Cup&Up Surgically Implanted Bras Won't Affect Lingerie Sales Any Time Soon

The Seiko UC-2000 Wrist PC: An Awkward '80s Attempt To Live The Cyborg Life
The UC-2000 or "Wrist Information System" was one of Seiko's attempts (circa 1984) to create a wearable, portable computer. Of course, you couldn't do much more than input around 2K of data, tell the time, and perform calculator functions. More » -

Droid Eris Review
I've reviewed the Droid Eris twice before, when it was called the Hero. The difference is that Verizon's selling it for half the price, making it the cheapest Android phone you can buy—and the best, for the money. More » -

Nick Bilton the Lead Blogger at NYT Bits
My good friend Nick Bilton is going to the NYTimes Bits blog as their lead writer.

Yeti USB Mic Is "The World's First THX Certified Microphone"
At $150, Blue Microphone's new THX certified Yeti might not be the best investment for something as simple as Skype, but if you are doing podcasts, music recordings, or old-timey variety shows, it might be worth the extra cash. More » -

Carl Sagan Deep Space Ship to Go to the Living Room and Beyond
When I was 12, Cosmos was one of my favorite TV shows. The other was Benny Hill. Clearly, planetary exploration and semi-neekeed girls go together like William Shatner and Elton John songs, whiskey and glass, or Lego and awesome spaceships. More » -

Vitruvian Voltron
If only Leonardo da Vinci had 1980s cartoons as his muse, it would be Voltron representing Man's innate tie to geometry and architecture. Live in that better world by purchasing this $18 t-shirt, or sniffing more Crayola. [ThinkGeek via RedFerret] -

World's Largest Bathtub. Just that: World's Largest Bathtub
I wanted so badly to have a large, English-style, only-nose-out, soak-like-a-hippo bathtub in my new apartment. I settled for a large shower, but at 72 by 12 feet, maybe I should have rented the world's largest bathtub instead. More » -

Razer's No-Frills Abyssus Gaming Mouse Needs More Frills
I'm a minimalist when it comes to mouse bling, but for $50, Razer's Abyssus is a little too lean—there aren't even any thumb buttons—just raw 3500DPI tracking and a 1ms response time with on-the-fly adjustment. More » -
