New Sanyo Projector Works From Up Close

Projectors are great and all, but how annoying is it when someone comes in the room, walks behind you, and puts a shadow of their oblivious head across the screen? Making the image travel that far across the room leaves it susceptible to all sorts of jackassy interference. Sanyo’s new LP-XL50 projector solves that problem…

Morpho Tent Means You Can Leave the Tent Pegs at Home on Purpose

I have fond memories of Glastonbury 1997. Or was it 1998? Not surprisingly, I can’t remember much, apart from the mud. Oh, hold on, it’s all coming back to me now… Ah yes, Beck’s rhinestone Nudie Suit, queueing to file my copy from the only place with an ISDN line on the site (there is…

Take a Le Trip into Space – a Snip at $266,000

Lance Bass’s trip into space cost him around $20 million, but the European space agency EADS is offering people—and rich ones at that—the chance of a quick one-and-a-half hour blast into space. The trips, starting in 2012, will cost around 200,000 euros—and will give punters the thrill of experiencing three to five minutes of weightlessness…

R2-D2 Speakers Make the Bass be with You

These R2-D2 speakers aren’t shipping until December, but you don’t have to be Yoda to work out that they’ll sell out like gâteaux chauds once the galaxies and their girlfriends get to know about them. Sound quality isn’t great and the 4.7-inch droid connects via a 3.5-mm audio cable (USB connection is, as yet, unconfirmed).…

McFly 2015 Buttons and Stickers

The people over at McFly 2015 were kind enough to send me some stickers and buttons. For those unfamiliar with the campaign, McFly 2015 seeks to pressure Nike into producing the boots Michael J.

Over 800 HD Channels from Comcast by 2008, But Still Nothing Will Be On TV

Aiming to one-up (or rather, eight-up) DirecTV’s promise of 100 HD channels by year’s end, Comcast is boasting that it will have over 800 HD channels by the end of 2008. If, that is, you consider an endless run of CSI episodes and a perpetual loop of Ghost Rider to each be their own channels.…

The Projection Design Action! 25 is supposedly the world’s smallest 1080p projector, at “3.7 inches high, 9.2 inches deep and 10.8 inches wide.” Not bad for a full HD DLP rig.
