Now normally I would not be adding a post about a bicycle under a site that is meant for gadgets, but this bike is pretty amazing. I have seen foldable bikes before and I have seen them in the folded and ridiculous looking bike-able version, but I have yet to see a bike like the foldable Kinfolk bicycle. Considering that it reminded me of a transformer or Inspector Gadget in various ways, I decided to bring the lime light to these new sensations.
You have seen the current style of foldable bicycles right? They look like tubes of metal attached

Remember hearing about allmyfaves.com? KBB.com is allmyfaves: AUTO EDITION, as I prefer to call it.
Kelley Blue Book is a website that provides consumers/users with the ultimate car database. In a nutshell, it is a collection of car values and prices. With Kelley Blue Book, you can research any car, discover the perfect car for you, or evaluate your own car.
I will give you an example. Hypothetically, let’s say I have a 2005 BMW X3. I am looking to buy a new car of a similar type but I am unsure of its competitors. So, I consult Kelley Blue Book.

Comixology
by Ronald A. Rowe August 20th, 2010 | Apple, Software
I'm what you might call an alpha-geek. I geek out on multiple levels. Technology and comic books are my areas of high geekdom, which is a fairly common pairing.
And so to my brothers-in-geekiness I offer a review of a gem you may have missed: Comixology. If you're not familiar with Coxmixology, it is an iPod app that allows you to download perfectly legal copies of comic books. In the early going, Comixology primarily featured small, independent press comics. But now the big guns are on board. Over time they have added more and more Marvel comics, and

4Chan is a Moot Point in the Sarah Palin Email Hack
by Jason Lightner August 18th, 2010 | Cyber Culture
For those of you who have not had the pleasure (or displeasure in some cases) of perusing the message threads of 4Chan (some boards NSFW), allow me to summarize. 4Chan is an image board with anonymity in mind where users can post about and discuss whatever they wish. Therein lies a loose-knit community who refer to themselves as simply "Anonymous." The 22-year-old founder of the website, Moot (Christopher Poole), has been dealing with the users' shenanigans for quite some time, as he seems to always come under fire when the users do something ridiculous.

Kinect
by Bea August 13th, 2010 | Research, Video Games
I honestly believe that Kinect is going to be Microsoft's claim to fame. Kinect for Xbox 360 allows for a controller-free gaming experience--pretty cool huh? What this means is that you can control the games with natural movements, spoken commands, or presented objects and images. How does it do it? The basic setup of the system is a webcam-based machine. However, I have a feeling that it is a whole lot more complicated than that.
The Kinect system is a horizontal bar that is connected to a small base with a motorized pivot. It uses an "RGB camera, depth sensor,
