This was the talk of the town at CES 2013! Lexus’ Advanced Active Safety Research Vehicle. This beauty is equipped with sensors that give it full awareness of it’s surroundings. Now I should probably stress that this is a research vehicle, Toyota/Lexus will things they learn from building and using this car to and incorporate them into their vehicles. Although this isn’t the most aerodynamic or aesthetically pleasing car… I want one! We got a chance to talk with Jason from Toyota to learn more about this car.

Last time we saw Karen the oldest of the Fire Sisters and now we have Tsukihi Araragi the younger Fire Sister. Unlike her older sister Tsukihi is tamed and well mannered as her appearance would suggest. As you can see she dresses in a Kimono and keeps a refined attitude like a doll but don’t let that fool you,
When I think of CES I think of different gadgets but I really don’t think about nails. Tat’z Nail’z decided to change my mind on that. It’s a machine that allows you to print any image you want on your fingernails! The machine comes with 5,000 designs, contains a USB port so you can bring your own images or even take a picture of yourself with the built in camera. Still don’t believe me? Watch this video and watch Rev go through the whole process of getting a nail painted.

I was super excited when I heard Apple announce the iPhone 5, that was until I heard there was a new dock connector. What was I going to do with all the docking accessories I had that used the 30-pin connector? CableJive came to the rescue with the dockBoss air! I managed to get an interview with Mike about this amazing device that has kept me from having to buy all new speaker docks.

Ever wanted to add a bit more flair when listening to music? How about adding a light show to your listening enjoyment? That is where the iGlowSound and iGlowSound pro comes into play! What is even cooler is that you could have an iGlowSound party and daisy chain a bunch of them together! Here’s the video I got with Oliver of i.Sound explaining all the different features of the iGlowSound.

Have you ever been in the situation where you are writing something down, hear the phone ring and then try to use the pen as a handset? I know that I have done that a few times. Dexim has the solution for this problem, a bluetooth stylus that can also be used as a speaker/headphone jack for music and you can even use it as a handset for your cellphone! Check out the video to find out more about this versatile stylus.

The first tablet I ever owned was a Windows XP tablet (yes, tablets existed before the iPad) and one of my favorite things about it was the stylus. Tablets now use capacitive touch screens and don’t require the use of a stylus. However, in some applications such as note taking and drawing it just doesn’t feel right to me using just my finger. That led me to looking at all the different stylus solutions out for capacitive screens. One of my favorite styli have been the Adonit Jot. We got a chance to stop by the Adonit booth and talk to Rafael about their newest stylus, Jot Touch.

Tales of Vesperia could be argued as the best “Tales” game to come out and is one of my favorite games of this series and of the female characters Rita Morido is my favorite. Alter has also made two other characters, Yuri and Flynn but soon to release Raven later this year. I don’t have a large collection of PVC figures so i tend to be picky when it comes to them so when Rita was released I was late to jump on the band wagon and missed out on getting her,
