Game & Watch Donkey Kong and Zelda Keychain

If your youth was anything like ours, it was full of Kool Aid, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and lots and lots of Game & Watch. Marvel at how they can condense the day’s advanced technology into something that costs $8.99 and comes in a keychain. Before the NES, the best you could get from Nintendo…

Stripper Shoe Phone For Little Girls

The YOUnivers Funk Fone only costs $19.99, which much less than little Cyndi can make when she’s all growns up and stripping at Scores. Get’em when they’re young, and let them lead the way. We think that’s how the song goes. Product Page [eToys via Textually via uber gizmo]

CNet Checks Out Windows Vista: Stable, but No OS X Killer

The folks at CNET have given Windows Vista Ultimate a thorough testing. Their verdict? Buy it if it’s already installed on a new PC, but skip it if you’re merely upgrading. Though they found MS’ new OS very stable, they felt there weren’t enough new features in it to merit an upgrade. Also, chances are…

Coolest NanoBots Ever Look Like a Lobster Mated With an Xbox 360

We love us some Sci-Fi here at Giz, and these renderings of Nanobots are amazing to look at. They look like a combination between a Lobster and an Xbox 360. The images hint at the nanobots being able to combine to form materials, and roll up into a ball so billiions of them can clog…

Was Cheney BlackBerrying it up During the SOTU?

We recognize that old ass-shift-pocket-reach-downward-stare-thumb-action anywhere, especially since we saw it in exquisite high def. But was Cheney texting Condi or was he just switching the old girl to silent? You be the judge. What was Cheney crackberrying during the State of the Union? [Foreign Policy – Thanks Travis!]

Transformer Shoes!

These might look like shoes, but there’s more than meets the eye here (har!). They are also Transformers, twisting and turning their way into shoe versions of Convoy and Megatron. How badass is that?

MyOrigo MyDevice Becomes Relevant Again Thanks to the iPhone

We covered this way back in the Johnson administration, but this MyOrigo MyDevice is a tilt-sensing touch-screen phone that looks nothing like the iPhone.
