Iron Man Children's Costume Modded to Be Deadly-Cute
One very loving father spent two months tricking out a standard child's Iron Man costume with real tech for his 5-year-old son—not just a CO2 air compressor to fire missiles or repulsor waves, but a complete BeagleBoard computer running a makeshift JARVUS along with an Arduino board to handle all of the advanced suit functions. Sure, it's just a toy now, but give the father/son team a few years to see what the suit can really do. Here's a full rundown on the tech inside: More »

The Real Stars Of Our Favorite Movies: Gadgets and Cheeseburgers
We love high budget sci fi and action as much as anyone, but who really starred in Iron Man? Robert Downey Jr? Sure, he made an appearance. But so did his co-stars Apple, Dell and Burger King. The Dark Knight? Christian Bale peeked his head in, but so did Canon, Nokia and Bang & Olufsen. Antrepo Design Industry has gone through some of our favorite films and remade the movie posters with a bit more honesty and brand awareness.

Tony Stark's Boozing Ways, BD-Live Snafu Bring Down Paramount Servers
I would love to tell you this morning that the record breaking Iron Man Blu-ray release on October 1 was all puppies and rainbows, but that just isn't the case. And I can't lie to you, dear readers, at least not about Iron Man. The truth is, while the release made director Jon Favreau a happy man, it's done nothing but piss off consumers, thanks to huge BD-Live-related traffic jams the popular release created on Paramount's servers. Tony Stark, thy newest enemy and threat to the free world is BD-Live! More » -

Iron Man Outsells Every Blu-ray in Existence in Just Two Days
According to a casual announcement by John Favreau on the Howard Stern show, as of Thursday, Iron Man Blu-ray has outsold every other Blu-ray release to date. Without firm sales numbers, the accomplishment might not be saying much. Yet it's still a testament to how a major new release (which is verified awesome on 150 inches) can reinvigorate the Blu-ray platform. But Iron Man camp, you'd better watch your back. Because The Dark Knight is coming to whoop you up December 9th, bitches*! More » -

Guinness-Record Movie Marathon Starts Now, Ends When Everyone's Asleep
Today in a glass-walled room in New York's Time Square, Netflix gathered six of the world's brightest talents in the field of sitting on ass and watching movies. The goal was to break the current Guinness continuous-movie-watching world record of 120 hours 23 minutes. They can eat, drink and stretch as long as they don't take their eyes off the screen, and there's a 10-min potty break between features, but other than that, it's about staying alert. Make no mistake. In spite of their matching Netflix bowling jackets, this ain't no relay race. These people are out to crush each other—CRUSH!—by staring at a large plasma screen the longest.

Which of the EIGHT Versions of the Iron Man DVD Should You Buy?
Okay, so you don't have a Blu-ray player and you're not getting a new Dell. That still leaves you with eight—EIGHT—different versions of Iron Man to choose from, with everyone from Walmart to Borders hawking their own exclusive kit. Best Buy's might be the most exquisitely fanboy fapworthy,encasingwith the flick and a custom lithograth, plus a Mark III mini-bust made by Sideshow Collectibles. Here's a guide to the rest, which we've placed in order of awesomeness, if you need some help deciding. More » -

Japanese Iron Man Toy Has a Ridiculous Level of Detail
Some very talented individuals at the Japanese company Hot Toys have developed 1:6 scale Iron Man Mark I, II and III figures that feature an absolutely extraordinary level of detail. Seriously though—just look at Stark's face. Sure, he looks kind of Japanese, but I'll be dammed if that is not the best Robert Downey Jr. has ever looked in tiny plastic form. Details are scarce, but more info is expected to be released sometime "soon." I can't wait to find out how much I can't afford to buy this! More »

Ghostface Killah's Iron Man Cameo Finally Sees the Light Of Day
When Ghostface Killah aka Pretty Toney aka Tony Starks popped up on IMDB with a cameo in Iron Man as an arms dealer in Dubai, we rejoiced. When we saw the movie and realized there was no Ghost, we were saddened. But now here he is, all 10 seconds of him (skip to the halfway point). He's around just long enough to maybe fake some kind of accent and hand off some flygirls, but now we can finally rest having seen Ghost in Iron Man. Stick around til the end for, well, just stick around for the end. [Access Hollywood via NYMag]

Rocket Iron Man Goes as High as a Kite

DIY Iron Man Suit Is Beer Belly Ready, Wrong
We have covered quite a bit of DIY Iron Man components—including arc reactors, masks and repulsors—but never an entire DIY suit (unless you count Tony Stark minifigs). Thankfully, we only had to wait to this year's Comic-Con for it. I was going to headline this "Iron Man: the Retirement Years," but I'm sure you will come with better options in the comments. Updated: if you thought this was horrible, nothing—and I say nothing—will ever prepare you for the worst nightmare Comic-Con 08 had to offer (Warning: Not Safe for Lunch.) More »

DIY Iron Man Repulsor Light Won't Repulse Anybody, May Dazzle 'Em
DIY gadgeteer Carlos at Carlito's Contraptions and Tony Stark have at least one thing in common: they like to tinker with homemade gizmos and strap 'em onto their bodies. Sadly Carlos didn't have access to Tony's array of sci-fi gadget impossibilities, but that didn't stop him from producing this palm-mounted ultra-bright LED flashlight in a sturdy aluminum frame that's activated with a cocked wrist.

DIY Iron Man Arc Reactor Doesn't Run on Martinis
No wonder Tony Stark managed to do an arc reactor in a desert cave. According to this tutorial, you really only need some LEDs, a 9-volt battery, plywood, 22 AWG gauge copper wire, assorted resistors, and a substance called polymorph—which can be made into any shape—to create your very own virtually-unlimited power source.

New Raytheon XOS Exoskeleton Video Shows How Easy Iron Man's Exercise Routine Is
The Sarcos-Raytheon joint effort Exoskeleton has been around for a while, but the companies are trotting it out in honor of the Iron Man movie. This XOS seems really agile and powerful at the same time, but those hooks-for-hands really might be dangerous if you forget you have them on. But as you can see when their own roboman lifts those 200 pounds with barely any effort, it's really really useful. If they can kinda enclose up this suit so the whole thing is bulletproof, flameproof and Iron Monger-proof, we'd be first in line. [Raytheon]

Iron Man Review (Verdict: 126 Minutes of Gadget Porn)
The Iron Man flick pressed my buttons from start to finish. Specifically, that little gadget nerd button over my heart, right where Tony Stark's arc reactor plugs in. On one hand, Stark's legendary womanizing, alcoholism and vanity are way underdeveloped. (Disappointingly, Downy Jr. looks too sober.) But if you're at all interested in the future of exoskeletons, holographic 3D CAD, advanced heads-up displays and stuff blowing up under the recoil-free power of repulsor beams, you're going to want to see this movie, well, just to see it.

Iron Man to Be Released Today at 8PM
In case you didn't know, Iron Man—probably the most gadgety movie ever this side of James Bond—is arriving in theaters today, May 1st, at 8PM. Not tomorrow at 12AM, but this evening. Yesterday, all our West Coast editors had the opportunity to see it at the TechCrunch screening. I caught Jason just before he went to sleep in his crotchless pajamas, and I asked him if it was truly pantsworthy, like we predicted after the trailer. He said "yes, better than Spiderman and X-Men." Oh boy. [Superhero Hype—Thanks Lindsay]

Here's a trailer I haven't seen before of Tony Stark getting ready for a night on the town. No Tux, but the Mark III suit.

Iron Man Mark 1 PC Case Mod: What Would Tony Stark Think?
Like most nerds, I am in full Iron Man mode as the movie release date draws closer. So, I couldn't help but get excited after hearing about a PC case mod based on Tony Stark's Mark 1 Iron Man suit. Is it the best case mod I have ever seen? No, not really. In fact, I would have expected a little more from the dude who brought us the Team Fortress II sentry gun mod. Still, I appreciate the hand-crafted look and the 2x BFG 9800GX2 Quad Sli under the hood. At the very least, it is pretty damn cool for a three- week build. Check out the video after the jump. More »

Technics vs. Marvel Shirts Are Perhaps the Most Incredible Shirts Ever
Even though our (pretend) DJ days were over back in college, we still have a fond spot in our hearts for Technics and their beautiful equipment. The Technics 1200s are legendary DJ gadgets after all, so when we saw that the company actually issued a series of shirts featuring Marvel characters behind the decks, our various body parts exploded. It's hard to tell which one is the best, but we're going to go with either Iron Man or Captain America, though the Captain Britain vs. Captain America one has its charms as well. If they weren't $50 each, we'd stock up on one apiece. [DMCWorld via Audio Junkies] More »
