Netbooks aren’t the hardware midgets some might suggest. Ok, well they aren’t speed demons typically, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t several full PC games you can play right on your minuscule internet box. Liliputing put together a list of five PC games you can play right on your netbook. And they are:

1. Torchlight
2. Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords
3. Sins of a Solar Empire
4. Trials 2 Second Edition
5. World of Warcraft

That’s right, as long as your netbook has 1 GB of RAM and you don’t mind playing with the effects settings at their lowest possible settings (which you’d be hard pressed to tell a difference anyway considering the netbook’s tiny display) you can actually play the full-version of World of Warcraft right from your netbook. Head over to Liliputing for more in-depth info.

The CoffinPet concept provides the environmentally-conscious pet with a 100% biodegradable to rest in piece. When it’s time for a pet to lay down their will and power of attorney, they’ll thank you generously for providing such a thoughtful place for their bodies to be dumped and quickly replaced.

Of course, if you keep your pet in shape, you won’t have to worry about owning one of these for a while.

A few days ago, geohat released his updated Blackra1n app which promised a 30-second jailbreak for all of the Apple touch devices. Some people, including myself, had some issues with the updated app, some reporting that the app left their device stalled in restore mode. The Dev-Team has released their slightly-less user friendly, albeit more reliable, PwnageTool 3.1.4 for jailbreaking all 3.1.2 updated devices.

Even with the Force at your back it’s hard to stay cool, calm and collected when you’re battling the dark side. Your hands WILL get sweaty and slippage might occur. The Lightsaber Glove holster saves you from embarrassing lightsaber fumbles.

This Lightsaber Glove Holster advertisement is prnted on a t-shirt, so it definitly exists somewhere. T-shirts never lie. Ever. And as you can see, it’s Yoda and Obi Won approved.

If I didn’t live in a cardboard box I might consider installing some sort of monorail system which could easily transport me around my vast estate. Since I’m such an awesomely eco-friendly guy, my monorail system would be totally pedal-powered. No motor needed.

The Shweeb is exactly that. An awkwardly named pedal-powered monorail system which simultaneously saves the Earth and tightens your buttocks. Since you’re on a track, there’s no reason why you can’t freely use your phone while getting from point A to point B, which sounds just snazzy to me.

Ranking near the top of my “shit I didn’t know i wanted, but now need” list is an awesome Steampunk-style Lightsaber currently being auctioned off on eBay. The metal-constructed saber was constructed by a prop professional, so the quality is likely very high.

With a Buy It Now price of $124.99, the Steampunk Lightsaber is actually really reasonable. Finally, a weapon you can use with your Darth Vader gas mask. Hit the jump for more steamy photos.

The very Pacman-esque O! Cap is a eco-friendly bulb cap which provides a calming color and fragrance. The scented silicon O! Cap comes in an assortment of colors and fragrances including: orange with mandarin aroma, green with lemongrass aroma or purple with cherry blossom aroma. The scent is emitted after fake Packy is placed over an eco-friendly bulb.

Screw the scent and the bulb. I just really dig the Pacman resemblance. Wakka wakka.

Quiksilver is known for producing quality surf-related products and fashions. The latest watch to come from the California-based company features retro-styling that pays tribute to the looks of the 1970s. The Ray features real ebony wood and a beautiful face that resembles a Ford Mustang’s odometer. No battery is required thanks to 27 jewel automatic movement. I don’t know what that means but I assume it’s some Aladdin-type shit where you wish for riches and 27 jewels drop out of your watch.

Stylish surf attire doesn’t come cheap, though. Only 1000 Rays will be made and they’ll be sold for a rather expensive $495. Luxury, brah!

Designer Marcus Tremonto crafts these wicked DIY sconces out of strands of illuminated wire which he pokes through glossy sheets of acrylic. The result is this 3-D illusion of a lamp that almost appears as if it isn’t hanging from a wall.

These light fixtures are eco-friendly as well, with each one operating with cool-burning electroluminescent wire. Tremonto doesn’t just stick to making lamp shapes, either. He also wires up chandelier-looking sconces and other abstract shapes. It’s a shame they’re in limited supply; this one would be perfect for my dojo.

Powering jet planes with eco-friendly biofuels such as algae has been done before and yet, I’m still being charged an arm and a leg by the airline companies who are still stuck in the past, burning up high emission jet fuels. Deep down in my heart I have always known that marijuana is not only a powerful medicine, but that hemp oil is also a useful and renewable energy source. Just ask DuPont.

Come early December, Air New Zealand will have a Boeing 747 fly off, powered by a new type of jet fuel made from marijuana. A mixture of both biofuel and conventional fuel will run one of the plane’s engines and the developers of the biofuel, UOP, are hoping it will cut down on carbon-dioxide emissions. They’re also hoping it will get everyone on board high as a kite.
