Street Muttz: Badass Toy Dogs (Many From Street)

A Street Mutt is like any other toy stray dog “hoping that you’ll give him a warm home and rescue him from the mean streets.” How is one rewarded for such toy philanthropy (other than a sure seat in toy K9 heaven)? Featuring motion sensing, the dogs will make sounds of panting/whimpering/growling as you approach.…

PS3 Debug: First Unboxing

Our friends over at Kotaku just landed their now sticky hands on a PS3 test unit and took photos. After promising to keep the pictures within the relationship “for those times when you’re away”, they immediately posted the photos with blatant disregard for PS3’s feelings. Well played. Hit the jump for a few stolen pics,…

Is 1080p Right for You? Help Needed Bonus!

A best friend of mine is purchasing a TV. He wants the best, and I want what’s best for him. I am not a huge fan of 1080p. I appreciate the added pixels, but hate the lack of a broadcast standard and the fact that it costs a lot more for theatre buffs on a…

Sign of the Apocalypse: TMX Elmo Shipment Hijacked

This TMX Elmo is one hot item this holiday season. We first heard about it back in September. We’ve also seen a videos of the doll in action and even saw a TMX Elmo sex tape. But this is just ridiculous. A Wal-Mart shipment of 100 TMX Elmos destined for homes in Arkansas were hijacked…

Can-Crushing Green Machine

The BMW Designworks USA-designed Ecopod E1 Home Recycling Center is a tricked-out trash compactor for greenies: Plastic bottles and aluminum cans go into separate slots and get crushed and dropped into a removable container, making them that much easier to get out of the house and back into the circle of non-biodegradable life. Each “pod”…

Parking With Frickin’ Lasers

Always putting dents in your garage walls because you park too far forward? Sure, you can use a tennis ball on a string, but that solution has a distinct lack of lasers. This Dual Laser Park works on an AC adapter and 3AA batteries, which shines down onto your hood when you’re deep enough inside…

TrackStick Pro: Hide This In The Trunk, Spy On Your Kids

Here’s one of those GPS devices like the Vulocity Mileage Logger that can be used for good or evil, the $300 TrackStick Pro.

Vacuum Tube Radio: Relive The Good Ol’ Days

You’re old and hate societal change, the cold weather and those good-for-nothing fat cats in Washington.

The vacuum tubes are 30-years-old…

Circuit City’s annual Holiday Survey results came out today and—surprise!—the company reports that out of 2,200 poll participants, most want consumer tech this holiday.

Cool Tool: Ethernet LinkCheck Tester

Plug the Ethernet LinkCheck tester into a standard RJ-45 Ethernet port and its three little lights will indicate whether you’re dealing with a 10Mb or 100Mb connection, or no connection at all. It’s pocket-sized at 3.5 inches long and weighs less than an ounce. Just yesterday, we were wishing for something like this; it could’ve…
