Wii Remote To Have Microphone, Do VoIP?

We love being able to chat online during Xbox 360 games, but that headset is a pain on our oversized noggins. Imagine our glee when we heard that Nintendo’s going to add a microphone to go along with the speaker in their Wii remote. What’s the logical extension of their sensuous tech-mating ritual? VoIP. And…

Another Leaked Sidekick 3 Picture

The excitement we feel every time we’re sent another leaked Sidekick 3 photo is just as intense as seeing our mailboxes full of pictures from the girl from Canada we met at camp that summer after 8th grade. And just like with Clarissa, we can’t wait to get our grubby little hands all over this…

Man Stuff – The Best of Uncrate

This week at Uncrate: We dream of mowing down some swimmers with a Gas-Powered Remote Controlled Speedboat, plan our replacement of Daniel Craig using the Two-Person 60 MPH Hovercraft, and get ready to spot some naked mermaids in Hammacher’s Transparent Canoe-Kayak.

Concept Sunshine Pillow Brightens Your Day

Here in the northeast the sun all but disappears during the wintertime, leaving kind-hearted citizens such as myself grasping at all sources of artificial light just to keep sane. If only this sunshine pillow were available sooner, those long winter doldrums wouldn’t have been so…dull. Designed for the Koizumi International Lighting Design Competition, this sunshine…

Nokia CK-20W Multimedia Car Kit

What can this do? More like what can’t this do! The CK-20W puts “communication, music, navigation and push-to-talk” into your hands—the same hands that should be on the steering wheel instead of diddling with this. No matter. A compatible phone with bluetooth A2DP can stream music to the device instead of playing on the phone’s…

Koyono BlackCoat: iPod Jacket

I have a lot of issues with iPod coats. What if you quit using iPods? Then you’re stuck with a coat with fast forward buttons and you look—and feel—like a douche when people try to pause you. The Koyono Black Coat line, which runs from $199 to $275, comes with a built-in iPod port with…

Boostaroo Revolution Hands-on

It’s kind of hard to warrant the purchase of strange, single-use devices like the Boostaroo Revolution. We like our toys to do all sorts of things. If it doesn’t play WMA, have built-in GPS, and vibrate, we don’t want it. That’s why the Boostaroo Revolution is so strange and so compelling. This stick-like amplifier/audio processor…

Blade Runner Gun on EBay

When you absolutely, positively have to kill every replicant in the room, you have Richard A. Coyle’s remarkable recreation of Deckard’s gun in Blade Runner.

LEGO Pinball Machine

LEGO-maniac Anders built this working pinball game out of LEGOs and pure iron will. It doesn’t just react to the ball hitting certain sensors—it even takes score and can keep a high-scorer’s list.

TiVo has created a “gurus” feature that allows people of importance, namely magazine editors, to suggest television shows for you to watch.

Hollywood Studios Looking to Stop Network DVR in its Tracks
