Gizmodo Party Crash: MC Frontalot @ The Slipper Room

Gizmodo actually crawled out of our basements last night to venture into the harsh lights of the Lower East Side (or that’s where we think we were—the signs declared it the ‘Bargain District’) to The Slipper Room, where nerdcore progenitor MC Frontalot—the only MC we know to rap about both Nigerian email scammers and why…

First Windows Mobile 5.0 Phones: HTC Universal and Samsung SGH-i300

Is it just me, or is Mr. Gates looking really menacing these days? I never thought I’d see him look hard. Also, is it just me or are both of the first Windows Mobile 5.0 phones really, really lust-worthy? My lust for the HTC Universal is well documented, as it contains not only all the…

Duds4Dads Baby Bandolier

Scott Clevenger writes: I read a message on the 43folders google discussion thread about a user asking for tech bandoliers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandolier). Someone pointed the user to Duds4Days.com which markets a Baby Bandolier. After laughing for way too long I realized that dads typically don’t have a cool looking diaper bag. You’re usually forced to carry…

Olympus Stylus 800: 8 Megapixel Pocket Cam

Olympus has taken the wraps off its latest camera, the Stylus 800 (or Mju 800, depending on what market you’re in). Its big trick is an eight-megapixel sensor inside a regular point-and-shoot body, as well as a 3x optical zoom. We don’t know if that’s really going to improve anything in a noticable way, but…

Xenofreaks PIX sports Reviewed (Verdict: Sexy Chic)

The PIX sports LED light can function as a watch, timer, stopwatch, pattern maker, counter and messenger. Ken Wold reviews his XenoFreaks PIX sports and calls it “chic, hip, niche, cool, rad, and so uptown.” Just a simple array of LEDs in a small, wearable form factor, the PIX multi-functional sports light sits in a…

Tooth Masseuse

For only $40, you can own your very own Tooth Masseuse. Designed primarily to ease pain from generic orthodontia adjustments and treatments, the Tooth Masseuse is simple to use and apparently quite effective. (Apparent, of course, in their ad copy.) They’ve been around for awhile, but it’s nice to know of a battery-operated device that…

LCD Prices To Remain Sky High?

Those of you hoping that the prices of LCD displays would perhaps drop into something less than the near panic attack-inducing levels they’re at presently should prepare for some disappointment. A report on ExtremeTech states that, despite a worldwide supply of 193 million units and a demand of 184 million units, the overall price points…

Tunneling Shirt Pocket

Yoshimura’s new shirt should be granted the privilege to fully bask in the glory it so deserves. The idea is that you can drop your cell into your breast pocket and retrieve it from the opening below, transforming you from a simple magician instead into a poorly-dressed, simple magician. With prices around $30, (3,200 yen)…

Dyson DC-15 Ball Reviewed (Verdict: Strongly Recommended)

Apartment Therapy had a chance to test “The Ball”—the Dyson DC15 vacuum we first mentioned in March. They have nothing but rave reviews for it, but it should be noted that they only spent an afternoon with it. Still, they say they’ve “never had so much fun using a vacuum.” The unit features a strong…

Lego Harpsichord

Henry Lim struck out to design and build what could arguably deemed the pinnacle of Lego structure—a working Harpsichord. With the exception of its wire strings, the Harpsi is built entirely out of Lego. The 100,000 piece instrument would likely have one of the largest manuals of tiny, annoyingly difficult-to-understand isometric diagrams to date, but…

LCD Display With Six Color Backlight

Mitsubishi has shown off their newest addition to LCD technology with an LCD that features a six color backlight. The backlight allows for much higher color accuracy and much better color reproduction, as you would be able to tell from the picture if you weren’t using a lesser LCD yourself. The prototype was a 23-inch…

Nooka Zoo & Zot Watches

While its name is regrettably misleading, (I expected pandas.) the Nooka Zoo Watch features a mainstay in computing that I’m rather surprised has taken so long to get into a watch: the progress bar. The 59-increment horizontal bar displays the current minute and the seconds gracefully appear in a smaller LCD window. Also by Nooka,…

Fujitsu Vein Reader Installed

Fujitsu has announced that the University of Tokyo Hospital’s room access security system will now use their contactless palm vein authentication technology. Palm veins are unique amongst individuals, and with the exception of size, don’t change at all over one’s lifetime.

Nintendo Revolution: Mid-2006 Release

MoSys, the same memory supplier who provided chips for the GameCube (and maybe even the Nintendo 64, if memory serves), has perhaps inadvertently let slip that we should expect Nintendo’s next-generation console, the ‘Revolution,’ [seen here in unlikely speculative mockup] to ship in “mid-2006.” That should put it right on schedule to match the Playstation…
