BenQ’s gear is usually pretty standard stuff, but the new T850 is pushing the envelope a bit. Claiming to be the world’s thinnest 8MP camera at 14.9 millimeters thin, it also manages to squeeze in a large 3-inch LCD display. But the neatest part is that after you take shots with up to 3X zoom…
The PSP controls are not horrible—though that analog nub leaves something to be desired—but the DualShock is a far more comfortable controller. Now the fine citizens at AcidMods have hacked the PSP hardware to work with the DualShock. Requiring no changes to the firmware, all functions but the brightness and volume are mapped to the…
At this very moment, I’m surely doing permanent damage to my spine by typing away on my laptop while slouching upon my particularly broken-in couch. If only I had this Surf Chair, my future trips to the supermarket and social gatherings wouldn’t be inhibited by the necessity of walking on all four appendages. Seemingly ergonomic,…

There’s some pretty heavy rumorage that Sony’s next PS3 firmware update, 2.4, will bring long-awaited in-game XMB. (That just means players will be able to load the menu system without closing their game.) In addition, we’re supposed to see trophies (ala Xbox Achievements) supported as well. There’s a lot of buzz around the rumor with…
Some of our readers pointed out that the new Asus Eee Box resembled a Nintendo Wii. And while that may be true, Asus has just debuted something straight out of Nintendo’s handbook: a “Wiimote” for the PC. https://gizmodo.com/first-details-on-the-asus-eee-box-393892 Spotted at a trade show in Taipei, the controller looks like a pair of wireless nunchuks, It’s…
Aside from the obvious 3G iPhone rumor floating around this year’s WWDC, the other, quieter rumor has been that Apple will be revamping .Mac in a major way. Now one code enthusiast thinks he’s found some evidence in a pile of 10.5.3 strings that points to a name change (which we think points to a…
While it’s possible to install standalone solid state hard drives into most any laptop, it’s always nice to see services selling preconfigured packages. Right now a company named ExperCom is offering both MacBooks and MacBook Pros with SSDs installed out of the box. And their prices are actually pretty reasonable. While a new 15″ MacBook…
Our friends over the pond know it as the PC Engine. Most Americans know it as that console that played Bonk. Now it’s on the iPhone through emulator support. An iPhone version of the classic emulator Temper, temper4iphone looks like it’s running pretty smoothly on Apple’s mobile in this video. But you know the drill;…
Charcoal grilling undoubtedly tastes better than gas, but coals can be a pain. This Baja BBQ is a solution to the more lazy among us who’d rather not deal with coal chimneys and lighter fluid. Constructed of 100% recycled biodegradable paper pulp, the Baja’s 2 pounds of coals will be perfectly hot after 20 minutes…
My wife always hated my DVD collection. A testament to my bachelorhood prominently sitting on a set of shelves in our living room, she would glance over at it like an unwanted dinner guest who had long finished desserts and was now lighting up a cigar in our living room. Drunk. She’d been warming me…
Ring ring. “Hello?” “Hi.” “Who is this?” “Glovephone.” The Glovephone is sadly just a concept. Connecting via Bluetooth to your handset, the Glovephone is meant for extreme weather conditions and rescue workers. There’s even an emergency button for if you find yourself injured with limited mobility. We just love the clever placement of the speaker…
In 2010, a few lucky office workers in Mumbai, India, will see a major upgrade from the common cubicle. Because the Cybertecture Egg is being constructed to be one of the most forward-thinking workplaces in the world. Its 13 floors are far lighter on columns that conventional buildings since the structure supported by its exterior.…
Asustek has dropped some details on that Eee Desktop PC EP20 we’ve seen floating around.

WARNING: by reading about the Cassette-Face Watch, you too could lose $70 (£35) into the void of online shopping. Constructed of stainless steel and featuring dual dials (one for hours, one for minutes), its faux hand-sketched labels make this accessory transcend normal watch for a moniker more like “really great watch that looks like a…
The offerings over at Zune Marketplace are about to see a nice little update as Microsoft adds 400 new episodes of various television shows. That’s not gigantic if you start analyzing shows by 24-episode seasons (and even less when you scale it to dailies like The Colbert Report), but if you were to scale that…
There’s a car that’s not slated for release until 2009 or 2010. It makes some wild claims. And no one in the media has driven it yet (since it’s still in production). But with those caveats in mind, continue on to drop your jaw at Hybrid Technologies‘ upcoming still-nameless supercar. Hybrid Technologies is working on…
While the do-everything touchscreen of the iPhone seemed like the perfect solution for game emulation, it’s tough to top real buttons when it comes to mashing away at Track & Field. So the iControlpad attaches to the iPhone and gives it a PSP makeover. The prototype (pictured here) was pieced together from the internals of…
Short of the airlock opening in the space station and sucking you out to die in a vacuum, what’s the worst thing that could happen during your visit to the International Space Station? If you guessed “the toilet breaking,” you’re the big winner! Because that’s exactly what happened this week. https://gizmodo.com/nasa-drops-19-million-on-toilet-doesnt-let-russians-u-275590 While the solid waste…
I can’t speak for you, dear reader, but I was once a Choose Your Own Adventure addict. While the other kids on the playground were dropping acid and huffing, I was flipping to page 67 with a finger firmly bookmarking page 15…just in case. The new Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay DVD will…
