Of course not. Someone took a picture of an iPhone, photoshopped the back to give it a matte-look and looked up the FCC-related shit on their website. Come on now. No need to lie. I’m giving whoever did this 12 hours to leave a comment fessing up to the crime and then there’s no turning back. Link

Sheesh. What the fuck is this brick? I know I start my new construction job next week but I didn’t expect to be subjected to these kinds of materials. Apparently this thing can not only be used to lay down the foundation of a building, but also for open source and retro-gaming. It has an 800×480 pixel display, a bunch ...

I haven’t posted any original graphic design in awhile, so when I saw Mark Weaver’s work, I knew I’d found something special. Weaver goes for that rustic, DaVinci-esque look that resembles an old philosopher’s sketchbook. He also makes excellent use of color, as one can easily see from the above print. I’d so buy of Mark’s work if I had ...

Anyone can waltz down to the local strip mall, pay $20 and get a set of fake, ugly acrylic nails slapped on their hands. But if you have class and skill, the right thing to do would be to paint on your own design. Take for instance Happylod3’s Legend of Zelda inspired fingernails. She painted the Triforce, the ocarina, the ...

Or fretting. Or skill. Or anything. This guitar is fret-less and has no tuning pegs. It uses servo motors to change the tension in the strings to get different notes out of it. Very cool, but I’d like to see Peter Frampton use it. That’s fancy and all, but how does it really work? A servoelectric guitar is a fretless ...

Here’s an umbrella guaranteed to please whether on drugs or not. Designed by Squid London, this umbrella features a special material that changes color when it’s wet. Beautiful, no? Don’t get it near your mistress in the heat of the moment or your wife is clearly going to find out. Link

Gearfuse reader Kenneth Macy sent in his website where he creates unique designs that fit on your feet. It’s called Ashi Dashi and as you can see from some of the examples above, Kenneth is quite the creative guy. I love the socks that make your feet look like a couple of cigarettes and the pencil design is pretty cool ...

I love Joel. I really do. He’s a good friend and when he’s drunk, I try to steal Boing Boing’s bank account number. But alas, our good friend Joel has uncovered a 6MB PDF file that supposedly was used to convince the Pepsi execs to change the logo. Surely you’ve seen those new Pepsi cans, right? Regardless, it seems the ...

Do you read books? Excellent, but what about e-Books? They’re like books, except they are electronic. Don’t you understand the paradigm here? Get with the 21st century, McFly! Yesterday morning, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos unveiled the Kindle 2. It’s better than the original Kindle and just as expensive, costing $359 which will ensure it doesn’t sell like hotcakes. Here’s the ...

While Polaroid film is a dying medium, you can keep the memories going with this mirror that’s shaped like a Polaroid picture. No shaking required; just hold it up and admire how handsome you look, just like this guy. Better yet, take it with you on a date, drop it on the floor to look up your date’s skirt and ...
