Mirrored LCD Radiator

It’s not often you get something that’s both functional and decorative, but Tubor’s One-Radiator mirrors are that and more. These radiators have a nice purple or yellow halo backlight, plus they even display the current time. With winter setting and Gizmodo editors scrambling to save our remaining eight toes, all we can think about is…

Pupa Fur Lamp: Heavy Petting Turns it On

Cheap headline jokes, ahoy! This fur lined lamp doesn’t have an on/off switch. You have to stroke its hairy insides to get it to luminate. Frankly, it reminds me of that big red monster that Bugs Bunny gave a haircut to. I know, I’m weird. Pupa is fiberglass with two 15 watt florescent bulbs. Pupa…

Simmons Blows a Steamer on Letterman

Could this steamer that Richard Simmons is demonstrating be made by Sony? Watch Letterman nod to the pyrotechnics experts off camera just before the highjinks ensue, and then you can marvel at the acting ability of Richard Simmons, whose only emotion seems to be a combination of fey astonishment and mock outrage. Good thing real…

USB Keyboard Vacuum Sucks, More or Less

That USB vacuum we showed you last August pretty much sucked—in other words, one of our many astute commenters said it didn’t suck enough, and couldn’t pick up hardly any of those crumbs and various pieces of detritus and ejecta populating the area in and around his keyboard. https://gizmodo.com/usb-vacuum-with-retractable-cable-sucks-your-germs-away-197419 That USB vac was a $14…

DraganFlyer Four-Rotor R/C Helicopter Puts All Others to Shame

With our current fascination with helicopters, we would be remiss not to mention the DraganFlyer Industrial Electric Gyro Stabilized RC Helicopter that’s been around for a while, a $5000 flyer with four rotors and an electronically stabilized mechanism that makes it sturdy enough for video surveillance work. Use your imagination here. https://gizmodo.com/micro-copter-takes-to-the-sky-218437 Never mind those…

Monsoon HAVA Reviewed: Not a Slingbox Killer

Monsoon’s HAVA video streamer managed to create a nice buzz when it was first announced at CES, thanks in part to its built-in wireless and ability to support muticasting (two features its main competitor, Slingbox, doesn’t support). But now that the device is shipping and the smoke has cleared, it seems Slingbox has nothing to…

Micro Copter Takes to the Sky

We like putting our gadgets through torture tests and what better way to test something out than the grimey, concrete streets of New York. We took our mini chopper for a joyride to see how it’d perform outdoors. The chopper not only impressed us, but it got the attention of pretty much every passerby. Moving…
