Fruit Powered Clock – It’s Alive!

The fruit clock is a digital clock/calendar powered by fruit. While emulating the original battery invented by Alessandro Volta over 200 years ago that utilized lemon juice, the creation of whole fruit in the mid-1900s has allowed the experiment to be perfected with artistic flare. The kit includes jumper wires, time display, rubber stop and…

Nintendo Wii Hands-On

Some of you may already know this, but I spent 2 days this week at Nintendo of America headquarters playing The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Nintendo Wii. I’d tried the system out at E3, but was only testing demos for a few minutes at a time. About 9 hours of actual playing…

Oxycyte: Superblood, Nothing To Do With Pimples

In our quest to replace all useless organic parts of our body with upgraded synthetics, we have come across a key ingredient: Oxycyte.

iVue: Clear iPod Case

The iVue from iPodMods is not a traditional case that wraps around your iPod, protecting its skin from the evils of keys in your pocket. Instead, the iVue is a complete front panel replacement, displaying the iNatomy for the world to see. Then tell your friends it’s a prototype or something. “Hey man, is that…

Street Muttz: Badass Toy Dogs (Many From Street)

A Street Mutt is like any other toy stray dog “hoping that you’ll give him a warm home and rescue him from the mean streets.” How is one rewarded for such toy philanthropy (other than a sure seat in toy K9 heaven)? Featuring motion sensing, the dogs will make sounds of panting/whimpering/growling as you approach.…

PS3 Debug: First Unboxing

Our friends over at Kotaku just landed their now sticky hands on a PS3 test unit and took photos. After promising to keep the pictures within the relationship “for those times when you’re away”, they immediately posted the photos with blatant disregard for PS3’s feelings. Well played. Hit the jump for a few stolen pics,…

Is 1080p Right for You? Help Needed Bonus!

A best friend of mine is purchasing a TV. He wants the best, and I want what’s best for him. I am not a huge fan of 1080p. I appreciate the added pixels, but hate the lack of a broadcast standard and the fact that it costs a lot more for theatre buffs on a…

Don’t Buy Red, Buy RED

From Reader Henry, regarding Other Red products: https://gizmodo.com/red-not-red-peripherals-212214 Jack Campbell of MacMice is a convicted felon. What’s even more suspicious is that the orphanage that this “Other Red” is supposedly donating to (ukundakids.com), just had their domain registered on October 25! This looks very suspicious to me, considering that the layout of the page looks…

100% of Cingular Polls are Flawed

Cingular recently claimed their studies show over half of all cellphone users want music on the go, which is their justification for launching a music service. What they sort of ignore in their poll results is that this “portable digital music” doesn’t need to come from a cellphone. Cingular just assumes that people will want…

Treeline Bike Lamps: Xtreme

The Treeline calls their bike lamps “functional art”. Built from chunks of the bike like the front suspension fork, these lamps will add a soft glow to your room while screaming guests, “I could kick your ass, and I’m just a lamp” – the tacit screams are the “functional” part. Good for those who lust…

HP Ink Costs More Than Human Blood, Booze

Gizmodo reader/potential vampire Shaun just popped this interesting graph in our email this morning, comparing the price of HP ink to other various fluids, some bodily in nature. He calculates that a $30 HP #45 black ink cartridge gives you 42ml, pricing out to $0.71/ml. Meanwhile, blood apparently costs $200 for 500ml from the Red…

Boy Genius seems to have some inside information—in the form of the actual device—that the Sidekick 3 will be coming in solid black soon. Supposedly not just a paint job, the black Sidekick 3 is black all over save for the 12 “phone” keys on the keyboard. Hit the jump to see what the phone…

Much better than a Zune suppository, this repository of Zune animation stems from their comingzune.com teaser site.

Most only have a…
