Samsung's 2013 HDTVs! Unleash Android, Hack Your Phone. $75 Audiophile Starter Kit. HP's WiFi Mouse. Sharp GX-M10 iPod Boom Box. Raspberry Pi Desktop

Thursday, March 21st, 2013 – running time 29:29

Can the $35 Raspberry Pi cut it as a Desktop PC? Rooting your Android Smart Phone is easier than you think... and it might be the only way to upgrade the OS. We love Puppy Linux! $50 speakers worth owning? Screw Bluetooth, we've got a WiFi mouse!

Plus Lepai 20W Class T Amp. Props to Steve Guttenberg for the heads-up on the B652 speakers and Sharp's GX-M10: a big, colorful, 100 Watt portable audio system.

Raspberry Pi Challenge Update

Patrick has tried the Raspberry Pi challenge--where he completely replaced his desktop computer with the $35 PC--but the results weren't great. See his take on the experience and some awesome Raspberry Pi projects that hackers have been working on.

Sharp GX-M10

We take a look at the Sharp GX-M10 boombox. This portable monster takes 10 D batteries and fits all sorts of Apple devices (including the iPad!). It sounds pretty decent...but are the days of holding a boombox above your head outside of your lover's window over? Maybe that's for you to decide.

HP WiFi Mobile Mouse Review

Last week we had a question about dongle-less mouses for connecting to sleek laptops. A few of you suggested taking a look at the HP WiFi Mobile mouse. This thing works as you expect a wireless mouse to work. The only downside is you need to install extra software that is Windows-only at the moment.
