Guy Uses Laser-Etch Machine to Tattoo Himself (Verdict: Flaming Nutcase)

Try looking through the gallery, and then watch the video of a skin-etch in action, and that should do the trick... More »

Pointui Skins Windows Mobile, Makes it Usable (Best WM Skin App Ever)


Pointui is an app that sits on top of Windows Mobile 5/6 in order to skin it into something actually usable. It's so awesome that I actually made a movie out of it, including Jesus-style subtitles, so that you guys can see just how awesome it is. (Have I said that it's awesome?) It fixes 50% of what's wrong with the surface of Windows Mobile right now, allowing you to get around the OS using finger swipes instead of a stylus. On your current hardware, no less. Who the fuck knew that Windows Mobile supported this?! More »

Hands-On Gallery: Colorware Makes Xbox 360 Elites Obsolete

If you're one of the few who wanted an Xbox 360 Elite more for the color than for the HDMI or the 120GB hard drive, then you're in luck. For around $99, you can get your own black (or blue or green or red or orange or whatever color you want) Xbox 360 that, in our opinion, looks even better than Microsoft's matte paint job. More »

Dragon Skin Bulletproof Vest Repels AK-47 Rounds

These bulletproof vests are the first to stop armor piercing rounds without using some bulky plate. They work better than traditional shit beat cops use because the fibers are woven tighter; and they're woven in a way that actually tightens up the weave upon impact by bullet or blade. They're soft enough to roll up into a ball, and are certified for dives, so they're appropriate for amphibious missions. It's what all the fashionable mercenaries are going to be wearing in 2007, trust us. Geek uses: Probably does not have a pocket for your gameboy, but will most likely stop shrapnel from exploding laptop batteries.–Brian Lam More »

USB Powered Microsope for looking at Skin?

If you ve ever met a doctor at a party and showed him your rash, you can now take that experience to a whole new dimension and email him pictures of that rash magnified 250x. Giving you all the features you've come to expect in a USB powered magnifier, the Skin Sensor switches between 50x and 250x magnification and comes with software that lets you note the part of the body the image was taken from. You can also save a gallery of images or use it as a web-cam because that s not at all gross. This is from the same catalog that gave you USB powered slippers, by the way. More »

Robots Get Skin, Souls, are Now Real Boys

University of Tokyo researchers have created a form of robot skin that reacts to touch and temperature and may, in the future, react to strain and light levels. The skin is pliable and can cover multiple robo-surfaces, leading to robots that can react to more than just visual stimuli, and, in the case of the Roomba, pounding into stuff. More »
