Folding, Electric Vienna Bike Is Dorky But Practical
The US has yet to join the rest of the world in the large-scale deployment of powered bikes, and I doubt this particular item will change that, but it’s always worth noting when a nice, practical vehicle like this shows up. This one is called the Vienna Bike, and it’s designed by Valentin Vodev of Pixstudio , a design studio (naturally) based (naturally) in Vienna. Its narrow (only 35cm wide) trike frame means extra stability for the load in the back while still providing bike-like handling. The ...

Seagate’s GoFlex Satellite HDD invites Android users to its media streaming party
When we took a look at Seagate's GoFlex Satellite back in May, we recommended that non-iOS buyers hold off until the company rolled out an app for different operating systems. Android users take note, the storage company today took the wraps off of an app that lets users wirelessly stream content like HD videos from the external hard drive to devices running their favorite dessert-themed mobile OS. No internet connection is required to stream, you just need to be in range ...
