KTM X-Bow – Wicked.

If we showed you every cool car we came across on RSS, our name would be Jalopnik. But the KTM X-Bow looks like a ride worthy of the new Transformers movie, if only the Autobots were smart enough to become cooler cars than Fords.

SlingMedia Shows Off Apple TV

About a week after our own Gizmodo cult leader editor Brian Lam tested out Apple TV over a Slingbox, Slingmedia posted their own demo on YouTube. They demonstrate the MotoQ streaming at a tolerable framerate via EVDO, and then show their client running on a PC complete with faux, “how hasn’t Jobs eaten them yet?”…

Solar Powered Lighter—Wait, What?

A Portugal-based company has reinvented the wheel and created fire from the sun, kind of. This solar-powered lighter doesn’t actually create an open flame, but it does create a series of sparks that should be capable of lighting a BBQ grill. So in all reality, it is the environment-friendly lazy man’s flint or sparker. The…

LED Table Gives Your Meals a Sensual Glow

This LED table, designed by Julian Appelius and Fabien Dumas, may look like a regular table at first, but that changes when you place something down.

Renova Black Toilet Paper Now Comes in Green, Orange and Red

Black toilet paper was weird enough, but wiping your ass with green, orange, or red gets even weirder. Although you can now see whether you’re “clean” with the new colors, it just feels mentally odd to us to see our poo smeared across anything but clean white sheets. Call us old-fashioned. https://gizmodo.com/black-toilet-paper-128466 Product Page [Giftmonger]
