Buy the Bumblebee: Transformers prop up for auction

How cool would it be to own a piece of the long-awaited Transformers movie? Very cool, of course. Thanks to the wonders of eBay, the genuine ’77 Chevy Camaro which was used as a prop for Bumblebee is up for auction, with the price currently at $30,100 and 76 bids. This auction will probably come down to a bidding war at the end, as most collectibles do. It will no doubt be super expensive by its closing in two days,... Continue reading

You know it’s the weekend when we post about straight jackets for babies

Ok, this baby wrap might not be an actual straight jacket, but it might as well be. That baby isn’t going anywhere. How’s the baby going to reach for its beer? These baby wraps are supposed to comfort the baby, making it feel more like it’s in the comfort of its mother’s womb, rather than the bowling alley you decided to cart the baby off too. The cool thing about this though is that these baby wraps are 100% organic,... Continue reading

Sideways Bike mixes up the old “facing forward” tradition of riding

Billions of people ride bicycles. Millions ride them daily. Yet, there has been relatively little change in its design for the 200 years it’s been commonly used. This design by Michaels Killian revamps the age old method of forward facing bike riding and creates the Sideways Bike. Other than the clear fact that it looks unique and extreme, riding the bike looks like it’s a blast too. We wonder if we too can grow a mustache of such beautiful proportions... Continue reading

Sit down to a USB-chilled brew

Cool gadget aficionado’s Brando have given us such classics as the USB heated mouse and the USB Mini Fridge. Next up is the USB Can Cooler. This new design features a wrap around body, compared to the standalone plate the previous version used. The new design helps ensure your beverage is completely surrounded by your temperature of choice, either hot or cold. The USB cable includes a special toggle switch for switching between the two temperatures. Feel like making your... Continue reading

Add your own ringtone to your iPhone: Heh, that kinda rhymes

The inability for iPhone users to add their own custom ringtones is something that has been plaguing men since the dawn of time (dawn of time for the iPhone that is.) So now it’s time for us to hack our iPhones, well, at least those of us who own Intel Macs. Hack The iPhone has put together a cool tutorial on how to have your own tunes blaring through the awkwardly placed speakers. Does anyone else ever notice how when... Continue reading

Hands-free video recording: So, uhh, what to do with these hands?

This cool concept design would bring us one step closer to living in a Star Trek-esque world, if only it were a real device. The hands-free recorder fits around the back of your neck, recording every sight and sound that you might see or hear. A big worry might be how much memory a camera like this would have. The answer? Absolutely none. The device transmits the video directly to your computer wirelessly in real time. Something like this would... Continue reading

World’s fastest internet connection owned by 75-year-old woman

How unfair is this? Some 75-year-old woman is lucky enough to have a son who’s a big shot in the internet business, so she gets the fastest internet in the world. Jeez, she’s going to use it with her foot on the break anyway. Sigbritt Löthberg is now the lucky owner of 40 Gbit/second pipe, which is capable of downloading a DVD in under one second. If you want another comparison, that’s like holding 1500 high def video streams all... Continue reading

Your body, the speed demon: The Ferrari Unica Home Gym

Personally, I like to stick to anything endorsed by Chuck Norris, which is why I use the Total Gym (blink, showcases, asks for advertising money). Though people who live and die by the sleek style of Ferrari cars will go ga-ga for the Ferrari Unica gym, a home gym system styled after the Ferrari sports car. Every piece of the gym is themed directly after the car, down to its leather upholstery. The Unica offers an outlet for 25 different... Continue reading

The Pop-Up Couch needs no spam blocker

People who are low on living space, which I believe is most of us, probably don’t have the room for cool couches and other types of furniture. The Flat-Pack Couch is a cool way to optimize your realm by only having a couch when it’s necessary. Or even times when it’s not necessary if you’re feeling like a naughty little space stealer. The couch not only is sprung from a minuscule amount of girth, but can also fit a crap... Continue reading

Science creates the bionic man

In 1995, Peng Shulin was in a catastrophic accident. As a result of this accident, Peng’s body was cut in half by a truck, and yet, he miraculously survived. After being bed-ridden for over a decade, Peng has been given a second chance at walking with a new bionic suit made by the fine people at the China Rehabilitation Research Center in Beijing. Using an egg-shaped frame, Peng is learning how to walk again with a whole new device and... Continue reading
