Lego Lunchbox, One More Step Toward the Lego Singularity
If you just can't seem to get enough Lego, now you can pack your lunch in one, available in your choice of pink, brown or blue. Unfortunately, that Lego cheeseburger isn't included in the box, and there's no word whether the lunchboxes interlock with each other. More »

Ulead VideoStudio 11 Software, First to Edit AVCHD Format
We've heard a lot of complaining about the paucity of editing tools for the nascent AVCHD video format, and now Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus comes along with that capability and a lot more. With AVCHD originator Panasonic's latest solid-state camcorders using the format, and Sony rocking more even cameras using it just the other day, the ability to edit that footage is long overdue.

Shootout at the HD Corral
Hardcore Testing Reveals Canon HV20 Is Best Consumer High-Def Camcorder
I feel a little bit guilty. The guys at Camcorderinfo.com, namely David Kender and John Neely, went to extreme measures to benchmark the four HD camcorders fighting for dominance in the very new consumer HD market. They wrote, like, over 10,000 words, and spent hours or possibly even days recording footage of the dude shown at right. And here I come along and blurt out the results in the freaking headline. The Canon HV20 ($1,000 to $1,100) beat out the Sony HDR-HC7 ($1,060 to $1,170), the Panasonic HDC-SD1 ($1,070 to $1,160), and the newcomer, JVC's Everio GZ-HD7 ($1,520 to $1,700). It didn't win hands-down, exactly, but in most cases it handily nudged out the competition. More »
take this comcast dvr, please
There's not much confirmation of this yet, but a source is telling us that TiVo is planning on releasing a Series 3-like HD recorder some time this fall. Whether this will have dual-tuners like the Series 3 is still unknown, but we're sure it will be gimped in some way in order to maintain interest in the higher-priced model.

Elios RescueBot Uses its Spider Arms to Save Lives
It's one thing to be rescued by a robot like this, but it's a completely different ballgame to see one of these creepy bots crawling your way when you're in need of help. Designed by Marcos Nolan, the Elios is a spider-like robot with 10 arms (carried in its belly) designed to lift people from harm's way and into safety. Optical and biometric sensors ensure Elios keeps on target whereas its rugged shell keeps it from being damaged. I admit, it looks cool as hell, but I'd probably faint if I saw one of these crawling my way. More »

Pop Art Toaster: What, No Jesus Face?
This "pop art" toaster (so clever, these marketers) comes with six preset designs, and none of them feature any religious iconography that'll net you 10 grand on eBay. Which begs the question: Why would you want to burn lame, cutesy designs like flowers into your toast? They just make your toast taste burnt. If I wanted burnt toast and cheese, I'd make a grilled cheese, not drop $35 on this toaster. More »

Turd Twister is like A Fecal Cookie Cutter
Holy crap, literally! The Turd Twister is one hell of a unique gadget. Remember those Play-Doh machines back in the day that would pump out spaghetti and other shapes in Play-Doh—well this is pretty much identical, but the dough is of a more home-made variety. Pop the Turd Twister of your choice into the poop chute and begin the fun! Anybody watch Sopranos last night? Yeah, Vito, Jr. could really use one of these. The set of 10 dishwasher safe designs is available for $10. More »

Only to find out that the beta expires tomorrow and that version 1.0 is out today. Go download it if you're a Slinghead. And btw, the Apple TV support is a Mac exclusive now.

EnergyTree—Forget to Recycle, Kill a Living Thing
Ben Arent, a creative young designer, has proposed the EnergyTree. Basically it's an actual tree that is connected to a processor that monitors your in-home environmental habits. And depending on your energy/recycling routines you will either feed your baby tree water & nutrients or poison. That's right, if you are bad to the planet you will see the effects in your very own home, as your tree begins to die. More »
