Most of you don’t need to charge 16 iPads or iDevices at once, but multi-charge solutions are imperative for businesses, hospitals, libraries, schools, and, well, LAN parties, of course. Datamation Systems, the company behind the original iPad charging cabinet, has introduced the Power Pad 16, which provides power for 16 iPads or iDevices at once, without the need for bulky power strips and the AC adapter bricks of the standard chargers. This compact charging solution uses the iPad’s USB cord to plug into the sleek and portable base station. It’s definitely a more elegant solution than some of the other designs that we’ve seen multi-chargers use, such as the Griffin Multidock, which can only accommodate 10 iPads at once. Datamation’s larger storage cabinets are table-top charging solutions that can charge between 20 and 40 iPads, but like the Multidock, they are not easily transported.

Remember the j5 Create Wormhole KM Switch we reviewed a couple months back? Don't buy that . Instead, do yourself and your Apple-wielding friends a favor and grab the $40 cross-platform version of the peripheral sharing cable instead. Not sure what I'm talking about? Visualize this: Right now, I'm typing this article on my MacBook Air, but my fingers are physically hitting the comfortable keyboard connected to my Windows desktop machine.

Here are some other LCD projector plans recently mailed to me by somebody, I scanned them in for you: By the time you are done going through all this information, you should be able to build a video projector that will work as well as any one of the brand name LCD video projectors that cost hundreds to thousands of dollars, for less than $300. To get started you need to know how these projectors work. It's quite simple really; the projector uses a different light source other than the LCD monitor.

USB Stick Contains Dual-Core Computer, Turns Any Screen Into an Android Station | blog
Is that a USB key in your pocket or a dual-core computer? Today, Norwegian company FXI technologies showed off a USB stick-sized portable computer prototype, complete with a dual-core 1.2-GHz Samsung Exynos ARM CPU (same as in the Galaxy S II), 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI-out and a microSD card slot for memory. Codenamed Cotton Candy because its 21 gram weight is the same as a bag of the confection, the tiny PC enables what its inventor calls “Any Screen Computing,” the ability to turn any TV, laptop, phone, tablet, or set-top box into a dumb terminal for its Android operating system. The Cotton Candy has a USB 2.0 connector on one end and an HDMI jack on the other. When connected to an HDTV, it uses the HDMI port for video, the USB for power, and Bluetooth to connect to a keyboard, mouse, or tablet for controlling the operating system.Universal 3D Glasses™ - XPAND
