He-Man’s Battle Cat Gets Painted, Time Lapse Style

To follow up his time lapse Voltron painting, Robert Burden went for another influential cartoon of the ’80s: He-Man. See 420 hours of Battle Cat painting distilled down to 3 minutes.

LaCie’s Sound2 USB Speakers Look Like Disembodied Earbuds for Giants

We’re a little skeptical of speakers that look this good, since it seems like they’re trying to compensate for something—LaCie’s Sound2 laptop speakers are USB-powered, after all—but the audio comes from Cabasse, a pretty established French audio company. Designed by LaCie stalwart Neil Poulton, they remind me of floating giant iPod earbuds. I really hope…

Robot Looking Blackfire Clamplight Should Be More than Just A Flashlight

After confusing that thing for Wall-E’s eye and pinching myself to stop thinking about how cute it is, I learned that the Blackfire Clamplight is, well as its name implies, a flashlight that clamps to things and pivots. Bummer. I wish it did more, like wash my floors and talk to me when I am…

Is The Palm Pre Tanking?

Palm says that they sold about 810,000 Palm Pre units. However, that figure may be bogus, according to analyst David Eller. He says that this includes all units sold to resellers, not only activated Pres. This may spell t-r-o-u-b-l-e: We have been perplexed by a disconnect between PALM’s device units sold and our estimates of…

Pioneer Churns Out the World’s First 12x Blu-ray Burner

The BDR-205 is pretty much like any other mainstream 5.25-inch internal Blu-ray writer, in terms of looks and features, except for the fact that it, get this, spins slightly faster than the current crop of 8x writers. Slightly! I was tempted to try to find a late-90s press release for Pioneer’s first 12x CD burner…

LTV3 In-Flight TV’s 200 Live Channels—Two. Hundred. Channels

Watch our friend Mary Kirby getting all excited about the LTV3 in-flight TV system. I can’t blame her. It will expand the number of live TV channels in airplanes to two hundred. Coach potatoes, rejoice. The catch: You will have to pay $6 if you fly coach in Continental Airlines, which is currently installing the…

An Alligetter Tool For Getting Things Out Of Drains, Garbage Disposals

This Alligetter LED tool isn’t just a lousy pun, it shines a light into dark (and small) places where you couldn’t normally see or reach. Places like drains, or garbage disposals, or behind the couch. We’d not only use this to avoid putting our fingers in dangerous places, but dirty ones too. Dropping a ring…

Navy’s Future Command Center Makes Star Trek a Reality

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific (SPAWAR) is the Navy’s new command center designed to create an “unfair advantage” over enemy forces. And I’ll be damned if they didn’t set it up to look like the USS Enterprise. Spaceship-like setups include a 135-inch viewscreen, huge multi-touchscreen desks and fancy equipment and screens being…

DIY Google Street View Camera Lets You Infuriate Shut-Ins For Fun and Profit

Google’s spent millions of dollars sending its Street View cars around the world, photographing streets so you can see them on the internet. And now you can replicate this for some reason. Created for a class at West Point, Roy D. Ragsdale created his prototype setup using a laptop, $300 of off-the-shelf components and open…

Haleron Swordfish 102 Netbook Makes Room For Two Atom Processors And No Sense

I get way too excited about the prospect of more powerful netbooks, but adding another processor to a cheap looking 10-inch netbook just doesn’t get me going. Haleron’s Swordfish Net has two of the standard 1.6GHz Intel Atom processors. Do not be confused. This is not a dual core processor. The company has just made…

Warning: Don’t Die Around Geeks or This Might Happen

We’re sure it was meant as a loving gesture, but when a man puts his brother’s cremated remains into a SPARCstation case, even we begin to question our geek sensibilities. Strangely enough, the eccentric urn does not seem to have been a request of the deceased, but an earnest and loving gesture by family. From…

DoubleSight Mini USB Displays Are Cheap Enough to Imagine On Your Desk

Using a mini-monitor for Photoshop toolbars or tracking email is pretty handy, but they’re also pricey. So even though DoubleSight’s new 7- and 9-inch LCDs aren’t touchscreen (like the $230 Mimo 720-S), I like that they start at just $120. https://gizmodo.com/gadgets-available-today-5345474 That price gets you the 7-incher, which has a resolution of 800 x 480.…

Google Earth Will Track Cars and People In Real Time, Eventually Destroy Privacy

Why is this scary? Right now, all the data displayed is anonymous, which makes up for a cool looking technology. You…
