I really didn’t think Knight Rider was the shit unlike sleezy jerkoffs from the 1980s. Apparently, a few of these dudes happen to work at Mio, one of the better GPS companies on the market. It seems they had such a boner for Hasselhoff and KITT, a Knight Rider-themed GPS was a must for the 2008 product lineup. For $280, ...

Nothing is better than technology through cake, especially when it’s a JDate-inspired cake! These baked goods are the product of two Jews in love who met on JDate.com. After some time, the couple, Amy and Adam, decided to get hitched and decided their wedding cake should reflect how they first met. Hope that cake isn’t being served during Passover! Aside ...

Crabfu’s latest creation, the R/C tortoise, offers a uniquely humorous way of control that makes for an enjoyable show of stumbling limbs. Using a four channel radio system, the user is able to control each limb with each axis of the transmitter stick. Basically, you can make this thing dance better than Patrick Swayze ever did. On top of that, ...

At $35, DS enthusiasts ...
