My first thought on seeing the rather raggedy Multi-Format LED Display Watch was “that thing looks hand made”. Not hand made in the sense of a Vertu phone, put together by craftsmen one precision engineered bearing at a time, but home made as in “A bit of gaffer tape should ...

Leander Kahney, ex-Wired.com editor and Cult of Mac boss, just dropped $800 on an amplifier for his computer. He reckons he got a bargain.
