Developing for the iPhone can make you rich, but it can also come with unseen difficulties, including rejection from the App Store. This can be a bummer after investing time and money into developing your app, which is why developer Loren Brichter probably felt like shit when Apple rejected his Twitter app, Tweetie. Apple cited “foul language” as the reason for the rejection which caused Loren to raise hell since he has no control over what people do on Twitter.... Continue reading

If there’s one thing we go ga-ga over here at Gearfuse, it’s a kickass set of LEGOs. This Watchmen set? No exception. It was created by Jordan Schwartz and the neat thing is, each character is made from original LEGO parts. That’s right. No hand-painted nonsense here, folks. Just good ol’ fashioned tinkering with LEGOs. I’m personally a fan of the Comedian and Rorschach – they look the most like the original comic. Hit the link to view Jordan’s Flickr...

I really have to lay off the news from Akihabara and Tokyo. Every time I write about something that’s from Japan, it’s usually disgusting, weird or downright wrong. Here we have a robot that acts as a teacher for first graders in Japan. It can speak various languages, take attendance, and has over 18 motors for controlling facial expressions. Creepy? I think so. How are you going to ask it a question? What if a first grader doesn’t understand a... Continue reading

That’s right. I want to see you in the heat of the moment. A sliver of time so passionate, that liquids unknown spill freely into the air. Know who else wants to see your “O” face? Three Olives vodka. The booze maker set up a website using Facebook Connect that allows you to show off your best “O” face. Now I know what you’re thinking: why would you want to do this? Oh, no reason…. At the conclusion of the... Continue reading

Even those of you who are more compelled to play with handheld gadgets (and bodily appendages) will not be able to take your eyes off of the incredible Spanish miracle which is the Tramontana R-edition. Utilizing aeronautical technology within a brute Formula 1 race car, the R-edition can go from 0-60 mph in about 3.6 seconds, and looks like it could get to the moon in about the same amount of time if one so desired. Only 12 Tramontana R-edition’s... Continue reading

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to save the Earth. These 60 Bags are an awesome line of biodegradable carriers which degrade in about two months, or 60 days. Aptly titled, huh? Made and developed in Poland, the bags are manufactured out of a flax-viscose non-woven fabric (which actually sounds pretty edible if you happened to be on a desert island with only a crate of these things, but just in case, I’d test it on a...

Sure, the Wii might be the worst damn console in history according to our very official and scientific calculations. But the Nintendo gaming platform must have its fans out there somewhere, right? So, for all three of you at the Pleasantville Senior Rest Home, we’ve got a real treat for you and your saggy-diapered, Wiimote-wielding asses. Pimped out with an array of 20,000 crystals, this $4,000 shitbox Wii is covered in shiny Mario gayness goodness, with possibly the faggiest depiction... Continue reading

This one time, at band camp, I stuck a USB cord in my iMac. It downloaded pictures from my digital camera. Mmmm, yeah. Downloading. A real USB “key” Waiting for 4G?

If Terminators and Skynet take over Earth, at least you’ll have a laptop that will stand up to them. The Dell E6400 XFR is the latest “toughbook” to hit the market and boy is it ugly. That’s OK, though, because you’re buying this for usability, not design and portability. Inside this ugly beast, you’ll find a decent set of specs including an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 256MB of nVidia Quadro 160M graphics and a big 14.1″ display. Not bad,... Continue reading
