The iPod Touch is great for people who want an iPhone-like interface, but what about those of us who love the original “iPod Classic” look and feel, but want some sort of modern advancement?

Details aside, we would gobble this phone down faster than a Pitapocket. We’re a little disappointed that the Hamburger Phone isn’t wireless and we’re even more upset that it isn’t edible, but I guess you ...

Using the Jet Wing is about as close as you can get to solo flight without the aid of physical mutation. Jet Wing is a personal flying apparatus which will keep you ...

All it takes to make a sick Sci-Fi adventure is some recycling prowess. We could so see these masks used in a motion picture.

Using emoticons and code, these pieces of art are much easier to admire, being a geek, than ever before. Art snobs beware, as this might make you feel a ...

Silence can be so uncomfortable. Even when you’re chilling with friends, there’s that awkward silence that is deafening with its nothingness. Otto (Greek for “ear”) is a device which you can hook up to just about any dynamic object or situation to hear sounds that are otherwise inaudible. Otto then amplifies the sound, creating a whole new ambient experience. For ...

Everybody who grew up in the late ’80s or early ’90s has owned a slap bracelet at one point in their life. And if they didn’t, they were most likely “L” to the “-osers”. If these E-Paper Slap Bracelets ever get to see the light of day, you, or at least your children, might get the chance to be too ...

Wong. James Wong. Or so we imagine, some Asian “James Bond-esque” spy using this Gum Wrapper Camera to gather information about a crime organization. The little spy camera is made to fit into an empty gum wrapper, to disguise your true espionage identity. The little gadget records both video and audio, recording the media onto MicroSD card. If the criminal ...
