Pac-Man Hoodie Has Everything You Wanted Save 100% Natural Fibers

Nothing better in the run-up to Christmas to have a Jesus lookalike modelling a Pac-Man hoodie from Hot Topic. It's a steal at $45, but why is it only 80% cotton? Nylon just makes me come out in hives, guys. [Oh!Gizmo]

Life Saver Portable Water Filter Cleans the Crap Out of Your Water...Literally

The Life Saver water bottle is a military grade water sanitizer that can make the dirtiest of water drinkable in seconds.

The creator, Michael Pritchard, initially came up with the idea after watching victims of Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 tsunami in Asia go for days without receiving clean water. There are others, however, that are interested in Pritchard's invention. More »

Ghosts Chase Pac Man Across My Chest


Okay, short and sweet. Textile Interfaces designed the jacket, while the Lumalive light-up plate came courtesy of Philips. It's old promo-wear from Philips, but we got hold of one that plays Pac Man. On your chest &mdash well, mine, actually.

Hands-On and Slot Exploration with the Sexy Samsung Printers (Verdict: NeXT Flashback)

Last week we gave you the specs of Samsung's new Windows-, Linux- and Mac-compatible printers &mdash the ML-1630 is a monochrome laser printer, the SCX-4500 a 16 page-per-minute multi-function printer &mdash and yesterday we got to see them for ourselves. Glossy, smooth, they're the kind of printers that make you want to kick off your heels, sprawl on the top and start crooning "Makin' Whoopie." But first of all we wanted to know what the slot at the front of the ML-1630 was, so we beckoned over a Samsung gal... Updated after the jump

Audiophile Snake Oil

I've always loved high-end audio and I've never really known anyone who owns any. I've seen the $100,000 CD player and $30,000 turntable needles, but I thought they were designed for mad potentates waiting who drink the blood of young boys to stay supple.

Wrapping these cables on the thighs of Korean virgins? BoingBoing found a great site highlighting some of the best and most insane audiophile gear. Take those cables in the picture there.
