Minutemen Arcade Takes Us Back to a Time That Never Was
I just love this Minutemen arcade machine. Sure it's just a Flash-based recreation of an 80s-style beat-them-up game that never happened, but I played for a few minutes and I want it for my iPhone. More »

Japanese Oral Grip Machine Tortures, Improves Smiles
The Japanese are not unfamiliar with using gadgets to improve their appearance, but this Oral Grip Machine just looks and sounds too painful to be used while not inundated with sake. It's a couple pieces of plastic you shove in your mouth to work your oral muscles out with for four minutes at a time, three times a day. Now, we've seen plenty of Japanese people, and their smiles being sub-par is probably pretty far down the list of things I thought about. However, maybe this is less for smiles, and more for the Japanese adult industry where oral strength is a trait much sought after (at least in the videos we've glanced at). [Patakara via Tokyo Mango]

Real-World Calvin Builds Snow Machine, Creates Backyard Mountain Overnight
Forest Pearson is a 10-year-old who saved $500 to build a snow-making machine from scratch. Forest Pearson is also our hero, who will probably grow to build a 100-person Jacuzzi on top of Everest. This real-world Calvin put together the machine using a 30-gallon air compressor and a pressure washer, with spray noozles that throw perfect snow powder. The machine may look simple in the following the image, but the results are stunning Update: now with video: More »

MC Square X1 Stimulates Brain Waves, Makes You Smarter?
The MC Square X1—a get-smart-quick device—is already huge in Korea. Its makers say it helps you relax and concentrate by targeting your brain's sensory preceptors with light and sound. It looks like a little MP3 player with an accompanying set of video glasses, but instead of displaying video, the glasses transmit pulsing red dots that are synchronized to music or nature sounds. The X1 also includes a voice recorder—so you can listen to your own soothing voice?— plus a miniSD slot for your photos and music. More » -

Chilled Shot Machine Makes Shots Go Down Smooth
We're not big shot drinkers here—we prefer the apple, mango, or grapetini ourselves—but this Chilled Shot Machine is just the thing to make your next small glass of booze go down smooth. The device fits a bottle up top, like a water cooler, and chills drinks all the way down to 15 degrees F. That may be colder than freezing temperature for water, but it's just right for alcohol. Sounds delicious, and makes us wish we hadn't already gotten wasted on a six-pack of Coronas before we started the day. [Skymall]

Of all the things that we've seen an iPod dock stuck onto, this washing machine is probably the worst.

How to Hack a Vending Machine
Following up our how to hack a coke machine coverage, here's a video on how to hack a snack machine. It's pretty much the same idea. Pay for something, but hold the release flap up on the bottom so the machine thinks it didn't drop your food. Then mash on the coin return button to get your money back. More » -
