Turn Your Flat Screen TV Into an iPad

While Apple is getting all sorts of heat for their faulty design and software issues of the iPhone 4, the iPad remains a fallback excuse for what makes Apple just so Apple-y. It’s slick, it’s smooth, it’s edible, it’s quick and maybe most important, it’s fun. In fact, the iPad is such a success that other companies are starting to cash-in on the seemingly never ending cash cow. Russian design group DarkDesignGroup created their iTVPad, a set of plastic covers... Continue reading

DVD Rewinder: An Indispensable Gadget

I’m not quite sure how my household would get along without this DVD Rewinder, a truly necessary gadget in any man serious about his media. I despise receiving DVDs from Netflix, only to find that they haven’t been properly rewound. I do not care to see the middle of a film before I’ve seen the beginning. It’s almost as irritating as being forced to eat unrewound toast. The DVD Rewinder works on all 6 disc regions, Blu-Ray and even Playstation... Continue reading

Baby’s First Cubicle: Being Honest with Your Kids

I’m a realist. I’m not going to promise my kid they can do whatever they want, because in reality, they’re likely never going to grow wings out of their asshole and fly. And even more realistic, they’ll almost positively never be President of the United States. I’d say the asshole wings have better odds then that. So I’ve decided that my kid will have their very own Young Explorer workstation by Little Tikes. Costing around $2,600, baby’s first cubicle is... Continue reading

TV Poltergeist is a little device that you can hide in your living room that will automatically turn the power to the TV off and on every 5-20 minutes or so, leading your friends and family to believe that your home has been barraged by a...

Blockbuster Signs Deal With Warner Bros. to Get New Releases on Actual Release Day

For the past two months or so, Netflix has been delaying the shipment of many Warner Bros. new releases by 28 days, a new mandate installed by the production company in order to allegedly provide a better user experience. Well, Netflix users should be enraged to see that Blockbuster signed a deal that allows them to both ship to their online customers and rent out their movies at their remaining brick and mortar outlets on the day of the actual...

The Computer Bong: Hardware You Can Smoke

Somebody’s finally up and done it. The YaHookah is a computer (or at least what used to be described as a computer) you can literally smoke, smoke until you’re damn near dead. And the creator didn’t stop there. He was generous enough to write up a step-by-step DIY project over at Instructables, so you can be smoking from the comfort of your own computer in as little as a few hours. I’m not sure what the difference is between a... Continue reading
