First up, staff writers Christina Bonnington and Nathan Olivarez-Giles take a look at some of the strangest iPhone accessories out there, including a laser-projected keyboard, a toddler teething toy that houses an iPhone, and a iPhone and iPad charger that looks like a flask. Christina recently rounded up some of the most bizarre, creepy and cool i-accessories in a gallery right here on Gadget Lab, so take a look at that for more — including an iPotty. Yeah, it is what it sounds like it is.
Next up, Nathan is joined by Senior Writer Mat Honan to talk about the demise of Google Reader. While it might have been time for Google to give up on Reader — a niche product when compared to Google’s other massively products such as Android, Gmail and Google Maps — we’re still going to miss it immensely. For avid web readers, nothing matched the ease of use and functionality of Google Reader. It was far and away the best RSS tool out there, but sadly it hadn’t seem much in the way of updates in the last few years. As of July 1, Google Reader will be no more. But there are options for Reader users and Nathan and Mat have all your answers in the video above.
