You ever play a guitar that went out of tune in the middle of a performance? It sucks. But the whole “tuning” thing sucks worse because strings, by definition and physics, go out of tune as they’re being played. So how can electronics pick up the slack?

Have you ever been in the middle of using your computer, only to wish that you could operate it hands-free? Do you DJ or want to learn how? Then check out what the mad scientists at Keith McMillen have created: a foot-controller that opens up a bunch of possibilities. At its most basic, the Softstep is essentially a keyboard for your feet; but when used properly, it gives you access to two more hands. I’m not going to guess what you’re going to do with those new hands, but I can tell you why this peripheral is one you should peep after the jump!

There’s three things a good pair of headphones better do: seal off the outside; have a dynamic range (i.e. make your stolen MP3s sound like crap); and fit well enough so that you can wear them for hours. Courtesy of good padding, custom paired titanium plated drivers, a 10Hz-20 kHz range and sensible adjustment methods, these Fanny Wang on-ear headphones do it all. If you’re looking for a pair of headphones noticeably lacking a rapper’s name on them, check these out after the jump!

If you’re trying to figure out what you want for the holidays, you should check out the Sony PlayStation 3D Display TV. Not only does it have the highest possible definition for both 2D and 3D viewing, you no longer need to share screens (i.e. split-screens) for two-player gaming. COED had the chance to get an early look at the 24-inch display which comes out on November 13th. Check out the full review after the jump (Glasses not included).

This week’s “He Said / She Said” addresses technology’s impact on cheating. Most cheaters yearn for a time when accessibility was toned way down; when there were only one or two ways to get in touch with someone – mail (as in the Post Office) or landline phone (as in I’m not home, I’m not taking your call). While there are more opportunities to cheat, there are also more ways to get caught. Read our take on technology’s effects on relationships then vote in our poll after the jump.

The direct sequel to CoD: MW2 follows the continuing storyline of U.S. forces battling an invasion by the Russian Federation following the framing of an undercover U.S. agent in a terrorist attack on Moscow. It releases November 8th. Nothing gets us more pumped than being able to play the game ON RELEASE DAY. That’s why we’re going to help two lucky fans do just that!

You want to be able to access your files from anywhere in the world, but leaving them up in the clouds means that your files are capable of being accessed anywhere (by anyone) in the world. Sending them via email means the same thing. The only way you can keep your files safe is by actually keeping them on the computer until you need them. Enter the iTwins. These guys will make sure that only one person (you) can access whatever files you need from wherever you need them from. Check out our review after the jump!

So you walk into the party and right from the get-go you realize that the tunes playing are total crap. You’ve got better stuff on your smartphone, but there’s no way you’re going to search for an audio cable to plug into the headphone jack or start messing with the guy’s stereo or some pair of powered speakers. That’s where the Kanex AirBlue comes in: first because it’s smaller than a hockey puck, but shaped like one and runs off rechargeable USB power, and second, because it’s got streaming Bluetooth-tech built in.

What if your iPad falls off your desk? Worse yet, how ’bout if it dives face first onto a concrete floor? As if one of those nifty looking cases offer any real protection. If a case is supposed to protect, it’s got to do more than just be a pretty looking wrapper.G-Form says they have you covered. Their Extreme Sleeve doesn’t look like it’s out to win any bullsh*t awards either. The company has a video [see below] that shows them dropping a bowling ball on the sleeve with an iPad inside. Check out their demonstration and a little experiment of our own after the jump!
