For $130 you can plug in Pinnacle’s HD Ultimate into your laptop and then watch HDTV.

This USB device has its own antenna, receiving HD broadcasts from the airwaves — unless of course, you live in the boonies. I don’t even know what I would get from airwaves, having had cable for so long.

But it’s an option for some of you. Btw, the desktop computer version costs $80.

The eagerly awaited Ironman is here. Timex has finally unveiled the iControl watch, a sports watch that doubles as your iPod’s remote control system.

Ask this $160 watch from the UK’s Mr. Jones Watches a yes or no question, and if you don’t like the answer, just wait a second. You see, each second alternates between, well, "yes" and "no." I suppose if you really wanted to devote your life to the Fates, you could just think of the question in your mind, with your eyes closed, and then suddenly open them to see which answer is chosen. Or something like that. Probably not for life-altering decisions, really.

This falls somewhat in the "But Why?" category, but in any case it looks like Timex will be releasing a version of their Ironman sports watches that will incorporate iPod control via RF wireless. It’ll also be a decent watch, if not the prettiest.

Isn’t it unfair that it’s not socially acceptable for men to wear jewelry? I mean, we like shiny things as much as anyone, right guys? Whether or not it was his intention (and I’m reasonably sure it wasn’t), designer Philippe Starck has created a watch that’s effectively invisible, blending seamlessly into a lovely silver band that you can wear without feeling too girly (unless, you know, you like feeling girly). The crystal face of the watch has been flush mounted and electroplated to match the band to the point where you can barely (just barely) make out the hands… Sure, it might be a little difficult to tell time with it, but it sure is pretty. Good thing it’s a totally manly and practical watch, too. Yours for $150.
