Nothing gets geeks into a seething tech frenzy like poor cellphone reception… and it doesn’t help that we couldn’t resist the glossy black smoothness of the iPhone and AT&T sucks for cellphone service. Sad.
Well quit staring at your one-bar-worth of signal strength and pick up this handy Cellphone Signal Extender for your home or office. Simply mount the included antenna near a window and run the coax cable to the base booster unit. You get 2500 square feet of prime signal area (enough to cover 2-3 rooms on two different floors). We went from 1 bar… to 5 at the ThinkGeek secret headquarters and made our iPhones very happy in the process. (more…)

Compared to Meizu’s native China, the US is a haven for intellectual property protection — and as far as we’re concerned, not a single tweak done to the M8’s design since its intro has ventured far enough from the iPhone to keep Apple’s sharks lawyers from circling. Nevertheless, Chinese site CNMO reports that the M8 could make its first real, actual public appearance (as opposed to the countless renderings and dummies the company has produced so far) in Sin City itself as part of the CES festivities in early January with retail availability as early as February.

Users who feel the unwelcome intrusion of the friendly neighborhood pervert but who don’t want to make a scene on a crowded train are encouraged to activate the Java app and thrust the phone into the face of the sad freak.
