Crawling Zombie Vigorously Drags His Legless Carcass Into Your Heart

If you’re one of the hordes of the zombie-obsessed, you’re going to love The Crawling Zombie, a legless, lifeless and red-eyed oaf that chases you across the table as he cries out such pithy sayings as “Hey, slow down, would ya? I can only crawl so fast!” and “I can’t feel my legs,” and even…

The Loopty-Loopy-Loopita Takes Seating One Step Further

There are worse places to sit than the Loopty-Loopy-Loopita. A fabulously ker-screwy concept in on-floor seating, it has been designed by a chap called Victor Aleman, who probably got the idea when he dropped a large chunk of orange peel onto the floor and liked the way it fell. The best bit about this, though,…

Semk Cupcake Speakers Are Deliciously Kitsch

Yum Yum Yum. Semk’s cupcake speakers are a world away from your average girly gizmo. Normally, I would run a mile from this kind of ultra frou-frou, pastel twinkiness, but these little objects are somehow different. Maybe it’s because it looks like a cake and I LOVE CAKE. Of one thing, however, I am sure.…

AppleStore Is Down for Some Summer Lovin’ (Not Really)

Yes, it just went down for an update again but don’t count on anything huge. Not even slightly updated iMacs or Macbooks with new Intel processors, because the store is only being updated in the US. Could this been a US-only iPhone-related product? Your guess after the jump. UPDATE: Canada is also down, so I…

M&M-like Headphones Invite People to Lick Your Ears

Elecom is releasing their chocolate candy-themed $20 in-ear earphones, following on their rosebud-shaped earphones. For some reason, I find these 20Hz~20kHz, 10mW colorful pieces quite attractive, but if you are expecting swedish goddesses to come on the street and lick your ears to see if you are really stupid enough to put M&Ms in them,…

Bubble Wrap Curtains (Verdict: Ghetto Classy)

If you’re looking for a cheap but aesthetically pleasing and environmentally conscious way to both tantalize your neighbors and keep them from peeping all the goods, we can’t think of a better way than bubble wrap curtains.

Pro-Zune iPod Haters Respond To Hide-A-Pod With Their Own Fake Product

Some people see the Hide-A-Pod fake Zune case for iPods—a totally fictitious product—and chuckle to themselves. A pocketful of Zune fanatics saw it and decided to invent their own fake rebuttal product, which they also called Hide-A-Pod. While the pro-iPod Hide-A-Pod is a protective shell, the anti-iPod pro-Zune Hide-A-Pod is a colorful gel. The gist…

Real Transformers Exist! And Yes, It’s From Japan

Remember that moment in the Transformers movie when the kid says that super advanced robots (the Transformers) must be from Japan? He was right. This robot, from what seems to be a Japanese robot competition/show earlier this year, actually transforms from car mode into robot mode. It’s tiny, but there’s nothing—except possibly funding and the…

Lego Aircraft Carrier Has Small Gravitational Pull

Ever wonder what happens to all those Lego pieces you lose? I think they end up in the hands of Malle Hawking, the man responsible for building an absolutely enormous Lego aircraft carrier.
