The perfect gift for your forum trolling friends who can’t help but type in all caps when trying to prove a point. Go ahead troll, push that caps lock key in. You’ll only be met with piercing pain as your fingers are punctured by two spikes, just like the Prince of Persia’s body after a deadly fall.
Let’s all contribute to the Internet and learn how to shout at people with hateful words rather than large letters. If you’re incapable; Ctrl Alt Del yourself out of existence.
Either I’m on some awesome drugs that I don’t know about or the Russian artists who designed this oversized iPod are. OK, I just gave myself a blood test; I’m sober. That means that both Aristarkh Chernyshev and Alexei Shulgin are out of their skulls for crafting this large, warped, fully-functional iPod.
It looks like they put a giant iPod in a brick oven then, once it was well done, connected some 500 XL speakers to it. I can’t imagine the purpose of this thing besides a conversation piece while you shout over the loud music coming through it. That is, if you can get around the tiring effort you’d have to put forth while simply looking for a song. Count me out.

In light of this coming Sunday’s Handcar Regatta, a race of human-powered rail-track creations, the team over at Almost Scientific have created a ginormous 10 feet tall 10 feet wide hamster wheel they’re calling the Lumbering Contraption. What purpose does it serve? Well, it controls a slew of doohickeys that mobilize a giant nose picking machine. Weird, right? If only we could use human-sized hamster wheels.
I’m always rambling on about a Rock N’ Roll Pizzeria but that doesn’t have shit on a vending machine that will serve you piping-hot fresh pizza. Did I say fresh? OK so that was a total lie but it’s still portable pizza. Unfortunately, the pizza is Tombstone brand which usually tends to fail my personal taste test. And by taste test I mean scarfing down food when I’m drunk.
What city could possibly have a deep-dish pizza vending machine? Houston, Texas, baby. Those fat fucks down there probably hit up that shit up for breakfast lunch and dinner. BARF!
Finally a controller only the great Andre the Giant could comfortably handle. Inspired directly by Kyle Downes’ NES coffee table, Matt LaBoone worked all summer on this impressively gigantic SNES controller. I can’t imagine having a group of friends sitting around this thing each contributing their part to one button as they mash away while playing Street Fighter 2.
Chinese phone companies are amazing, after ripping off Porsche they’re going after Microsoft today… but this time it really deserves some attention. First off it houses a 3″ QVGA touch screen in a 17mm thin body, booo Nokia. Secondly it has stereo speakers, booo SonyEricsson; but seriously we’re starting to feel sorry for Microsoft, their Vista sold only 244 copies and their UI was ripped off by Meizu, now we have this “Window” phone…
This is so 1960s mentality but wouldn’t it be great to record all your radio programs on to a huge harddisk? Olympus might have the answer for you, their new Radio Server VJ-10 tunes AM/FM radios and have a reasonably good pair of 28mm unit stereo speakers with SRS WOW XT technologies, the most important part is the built-in 37GB harddisk that can save up to 2500 hours of radio programs in WMA format. Line-in voice recording and standard 3.5mm headphone jack are all there. The USB 2.0 port makes it possible for you to transfer music (MP3/WMA) from your computer and have them played on the VJ-10, so it’s not a bad deal afterall. The version with 6-month worth of NHK English language program pre-install will be priced at 400USD, and the one without would be 350USD. –Sam Chan
