Proporta Gadget Bag: Lots of Space, Plenty of Compartments To Fill

Hell if I knew, but kids today love them some gadget bags. UK-based Proporta just released one of their own, the cleverly named Proporta Gadget Bag. Proporta divided the inside of the bag into several different compartments, making it easier to lug around gadgets of all shapes and sizes—and uses! There’s also a few slits…

LG Philips Shows Off its 47-inch LED Display

The folks at LG Philips seem to be right on track with their new LED-backlit LCD. They were caught showing it off again just months before its scheduled release. The TV packs a serious punch thanks to its 1080p resolution, 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and 105% color gamut. Philips also showed off 5 other LED-based displays…

Super Bowl Ad Watch: Top Spots

Media Watch: Bogus Trendspotting from the NYT on Vista Launch

Today the Times is running an article with a now familiar trope: the Vista launch was a solid “meh,” rather than an exuberant “wow.” This kind of piece was fine before the launch when they said there was no hype. It was fine the day after the launch, when they said there were no lines.…

Sun Visor Theater: Watch Movies While You Avoid the Cops

Swap out your car’s sun visor for the Sun Visor Theater, and suddenly you have yourself an entertainment center in your passenger’s face. Too bad you’ll have the highway patrol in your face as soon as they catch you with this multimedia center that’s easily visible from the driver’s seat, against the law in most…

Vista Install Problems? Shred The Disc

By now, you’ve heard that moving to Windows Vista isn’t as easy as it should be. So how does Anthony of the "Opie & Anthony Show" (aka "Norton and Friends") react after failing to install Microsoft’s latest OS? Oh, he installs it, all right… installs it on a paper shredder. Anyone else take any drastic…

Fabric Clock: Altered States, But No Time Machine

The Fabric Clock won’t alter the fabric of time, but it might give a bit of unity to your decor. Use one of the three fabric swatches included with it, or swap out that material for one of your own to match your bedspread, curtains, or the nightie that babe sleeping next to you wore…

Versatile Folding Seating: Bizarre Chair, or Magic Trick?

In this video it looks more like a magic trick than a piece of furniture, but take a look at this versatile accordion-like seating that gives new meaning to the phrase “folding chair.” We can’t understand if anyone is saying, “Jeez, this is comfortable,” or if they’re comparing it to a bed of nails. We…

Gizmodo Exclusive: Burning Stuff with a Green Wicked Laser

My wife is curious. “So what do you do with it?” “It’s a laser.” “Right…” “Very powerful, and fits in your hand.” “So, you can use it giving presentations and stuff.” “Not really. The beam is so bright, you could hurt someone if it reflected into their eye.” “So what do you do with it?”…

CMTech K7, Is That Karaoke In Your Pocket?

The CMTech K7 is not a phone. That took us a while to actually believe, since it looks like a phone. But it’s not a phone. That said… The K7 is billed as a pocket Karaoke machine, since its TV out can make an instant party anywhere with a television and a fifth of tequila.…

$8 Million Car, Still Worth Less Than a Taurus

This is a nice car, no doubt about it. But the argument that the vehicle took $8 million to develop and is thereby worth said amount would merit a Ford Taurus sticker price of $1 billion. You heard it here first: if you are a true billionaire, you drive a recently discontinued Ford Taurus. Anyone…

Origami Remote: Not THAT Origami

The Origami Remote is actually made of paper and has nothing to do with UMPCs. Responding to market research claiming children fear early experiences with remotes (call that natural selection), this prototype was built in a week’s time, and was recently exhibited at the Work in Progress Show in London. Controls are (purposefully) limited to…

Cisco to Apple: “Your Underwear Has Skidmarks and Everybody Knows”

According to the New York Post, Cisco bought a full page NYT ad yesterday, “Signaling it has no plans to give up its claim to the iPhone trademark…” I’m grown man enough to understand that when a company buys a semi-cryptic NYT full pager, they have no interest in targeting the average consumer directly, but…

Hot iPod Models, Looking Stupid

Photographer Caesar Lima loves taking pictures of models holding iPods…maybe in a tacit acceptance of our iPod fetishism…or his iPod fetishism. His photography transcends mere softcore bikini porn to something greater than a 15-year-old boy tube sock lusting a hot woman he cannot screw with the hot gadget he cannot afford, or screw. It’s as…

Update on NFL’s Panties: Still Bunched

Responding to what happened a couple days ago, churches around the country have put the kibbosh on “traditional” Super Bowl parties while the NFL continues to put the fear out, “standing by its interpretation of copyright law.” Apparently, enough private homeowners are worried about Ray Lewis busting down their door that Slate came to the…

Top 10ish Wooden Gadgets Gallery

Personal goal: complete this post with no phallic allusions. Wood is a timeless construction medium that will be around long after silver/white/black finishes are things of the past. So why don’t we see more wood in electronics? I used to think it was for durability, but if you hadn’t noticed, current build materials are crap.…
