I am increasingly using google products on my iOS devices. Google Chrome, Gmail, google search app, maps… I would like to see apple allow me to choose the default app that opens when a link is clicked. Currently if I receive an email with a link, that link opens in Safari. I like that google is going the other way allowing me to share a link from chrome to native iOS apps like messages.

This product from Philips just got added to my wish list. I think there is much opportunity for companies to use wireless technologies in home automation. Heating and ventilation products like nest, lighting ambiance and controls from Hue. Only available on the apple store for now.

This looks amazing. I’m definitely going to check this out. I’m a huge fan of 80’s synth. You can’t beat the $14.99 price tag. Price doubles on Jan 1st, get it while you can.

I really like this idea of using a white board as table top for a desk. I’m always looking for scrap pieces of paper to write notes while I’m on the phone, it would be great to just write right on the desk!

I’ve been looking for a DIY project for some time now. I’m intrigued by the possibilities of this $35 do-hickey. It doesn’t get any more bear bones than this. The thing doesn’t even come with a power supply and even if you do have a microUSB power adapter lying around, it has to yield the proper amperage to work properly. But getting a media server or a home web server up and running for under $50 is really a feat of technology. You might lose your mind setting the thing up but the feeling of accomplishment when you watch your first movie in all it’s HDMI glory off a device that you pretty much finish building might just be worth the effort.

Surface looks like an interesting competitor to the android tablets and the iPad. At the very least having more options is good for innovation. I question Microsoft’s price point for the surface. Although the surface 32gig model is priced the same as the iPad’s 16gig version, I’m not sure this is enough to attack iPad sales given the lack of a mature app store. If you are in the market for a new windows laptop and you have an Xbox at home this could be a very compelling device.
