Hi-Tech Shoes For Ladies Have Heel Height Extenders

Thankfully just a concept for now, the Goodie 2 Shoe is an idea in function, and definitely not in form. They're ugly, sure, but they have a neat trick: the heel is adjustable with magnets and hidden hinges, so a 1.5-inch heel suitable for work gets extended to a come-hither 3.5-inch for going out. Other parts can be customized, much like the latest Sidekick. Personally, we'd be confused if we saw an attractive lady in these shoes. It shows she's got a geek's mind, but also a geek's taste, which is not always what we're looking for. Still, we hope these appear on Lady Robocop in the 2010 remake. [Crave]

Latest by dangster: This is just silly. If you're going to wear shoes that look that stupid, you may as well wear Crocs or Uggs. Your feet will still look stupid, but at least they'll be more "comfortable" (as hordes of more »

An MP3 Player Only the World's Ugliest Dog Could Love

Leave it to obscure Chinese manufacturers to come up with the CJ7 Dog Doll MP3 Player—a device so hideous it looks as if it was spawned in the fires of hell. Outside of its appearance, the device features 1GB of flash memory, a built-in loudspeaker and a conveniently placed USB butt port. It will only set you back $18.67, but that is still a high price to pay for a device that will surely give you nightmares. [DealExtreme via anythingbutipod] More »

Latest by videoCWK: They also came up with this really damn annoying toy thing. It's supposed to look like a little girl and all it does when it's on is lie on it's belly with it's shins up in the air, sway them more »

Pyxis GPS Watch is Designed for Athletes, Not Aesthetes

The Pyxis GPS watch is a versatile gadget for exercise freaks — which also, judging by its looks, doubles as a blunt instrument that the CIA might use against their enemies when everything else has failed. With a gazillion functions, including time, speed, distance and even calorie consumption measurement, you can programme your goals into it, store lap exercises, and even keep your favorite routes on tap. Gallery and more on its other functions below. More »

Sony PSP, Rice Rocket-Style

Just when we thought the PSP couldn't get any uglier, this user installed fading LED lights onto the D-Pad, the face buttons, the shoulder buttons and even the UMD tray. All this needs is a slutty bikini model, some 10-inch subs, and some flame stickers and this would be right at home going 95 in a 25, running over old ladies. [Acid Mods via Kotaku]

Liquid Mirror for Lunar Telescope is Made of "Ugly Ions"

What you are looking at is a mirror made of ionic liquid, infrared-reflecting silver nanoparticles mixed with a "highly viscous salty liquid called imidazolium ethylsulphate" or Bob for his closest friends. It's going to be used for the Lunar Liquid Mirror Telescope, something that wasn't possible until now for several reasons. More »

A Mame Cabinet Abomination

Even though I have yet to construct my own mame cabinet, I like to consider myself an aficionado. Mame cabinets are a way to relive good memories full of classic gaming. One memory nobody wants to remember is marble shelf paper. I was pretty sure that this stuff was extinct, but some poor soul managed to find some and layer his mame cabinet in it. Maybe there isn t enough of an 80s crack fiend in me, but the faux marble has got to go. Along with this crap design, this guy placed way too many damn buttons on the mame cabinet. This isn t World of Warcraft where the entire keyboard is utilized; it is Bubble Bobble and Galaga. Check out more ugliness after the jump. More »

Latest by John Laur: I enjoyed this site (saw it several days ago) but I do think the guy is unduly harsh on complex control panel layouts and console-game theming. Granted, some of those are WAAAAY over the top, but complex layouts are not more »
