American Inventor Spot likes boobies as much as we do. They’ve compiled a list of the top 10 boobie gadgets that you or your wife can buy. We’ve covered some of them here before, like the boob remote, mousepad and the breast-shaped shampoo dispenser, but keeping up with these things is a full-time job. That’s…
Microsoft, seeing all the good press Apple got for starting to sell DRM-free music in their store courtesy of EMI, has decided to do the same thing. In the near future, Zune owners will be able to buy songs from the Zune Marketplace in what we can only assume will be DRM-free WMA files. https://gizmodo.com/official-emi-to-release-music-drm-free-248836…
You may not be familiar with Hop-on, a company based in both Irvine, CA, and China, but you’re going to hear a lot about them soon. Why? Because they’ve just been granted a patent for an “MP3 phone with speakers on the side, in addition to front and side buttons to activate its camera/video features.”…
You’ve probably seen pop-up books, but this Book of Lights is different from any you’ve encountered. At first it looks like an ordinary book, but you open it up and there’s an intricately designed miniature streetlamp unfolding right there in front of you. It has little working lightbulbs at the top, consisting of five 3mm…
Really hate your downstairs neighbors? This bed will be sure to make your bedroom romps more fun, noisy and obnoxious, ensuring that every time you pass your neighbors in the stairwell it’ll be increasingly awkward. Product Page [via Uberreview]
I usually try to stray away from the celebrity gossip goods and leave it to my Gawker brethren at Defamer, but this is too good to pass up. It seems Madonna is the proud owner of an iPhone a few months prior to the official release date, at least according to the fine folks at…
Remember when we told you that CableCARD Vista Media Centers were being delayed thanks to problems with CableCARD? Well, turns out there were some bugs on the tuners when switching between analog and digital on some Scientific Atlanta networks. But here’s some new info: https://gizmodo.com/want-a-vista-cablecard-media-center-not-so-fast-232973 Before the bug was found and the whole shipment processs…
If this Genso Kukan Aurora simulator can come anything close to making your wall look like in the aurora borealis, it will be worth far more than its $61 price. It’s a 6-inch tall projector that runs on three AA batteries, and it has a 30-minute sleep timer to lull you to sleep with images…
I’ve been debating whether or not to post this thing, but what the hell, you’re all grown-ups. Last time I was in Akihabara, I’d found a 7-story sex store filled with the usual DVDs, mags, fetish gear and cosplay outfits. After floor 2, my eyes just glazed over, senses overloaded. But you don’t start hiking…
Congratulations to Nick Chiang, Mr. Horse (I guess we should start requiring full names with submissions) and Jens Backman. The Active Reactor by Radio Active was the watch stranger than your mother-in-law and therefore the correct answer. Thanks to everyone who entered, and if you didn’t win, don’t fret. Tokyo Flash is having a special…
When the Web inexplicably turns into one gigantic April Fools’ joke (and many say that’s the case 365 days a year), sometimes viable ideas are a by-product. That’s exactly what happened with this 8-bit tie, created by ThinkGeek especially for the stupidest goddamned day of the year. Now the company says it will actually sell…
Because of the way laptops are built, most people don’t upgrade their notebooks like they do their desktop. Well, Asus is trying to change that with their new C90 gaming laptop. Everything from the lappie’s CPU to its high-def optical drive will be user upgradeable. Asus says you’ll even be able to pop out the…
Nothing says “summer” like getting hammered and passing out in the sun, but apparently that’s not the healthiest thing you can do. Stupid doctors, thinking they know my body better than I do. Anyways, this little device can tell you just how badly you’re damaging your body on two counts. First of all, it’s a…
Thanks to a keen-eyed Apple fanboy, rumors of new Apple TVs are starting to spread. Why? Well, it appears that the Apple TV “Buy Me” page has a “Select Your Apple TV” option up top. That option is only used when the product has various models (like the Mac mini). Apple is gonna have new…
By Brendan I. Koerner I imagine that being a cordless-phone designer is pretty similar to playing for the Atlanta Hawks, minus the big money, groupies, and VIP strip-club privileges. I mean, you’re technically in the gadgets game, which is nirvana for a geek—certainly beats working a Store 24 cash register. But you’ve also got to…
Apparently Hillary Clinton doesn’t approve of Grand Theft Auto. Or maybe it’s that PS2 she’s getting sick of playing, longing for a PS3, Wii or maybe even an Xbox 360 Elite. Check out the Photoshopping hilarity in the gallery, taking poor Hillary to places she’s definitely never been. WTF was she saying, or looking at?…
Yeah, yeah, yeah. iPods get stolen a lot, I get it. But do you really need a little acrylic case to hold your Shuffle and keep it locked to your belt loop? I mean, I know the ads tell you to keep it clipped to the front of your shirt, but perhaps that’s why they’re…
One of the downsides of living in a tiny NYC apartment is that there’s no dishwasher, so my lazy ass is stuck washing everything by hand. There’s just no room for a big ol’ dishwasher, after all. But look! This dishwasher is small enough to fit in my apartment! But then again, it only holds…
Being a Verizon customer, I’m always complaining about their lack of phones, but it looks like the boys in red just got first dibs on RIM’s BlackBerry 8830 (aka the Cyclone), which is a CDMA/GSM hybrid. In other words, it’ll work here in the States and overseas on GSM networks. It’s Verizon’s second phone with…
So it turns out it’s HP, not Dell, that wants to get into handheld gaming. Word has it that HP Labs is working on a gaming platform dubbed Mscape, which would rely on GPS sensors to allow for location-aware adventure games. https://gizmodo.com/dell-says-no-to-gaming-handheld-rumors-234628 So for example, let’s say you’re playing a game and happen to walk…
