Surge Protector + Desk = Family Communication Center

If you are anything like us Gizmodoites—you probably have chargers scattered all over your dwelling to accompany the various gadgets you own. Sligh is trying to solve the charging problem (since when was it a problem?) plaguing many of us with the Family Communication Center, or FCC. The FCC is really just an over glorified…

Z-Agnon Video Cube: Six Screens, One Small Package

God bless the Japanese for coming up with totally weird gadgetry, the latest example of which is this Z-Agon Video Cube, erm, thing. The cube is made up of six 2.5-inch screens that display all types of video content. So, rather than settle for a PMP with one lousy screen, be a man and upgrade…

Extreme SuperYacht of the Future: Ready to Build Today

If you’ve got it, might as well flaunt it, so how about cruising around in this 485-foot extreme super yacht with transatlantic range at sustained speeds of 40 knots? This tri-hull concept has four engines totaling 33,000hp, pushing individual water jets that get it sprinting up to 50 knots. It’s not the fastest yacht in…

Power Aware Cord: Glowing Guilt

Maybe if you could actually see how much energy you’re using, you wouldn’t leave that PC running all night. That’s the idea behind the Static Energy+Design Network’s Power Aware Cord, a power strip whose connecting cable glows and pulses. Its electroluminescent wires embedded inside get brighter when more power flows through, pulsing and scintillating with…

Hand Acupuncture Pen Works On Touchscreens Too

If writing on paper and on touchscreen devices isn’t enough functionality for your pen, this acupuncture pen lets you do “hand acupuncture”. We’re not quite familiar with this technique despite playing the five finger game with butter knives all the time, much to the chagrin of our wives. It’s just a guess, but we’re probably…

Saint B MP3: Sorry God

The Saint B is an MP3 player concept out of Russia. The unit hangs around your neck where OLED beauty glistens through a flexible black plastic cover. The player charges/syncs via USB. But what we like most about the Saint B is the sinful bang for your buck: Sin 1: Bastardization/misuse of the cross Sin…

Mechanical Tiger Shiva: Take Over the Art World

I’ve put a lot of thought into what would be cooler than a liger – we’re talking hours of wasted sketching and planning. The answer was obvious. A miger, or mechanical tiger, is a fusion of form and technology that even Napoleon Dynamite fans can appreciate. Shiva is a miger by artist Kezanti, and apparently…

White and Pink LG Chocolate on Sale

Apparently chocolate comes in more flavors than black…err…dark. We recently talked about the white version of the LG Chocolate coming to the states. It’s officially available for order along with a pink version on Amazon. There is no price premium for the different colors (all models run $375) – but the pink may cost you…

Nuclear Strike = Dead, No Cellphone Replacement

Our even more jaded friends at the Consumerist received an interesting tip regarding big cellphone insurance provider Asurion’s exclusion of coverage. This is direct from the policy: L. Any Loss or damage caused by or through or in consequence, directly or indirectly, of Nuclear Hazard, meaning any weapon employing atomic fission or fusion; or nuclear…

Daylight Savings: Stupid Clocks?

I have a fairly nice Sony CD Alarm clock. Whenever the power goes out, I need to reset the year, date, SSN, etc, and it’s a pretty big pain in the butt. So most of the time, I don’t bother to program the real date in because it doesn’t even appear on the display. About…

Sucky Ducky Vacuum: Does Not Suck, But Totally Does

Our keyboard is a gross pile of chips, cat hair and coffee spills topped by a neatly organized layer of buttons. We could use the Sucky Ducky. Plug him into your USB and a simple on/off switch toggles moderate suction power. The naturally slim bill shape makes for an easy fit between the keys, as…

SIXAXIS Autopsy

Our “we think we’re cool because we wear Mario underwear” friends at Kotaku posted that Sony’s new SIXAXIS controller has been meticulously dissected. The verdict? To their chemically-induced point of view, the controllers have plenty of room for vibration in the handles. And we agree. Just check out those hollow caverns of wasteful nothingness. While…

T-Qualizer: Equalizer T-shirt Video

Apparently these were recently featured on Ellen, but since we don’t frequent that show, this is the first video we’ve seen on the T-Qualizer. Running off a pair of AA batteries, the T-Qualizer is perfect for dark places, so people can better find you to kick your ass for wearing a T-Qualizer. Seriously, we would…

Lipstick Pen: If James Bond Were a Drag Queen

Q: “Mr. Bond, please try out our latest invention in your arsenal.” B: “This is…lipstick?” Q: “No! It only appears to be lipstick! Really, it’s a secret pen.” B: “Umm, for what?” Q: “So you can write secret messages!” B: “No explosives?” Q: “Nope.” B: “Laser beams?” Q: “Definitely not.” B: “Does it come in…

Glow Brick: Inspiration is Yours for $25

The Glow Brick is touted as a “cordless nightlight” – a clever way of saying it’s not really a light, but a glow-in-the-dark box instead. Powered by magical glow matter called “phosphorescence”, the Glow Brick charges from a lamp or sunlight and can provide up to three hours of glowy goodness. That’s probably not enough…

i Talk Nano: The “Please Sue Me” Skype Phone

Some companies kinda want to get sued. Amex Digital must be fully lawyer-loaded with the IT-N501 i Talk Nano. It’s a fairly sexy Skype phone that comes in iWhite or iBlack, includes an LCD display, features speakerphone and caller ID, and will still only run you $25. Seems like a bargain until you remember that…
