One thing that holds the iPod back from completely taking over the media player market is its inability to keep a charge for more than a few hours. The MSI MS-5552 is a Bluetooth enabled MP3 player that offers 50 hours of continuous playback using only one AAA battery. Along with the massive playing time, the MS-5552 isn’t to bad ...

Marriage is a beautiful thing. Especially between a robot and a man. And even more especially when the robot is carrying the man soldier bride? Ok, well we tried to make this image funny, but in all seriousness, it’s great to see a robot in action, rather than lifting human sized bags of sand dummies. This particular robot, named Bear, ...

Mmm, more Computex stuff. The MSI GX600 is being dubbed the world’s first Turbobook. Why, you might ask, would they call it a Turbobook? Well, what about the neat little overclock button that kicks the CPU speed up a notch when your computer is in AC mode (and by notch we mean 20%) for when you really need your computer ...

You might think that this “game” looks slightly odd, and maybe a tad on the perverted side. But nope, it’s just Japanese. The newly announced Kazoku Minna de Nippon Shiatsushi Kai Kanshuu Rakuraku Shiatsu Nabi DS game teaches you the finer points of shiatsu massage. Yes, we know. Long name. If we could make it more elegant we would. The ...

Via presented its itty bitty ITX motherboard over at Computex, and as you can see, even compared to the already miniature RAZR phone, the board is like the dwarf of phone hardware. The new motherboard from Via is planned to be integrated into x86 smartphones, so we could be seeing some much smaller cells pretty soon. This 3 x 1.8 ...

Old or fried hard drives have no productive use as far as we could tell. They’re one of the only pieces of hardware that haven’t been thoroughly modded and recycled into new coolness. That is until Etsy took the case with the Hard Drive Clock. Standing at 5.75 inches X 4 inches wide, the clock comes with a base stand ...

It’s a fact. Men like us are hairy monsters. At least, real men are! The problem is, our lady friends aren’t too fond of our back hair. You have your occasional fetishist, but typically, women would much rather rub smooth skin than feel like they’re in bed with a grizzly bear. The iShave allows men to shave their own backs ...

Talk about an epic automobile! This Mercedes M-Class is decked out with an epic-style mural which screams out proudly “The owner of this car is a nerd!”. Painted with some unidentifiable epic theme, it might not put the class in M-Classs, but it sure as hell puts the nerd in, ummm, car buyer. The car’s owner lives in St. Petersburg, ...

Nowadays, you can get almost anything Hello Kitty-themed. It reminds of how the Kiss Army was in the late 70’s. Everything was emblazoned with Gene Simmons’ mug. The NEC LaVie G Laptop is disgustingly laced with girly thingamabobs, with Hello Kitty playing a starring roll. Not only is the LaVie as pink as a laptop can get (not even neon, ...

We have no idea why Sony is taking such a snobby position with PS3 Home, but they sound like total snots when describing the rules and etiquette of the social interface for the console. They say they are attempting to keep Home “accessible to everyone” by putting certain limitations on the attire your avatar can wear. “If everyone’s walking around ...
