Choculator melts in your class, not in your hands
Don’t let its appearance deceive you. The Choculator is not edible, of course unless you eat plastic. In which case this could be your dessert after scarfing down the Tempura Phone Charm. Choculator looks scarily close to being an actual chocolate bar, except that most chocolate bars don’t have a display screen on them. Choculator comes packaged in a candy bar-like wrapping that adds to the disillusion. You wanna see something funny? Give this to a kid on Halloween. Just... Continue reading
Japanese Food Phone Charm looks like tempura, tastes like plastic
These phone charms might looks delicious, but trust us, they do not taste as good as they look. We learned the hard way and had to be rushed to the hospital for surgery. The Japanese Food Phone Charm is a realistic-looking, novelty phone dangling strap that will make people wonder why you walk around with tempura attached to your phone. It might even make you look twice. The tempura charm is available for pre-order now for $4.11. Tempura sauce comes... Continue reading
First “Window” XP dumbphone, Microsoft screams WTF
Chinese phone companies are amazing, after ripping off Porsche they’re going after Microsoft today… but this time it really deserves some attention. First off it houses a 3″ QVGA touch screen in a 17mm thin body, booo Nokia. Secondly it has stereo speakers, booo SonyEricsson; but seriously we’re starting to feel sorry for Microsoft, their Vista sold only 244 copies and their UI was ripped off by Meizu, now we have this “Window” phone…
Oh yeah?! Well…My baby has a scroll-wheel!
Alert, parents! Your kids are in danger. Danger of becoming something you’d never wish upon anyone. It seems that all you can do is pray, that your child does not become a brainless jock. Better start letting them know about the finer side of tech while they’re still young enough not to call you an asshole. This iPod Baby wear shows from your child’s infancy, that he will follow in his father’s footsteps and be a geek as well. The... Continue reading
Full body cyborg suit coming next year, humans given two more years to live
The Daiwa House Industry Co. has created a full bodied cyborg that looks like something you might see at your local movie theater. The exoskeleton was designed to assist those who have difficulties moving around on their own. Those people will know be able to survive nuclear explosions. We joke. When the user wants to move a limb, the suit reads your brainwaves and conveys the info to the corresponding part of the suit which will than move. Scarily enough,... Continue reading
Lego Ice Tray to put your Jolt cola on the rocks
If the Lego Diamond Ring wasn’t enough “ice” to cool your Lego-themed gadget jets, then the Lego Ice Tray will be sure to drop your temperature. The tray produces 10 Lego cubes with each load and makes your beverages absurdly geeky. Sadly for us, they are not yet available in the U.S. *whimper* But maybe we’ll have one of our Asian friends pick one up for us because they sure as hell leave more of an impression than your average...

DIY: Replace your headphone jack
If you want a good pair of headphones, it’s gonna cost you. No matter how much you spend on them, headphone jacks have a tendency of splitting from the wire and loosening, creating dead noise. When this happens, most people will have a period where they cry under their blankets in the dark, cuddling with their old pair, before throwing them out and buying new ones. No need to spend time grieving. This DIY shows you how to replace the... Continue reading
Who’s paying Microsoft’s legal bills? You are!
According to a calculation done by the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) a $21.50 “patent tax” is added in to every sale of Microsoft’s software products. This is the first time I’ve been informed that I was paying for Microsoft’s law bills before I switched over to OS X and Linux. Now that I know this information, I’m glad I took the leap, regardless of if other software adds this in as well. The fact that the richest man in... Continue reading
Subtitles to go with the Subtitle-Reading Glasses
It’s super hard for people with hearing problems to have any fun at movie theaters or the like without there being someone narrating the whole audio component of the film. The Subtitle-Reading Glasses aims to give access to subtitles even for movies with no subtitles on the screen. The gadget snaps onto the frame of glasses to display subtitles from the device. To get this gizmo to work, movie theaters would have subtitle “projectors” that would wirelessly sync subtitles with... Continue reading
