Worst Gadget Ever on CNet: Xploder PS2 HDTV Player

It’s a slow news day, so I’ll share with you this review, which I believe is the worst gadget CNet has ever seen. John “The Sheriff” Falcone has seen a lot of crap in his day, but it wasn’t until last November that the copy for the Xploder PS2 HDTV Player article landed on his…

Golla Bags Really Are for the Ladies

After figuring out (through our super scientific poll) that the Philips 598 isn’t really for ladies, we’ve found something that is. These Golla Bags. Yes ladies, you can stick your cellphone, camera, or PDA inside and strut around anywhere like there’s music playing and you own the place. We think men would like this as…

Rich Guy Converts Indoor Pool to Home Theater

Robot Picks up the Dead or Dormant. Wait, Dormant??

Among the robots Japan’s been making to help their elderly population, this body remover is probably the scariest. Sure, the Gundam maid robot looks mean when serving you tea, but does it remove dead bodies? We don’t think so. https://gizmodo.com/japans-makes-maid-robot-that-surprisingly-looks-like-gu-240846 And seriously, does is their population really dying at such a rate that Japan needs…

GyroFloater Desk Toy Brings Levitation Where It’s Not Needed

SAT lesson of the day: The GyroFloater is to a top as smartphones are to the original Moto StarTAC. Using the principle of magnets (is this magnetic induction?), the top manages to spin and levitate itself in place thanks to the rather large magnet underneath. Grab one for your office and make wickedly fruity David…

Chrome Wii: My Eyes, Oh God My Eyes!

Apparently you aren’t a real Wii fan until you get some gaudy, terrible case for it to show your love. Sure, there have been some cool casemods for the Wii, but this is just terrible.

We couldn’t think of a better marriage between an elderly company providing something for the elderly than these digital to analog converters from RCA. If your grandma doesn’t care for replacing her 30-year-old analog set with something capable of receiving digital broadcasts, this DTA800 will be able to receive digital over-the-air (OTA) and translate it…

Despite presumably being born from a female, gadget designers still haven’t quite nailed down what it takes to make a cellphone “for women.” This Philips 598, for example, is supposedly made for the ladies, but it’s hard to say for sure. Among its ladyfeatures, there’s the diary and calendar (men don’t need to keep track…
