Rideable Train Set Will End Your Fairy Tale Christmas
Let me tell you a story about a boy named Timmy. Born to a poor servant woman out of wedlock, Timmy was abandoned at a young age on the steps of a church, his mother hoping he could find a life better than she could provide. He did not. Instead Timmy spent his youth traveling town to town, shining shoes, cutting wood, doing pretty much any labor necessary to afford one meal a day. His life was hard and often felt meaningless. No one loved him, he thought. And unfortunately, he was right. Years passed in this way, until one Christmas morning... More » -

Furutech Thinks You are Stupid Enough to Buy an $1800 Power Cable
You may recognize Furutech as the premier purveyors of all things strange and overpriced. They have a rep to maintain—which is why they are attempting to sell what may be "the Most Sophisticated Power Cord and Connectors in the World" for an absurd price of $1800. Thanks to their FI-50(R) IEC and FI-50M(R) Piezo Ceramic series connectors, that sum will buy you power so clean, it practically sparkles. You would think that no one would be crazy enough to drop this kind of coin on a cable—but that is where you would be wrong my friend. [Furutech via Boing Boing Gadgets] -

Freewheeler Speaker Can Be Rolled Around: Yeah, That Makes it Worth $21,000
The Freewheeler speaker features a frequency response of 52 - 21,000 Hz, a 112dB output, a built-in FM receiver, a battery life of 8 hours and a wireless range of 656 feet— but I'm having trouble figuring out what makes it worth $21,000. Is it the fact that it is roughly the size of a Mazda Miata tire (only thicker) and can be rolled around? Because I'll be dammed if I'm paying that much for something I have to push. Still, 8 morons spent $1000 bucks on that stupid iPhone app so there is no telling what people will drop big money on. More » -

Krell Papa Dock Combo Costs Four Grand, Makes Your 96kbps Tracks Sing
Audiophile megabrand Krell's Papa Dock (companion to the $1500 Kid Dock, which snaps into its new daddy) boosts the Kid's output to 150 watts, sports a gigantic power supply along with isolated stereo channels, and will set you back another $2500 on top. I would say our jury's still out on spending $4000 on serious audiophile gear to amplify a consumer-level source input, but this thing looks like it could take a bullet for you, if that's your thing. And as Adrian points out, naming your product after a brutal Haitian dictator is always a great way to stir up some interest. [Krell] -
