Hey! You! Yes! All five of you! Come here. I have some good news for you. So remember when you guys all went and bought 30GB Zunes awhile back? Well I know they’re out of warranty now and all, but I just got this great tip from a friend. It seems Microsoft is going to let you trade in that ...

Skateboarders and gamers alike probably all got a nice wet dream when Tony Hawk RIDE was first announced. Now that they’ve wiped up, there’s a new reason to keep that beach towel handy. The game has been priced at $119.99 and will ship October 13th. Sure, it’s a bit of a ways off right now, but it’ll be here just ...

Take a good look at this photo. Do you see what I see? If you said “tits“, then you’re close, but no cigar. I’m talking about that thing on Morgan Webb’s lap. It’s the upcoming DJ Hero controller and judging by the look of things, I’m not very impressed. It looks cheap and rather bland if you ask me. I ...

Any DIYer worthy of the title should know about Lady Ada aka Limor Fried. She’s the ultimate maker and when I ran into her last week at a Gawker party, she brought along an Arduino-based robot she was working on. Needless to say, such a technophile needs an appropriate business card to match. Limor’s feature pop-out Spirograph shapes that you ...

Ovi. What sounds like a menstruation period for a woman is actually Nokia’s attempt at an application store. According to TechCrunch and several other blogs, the service has launched but it’s hardly working. Search results yield nothing of value and the categories are all screwed up. Looking for a top ten apps list? No one’s been able to accomplish that ...

Created with stainless steel and glass, Antrepo created this awesome set of salt and pepper shaker, designed to look like a pair of D batteries. A clever commenter referred to the product as “A Salt and Battery.” Get it? You know those batteries with the power level meter on them? You know, the ones where you have to squeeze the ...

Not to be confused with a USB to Serial drive. WE FUCKING LOVE CEREAL! Link

Maybe Steve, our French-speaking publisher here at Gearfuse could better answer the question, “Why the fuck do French designers always have to do things bass ackwards? Does it make them feel more ‘artsy?’ Do your berets block your eyesight? Too much wine perhaps?'” The “WTF, Not What I Thought” Lamp, designed by John Nouanesing, surprises the unsuspecting switch-flicker by illuminating ...

The laptop hub itself is enough to generate an epic “Yo Dawg” meme which would make Xzibit cry in frustration. But add in transformer functionality and you have some sort of weird meta-paradox which isn’t even worth the effort to meme-ificate. This robotic transformer hub folds into the shape of a mini-laptop with four additional USB ports. Now all we ...

Capcom, maker of Metal Gear Solid and Street Fighter, loves the iPhone. So much, in fact, that in the next year, Capcom will release 10 new titles for the device on the Apple App Store. No details are available on whether or not current titles will be ported to the iPhone/iPod Touch, but keep your eyes peeled for titles relating ...
