Swingline Introduces a New Hands-Free Shredder

via The Gadgeteer by Janet Cloninger on 8/29/12

The new Red Swingline Stack-and-Shred 60X Hands-Free Shredder is a heavy-duty shredder that makes short work of papers, staples, paperclips and credit cards.  Like other household shredders, you can feed papers by hand, but this Swingline shredder also allows you to stack up to 60 pages inside for hand-free shredding.  It securely disposes of your personal papers and credit cards with cross-cut shredding at security level 3.  It’s whisper quiet, and it has a 4-gallon bin that won’t need constant emptying.  You can purchase this red shredder from Amazon for $135.00.  For a limited time, you’ll also receive a matching red Swingline stapler.

Samsung brings speedy UHSI class SD and microSD memory cards in new 64GB sizes to IFA 2012

We've seen UHS-I class SD and microSD cards capable of incredible speeds before, and Samsung unveiled a few 16GB microSD modules of its own earlier this year, but now it's showing off 64GB sized versions at IFA 2012. The top of the line Pro editions intended for high speed LTE-connected phones and tablets are capable of read/write speeds at 80MB/40MB per second (SD) and 70MB/20MB per second (microSD). If you're not with us in Germany, you should be able to get your hands on them in mid-October.

Unknown HTC Tablet Photos Leaked, Unique Design Included

via Pocketnow by Jaime Rivera on 8/28/12

We’ve all been secretly begging HTC every night in our prayers for a tablet. The HTC Flyer may not have flown off the shelves, but the concept was good and all it needed was a better price tag. Now we’ve run across a couple of images of a mysterious HTC Tablet that looks, well, different. It doesn’t look like an iPad, but it looks like a portable iMac where the bezel is larger on one side of the tablet than the other. The back seems to be made of polycarbonate and it shares some of the HTC One X design language with rounded curves all around. The device is definitely an ...

Grooveshark Swims Back Into The Play Store – Offers Free Unlimited Music Str...

Grooveshark is making a triumphant return into the Google Play Store after being expelled more than a year ago for copyright claims. So, its return definitely isn’t without controversy. The streaming music service has come under fire from music labels looking to shut the site down for not having the necessary licensing agreements needed offer a good portion of music streamed from their site. Grooveshark was nothing but optimistic, releasing a statement saying:

“After working closely with Google to get rogue apps removed, we’re delighted that the official Grooveshark app has been reinstated in the Android market. Grooveshark is dedicated to helping music fans search, discover and share music while pioneering new artist promotion, distribution and monetization techniques. We look forward to continuing to build a relationship with Android and leverage this fantastic platform for our partners.”

While Grooveshark’s future is still a bit uncertain, those that would like to try out a new Pandora-like music streaming service can do so free of charge. For those that are looking for on-demand music streaming (ala Rdio), there’s also a $9 a month option available. Anyone excited Grooveshark’s back?

After announcing it would take a 'fresh look' at the ban of using electronic devices during takeoff and landing, the FAA has just announced that it'll be forming a new committee to study, analyze and reconsider the issue.

T-Mobile Won’t Carry The iPhone 5, Tells Employees To Sell Against It on Sep...

via Pocketnow by Jaime Rivera on 8/28/12

For those die-hard T-Mobile customers expecting an iPhone this holiday season, it seems that an unlocked phone with blazing EDGE speeds is still the way to go. A recent memo sent to T-Mobile employees was just uncovered, and the company is asking its staff to “Sell against the iPhone” on September 21st. Now we already know that the date is the rumored launch that everybody is managing at the moment, but since T-Mobile has never been a partner with Apple, we wouldn’t call this another way to confirm the date. It could just be that they’re speculating the release ...
