In A Sea Of iPad Cases, Lazy-Hands Stands Out With Little More Than Velcro, Cloth, and Ingenuity
Author: Gabe Hall
CES is all about the little guy this year. At least, for us it is. As easy as it is to spill a thousand words out over some new 300-inch floating TV that no currently breathing mortal will be able to afford, we aimed to route around the show’s bellowing giants and find the self-made gems so often lost in their shadows.
Lazy-Hands is the epitome of one of these gems. Armed with little more than velcro, a humble booth, and a dash of ingenuity, they managed to catch our eye amongst thousands of competitors who were twice their size and nth as loud.
The concept behind Lazy-Hands isn’t a complicated one: take a velcro patch and stick it to your device, wrap a couple of velcro-friendly loops around your fingers, and you’ve got an iPad (or iPhone, or Kindle, or whatever else, really) that clings to your hand wherever you might want to place it. It’s a simple product made of almost fundamental materials, and yet it pulls off something quite neat.
Slapping a slab of velcro onto your $ 500 device obviously isn’t the prettiest solution, but it gets the job done in a universal way — and remember: this is a Mom N’ Pop operation. Let them ship a few thousand of these things and pull in a bit of tinkering money, then watch for what they come up with next.
The Lazy-Hands runs from $ 9.00 up to $ 18.00, depending on the size of the device you’re installing it on and the number of fingerloops that you’ll need to support its weight. You can find them all here.

Samsung denied a second time, Galaxy Tab ban stands
Author: Nancy Kennedy
You can’t blame ‘em for attempting, but it’s no shock that Samsung’s second effort to place a hold on the approaching American ban of its Galaxy Tab failed. Judge Koh has currently say the preparatory injunction might not hang around while the Korean business pursued an appeal, and now the Court of Appeals is backing her up. To make matters worse, the court has also rejected to accelerate the appeal procedure, potentially extending the time the flagship slates are missing out on from the racks. Now Sammy will certainly just need to wait for the trial to begin on July 30th and hope for a victory, or return and renovate its tablets to look less like an iPad. We hear that triangles could be the ticket.

The Daily Stands By The iPad Office Pic And Story
Author: Jesus Sargent
Suite anticipation, said The Daily. The News Corp iPad mag broke the news this morning that Microsoft was about to submit its productivity suite to Apple for review. They even had a photo of the app running on an iPad to back up their claim — which they triple watermarked for some reason. The outlet specluated that the app could launch in the “coming weeks.” But then Microsoft responded, telling ZDNet that “The Daily’s story is not a picture of a real Microsoft software product.”
I reached out to The Daily’s Apps & Tech Editor Peter Ha for confirmation. Having personally worked with him for a couple of years here at TechCrunch, I knew he was not one to run a story of this magnitude without plenty of fact checking. Sure enough, they did their homework and Ha stands by the story and pic.
We’ve been chasing this story down for weeks. We did not fabricate the image and Microsoft isn’t denying the existence of Office for iPad. All this fuss over a photo is nonsense. The story is real.
We also got confirmation from local sources in Seattle, who assure us that the software is real and being developed in-house. However, as the build in the picture is far from final, Microsoft can deny (in its overly specific way) that it’s not a real product.

Spotify signs UMG, only Warner stands in the way of US invasion?
Author: Jon Mitchell
Six months ago, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek couldn’t tell us when his subscription streaming music service might launch in the United States, and that won’t change today, but apparently there’s not much left keeping $ 10 unlimited monthly music away. All Things D reports that Spotify has signed Universal Music Group to a US distribution deal, the third of the four largest labels to agree, and anonymous sources say the last remaining holdout, Warner Music, may also soon cave. Mind you, one of Spotify’s most intriguing new features just got shown up by iTunes in the Cloud, but when it comes to extra competition and consumer choice, we won’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

Hope Floats Stands: Experimental Therapy Allows Man To Stand For First Time In 4 Years
Author:
25-year old Rob Summers, formally a successful college pitcher, was left paralyzed from the waist down after a hit-and-run incident four years ago. And now, thanks to an experimental new form of therapy, has been able to take the second first steps of his life.
What we’ve really discovered is the neurons in the spinal cord can do all the same things as the nerves in the brain,” says lead study author Susan Harkema, of the University of Louisville.
Summers’ injury disrupted the nerve pathway that normally triggers walking. Researchers implanted an electrical stimulator at the base of the spine that – along with special exercises – allowed his legs to move without input from the brain.
He’s also made other meaningful progress – regaining bladder and sexual function. But he’s still wheelchair-bound, and doctors cannot say whether he’ll walk again on his own. But, every day, he remembers the first time he stood up.
“It’s that moment that continues to give me the hope for tomorrow, and the future for this project – and helping out millions of other people in my same situation,” Summer says.
*wiping tear* Heartwarming. Plus he regained bladder and sexual function — you can’t beat that with a stick! I mean, you could, but I’d try sweet-talking a nurse first.

Thanks to Terence, who’s hard at work on the exact opposite problem: how to spend less time standing and more time lying down.

Synology introduces DiskStation DS211+, review finds the plus stands for performance
Author: Tyler Evans
If you’re not down with this whole “careless computing” craze you still need somewhere to stuff your files, and Synology has introduced a new high-performance and (relatively) low-cost option. It’s the DS211+, a dual-bay, hot-swappable NAS with an integrated card reader and software providing easy security administration, remote access, and even surveillance storage duties. It’s priced at “around $ 400″ and, according to an early review at KitGuru, it’s well worth the cost, delivering “stunning levels of bandwidth” and leading to various other hyperbolic conclusions that make us think you might want to wait for a second, less euphemistic opinion before clicking the buy button.

No Comments »Lexmark Genesis: An All-in-one Printer that stands upright
Author: Tristan Richards
The Lexmark Genesis also sports a 10-megapixel imaging sensor that enables it to transfer a page from “document to digital†in seconds. It takes just .750 milliseconds after you close its front-facing scan bay, for the CMOS sensor to generate a preview on the 4.3-inch color touchscreen, and 2.2 seconds after that, it’s scanned a full 4800 x 1200 image.
The Lexmark Genesis will be launched sometime next year for $ 399.

IStand is a POS Pole for the iPad
Author: Rod Sutherland
It’s a stand for the iPad, and so of course it is called the iStand, but it’s also an elegant piece of furniture. The Danish-designed stand is aimed at POS use (no, not that POS) and holds the iPad at a handy browsing height allowing customers to flip through catalogs, menus or any kind of information. I can imagine these in use both as educational aids in museums and also by clipboard-nazis as they deny you entry to their lame but “exclusive” nightclub.
The iStand has space for a dock-cable and bolts shut around the iPad. It also covers the home button to prevent tinkering, so you’d better be sure you have launched the correct app before you lock it up. It tilts and swivels, too, depending on how you want to use it.
The company behind the iStand, InSilico, also makes companion apps, although these are not listed in the app store. They are pretty self explanatory: They’re called iCatalogue and iMagazine. I’m thinking it would be pretty cool to put a couple of these in Wired’s reception hall showing the iPad version of the mag (or better, tuned to the Gadget Lab page). The only problem there would be in the New York office, where Bureau Chief John C Abell does a lot of his “work” in the comfy reception-area armchairs, and his snoring might scare people off.
Depending on the price of this simple metal pole and mount, the iStand plus iPad combo could be a very cheap way for businesses to get a custom interactive POS system. Knowing what I do about the costs of velvet ropes and stands, though, the iStand is likely to cost more than the iPad itself.

No Comments »Nokia Kinetic concept phone stands up when you get a call
Author: Alexander McQueen
We’ve never seen a phone raise and stand on it’s own like a zombie from a grave, but we dig this concept of just such a phone. This Nokia Kinetic concept design will use an electromagnet in it’s thick base to shift the balance so that it gradually rises or lowers itself.
When you get a call or a text message, the phone will gradually stand up, letting you know that you have a call. If you don’t want to answer the call, just tap it to reject. Pretty neat.
Until phones start walking.
