We’ve covered MAME in gadgets and stories before, and honestly, who gets tried of these fantastic arcade consoles that play dozens, hundreds or even thousands of games? Not us!
Here’s one from Dream Arcades that plays over 150 games ‘out of the box’, has a giant 40″ screen and more controls than you can shake a … well, control, at!

Hey woodworking geeks, salivate over this hand-held CNC. It’s called the Origin, and it can work at any scale down to some very intricate pieces. Even better, its computer brain and robot innards corrects for your mistakes.
Other niceties: display so you can see what your cutting below, a touch-screen, a variable speed router, z-axis settings, dust extraction, and even cloud connectivity to transfer and share your designs.

Annoyed by your jumble of keys hanging off of your keychain? KeySmart offers up their eponymously-named product to wrangle those keys into submission. KeySmart consists of 2 laser-cut flat aluminum bars held together at its opposing ends by screws. Your keys fit in between the bars and rotate around the screw columns.
KeySmart prides itself on a precision-assembled product, a process that they show off in a video on their website, but it’s not a false claim. I could tell this as I was going through the steps of disassembling and then reassembling my unit.

We are proud to announce that the geeks, yours truly – Doug and Khalid, have written and published their very first book. We saw a great need for a single source of compiled information and advice that the average computer user could follow to improve and secure their online accounts and passwords.
Being in the IT and information security field, this is a subject that we speak about constantly, and yet while there are thousands of articles online, there were no books that nicely encapsulated all of that knowledge.
Every week, thousands of passwords and/or identities are stolen, and those are only the breaches we know about. Don’t become a statistic – follow the easy-to-follow advice in our book to greatly reduce your exposure.
As a holiday special, we’re giving it away tomorrow, Christmas Day, 25 Dec 2014!
We’d love to hear your thoughts. If you have a few minutes, help out other shoppers by posting a review on Amazon.
The folks at TheSnugg.com saw our review of the My Pad iPad case and wanted some GfG love for their iPad case too. We were more than happy to oblige and covered their leather iPad case.
I tested out a brown iPad 3 flip case in distressed brown, and was quite pleased with it. I only had minor quibble which I’ll get to later.

Despite being neck deep in the industry, it never ceases to amaze me how quickly technology progresses. Take ‘spy’ gadgets for example. Once upon a time, these were only to be seen in James Bond movies as mere fantasy. Fast-forward to today, and not only are many of those figments now real, they are extremely affordable. We’ve featured more than a few here at GfG ourselves.
The folks at UK’s Online Spy Shop put together a nice infographic that highlights some of the real-world spy gadgets that exist today that once made their debut on the silver screen. Ah, the future is stranger than you might think! The full graphic is after the jump.

Studio Credence sent us a sample of their take on the now very common iPad case – this one very closely resembles a classic leather-bound book that you may find on a bookshelf of an “old money” household. Named the My Pad iPad Case, the My Pad is in fact made with leather and suede, and very snugly fits a 3rd-generation iPad. No, it won’t fit a 1st generation iPad, something I wish more manufacturers would explicitly point out.

Here’s a hilarious video put together to advertise Adobe’s Marketing Cloud offering that highlights what happens to online marketers when they don’t know where their traffic is really coming from or what it’s doing.
Stay tuned to the end of the video to get the whole joke!
Yup, definitely one of a company’s worst nightmares 😉
Another portable charger you say? But wait, you’ll want to read about this one. The $129 Reservoir from Dark Energy is an 8000 mAh monster that can do double duty charging either 2 phones at once or 1 phone and 1 tablet.
I love the design – the all black, rubberized look with the pattern of indented circles immediately reminded me of the monolith slab from the book/movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. It does also come in white, and it would be nice to see other colors in the future. Unfortunately, the first photograph doesn’t do it justice. Take a look at the one below.
I was really surprised and happy about the weight. I completely expected it to be a great deal heavier given its capacity. I have another portable charger that could recharge my 2300mAh phone about 1.5 times that is at least as heavy as the Reservoir. Obviously, material choices make quite a difference.
