CAV Japan today announced [JP] iPod speakers designed like Hello Kitty, the dream cartoon cat of millions of teenage girls. The maker says the speaker dock comes with “Surface Mounting Technology” and “Lossless Energy Amplification Technology” for 360° sound, but the design is the main selling point in this case.

The funny thing with the pinball machine is it has enjoyed more longevity than most game consoles. In fact, the iconic arcade staple has been shrunken down to accommodate an iPhone as part of New Potato’s attempt at revitalizing the art form.
Officially dubbed Pinball Magic, this cheeky bit of gamesmanship has just been released and will no doubt cause many pinball devotees to succumb in an instant.
Best suited in conjunction with its official pinball app, Pinball Magic adds that extra touch of miniaturized realism with its foldable legs and assorted buttons. These include flippers, a ball-launching plunger and a LED ...
Apple (finally) released iOS 4.0.2 and iOS 3.2.2 firmware to patch the PDF exploit, the very large security holes exploited by @comex in the 2nd incarnation of jailbreakme.com. The only problem is they outright abandoned iPhone 2G and iPod Touch 1G users! and on the other hand iOS 4.0.2, 3.2.2 is NOT jailbreakable ATM which means all other iDevices running iOS 4.0.1 or lower are still vulnerable.
Even though Apple acknowledges in their security update the severity of these holes, they left iPhone 2G and iPod Touch 1G owners high and dry — completely vulnerable to truly malicious variants of jailbreakme ...
Jailbreaking is truly and totally back for every iDevice, and it hasn't been this easy for years. But with iOS 4's new features, is it worth the (minimal) effort? 16 times yes.
Now that multitasking, apps and custom wallpapers are standard features in iOS, it might seem like there really isn't a point to jailbreaking anymore. But as i(Phone)OS has grown wings, so too has the jailbreak scene; for every tardy feature that's cropped up in Apple's official software, wily jailbreakers have come up with something fresher—and often waaaay cooler—to release in their underground App Stores. Here's the best the jailbreak ...
The AcuTouch 9500, which will be available later this year, is basically a normal massage chair until its paired with the HT Connect app for iPhone/iPad/iPod. Then it becomes a formidable, customizable machine for tackling your toughest tension areas.
Review video by Zedomax.com:
HT Connect doesn't just let you control the massage chair the way current remote controls already do—it lets you program your own custom massage.
The app first performs an "acupoint detection" to figure out the location of your optimal massage points based on your body build. Then you can set your massage program, adjust its intensity, and save ...

When I write about Apple, I do my best to lay out some historical data and discuss where we came from as it helps put things in perspective for whatever I’m about to rant or rave about. There have been way too many times where I complain about the price of a machine and soon realize it’s actually cheaper than the last generation model.
I wish meaningless facts like the viewing angle of Apple’s 23″ Apple Cinema Display and the price of the Dual 500Mhz PowerMac G4 were just stuck in my head, but they’re not. I cheat quite a bit ...
