Best Notebook Design Ever

Update: I was harsh in my first take of this laptop design. Upon further examination, it’s the best thing we’ve ever seen. Seriously, every design firm should think about hiring Anna Lopez. This lady will design the next iPhone for you. Why doesn’t she have a job already? What are you people waiting for? In…

Car Theft Deterrent Breaks Arms, Cracks Skulls

It doesn’t actually crack skulls, well, maybe, but probably not. Somebody realized that the annoying, high-pitched car alarms are pretty worthless, and the Club is better off being used to actually crack someone’s skull. This system violently shakes the steering wheel so hard that it will actually break arms if the thief tries to maintain…

Pastel USBCell AA Batteries Spares the Life of Peeps, Chocolate Bunnies

Moxio has decided to take their wildly popular USBCell rechargeable USB AA battery and give it some color. These just aren’t any colors, they are pastel colors just in time for Easter! This idea sound familiar? It should, Saitek is trying to hock their mice in a similar buy-this-to-put-in-an-Easter-basket fashion. What is the deal with…

Nikon D40x Hands-On: Potent Power, Petite Price

We have a Nikon D40X ($730, body only) in our hands, and testing it for the past few days has been a joy. The camera is light but not too light, and its controls are perfectly placed. We’re even okay with its menu system, which other reviewers have called “meandering.” It also gives you the…

Platinum Gundam Protects Very Small Countries

Mounting cardboard boxes on our arms, legs, and head and running pretending we were Gundam is much easier these days since we get so many packages in the mail (FedEx/UPS Gundam ftw). But a Gundam made of platinum is pretty outrageous even for Japan. This $250,000 figurine was made by Takara Tomy and will go…

Today Show Knows Women Can’t be Pigeonholed

Today on the, uh, Today Show, they had a segment called “Gadgets for Girls.” It had the standard pandering pink crap, like a pink Vaio and a pink MP3 player, but what we really liked was them trying to play off a shoe wheel as a gadget. Really guys? You ran out of normal devices…

Challenge of Outer Space (circa 1950s)

Wernher von Braun begins the film Challenge of Outer Space by saying, "The conquest of outer space is the greatest technological challenge of the age in which we live." Even before a manned mission to the moon the nation’s top space scientists were speculating about what space stations would look like. I find it difficult…

Time Warner DVRs Might Come with Bonus Porn

Some unfortunate Time Warner customer got a “new” DVR unit that happened to be 20 percent full of pornography. Having a couple of small kids around that had yet to be desensitized to porn, he was far from pleased. Having been on a three-week waiting list for Time Warner Cable’s HighDef DVR box, it was…

A Fireplace with an iPod Dock is the Last Straw

Enough is enough. A fireplace does not need an iPod dock, no matter what. There is just no reason for it to exist, and it turns what in theory could be a classy addition to your living room into a cheap fad-chaser. No matter how nice something looks (not that this fireplace looks all that…

China Prepping a Moon Rover That’ll Outshine the Rest

Scientists over in China are building a prototype moon rover that they hope will not only lead to the country’s first unmanned mission to the moon, but also outdo the US’ first moon rover. The Chinese rover will be capable of transmitting videos and stills, but whereas NASA’s rovers rely on solar-rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, the…
