Paul Knight uses this weird machine to change the appearance of iPhones and iPods into spy plane black titanium nitride-coated machines, which are quite more beautiful than the originals. It uses "plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition" to modify the nature of the surfaces, a complex chemical process used to coat objects like luxury watches, drill bits or aircraft blades. The finished gadgets are simply stunning.

The Good: The Hava Titanum HD has component HD support and Wi-Fi via USB dongle out of the box (a must for my Home Theater Setup, where the router is in another room). As a point of comparison, the Sling Pro requires a $50 attachment for HD support and can only communicate wirelessly via power lines. The Hava also allows you to pause, rewind and fast forward, record to your hard disk and burn your recordings to DVD. Video playback is generally smooth and uninterrupted. It supports simultaneous viewing from local (unlimited viewers) and and remote (single viewer) connections. Future expansion possibilities include hard drives and digital tuners.

We told you about Vertu's Ascent Ti a few months ago when it was found in an FCC filing. Well, it's been a couple of months and the Ascent Ti is finally being released along with official details. So what does $6,628 get you? For starters, a quad-band GSM phone with 3G and a 3MP camera.

TiFinity Titanium Toothbrush: Like a Metal Scouring Pad for Your Teeth
If you're one of those do-gooders who follows your dentist's every whim, changing out your toothbrush every two months, then the TiFinity titanium toothbrush might be for you. Its inventor says it lasts ten times longer than ordinary toothbrushes, and keeps all those deadly bacteria at bay, too. But who wants to brush their teeth with metal bristles? Well, these titanium alloy bristles have supposedly "amazing properties."These super elastic memory filaments of the bristle material constantly rebound instantly during brushing allowing for better penetration of the bristles in to the hard to reach areas between teeth and under gums!Right when we first saw it, we assumed this must be some sort of status item. The big question is, how much does it cost? Take a look at this larger picture of the toothbrush, and find out:

USB Drive Urine Test
After a night of drunken shenanigans some friends and I made our way back to my apartment. One particular dude decided to sleep over on the floor because he was in no condition to drive. Well sometime from when we went to sleep at 3 a.m. and when I woke up at 8 a.m. this friend managed to urinate all over my coffee table. One of the items that was urinated on was my beloved 2GB SanDisk Cruzer Titanium. Jump to see if it survived. More »

The guys over at Everything USB have given the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium a true test. Sure, speed and performance tests are nice, but a bit too geeky for my tastes. They placed this USB flash drive on the ground and ran it over with a car. It has titanium casing and a retractable USB connector so a durability test is really the only test that matters. Check out the video—even though it's a bit lengthy—for the results. More »

DirecTV Launches Uber Service Plan
No, this isn't just every tier and every movie channel. This is the whole enchilada and the Mexican tango band to go along with it. You get every regular channel, movie channel, pay-per-view event, sporting event, adult channel, HDTV channel, up to 10 DVR receivers and a 24/7 concierge service. Unfortunately this service is only limited to a select few, but that doesn't matter because nobody is going to pay $7,500 a year for this crap. The service will be available next week and the single-button remote is probably not included. More »

Essentials: Snowpeak Titanium Spork
Now that the zombie apocalypse is upon us, durability counts. The fuel-efficient hybrid that once seemed so green-friendly now seems like a poor substitute to an SUV with a snow plow attached as you try to crash your way through freeways pulsating with the rotting dead. And you've only got to see the flabby belly of a friend torn apart like lumps of play dough to start wishing you'd spent more time on your abs. What with the imminent global collapse of industry and all, you've really got to make your next few purchases count. More »
