Surfing gear company Quicksilver has released some info about their design of a concept phone. While this phone probably isn’t supposed to be used while surfing, the Pacman-like two tone design is pretty cool indeed. Though that display looks pretty worrisome. Only half of the screen shows when the phone is closed, and if you shut the phone too hard ...

This year I’ve decided to be a RPG style dwarf for Halloween (mostly because I couldn’t think of a way to be a Tauren or a Death Knight), including a dwarf mask called Motorhead, and a cool looking fake sword. Though I probably should have put more thought into it, like these guys. I don’t know about you, but I ...

Looking for a slightly less masochistic way to take control of your wires than the One Man Tied hook? This Wall Cleat is an innovative design that allows for your loose, unplugged cables to be wrapped around two projected tabs that extend from the outlet. A simple gadget like Wall Cleats means you don’t have to buy an outlet, plus ...

If Evel Knievel had known about something like this Lifebag, who knows how many more brain cells he’d have left. Made for those into extreme sports (and possibly for those little bus riding helmet wearers I use to make fun of in school), the Lifebag is manually deployed, much like a parachute, producing a 150-liter shield in less than three ...

Excuse the gutter speak, but I think prostitutes ought to have a little fun with Halloween too. Being a long time street walker, I just might make it a point of mine to make sure some of my tricks get a special treat this year. These Costumed Condoms are sure to get some laughs. If you’re not a bad little ...

Boynq, why oh why must you taunt us with your simplistic geometric beauty. We’d promised ourselves (and the devil) we would not post anymore about every run of the mill iPod dock (sorry Sony) that was announced, but then again, the Boynq Wake Up is in no way average. And even if it was, the design is sexy enough to ...

If you’re feeling a bit guilty about playing such havoc on your iPhone by adding third-party apps (or just don’t fear Apple might add in a secret self-destruct feature for jailbreak’d phones), here’s a tool that can reintroduce your iPhone to its original virgin state. The iPhone Elite dev team has developed an application that will restore your iPhone back ...

Much talked about robotic toy dinosaur Pleo seems to already have picked out his Halloween costume this year. This season, he’s opted for a softer look, dressing in his finest wools. Actually, this is the result of an experiment performed by Ugobe to see if Pleo would still react to touch and carry on his normal behavior if he were ...

Designed by Dominic Wilcox as part of his New Work collection, these Anti-Theft Sticker Tattoos make your car look like they are already on the verge of rusting over. These tats use the same theory as these Fake Spill Seat Savers, by making a wanted commodity less appealing. Just place them at strategic points and the car is automatically less ...

If you are one of those people who collects rainwater to save on utility output, you know that the barrels typically used are large and unsightly. This Eco-Sac, or as we have come to call it, Eco-Bladder, is a flexible eco-friendly rainwater storage unit. The Eco-Sac can fit nice and snug under a patio, deck, or floor and are made ...
