Verilux Rise & Shine Alarm Lamp: Peaceful Wakeup

There’s nothing alarming at all about this alarm clock from Verilux, which not only gradually wakes you up with its lamp slowly fading up in the morning, it will do the opposite before you go to sleep, slowly fading out as you do. It has what the company calls a “full range speaker” that sneaks…

Best Beer Dispenser Ever

Even if you fill it up with that watery swill known as American beer, this Asahi beer dispensing machine spotted in Narita Airport in Japan can bring the sacred suds from keg to glass with flawless precision. It’s much better than the ponderous and goofy Asahi beer robot we were inexplicably raving about last month.…

Archos 504 PMP is Really Pretty, Slim and Available

In his demo video you’ll see after the jump, you’ll notice that this European dude has a lot to learn about video-making (this is a close-up medium, man!), but he does finally end up giving us some tight shots of the Archos 504 PMP’s 4.3-inch widescreen in action. Notice in the video how small the…

Transformer Chair Puts Megatron to Shame

We’ve seen some weird robots before, but this one hits an 8 on the freak factor scale. Created by Raffaello D’Andrea and Max Dean, the Transformer chair looks like your grandmother’s ordinary kitchen chair, but say the magic words and it collapses itself and then transforms itself back into a chair. Don’t believe us? Check…

GeForce 8800GTX Fondled by Random Man

Nvidia has been pretty tight-mouthed on details of their next-gen DirectX 10 card (DirectX 10 will be the graphics standard on Windows Vista), but now it seems someone’s gotten a hold of one of their yet to be released cards. It’s hard to tell whether the images are fake or not, but spec-wise the card…

EBGames Firing Employees for eBaying PS3/Wii?

It’s just a rumor for now, but it seems like EBGames/GameStop wants to stop a repeat of last year’s Xbox 360 eBay fiasco by cutting off employees who auction off their consoles. This scheme is going to be hard to police, but retailers will probably scan employees’ console serial numbers and compare it to serials…

Zebra MacBook: Sexy or Very Sexy?

A guy’s BlackBook keyboard broke, resulting in a trip to the Apple Store only to find out they only had white spares. The result: a half white, half black MacBook that actually looks sexier than the uni-colored originals. Is this a start of a new trend? Speaking for myself, definitely. Flickr [via Digg]

Sizemodo: PlayStation 3 vs. ColecoVision

Released in 1982, the ColecoVision was infamous for advertising games using doctored or artist renditions of screenshots designed to look like a completed game. Various other advertised games were never even released. Other problems: Coleco Industries tried to do too much and made a hardware expansion module (the Adam), turning the console into a full…
