ICufflinks turn your wrists into sleeping computers I don’t know what’s most impressive about the iCufflinks. It could be the fact that these glowing standby-symbols fit their electronics into such a tiny package, or it could be that the makers at Adafruit actually reverse-engineered the pulsing sleep light from Apple’s MacBooks. Each cufflink contains an LED, a battery and the controlling circuitry.

All your sci-fi dreams of being able to talk to your gadgets and have the do your bidding are slowly becoming a reality. Nuance , the company behind Dragon NaturallySpeaking, has been at the forefront of the technology since 1997 and, with the release of 11.5, it has added a few neat tricks to its dictation-taking repertoire.

Long gone are the days of the airtight Apple ship. In its place, in the past and today , especially, are leaks like these: Advanced Nuance voice recognition could be included in iOS 5 after all, and…new MacBook Airs, oh my! More??

Smartphones have been going to space for a while now — well, technically near space in most cases — but in decidedly DIY ways, including a “shuttle” made out of Styrofoam beer coolers . But the actual Space Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to complete its final voyage with a pair of space-ready iPhone 4′s aboard.

This week is all about stuff we knew was happening actually happening: we got a big ol’ slice of Apple pie raining down from the clouds, a new way to control your Nintendo fever, and…a bunch of not-so-exciting news from the folks who bought you Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Notepad.
