Make seems to really like this CVS one-time-use video camera. They like it so much, in fact, that, they’re getting into all sorts of mischief involving cable splicing and soldering. Can we just agree that those guys are crazy? Can we? Using a serial Palm sync cable, a little elbow grease, and some Yankee ingenuity, … Continued
Three new Sony HD televisions are available in the UK and should soon be coming to the states. The kicker about these televisions is that they use high-tech image processing that manages to take non-HD sources and makes them look pretty as a pink pony paradise. The W series features a 40″ LCD and a … Continued
Those crazy baseball loving Japanese are at it again. The Ishikawa-Namiki Komuro Laboratory has designed a claw device that can catch baseballs up to 186 mph.

I know there are hardcore gamers out there, that will do and spend anything to increase their gaming edge. I really have doubts that there are hardcore enough mobile phone gamers that actually need a gamepad to play Brick Attack, but who knows. For those diehard mobile gamers I guess Alienware heard your calling and … Continued
In most cases I would naturally say an idea like this would be completely worthless, but this only escapes the grasps of worthlessness by being an extremely cool. This plant, purchased at Home Depot is controlled by the stock fluctuations that the Home Depot stock is taking. Once a week a wifi adapter checks the … Continued
I got the heebie jeebies just looking at this thing. It’s a bone injection gun for pounding meds straight into the marrow for when you just can’t find a vein. I can’t even look pictures of face-lifted people without thinking about all the gristle and stuff that they had to cut through to give them … Continued
It seems that this piece is all conjecture, but The Inquirer is proposing that, thanks to Sony talking all big about the PS3 and how amazingly expensive it will be, Microsoft now has leeway to price the XBox360 a good $200 or $300 higher than expected. Now that I read this, it seems as if … Continued
Wha? This story is important just for its headline: State bans cell phone driving teens. So are the teens driving the cell phones? I just don’t know. Essentially, Colorado has outlawed teens from driving while under the influence of 50 Cent’s Candy Shop ringtone. Unfortunately, I doubt a heavy duty ruling on the books is … Continued
OK. Last DIY. I promise. This is a service that sells custom car insignias. I’m going to get one that says “KITTENS SUCK” and then see how far I can drive without being rear-ended by some mu-mu-wearing romance novel lover in her Fiesta. Kittens do suck, by the way. Custom Car Emblem from Youremblem.com is … Continued

Make Magazine has a detailed—and we mean detailed—HOW-TO on how to get RSS feeds sent to your SPOT watch. I dig SPOT but I think it’s gone stagnant recently. This little hack, however, perks up my flagging SPOT-love slightly. Most of the HOW-TO involves downloading a bunch of software but the fact that you can … Continued
I know Hugh Masekela and his bugle aren’t big on the pop charts these days, but if you’re going to play Taps, can’t you learn the few notes that it requires? The Cyber Bugle pounds out Taps with 40 watts of power and resonates through the bugle itself. I guess it beats whipping out the … Continued
This popped up this weekend. It’s very important: once a device is able to play Doom, it becomes a man and receives a Bar Mitzvah and lots of cash and presents. Here’s a tip from Uncle Gizmodo—someone out there has to create an “It Plays Doom” website with images of everything, from refrigerators to the … Continued
We mentioned the re-release of the smaller and sassier Toshiba Libretto in the form of the U100 a few months ago, and were quite excited by its prospects. The teensy 2.2 pound form factor packs quite a bit of oomph for its size; including a Pentium M chip, a 1280 x 768 resolution and a … Continued
Ever wished your Magic 8 Ball came in human form? Not so you can snuggle with it, but so its varied and valuable advice didn’t come from an impersonal black hunk of plastic. Well, wish no longer.

I’ve had this link floating around for about five years now and never got a chance to post it. So here it is.
