Sharp is not a major player in the phone industry outside Japan, but it has definitely attracted a sizable group of cult followers. However the company has not been launching any high-end phones since more than 2 years ago (Sharp 903/ SX833/ WX-T91), well this is about to change this year. Earlier this month FCC has given go-ahead to a ...

Green power generation isn’t easy for large buildings. Some high-powered businesses, such as casinos and office buildings, would need a solar power grid the size of Rhode Island (the smallest state, but come on). The Revolution Door adds a turbine to the revolving door of power hungry businesses. As people come and go through the doors, power is generated. Might ...

Even if you’re not a fan of the wine with fruit floating in it, speakers made from sangria jugs are a pretty unique idea for some drunken musical entertainment. Wino Carlo Rossi has created the Sangria Sound System for your alcoholic pleasure.

Speaking of Star Wars oddities, check out this toy spotted on Ebay. Most of us have seen the family holiday favorite, How The Grinch Stole Christmas. But not many of us have seen the less known How The Darth Maul Stole Christmas. Actually, we’re quite sure it doesn’t even exist. If you have $25 extra bucks, you can own your ...

Looking very much like one of those translating/portable dictionary devices from yesteryear, the SIM Card Manager is actually a lot more useful than you’re led to believe from its appearance. Offering the sexiness of a full QWERTY keypad, the device can save 3 different SIM card phone number databases on its on-board storage, providing you with a back-up plan unless ...

If you still find yourself walking like an Egyptian when you hear a dance-worthy song, it’s time to consider yourself being out of the times. Not that donning a pair of Mario slippers will make you any more hip (actually they’ll more than likely have the reverse effect). But damn, if they aren’t the coolest mushroom themed slippers ever. — ...

While it looks to be as easy as strapping a stethoscope to a stick, the Neighbor Rod is a tool used for looking creepy and eavesdropping on your friends, family, and neighbors, without them being any the wiser to your intentions. Oddly enough, the Neighbor Rod can also be used to knock on the wall, we guess to ask for ...

What happens in Rainbow Six, stays in Rainbow Six, or at least Tom Clancy would have us believe. With decked halls of LEDs illuminating the Rainbow Six Vegas strip, the PS3 is cleverly disguised as a high rise casino. We’ve seen some pretty elaborate console mods in our day, including one soaked in fake (we assume) blood, but this is ...

Back in the days of dial-up, there was nothing worse than waiting ten minutes for an image to load, only to see the dreaded broken image logo. We’re sure many of computer monitors have been smashed to bits for this very reason. The Broken Image Necklace charm lies right near your heart, showing people that you are either lonely or ...

When we got our first Walkman for Christmas we were so damn excited. We slipped in our Green Day Insomniac cassette, maybe followed with a little Ace Of Base, and just listened for hours in our Grandma’s rocking chair. A cool mod project can retrofy your modern gadgets to experience the same excitement as you had with the ancient ones, ...
