Broken gadgets suck, especially when it’s an iPod. All of a sudden you find yourself walking to the subway sans tunes. The train ride gets longer, sights become more boring and overall, the ride sucks. Luckily, there is hope.

If you live in NYC, give Demetrios Leontaris a call. This sly Greek will roll over to your pad to fix your iPod, Zune, Macbook or any other gadget that is acting up. He recently got a write-up in Fortune, so you know he’s legit and not trying to sell you a “sweet deal on DirecTV.”

So, the HyMini might be much ado about nothing, but it’s still pretty impressive and potentially a great idea for green integration in the future. Dubbed as a “mini green hybrid power station”, you charge the HyMini up from a main. When you go out for a bike or car-ride, attach the little guy to your vehicle, and the wind turbines will trickle charge your device.

You can even add a solar panel on for more of a power managing effect. To move the turbines enough, you have to be traveling at least 9 mph, and 40 mph at the fastest, lest you break the chintzy gadget in half with pure velocity. Ports for most cameras, phones, and other mobile devices are available. Get yours for $49.99. (more…)

We were under the impression that the idea of camping was to become better associated with nature and the elements. Not that we would know, since we haven’t been outside since the early 90’s for fear of that Mad Cow we hear so much about. The Tent Ceiling Fan And Light from Coleman provides you a little home hospitality inside of your nature abode.

If you’re camping in a cold climate, the Tent Ceiling Fan probably won’t be of much benefit unless you want to blow the frigid air at yourself quicker. But at least the built-in light will allow you to watch your limbs succumb to frost bite, instead of just feeling the intense pain. Get your own for $26. — Andrew Dobrow

Let’s face it. As we get older, are grasp on our memory fades. Whether it be because of an early on-set of Alzheimer’s or  just because we’re bored with seeing the same old thing everyday, we start to notice less than we did when we were younger.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a pair of goggles which records everything you see, identifies objects, and creates a searchable video database of the troubles you’ve seen. The Cyber Goggles transmit a live video feed to your computer, and then analyzes the images with a ultrahigh-speed image recognition processing software, then creates the database after distinguishing objects. This could really come in handy for those who misplace their keys and gadgets all of the time. — Andrew Dobrow

Way to go and steal other peoples ideas and enlarging them a few hundred times, Philips. Do you really want to be the Carlos Mencia of gadgets? The huge touch-sensitive LED Wall is being shown as an attraction at Mercy Medical Center in Rogers, Arkansas.

The LED Wall is a 14 foot long creation which holds more than 1,400 LED bulbs which respond to touch. So, it’s pretty much a incredibly large Lite Brite set. And we thought we had rid ourselves of those damn light pegs. — Andrew Dobrow

If you’re not the DIY type, then the project we told you about a while ago which helps you declutter your desk isn’t going to do much good. And if you have a crap load of wires, then a small aid like the diminutive Wall Cleats won’t help much either. For a cable tangle of super-sized caliber, the Spacestation is called to duty.

The Spacestation’s ingenious design not only cleans up all of your cables, but acts as a USB hub for all of your gadgets. Keeping all of your computers connections neat and plugged at the same time. (more…)

The One Man series of gadgets is a favorite of ours, but wow, the things time can change. Not so long ago we talked about One Man Stuck, which featured One Man (also known as Mr. P) with a penis large enough to act as a wine cork (pretty huge for his size in relation), yet One Mac Shy has to cover his head in shame because of his dinky winky.

His small (ahem) lamp switch most have either of had a catastrophic accident, or wine bottles make him extremely aroused. Get your own One Man Shy for $99. — Andrew Dobrow

What is it with torture that makes the “One Man” series of gadgets so alluring. One Man Tied was a bondage-themed cable organizer, and now we have the penial wine stopper, One Man Stuck.

I can’t help but be slightly jealous of this man’s extremely large member. Here I am with barely a portabella mushroom, and there he is with an extension that’s larger than his whole body. What an asshole. — Andrew Dobrow

Screw water. There, I said it. If it weren’t for the fact that us you humans need water to survive, we would surely despise the stuff. Always getting inside of our gadgets and causing problems. Psh. Whatevz. For all of you solo pirates out there, Pyle has put together their Seadoo with a full media center, made for wave riding.

If it weren’t for the fact that we get seasick, or that we haven’t left our home since 1982, we would be very compelled to take to the high seas, maybe even get ourselves an eye patch, a wooden leg, and perhaps a minor case of scurvy, just so we can feel at home in the Seadoo media vessel. The Seadoo features a 17-inch LCD (rear), a 13-inch LCD (front), a DVD player, 10 speakers, 3 amplifiers, and 3 subwoofers. And hopefully a spatula for peeling your ass out of the thing. Though it can’t go sub-sea. — Andrew Dobrow

We’re sure you remember your days as a tot, when crossing the street meant a manly woman dressed in crossing guard garb and a suicide run across a yellow ladder pedestrian line. School Zone is a concept crosswalk that hopes to improve on safety and design for both children and drivers.

The School Zone has an elevated platform design which allows drivers to more easily spot children as they cross (hopefully its not some psycho that is TRYING to run down children) while also providing a speed bump-like ascent. Each School Zone has LEDs that correspond to crosswalk signals, informing pedestrians that they only have a certain amount of time to cross, and letting them know when they should wait it out. — Andrew Dobrow
