Star Wars Rejected Promotional Crap Could Have Changed the Universe Forever

Here's another set of stunning, but rejected, Star Wars merchandise. These amazing examples of human genius go from a mini-fridge with Han Solo frozen in carbonite as its door to a Death Star BBQ, actual Leia's hair headphones and even an AT-AT chair caddy to hold your magazines, snacks and Pepsi—the marketing masterminds proposed all these gadgets—next to your favorite sofa. The best ones are frightening, yet irresistible. More »

Gizmondo Is Dead, Dead, Dead. DEAD and Not Coming Back

We received half a dozen tips earlier today from our Svenska readers talking about "Gizmondo coming back." The story went from a vague November 2007 quote by ex-convict Carl Freer into a morning internet craze, all fueled by a flash animation in a domain registered through an anonymous service. A bit of fact checking, with the help of a few Swedish journalist friends and whois, reveals that the rumors of a Gizmondo reappearance may have been greatly exaggerated. Actually, there's probably enough material to completely smash them.

UK iPhone Launching with 1.1.2 Firmware, Jailbreak Broken

T3 got their hands on the new European iPhone, and to their delight (and dismay), the phone is pre-installed with firmware 1.1.2—which is newer than the 1.1.1 firmware we currently have in the States. Believe it or not, it's actually packing some new features. But before you ask, their early testing shows that current Jailbreak software is no longer functional. So that whole saga continues!

Rubik's Revolution: Crapping All Over 2 Classic Games

Imagine your two most beloved childhood games. Now imagine them mating and producing a deformed child. That is what the Rubik's Revolution is—the deformed love child of the classic Rubik's Cube and color/sound game, Simon. They took all of the puzzle out of the Rubik's Cube by not allowing the blocks to rotate. There are supposedly six different color and light games that the Rubik's Crapolution can play, but they are all pretty much the same thing: sound matching, color matching and pattern matching. Thanks for defecating all over my childhood, Rubik's Revolution. Jump to see a video of children, who obviously don't know any better, actually playing with the toy. More »

ClamperPod: When Crappy Gadgets Go...Crappier

Every once in a while, we get an absolutely terrible product tipped to us by a shady manufacturer...that isn't even new. If the invention itself didn't naturally border on parody, there are plenty of telltale signs. Notice the lazy yet cheesy slogan, "You can always find something to clamp to!" Notice the lazy yet clearly made-up testimonials, "This is a "James Bond" gadget, wow!" (That helpful nugget of wisdom is attributed to Mr. Mario.) More »
