Just because your mom used to collect all of those kitschy magnets on the family fridge doesn’t mean all magnets should be burned in a fiery pit. In fact, these Xbox 360 controller magnets could find themselves holding an honorable spot on my fridge.
Each set is $20, so it’ll hardly make a huge dent in your pocket. But it might offer a considerable boost to your dating life. Geeky chicks love this kind of crap.
Can’t wait for the Watchmen to come out in theaters? Me either. Support Warner Bros. and FOX’s war chest by purchasing these sweet Watchmen-inspired magnets. You’ll find the Comedian, Nite Owl, Rorschach, Silk Spectre, Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias. All for $5 per set? Not too shabby. Who watches the Watchmen? Easy: Your fridge.
We’ve explored numerous shower designs on Gearfuse, but this is the first time we’ve seen one that uses magnetism to stay put. That’s right; the FreeiFlow Shower attaches to your wall via a magnet built inside the shower head and a metal-infused shower wall. Quite luxurious I must say. No wonder it won the 2008 Bathroom Innovation Award. Too bad it’ll cost a boatload of money when it goes into production, buy hey, a nice bathroom is a nice bathroom.
Love played out Internet memes? Of course you do! Why not drop your hard earned cash on these LOLmagnets from ThinkGeek? At $20, you’ll only have to take 4 or 5 showers to wash off all the shame you’ll encounter from purchasing these. You’ll get a ridiculous LOLspeak manual and 384 “words” to spell out kooky catch phrases with.
CAN WE HAZ STOOPID MEME END NOW? KTHXBAI.
I don’t own an iPod Shuffle and at this point, I should really get one for jogging and riding my bike. I’d get an arm-band for my 30GB 5G iPod but let’s get real and agree that they’re retarded-looking. You could even say they make you look “full retard.” So with those options out, what’s a guy to do?
Try iStik. Stupid name, great idea – unless you’re wearing a pacemaker. Using neodymium magnets and a plastic casing, you essentially slide the magnets under your shirt and place the case on the outside. Opposites attract and presto – you’ve got yourself a wearable iPod case. Right now, iStik is available for the iPod Nano for $25, so I’ll leave it up to you to decide if it’s worth the cash. For $25 more, you can score a Shuffle!
Silence can be so uncomfortable. Even when you’re chilling with friends, there’s that awkward silence that is deafening with its nothingness. Otto (Greek for “ear”) is a device which you can hook up to just about any dynamic object or situation to hear sounds that are otherwise inaudible.
Otto then amplifies the sound, creating a whole new ambient experience. For example, hook Otto up to a glass of water and drift into the noise of ice clinking together and liquid motion. A combination of suctions and magnets allows Otto to be hooked to just about anything. (more…)
If I could have sex with a concept design, this would be the one I would choose. Simple, effective, productive, and sleek are all words which perfectly explain this MacTab tablet design concept from Yann Le Coroller.
The MacTab is an ultra-portable, and we mean VERY ultra-portable looking design which integrates a tablet display with a razor thin keyboard. When not in use the keyboard acts as protection for the display, pretty much like a notebook. The keyboard stays in place with a series of magnets and notches. It’s like the Kate Moss of tablets. Except, ya know, not drugged and lifeless or married to a druggy indie rocker. (more…)
We know most guys don’t have a knack for interior design as the ladies do. Trust us, we’ve been there. Since the boss wouldn’t take too kindly to your pin-up girl calendar, you might want to give this cool looking gizmo a try. Much like time, the Perpetual Calendar never stops moving, as you might have been able to tell from its name. It also looks a lot more classy than a Dilbert peel off calendar.
The Perpetual Calendar has two magnetic balls (much like Chuck Norris) which mark off the date and month on the calendar display. Modeled from injection-molded plastic and magnets, the Perpetual Calendar is a unique alternative to the norm. Available now for $38. — Andrew Dobrow
All divrocee’s….RUN! No, but seriously this thing is frightening. ThinkGeek has this, um, interesting Knife Holder. It could be used as either a Valentine’s Day gag gift (for next year, of course) or an ultra serious gift. Expect very different reactions depending on who you give it too.
The five razor sharp knives included in this set are impaling this poor sunburned man. Not only that, but someone has implanted magnets in his body so that he can’t take the knives out with his own will. Oh, the agony! Pick one up for $69.99. The Ex- Knife Holder ironicly comes with a 25 year warranty. — Andrew Dobrow
