eBay Deal of the Day: Vampire Killing Kit

I would like to posit the following hypothesis: It is possible to multiply eBay posting length to the ratio of capital letters to lowercase letters in the post and thereby measure the relative strangeness of said poster. For example, this post is entirely in capital letters and goes on for pages. Based on our hypothesis,…

Pachi-Slot Controller – PachinkoStation 2

I’m not going to comment on the obsessiveness this controller exhibits or the unnerving feeling I get when I know that this has been mass-produced and will be an extremely popular PS2 controller in Japan. But both of those things are true. This is a Pachinko controller for the PS2 and can also be played…

New Apple iBooks and Minis- Ehhh

I was kind of dreading writing about these new iBooks. It’s not like they are any great shakes. It’s a pair of G4 notebooks starting at $999 for a 12-inch model with 1.3-GHz processor and 512MB memory. Both of these, the 12-inch and the 14-inch, include Tiger, iLife ’05, Bluetooth, and an Airport Extreme card.…

Samsung i730 Reviewed (Verdict: Everything In Its Right Place)

At the risk of turning this into Mobile Phone morning, I’m going to talk a bit about the i730. This phone seems to have its head on straight. It’s got everything: WiFi, Bluetooth, QWERTY keyboard, and nice styling. Unfortunately, there is no camera, and that might be the oversight that buries this phone everywhere except…

Flame King Propane Tank Indicator

My favorite activity during the summer heat is to go outside and create more heat and sit around in it. Yes you grill jockeys, I m calling you out. I want you to help keep the neighborhood from blowing up and be the most efficient griller you can with the Flame King. This dongle attaches…

LG LP3900 Dual-Slider Phone

LG and innovativeosity go hand-in-hand. The new LP3900 phone actually slides both ways for extra fun. Sliding the LCD down unveils a 1.3 megapixel camera facing the wrong direction, while sliding it up gives access to the extremely small number pad for those few people who actually use a phone for calling. There’s also a…

Amp’d Mobile Pushes One Out

Amp’d Mobile [WARNING: Hella Flash], the only mobile carrier that uses Shakespearean contractions, is aimed at the children. Those crazy kids love their cell phones, you betcha, so Amp’d is going to give them a nice slider Kyocera slider phone called the Jet. I saw the UI and some of Amp’d’s—man, that’s an awkward construction……

Motorola Q Launched, But You Can’t Have It

The Motorola Q, named after the affable yet superintelligently dangerous villain on Star Trek: The Force Is With You, will appear on store shelves in 6-9 months reminding us that, like the common house shrew and the human female, electronics have a lengthy gestation period. The Q, which is known in some circles as the…

LFinesse Personal Pond Office Desk

I would describe this desk as being far from functional as possible. This desk was created by Ecco Design and right now is being used as “inspiration” to Lexus designers. It also plays soothing music to go along with ambient colored lights all of which controlled by awkwardly placed motion sensor balls. Save it for…

Gizmodo Japan: Digital Cowboy HDD Media Player

This may look like a typical external hard drive, but it would be foolish trusting appearances when dealing with a name like “Movie Cowboy.” What lies underneath the unassuming facade, is a self-contained media player that not only reads from a hard-drive of your choice (not-included), but will also let you browse and play media…

Moshi iPod iPouch

I’m sorry, but is it just me or is this iPod sporting a real pair. Say what you want about unsexy iPod gloss white, but when an iPod Photo gets perky like this I’m just in awe. This is the Moshi iPouch which is designed to clean your iPod and, apparently, give it headlights. It’s…

Who Likes a Babyplane? Yes you do!

No, it’s not a mini Cessna for little Polly to fly side-by-side with you but a set of wings that attaches to a spoon. While it does nothing for your children’s budding imagination, the ham-fisted obviousness of the image allows parents to think about more important things—mortgages, work, a sense of crushing defeat—instead of having…

Laser Sighted Pencil Launcher

This is SO COOL. It’s a DIY laser-sighted pencil launcher that can kill you or—worse—shoot through a can. All you need is a laser pointer, some rubber bands, some clips, and some other junk. Called the Super Mauly, it can be found on a site dedicated to the construction and testing of office-based projectiles. Imagine…

Martini Shaker MP3 Player

This odd martini shaker MP3 player appears to be called the bullet and has removable USB flash memory. I’ve been staring at this for a while and I can’t figure out any of the other features except for some sort of FM transmitting stand and some flashy lights. Can anyone out there shed some light…

Tamagotchi Returns Strong

Easily the worst fad of the 90 s was the Tamagotchi. These little devices managed to annoy every single person on the planet except for the 8-14 age group and they have returned to do the same to a new generation. Over six million foreign units have been shipped already, meaning Tamagotchi Fever sung by…

iOps JOCK Mini-PMP

The iOps JOCK is awfully small and plays WMV files as well as MP3, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, MPEG4, WMV and DivX. It can even play back video on its tiny color 96 x 64 pixel LCD screen, but think about it: 96 x 64 is really small. At that resolution, someone’s head will look like…

It’s Not a Podcast. It’s a BLOGCast

This came out last week but warrants mention. Apparently in the halls of Redmond it is forbidden to speak the word “podcast.” It is, in fact, a “blogcast” and this “pod” thing is just clouding the issue. I mean the iPod and iTunes are not the only media combo out there. They’re just the best…

Sony CFD-E100TV Boombox

Now this is cute. It’s a nice little Sony tote with a CD player and a tape deck on the back. There’s a cute little remote control and it’s white and pink or white and blue. Not very high tech, but it’s so nice to see a Japanese device aimed at the gentler set without…
