Star Trek Communicator Replica Coming Soon, Sadly Doesn't Communicate

This "life-size" Star Trek Communicator is a dream for every budding Kirk out there, sounding like the real thing when you flip it open, and with nine different voice phrases from the TV series built in. So okay, you can't actually contact anyone with it, but who needs that when you can pretend with "Spock here, Captain" or speak to the Enterprise with "Bridge, this is the captain?" Just don't be wearing a red suit. Available in March for $29.99 [Geek Alerts]

Hasee's KHAN Series 15.4-inch Laptops

Kirk: Khan, you bloodsucker. You're gonna have to get your own Korean Hasee L230E/15.4 Laptop now, do you hear me? Do you?
Khan: Kirk. You're still alive, old friend.
Kirk: Still, "old friend." You've managed to see me in the 15.4-inch screen, but like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target.
Khan: Perhaps I no longer need to try, Admiral.
[beams the Genesis device away]
Kirk: Khan... Khan, you've got a Core Duo T2300, 512MB of DDR2 RAM, an 80GB STA hard disk, and a DVD burner, but you don't have me. You were going to kill me, Khan. You're gonna have to come down here. You're gonna have to come down here.
Khan: I've done far worse than kill you, Admiral. I've hurt you. And I wish to go on hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me, as you left her: with an ATI Radeon X1600, WLAN, DVI, DMB TV Tuner or an external Sony HDD, marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet, buried alive. Buried alive.
