What Time is It? Where Am I?

If you’ve found yourself asking that question more than once in the past few months, or if you spend a lot of time lurking in dark alleys, you might find this tiny Zipper Watch Light useful. It attaches with climbing rope clips to anything, and displays the month, day, hour and minute as well as…

eBay of the Day: Back to the Future Nikes Circa 2015

Great scott! With an item like this, we have to welcome back our eBay of the Day feature. These are custom-made replicas of the Nike shoes that Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future 2. Unfortunately they aren’t the actual prop shoes, but look pretty damn close. I would assume that they can’t lace…

Fossil Unveils Kinetic Watch

Kinetic watches are one of the coolest timepieces available and if you haven’t enjoyed one, we suggest starting with this baby from Fossil. There are two models available, the FS4171 (left) and the FS4132 (right) and both of which retail for $95, which is pretty considerable for a nice kinetic watch. Kinetic watches use the…

Design Concept: Nokia Open Cellphone

Inspired by a Japanese fan, this design concept for a Nokia cellphone uses an as-yet-nonexistent flexible LCD color touchscreen that opens when you push the button in the middle. This piece of fantasy art looks like it would be useful for making video phone calls to your relatives vacationing on Mars. It’s hard to get…

Cellphone Garter for Sexy Parties

Oh, you handsome devil! Wouldn’t you just love to have your lady wear one of these sex-tastic cellphone garters? She’ll look smashing as you and she wander through the Wal-Mart on a Sunday afternoon, looking for lawn sprinklers. She’ll be wearing her cut-off jean skirt and ironic T-shirt, you’ll be in your Schlitz shirt and…

IBM, Georgia Tech To Announce World’s Fastest Microchip: 500GHz

Think your dual core 3-GHz processor is the bee’s knees? IBM and Georgia Tech will more than likely make you cry today with their expected announcement of a silicon-based microchip that runs at 500GHz, a world record. No, not 50GHz, but 500GHz. This feat is accomplished because researchers essentially froze the microchip to 451 degrees…

Electric Car Removed from Smithsonian, Replaced by SUV

Is it a case of bad timing, or is it a little fishy that just a week before the documentary critical of GM, Who Killed the Electric Car? is to be released that one of the few examples of the EV1 electric car in existence has been removed from the Smithsonian’s Museum of American History…

Uaser: Laser of Sound

Let’s just dive right into this, shall we. We begin with: To make a uaser, Weaver, Illinois research associate Oleg Lobkis and UMR physics professor Alexey Yamilov begin by mounting a number of piezoelectric auto-oscillators to a block of aluminum, which serves as an elastic, acoustic body. When an external acoustic source is applied to…

Tomy Vinyl Recorder

Made in 1972, this strange voice recorder used vinyl plates to store scratchy representations of “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” While the quality must have been abysmal, it was probably the coolest toy ever when it first hit Japan’s streets. Look at that industrial design. Seriously, it doesn’t come much better than that. Apparently its…

Stonehenge Pocket Watch

This is truly a Stonehenge monument that is in danger of being crushed by a dwarf. This odd little watch allows you to tell the local time or predict the winter and summer solstices. It includes a standard watch on the outside and a compass for lining yourself up with the ley lines that encircle…

USB Air Conditioned Shirt

When it comes to USB powered gadgets, this doesn’t just take the cake, it takes the entire bakery and then burns it down for the insurance money. The USB shirt has two fans on the left and right sides of the back, taking in air to cleanse all the sweat off your spare tire. There’s…

Green House Folding iPod Speakers

Straight from Japan and into our hearts come the GH-SPA-225W (left) and the GH-SPA-225QW, two foldable speakers that are compatible with the iPod. Due later this month in Japan for “an open price” (does free count as a price?), the two models differ only in relative size and appearance. Both output 2.5 watts of Apple-approved…

Third-Party Guitar Hero Controller Sucks Like a Hurricane

Our ugly yet do-able distant relations over at Kotaku have a hands-on with the Shredder, a third-party Guitar Hero controller. While they originally championed the device, a disheartened reader told them that it was actually a hunk of garbage. They do not need to be pushed down as hard as the original, making hammer-ons and…

SSP-M4SV 4-Person Skype Conference

This conference gadget is a little different than most conference phones. Instead of being a speakerphone, it has four headphone and microphone ports so each user can plug in a headset to participate in the conference. This makes for less feedback, and also, you can choose to mute any one of the four users, or…

Millennium Falcon Transformer Spotted

This is very strange info, but someone in Canada has spotted a Millennium Falcon transformer. That’s right, the ship that once macerated Chewie’s hair-filled stool is now a transformer and he’s ready to beat some Rebel ass. Not only is this a completely random toy, the fact that it ended up in Canada for some…

FIFA Refuses Replay Technology

So we usually leave the sports commentary to our big, disfigured sister, Deadspin, but this is worth mentioning. France played South Korea this past weekend in a group play match that ended in a 1-1 draw. But that shouldn’t have happened because a ball that was blocked by the Korea goal keeper in the 32nd…
