Master Lock claims that 4-percent of all robberies are due to iPod thefts, so why not slap a bike lock on it? You just spent your entire month’s allowance on that brand new iPod Touch. Now, you’re looking for a lock so you can hang it up on any street post to force the general public into listening to whatever it is you listen to nowadays.

You’ll be dismayed to know that Master Lock’s iCage, the metal case that secures your iPod to a fixed object, is only designed for the 4GB and 8GB iPod Nano at $14.99 and iPod Classic models at $19.99 per lock. The latest Apple gear won’t fit into this. What a bummer.

Israeli company Linceus is introducing a monorail robot designed to patrol large areas such as airport perimeters/Gaza Strip without the need to hire rent-a-cops for security. The bot is capable of reaching speeds up to 50 MPH.  It’s equipped with an array of sensors such as thermal cameras, laser designators and a rangefinder.

It’s a damn shame it doesn’t have an arsenal of killer weapons but it does feature some nonlethal alternatives: a high powered spotlight, loud sirens and other gadgets to spook would-be vandals.  If only Disneyworld had one of these when I took a shit on the Epcot Monorail.

A banana is the best fruit for lazy people, you don’t have to wash it and you don’t need any tools to peel the skin. The annoying thing about bananas is that they’re so prone to bruising. Even the slightest bump can turn your banana dark, you won’t always be able to pick that up from the outside, but give it a couple of days and it’ll turn nasty. With that in mind, somebody invented the Banana Guard, now with version 2.0- improvements! The shape can now fit more bananas with normal variation, the hinges the locks are all re-designed to be more secure. The banana guard sells for around 7USD and is available in most parts of the world, you can check out the local availability at their website. — Sam Chan
