This is a paradox we’re sure both Microsoft and Apple don’t want to find themselves in. With the better part of their advertising campaigns trying to show the differences between the two companies, the Zoom vending machines used to distribute iPods, run on the Windows XP operating system.
Isn’t it ironic? Don’t ya think? Of course, it would probably be more fitting if the display was blue-screened. — Andrew Dobrow
Humor degrading any certain sect of culture is just the best. You can’t help but laugh at something like this nerdy tee with the words “Mii love you long time” emblazoned on them. Not only does this rip on woman, but totally destroys the Asian take on English. Or as you might call it, Engrish.
We hate to laugh at something like this, but we will anyway. Pure genius. Would you rock this shit? — Andrew Dobrow
The iArtifact project is a design concept that is attempting to take on the extent of Apple fandom with a twist of the extreme. The iPod earbud earrings are kinda cool looking, but whats the point? Why not just buy your own pair of earbuds for a buck, cut them, and paint them silver?
Also included in the iArtifcat project is desktop wallpaper and a bracelet. Though, the earbuds are the definite stand out piece. — Andrew Dobrow
Well it might not be a complex DIY, but it’s a DIY all the same. The NES controller wallet was made using little more than a plain coin purse and glue. Oh, and of course a NES controller body.
If you’ve been holding on to the dream that your Nintendo system might miraculously start working again, give it up my friend. Use the rectangular controllers and look snazzy. (more…)
There’s really no words that can express how thoroughly revolting this product is. The Turd Twister starter kit (is there an advanced kit?!) comes with 10 popular designs and shapes that you can mold your excrement into.
Why would anyone want to use this? Please tell us this is meant as a gag gift and nothing more. Or we might have to vomit profusely now. — Andrew Dobrow
This spider robot looks a lot scarier than it really is. In fact, it might save your life. The Ellos RescueBot is designed to reach untraversable areas where humans can’t squeeze their meager two legs into, sort of like the Amoeba Bot. The damage resistant robot is a perfect example of Asimov’s laws of robotics. It saves you without getting hurt.
Its main standout feature is 10 lifting arms on its bottom. When it reaches its target, the legs extend, closing around the subject in need of some spider saving. Spiderman might just have met his match. (more…)
With recent confirmation of a sequel to the ever-popular Starcraft series of games, rumors and predictions have been floating around that either Diablo 3 or Starcraft 2 will be somehow involved in the MMORPG gaming market. Blizzard is now further expanding this rumor with a job listing posted in the Employment section of their website.
The listing describes the position as a lead programming job for people who think they can “lead an engine-programming team focused on next-generation massively multiplayer online games.” Regardless of whether or not this is for an existing title or something brand new, Blizzard still has an announcement coming up by the end of May. — Andrew Dobrow
It would be a shame if this tampon taser gun were to go off at the wrong time. Like when inside of someone’s naughty place. The aptly named Pink Stinger, which sounds like a combination between a porno flick and a sea creature, is a way for woman to not only regulate their menstruation hygiene, but offers a method of self defense as well.
In its stun setting, you only need to make contact with your target via the 2 prods, for an effective toxic shock. Rendering the victim disoriented, degraded and embarrassed. When shooting in taser mode, 2 extra absorbent tampons with barbed probes and 12 ft. of wire are expelled and propelled by compressed nitrogen. The Pink Stinger deals a shocking 50,000 volts of electricity to the rude, male gentlemen in question. Exactly what we need. Woman with PMS wielding 50,000 volts of power in their hands. — Andrew Dobrow
Hey, hockey fans. Want a cool way to clean without feeling like a little bitch? Check out this hockey-themed cleaning gear made especially for people like you. The storage bin, vacuum, broom hockey cleaning gear is a design concept for the maid in all of us.
I would much prefer sweeping my garbage with a hockey stick look-alike than with a traditional broom. We would so buy this. Someone make it, please. — Andrew Dobrow
Check out the box-art for the European version of Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition. It’s basically a copy of the PAL PS2 cover art, only now done in a black and white color scheme instead of red and black. The verdict? F’ing gorgeous.
We don’t know about you but the black and white really adds a lot. Very creepy looking and very alluring. We better get some damn cool box-art. What do you think? Pretty cool, huh? — Andrew Dobrow
