Thinking About Knife Storage? Use Your Head

Your friends will wonder in which direction your life philosophy has wandered when they see this hand-carved knife block, a prototype by Irene van Gestel of De Meubelmaat, a design group in the Netherlands. This gal must certainly possess a macabre sense of humor. Perhaps this knife caddie, chiseled out of a block of solid…

Levitating Functional Lightbulb? Wtf?

This is the truth. Another one of those MIT Ph.D. junkies has actually made this happen. I would try to explain how it works in my own way, but trying to figure out this jazz would probably make my brain turn to goo and drain out of my ears. Read it for yourself. Lightbulb uses…

USB Security Lock

I might just be too much of a pessimist (like most writers here at Gizmodo), but how in the hell is this thing supposed to function? It works in the same manner as any other traditional locks, but it plugs into a USB port rather than something secure. Plug it in and turn the device…

Is That a Keyboard in Your Pocket, or Are You Just Glad to See Me?

Until we can have screens that roll up and fit into our pockets, this smart fabric portable keyboard will have to do. Developed by Brit company Eleksen Ltd., it’s a 2.4-ounce Bluetooth keyboard made out of a special touch-sensitive cloth material that s water repellent—not that you would really be wanting to use it in…

Sega to Make Phones, Why Not?

Sega, makers of all things hedgehoggy, have decided to jump into the foreign cellphone market with a line of phones. Hell, everyone else is making a cell phone for the Asian market, so why not Sega? They have teamed up with NTT DoCoMo to release the SA800i. It is a clamshell phone that is the…

Pong Clock Pre-orders Begin!

Remember that oh-so-badass Pong Clock that was making its way throughout the Interweb a couple of months back? The good news: production has begun and pre-ordering has also started. The bad news: this is going to set you back well over $200 and won’t be shipping until February at earliest. What can we say? Being…

Gaming Mouse from Elecom

Another day, another company releasing a “gaming” mouse. The only thing “gaming” about this mouse is its ability to switch between 800dpi and 1600dpi on the fly. Other than that, it seems to only have two main buttons, which is very non-gamer friendly, and it is also shaped in a very non-gamerlike manner. Nice try,…

Brainwave Gear: Part Deux

Sexing up the video glasses category yesterday the only way they could (with a pic of a hot lady sporting them) was the DV920 from ICUITI. Now, we have the Neomind Glasses from Korean company Coregem, which use video and audio impulses to stimulate the brain—supposedly to help in learning and relaxing. These Trekkie-looking glasses…

Anti-Virus USB Drive: You Can Take it With You

Available in capacities from 128MB to 2GB, the IOCELL VaccineDrive’s antivirus software automatically checks with the mother ship for the latest virus definitions each time you plug it in.…

It comes in a metal case and with a handy belt clip—just for fun. For $210, you’ll also get Imation Security Manager encryption and synchronization back up software. Imation ships Toshiba s…

Vias New Chips: Way Cool, Quiet, Too

Keeping things cool and quiet, Via Technologies rolled out two new members of its Eden family of processors that can do their work without all that racket from a cooling fan. Called the Eden ULV (Ultra Low Voltage), not only are these 1.5GHz and 1GHz processors fanless, but they won’t suck the batteries on your…

Samsung’s Core Duo Pair

Samsung’s been a busy bee, and per usual, comes out with some good-looking equipment for us to ogle. The X60 and the R65 are both Core Duo notebooks with 15.4- and 15-inch displays respectively. Both come with T2300 Core Duo processors backed up with half a gig of RAM and 80GB hard drives and both…

Pantech Shiny White Music Phone Looks Kinda Familiar…

It just never stops, does it? Though not as blatant as the Dbtel M50 cellphone we showed you yesterday, this Pantech IM-U110 music phone does look quite like a certain MP3 player we all know and love. I will, however, give credit where credit is due and say that this Pantech beauty has some cool-ass…

It’s Not a Car But. ..

In the old days it was enough to have a Ferrari poster in your bedroom. But for today’s pubescent teens, it’s all about Ferrari branded gear like this FMP160 MP3 player. It’s put out by our favorite weirdo clock-maker Oregon Scientific. Can’t say there’s much here other than a red, rubberized case and Ferrari tag.…

Jumping Jack Flash Concept Watch

This looks like nothing more than a cheap and ugly piece of Klingon jewelry at first glance, but it is also a conceptual timepiece. It combines physical movement with a digital display, although it’s a bit hard to read through the design-speak on this one (and I would love a better picture, but the designers…

Anti-Malaria Watch

Forget all those bells and whistles you may want in a watch, there’s nothing quite like the “Malaria Monitor,” which promises to sound an alarm if it detects the malaria parasite in the wearer. Basically, instead of being able to go underwater or check your heart rate, this watch will prick your wrist four times…
