Monster iFreePlay Headphones Turn 2G iPod Shuffle Into Headgear

Tired of all the pocket (or shirt, if you’re a tool) real estate your iPod shuffle takes up? Monster’s iFreePlay cordless headphones (which look extremely familiar) let you jack your shuffle directly into a side dock built into the left ear. https://gizmodo.com/mutant-ipod-nano-headphone-headphones-feh-236395 These arguably work better than their nano counterparts, though, since you can control…

Brando’s Balls Have USB Ports

Loath as we are to cover celebretard news – we leave that to our cousins on Gawker, Defamer and the brand new Jezebel – we feel we couldn’t NOT cover this one – it does, after all, have a tech twist to it.

Just like any…

Apple’s Grey Flannel Navigator (Part 1, 1988)

Enigma Ceiling Fan Circulates Air, Slices and Dices

Ceiling fans are usually staid and boring, despite their obvious pimp-out potential. Enter the Enigma Fan, with a single, swooping five-foot blade that looks like it could roll some serious heads. Besides its boomerang-esque blade, it comes with a halogen light, and can be controlled via remote. Totally worth $800 if you’ve got it to…

Dr. Pepper Pays Boy Band To Live, Perform In Bubble

The latest installment in the “if dumb people watch, it must be smart” genre—a category that brought us Big Brother, The Real World, Making The Band and David Blaine—is the descriptively named Band In A Bubble, airing tomorrow on MTV.

Hako Robo, Tiny Robots That Love and Hate Each Other

Look at that little Hako Robo family, tiny cube-shaped robots with pea brains that just love to be with each other—to a point. Gather them together and they react, following each other around, running away from each other, protecting each other and even getting on each other’s nerves if they’re together for too long. Hey,…
