Sprint Mogul Software Update Gives Sprint Music Store Access

If you’ve recently upgraded to HTC’s Sprint Mogul, the fancy Windows Mobile 6 phone we looked at last month, you should head over to HTC to grab the latest update. Along with adding Sprint Music Store support, which lets you purchase songs over the air off of Sprint’s network, you also get the ability to…

Car Slippers Light Up the Bathroom Trail

We’ve seen flashlight slippers before, but were they in the shape of a car? Definitely not. These Illuminating Car speakers? Definitely shaped like cars. https://gizmodo.com/flashlight-slippers-220545 Not only do they have little light-up headlights that come on when you step in them, they’re “ultra-soft” and plush, which means they’ll be super comfortable on the cold floor…

The almost always fashionable David Beckham was caught using a cheap-o belt clip for his non-iPhone. For shame, Becks. For shame. [GeekSugar]

The word (acronym) DVR actually made it into the dictionary. It’s only Merriam-Webster though, the USA Today of dictionaries. [Merriam-Webster]

Wearable Pillow Makes You Look Like a Silly Nun

If you’re the type of person that goes about your day wishing you had a pillow with you at all times, this crazy Pillowig design is for you. It’s a pillow combined with a wig, and it’s designed by Joo Youn Paek, the craziest Korean woman since Kim Jung Il. She said when she performed…

Contest Update: Made in Eureka (iPhone and TiVo)

Thanks for all your entries in the Made in Eureka contests! Both the iPhone invention contest and the TiVo trivia contest had a lot of entries, and we’re going to sort through them all and announce a winner tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow! That’s Tuesday. While you’re waiting, we may suggest watching last Tuesday’s Eureka season premiere…

How to Comment: The New E3

E3’s finally over, and most people (where the hell is Ashcraft?) made it back to their respective homes safely. So what did we think of the new, more subdued format? Well, seeing as we got to see the old format a couple times—complete with booth babes, loud music, gigantic show floors and weird gadgets—we’re happy…

Vintage Transformers Shirts

We thought the new Transformers movie was fantastic, but if you’re one of those people who were totally offended at what Michael Bay did to your childhood, these vintage shirts give you the chance to wear your feelings on your sleeve. Well, more like your Optimus on your chest, but same deal. Pick one of…

Fake Foreskin Gadgets Create Real Foreskin Out of Other Skin

John Long, a man, really misses his foreskin. This is why Mr. Long bought the TLC Tugger, a lampshade-like device that’s made to pull a faux-foreskin out of shaft skin. You stick your member into the lampshade-like connector and tie the other end to your thigh, which then tugs on your shaft skin the entire…

Sizemodo: PSP vs. Slimmer PSP

What does 19% slimmer really look like? We compare the old PSP to the new PSP (slimmer) and say that 19% doesn’t really make all that big a difference. It’s definitely not all that much shorter (0.6mm shorter) and narrower (2.6mm narrower). So how much is 4.4 mm really? It’s 0.17 of an inch. Nothing…

Japanese Famicom (NES) Ads

After watching this collection of old Japanese Famicom ads from the ’80s, we can pretty much say there’s not all that much difference between these ads and the Wii ads of today. There’s definitely more of a focus on the games and accessories compared to the "what do people look like while playing them" ads…

Palm released a software update for the Treo 700w and 700wx. Grab them now and get some improved dial-up networking features (among other things). [Palm via Boy Genius]

Net Cowboy Webcam Illuminates the Goods

If there’s anything those amateur internet webcam video ladies need to improve their quality (besides, you know, exercising and eating right), it’s more light. This Net Cowboy from Digital Cowboy of Japan does the job seven times over. It may look like a USB missile launcher, but it’s actually a 1.3-megapixel webcam with seven LEDs…

Fossil Analog/Digital Goes Both Ways

This bi-chronical watch from Fossil has a hard time explaining exactly what it is it does to its parents thanks to its dual analog and digital face. The left side is analog, reading numbers in a vertical configuration, whereas the main chunk of the rest of the face has two hands and tells time in…

Gibbs Humdinga Destroys Land and Water

If the Gibbs Aquada BoatCar isn’t quite manly enough for you, Gibbs Technology’s newest vehicle should do the trick. It’s the Humdinga—presumably a Hummer and a dingy combined—which is the size of an SUV and has lights enough to match the toughest Transformer. The thing goes from 0-60 in 9.2 seconds on land (which isn’t…

Up Close With the Wii Fit

The Brians over at Kotaku got their horribly blistered feet all over the Wii Fit Balance Board and came out with the impression that yes, this is for exercise. After playing it, their legs definitely felt the burn, which reinforces the fact that it’s a “challenging” game made for exercise—instead of being an intuitive game…

Hands-on With the Darth Vader Star Wars PSP

Crecente got some hands on time with the Darth Vader PSP, and he says it’s definitely lighter, possibly firmer, and has a new UMD tray. The buttons and D-Pad were also tweaked and improved, which is one of the bigger complaints in the old design. [Kotaku] http://kotaku.com/gaming/hands-on/psp-star-wars-edition-278440.php

Peter Moore on the Limited Edition Halo 3 Xbox 360 Console

Remember that tepid reaction to the limited edition Halo 3 Xbox 360 announcement at Microsoft’s press conference on Tuesday? We had an interview with Peter Moore earlier today, and Moore blames the reaction on himself and his “showmanship” as a presenter. Moore also says he’s not worried about the reaction of the crowd, and will…
