Look, the Flexible Gooseneck MFi-Certified Lightning Cable is a useful product any way you slice it, rebate or not. It’s not just a charging cable, but also sort of like a stand. There’s a bunch of stuff you can do with it.

You’ll want to use this charger even when you’re fully juiced. Not only does it charge up your iOS device, but its flexible, durable design molds into whatever form you choose. Since it keeps your iDevice sturdy and still, it also makes for a great tripod for capturing photos —Insta and print alike.

– Dock your iPhone or iPod at eye level
– Take photos & videos that aren’t blurry w/ the photo & video tripod
– Easily video chat from your phone
– Slip it in your bag thanks to its lightweight, durable design
– Charge & sync your iPhone anywhere
– Talk hands-free when you drive w/ the included phone mount
– Plug it into your car w/ the car adapter

They normally charge $40, and we’d still think it’s a decent price. But at $13? Yeah, get one, what’s there to lose?

Deal Of The Day: 30% Off On MicFlip Fully-Reversible Micro USB Cable

micflip-1

Reversible USB cables are great. It’s the little annoyances that this type of “innovation” gets us rid of that make us smile. The MicFlip Fully-Reversible Micro USB Cable will make juicing up your non-Lightning Plug device just a little bit easier.

No more fumbling to plug in your micro USB devices. The MicFlip is the world’s first reversible micro USB cable, and it has an incredibly durable nylon braided cord that’ll stand the test of time. Its cord is also tangle-free, so there won’t be a huge crisscrossed mess in your bag or pocket when you pull it out to charge up.

– Gold-coated, corrosion-resistant plugs
– Strong braided nylon cable
– Aluminum housing
– 6-foot long cord
– Rubber protector on connector
– Versatile reversible micro USB design

Now, why they wouldn’t make the USB part reversible as well is beyond me, but it’s ok, since that part normally stays plugged in while the Micro-USB is the one that keeps going in and out of your mobile device. Normally $20, the cable is now $13.99.

Now This Is A Flustercuck: CERN Has To Untangle 9,000 Cables Before The Next LHC Upgrade

If the sight of the spaghetti tangle of cables behind your desktop gives you anxiety, consider yourself lucky you’re not one of the CERN engineers tasked to remove old cabling at the Large Hadron Collider before its next big equipment upgrade. Over the years of upgrades and maintenance, the particle accelerator has grown in complexity, and has left colossal piles of cables crisscrossing in a surprisingly disorganized manner. Now a team of 60 engineers is being tasked with figuring out which cable does what before it can be unplugged, lest the entire system lose data or go into failsafe mode and stop working. All 9,000 of them. And these are only the ones associated with the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PS Booster), the Proton Synchrotron (PS), and the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). So far the team has identified “2,700 of the 9,000 obsolete cables that are believed to exist in the three instruments. Evrard believes they will be able to find 8,000 of them before the LHC comes back online, which should make it feasible to get all the cables out of the way when the time comes for installing new cables in 2019 and 2020.”

It’s an interesting bit of news that might put our mundane hardware woes into perspective.

Everyone Needs The Pocketo Cable Organizer

Poketo-Cable-Organizer

It’s everyone’s dirty little secret: “Just don’t look under my desk.” We make efforts to keep a tidy apartment, but most of us simply balk at the idea of trying to make anything beautiful with the spaghetti strands that wiggle around the back of our desktop computers, so we just ignore that area. The Pocketo Cable Organizer tries to make the task marginally easier by providing you with a plastic pin-filled board to wrap your cables around. An adhesive back allows you to stick it to a wall, or under your work surface, and then it’s just a matter of routing your cables between the pins in any pattern that makes most sense to you. Best of all, it’s super cheat at $12 for a pack of 2.

titan-1

The cable that comes with your iPhone or iPad pretty much sucks. It’s fragile, needs replacing periodically, and doesn’t do half the things that the Titan Cable & Titan Loop Lightning Charger Bundle do.

Titan’s top-selling, MFi-certified, tangle-free charging cables now come in a pack, so you can conveniently charge anywhere life may take you. Titan’s original 3.25 foot cable is wrapped twice in industrial-grade, flexible steel and packs permanently-sealed USB and Lightning connectors that won’t be falling apart in this century, or the next. The Loop, its smaller sibling, features the same great strength, but also conveniently folds in half to attach to your keychain or belt loop. One for home, one for the road, it’s a match made in heaven.

– Wrapped in two layers of flexible, high-strength steel
– Includes sealed one-piece housing fused directly over the cable to keep the connectors in place
– Certified w/ Apple’s MFi program for safe charging
– Made to last for life
– Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty

Normally you’d have to pay $65 for the bundle, but today’s deal brings that down to $44.95.

Deal: Save 33% on Juiced Systems’ USB-C 6.5-Foot Braided Cable

Posted on by

The latest connector technology on the market is USB Type-C. It can be found on the latest 12″ MacBook, the Google Chromebook Pixel, and the Nokia N-1 Tablet among other devices. USB-C will eventually replace other connectors, and is the new standard for small USB connections.

If you have any of the aforementioned gadgets in your collection, you’ll definitely want to pick up a long cable for attaching standard USB-A devices, like printers and external hard drives. Since the USB 3.1 standard that goes along with USB-C is substantially faster than prior versions, you can transfer data at speeds up to 10Gbps – twice the speed of USB 3.0.
