Legitimate (read: legal) Famicon support for your DS Lite may seem like a dream come true for the retro gamer, but Cyber Gadget’s Cyber Famulator Lite might be a little much to ask for all but the geekiest. You have to strap on a (barely) pared down “famiclone” system onto your cute little portable, but pulling out and blowing into a dirty old Metroid cart on the go will no doubt be a privilege for some.

Mio’s apparently got two new units, um, moving through the FCC: the Moov and Moov XL, which will feature Bluetooth, a new UI, and a 3.5 and 4.3-inch displays, respectively. We’ll let you know when they go legit.

Filed under: Transportation, WirelessMerely hours after hearing that a contactless payment trial was going live on San Francisco’s BART, along comes word that a test of a slightly different nature was also underway on the very same public transportation system. Reportedly, a recent Wi-Fi Rail installation on a select stretch of track proved that WiFi could be delivered to passengers at around 15Mbps — up and down — and if things go smoothly, the firm hopes to get its technology onto all sorts of rail systems across the globe. Unfortunately, there doesn’t look to be any firm plans for the trial to stick on BART, but who knows, keep on refreshing that nearby network list on the morning commute and you might just get lucky.

Apparently somewhere along the way Dean Kamen’s robo-prosthestesis came to be called the Luke arm (care to guess why?), and according to the IEEE Spectrum blog, it’s gearing up to undergo Food and Drug Administration trials pending DARPA’s final thumbs-up, which would put the project in motion. Be sure to check out the rest of the profile of the arm’s development, which is well worth the read.

With the AppleTV “take 2” still not available, Vudu seems to be willing to put up a strong fight to remain in the market. It was just last week that Vudu lowered their price by 25% and have now added more HD content.

A new update, that will bring the software to version 1.2 will add about 80 more movies and also adds an on-screen broadband instant-HD indicator. The movies are priced starting at $4 each, which is comparable to the AppleTV pricing. The indicator will help the instant start movies by giving users an alert as to whether or not their current broadband speed will be able to handle the movie without any delays in watching. It also has a recommendation option that will help you choose the best movies based on your broadband speed. Like other competing services, the eventual winner will come down to who has the better user experience and more available content.

If you think that getting a waterproof digital camera case for your precious photo-snapping device might be a bit over the top, why not settle for the Hydrophobia 300 - 600? This is touted to be the first rain cover that was meant to be pre-mounted for quick deployment. Perfect for those who work in the field and don’t want the unpredictable weather to spoil not only the shot but equipment, it can be deployed quickly and without hassle. The Hydrophobia is capable of fitting over a 300 f2.8, 400 f2.8, 500 f4, and 600 f4 lenses, ideally pitting it in the sports and nature photography markets. The fabric used claims to be 10 times more waterproof than standard fabric, relying on a “film” on the underside instead of a “spray” coating. Waterproof tape is applied to all seams to create a seemingly and thoroughly waterproof cover. No idea on how much it costs though.

For Rock Band players that have also had some experience with a bona fide six-string, getting used to that plastic strum bar can take some work. For one gamer in particular, he decided to spend that time doing something a bit more productive than getting acclimated, like adding in an actual guitar string. There’s also a switch mechanism that gets triggered by said string, which then sends an input to the game. Pretty swank, we say — check out the video for yourself after the jump!

Assuming all you’ve got in your office are yellow Post-It notes, this toast-shaped dispenser is an absolute must-have for your desk. It isn’t clear what size of sticky notes fit into the cleverly named Toasted Notes accessory, but does it really matter?

The dispenser normally sells for $7.50 but is currently listed as being “temporarily out of the stock.” Oh well. I only have green and pink Post-Its in my drawer, anyway.
