One day, Papa iPod and Mama iPod Mini decided to throw Baby iPod Shuffle a little party for doing so well in marketing school. So they got together to meet Mr. PodGear for some HouseParty speakers they can all rock out on (Papa and Mama are very hip parents). The speakers come with separate adaptor…

I know there are hardcore gamers out there, that will do and spend anything to increase their gaming edge. I really have doubts that there are hardcore enough mobile phone gamers that actually need a gamepad to play Brick Attack, but who knows. For those diehard mobile gamers I guess Alienware heard your calling and…
In most cases I would naturally say an idea like this would be completely worthless, but this only escapes the grasps of worthlessness by being an extremely cool. This plant, purchased at Home Depot is controlled by the stock fluctuations that the Home Depot stock is taking. Once a week a wifi adapter checks the…
I got the heebie jeebies just looking at this thing. It’s a bone injection gun for pounding meds straight into the marrow for when you just can’t find a vein. I can’t even look pictures of face-lifted people without thinking about all the gristle and stuff that they had to cut through to give them…
It seems that this piece is all conjecture, but The Inquirer is proposing that, thanks to Sony talking all big about the PS3 and how amazingly expensive it will be, Microsoft now has leeway to price the XBox360 a good $200 or $300 higher than expected. Now that I read this, it seems as if…
Wha? This story is important just for its headline: State bans cell phone driving teens. So are the teens driving the cell phones? I just don’t know. Essentially, Colorado has outlawed teens from driving while under the influence of 50 Cent’s Candy Shop ringtone. Unfortunately, I doubt a heavy duty ruling on the books is…
OK. Last DIY. I promise. This is a service that sells custom car insignias. I’m going to get one that says “KITTENS SUCK” and then see how far I can drive without being rear-ended by some mu-mu-wearing romance novel lover in her Fiesta. Kittens do suck, by the way. Custom Car Emblem from Youremblem.com is…
Today is DIY day for some reason. Oh well. Mick sends us to this exciting page featuring a rack mount Nintendo complete with front loading cartridge slot. Everything is fine and dandy, everything fits just perfectly, and then you get to this line: I don’t know what possessed me to build this other than the…
Make Magazine has a detailed—and we mean detailed—HOW-TO on how to get RSS feeds sent to your SPOT watch. I dig SPOT but I think it’s gone stagnant recently. This little hack, however, perks up my flagging SPOT-love slightly. Most of the HOW-TO involves downloading a bunch of software but the fact that you can…
I know Hugh Masekela and his bugle aren’t big on the pop charts these days, but if you’re going to play Taps, can’t you learn the few notes that it requires? The Cyber Bugle pounds out Taps with 40 watts of power and resonates through the bugle itself. I guess it beats whipping out the…
This popped up this weekend. It’s very important: once a device is able to play Doom, it becomes a man and receives a Bar Mitzvah and lots of cash and presents. Here’s a tip from Uncle Gizmodo—someone out there has to create an “It Plays Doom” website with images of everything, from refrigerators to the…
We mentioned the re-release of the smaller and sassier Toshiba Libretto in the form of the U100 a few months ago, and were quite excited by its prospects. The teensy 2.2 pound form factor packs quite a bit of oomph for its size; including a Pentium M chip, a 1280 x 768 resolution and a…
Ever wished your Magic 8 Ball came in human form? Not so you can snuggle with it, but so its varied and valuable advice didn’t come from an impersonal black hunk of plastic. Well, wish no longer. The Unsound Advice characters offer unsolicited and poor advice whenever you need it. They come in multiple styles,…
I’ve had this link floating around for about five years now and never got a chance to post it. So here it is. Hyperfabric, created by the HMC Medialab, is a touchable interface that uses a very thin film to simulate an immersive user interface. You can press, grab, twist, punch and play with the…
I’m not saying Romania isn’t a nice place, but come on, people, can we spring for a Haier or something? I’m sure they have the RomaniaRex Air Conidtioner/Pirate Nintendo Game Controller Combo down at the local bazaar. I realize you might be making the equivalent of 45 cents a day raking chickens for some rich…
GE makes irons and toasters for us peons but really pulls out all the stops for the richies. Consider the Monogram Walk-in Wine Vault with inventory control system. This beast holds up to 1100 bottles in humidity and temperature controlled surroundings and you can even lock up your “precious”—that’s what they used in the ad…
Looks like iRiver has come up with a successor to its N10 OLED flash player. The oh-so-creatively named update is the iRiver N11, which looks… exactly the same as the N10. Apparently it’ll have 2 hours more battery life, has an FM tuner, and will support the Ogg Vorbis audio format. It’ll be available in…
Hey, kids, be the first on your block to amaze your friends with super-l33t pictures of the new Nintendo controller that you “found in Nintendo’s dumpster like last weekend when you and your friend were skate boarding in Japan.” Do you actually have to have pictures of the super-l33t Nintendo controller? Hell no! Just use…
Ha! Lik’ed! Funny. UK PSP importer Lik-Sang is in deep doo doo for importing the PSP into the UK. Because Britain needs to learn to be patient, Sony is punishing the denizens of the Snoggy Isle by taking a very small PSP importer to court and essentially pantsing them to death. Apparently, this attack isn’t…
