>>>When I need to get serious work done,
a good pair of headphones is a necessity.
These German-made wonders provide
excellent sound quality, even at low
volumes. The over-the-ear design gives
me the sound isolation I need to focus,
whether it’s my coworkers talking loudly
in the office or my roommate blaring an
episode of Law & Order on the TV at home.

>>>Roku’s set-top boxes keep getting better. This latest one streams
content wirelessly over your network and outputs 1080p HD video
to your television. The 2 XS model features a Bluetooth-enabled
remote with a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope, so you can use
it to play games like Angry Birds in between watching Netflix, Hulu,
and all your other media.

>>>These are a far cry from the wood blocks I played with as a kid. Embedded sensors make these high-tech cubes aware of their orientation and spatial relation to ne another. The touch-sensitive screen can be used for all sorts of games, and you can build your own with the Creativity Kit software. Plus you’ll get more than three hours of playtime on a single charge.

>>>I can’t help but be reminded
of the G4 iMac when I look at the
iLuv iMM514. The articulating arm
can hold your iPad in portrait or
landscape orientation, and it’s small
enough to fit just about anywhere.
The included remote is perfect for
navigating your music library, and
when it’s not in use, you can stash it
on the back of the unit with cleverly
placed magnets.
