Zink's inkless pocket photo printers aren't new tech, but before Dell's Wasabi rendition, they were drag, ugly boxes, not deliberately designed modernist rectangles. They're $100 at the moment, though standard price will be $149. [Dell]

Although coloring a gadget Wasabi Green is pretty much down there on the color list between Diarrhea Brown and Infected Pus Yellow, HTC's actually managed to pull it off with their Windows Mobile 6 touchphone. Hit the gallery to see more shots, and hit this link to see our review. – Jason Chen

Japanese Extreme Wake Up Service Vacuums Your Face, Shoves Wasabi Up Your Nose

Brian Lam — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 23:19:17 EST

Sleepy heads in japan can pay a few bucks to have this extreme morning wake up service get their morning started faster than you can say mcdonaldscoffeeburningmycrotch.

For about 8 bucks an attendant will vacuum your face, for 4 bucks, they'll shove wasabi in your nose, and for 15 bucks they'll drip wax on your nipples. Cool, but in America, we can pay $100 bucks to be woken by a girl who pops out of a cake and gives lapdances.

Anyhow, here's a video of a guy being vacuumed til he's up. Man does he look annoyed.

Cake smash!

Dumping goo on his face. Not man-goo.

Making shaved ice on his head.
