GPS Wrist Tracker Has GSM for Live Position Updates

In January we brought you some info on the SPOT GPS tracker that broadcasts live info on your whereabouts, and now just four months later there's this new wrist-mounted gizmo that does almost the same. The Wrist Tracker is actually a multifunction device that has a GSM unit built-in, alongside the GPS tracker and data-logger, and it can be configured to send your position data via SMS at set intervals, or tracked real-time by GPRS. There's a plain LCD screen which displays the usual GPS info, and though it's not overly attractive it doesn't appear massively chunky. Available recently, though there's no info on pricing.

GPS Tracker Defense Hides Your Global Position

In our Gizmodomobile (a sort of cross between the Batmobile, those cars from M.A.S.K. and every other awesometastic vehicle you've ever read about, dreamed about or just imagined), sometimes we need to disable all 238 installed GPS tracking devices to go off the grid (namely while we park for hours on end outside of Bill Gates' mansion). You know what would free up our hands for our thermal binoculars? This GPS Tracker Defense. More »

Bladerunner GPS Tracker Jacket Locates Kids, Replicants

We've heard of GPS trackers for kids before, but here's one that's ironically branded Bladerunner. It's sewn into a jacket to be worn by small children, and replicants if they're small enough. Whenever that rug rat ventures beyond a boundary that you set, the jacket texts you on your cellphone. Hey, this is like an Invisible Fence for dogs, except it's for humans. Oh yeah, and it doesn't shock the little tykes, either. More »

"Fat Guy Stuck in the Internet" Not Based on Your Life, Surprisingly


A new Adult Swim show entitled "Fat Guy Stuck on the Internet" is coming, and you should be excited about it. Featuring actual actors in front of a green screen, it's a step away from the standard, you know, animated fare on Cartoon Network's stoner block. However, the premise, that a "rock and roll computer programmer" gets stuck in the Internet, gets chased by a mustachioed bounty hunter named Chains, and completes a quest that references basically every sci-fi movie ever.

New Breed of Phones Carry Face Fetish

Looks like mom won't be the only person to appreciate our face. NTT DoCoMo has created a cell phone (P930i) with the ability to recognize your face and lock down should someone else try to use it. You'll need to store three or more snapshots of your mug on the phone before it can "recognize" you, but once it's set it'll prevent thieves from using your phone. The phone can also lock itself down if it gets separated from you in a bar or in a cab. It's only available in Japan, but if face-tracking is more your thing. . . More »
