    SPLORT FART: DIY Atari noises

    Posted on March 23, 2010 | No Comments
    Dear pre-teens: Want to piss off your parents? Buy and build this thing. It's a mini Atari-esque noise generator that fits inside an Altoids tin (not included.) While it makes noises like the Atari 2600 used to, it does not make "sounds" per se, in that said sounds could be pleasing to the ear. These are definitely not. It's only $25 and it's totally DIY. It also sounds like you're squeezing a gerbil through a clothes press.

What do you do? You tell your assistant [...]

    This is tool is either for emergency workers who need to quickly cut through fabric of injured victims or for the Dextor-types who need to cleanly cut through fabric of their victims. Actually, probably both. Check out the video demo after the jump. It's like a letter opener for clothes.

    Nissan’s “Smiling Vehicle” shows emotions (video)

    Posted on January 11, 2010 | No Comments
    It seems the car industry doesn't have any problems left that need to be solved. Or what else can explain Nissan's shot at designing a car that can "show emotions"? The so-called Smiling Vehicle was jointly developed by the Hara Design Institute Nippon Design Center and the automaker. And yes, the mini vehicle, based on the Nissan Cube, does look friendly. The concept car is covered with a substance called ROICA, a polyurethane elastomer fiber from major chemical company Asahi Kasei. ROICA has the ability to deform by up to 900% and is normally used for producing shoes, clothes or car seats. Combine the material with Animatronics, and you get a car grill that can actually "smile".

    Review: Panasonic 360 Degree Quick Iron

    Posted on December 17, 2009 | No Comments
    This is an iron that promises to increase your ironing speed by up to 25% thanks to a symmetrical titanium soleplate, which allows you to iron forwards, backwards, left, and right with ease. It doesn’t make ironing any more exciting but with a street price of around $40, it’s a solidly-built and attractive iron if [...]

  • Sprint getting BlackBerry Curve 8530, too

    Sprint getting BlackBerry Curve 8530, too

    Posted on November 5, 2009 | No Comments

    Filed under: , , , , ,

    Great news, Sprint-ites (or whatever it is that you like to be called): the BlackBerry Curve 8530 that was just announced for Verizon today isn't a Big Red exclusive. We just reached out to a Sprint spokesperson for comment on the device's future in yellow clothes, and sure enough, it's coming; we don't know when exactly, but we imagine it'd be in the same time frame as Verizon's, which launches on the 20th of this month. This would become Sprint's first optical trackpad-equipped BlackBerry device -- and with both EV-DO and WiFi on board, it should be a solid option if the price falls in line with the $100 that its rival is charging. More on this shortly, we suspect.

    Hai Karate! The Black Belt Watch is for black belts only

    Posted on November 4, 2009 | No Comments
    Remember those watches made out of pieces of the Titanic? Or that watch with the little moon lander on it? Well Yvan Arpa, the nutso horologist behind those treats has finally hit the a new level of crazy. Homeboy is a has a black belt and, in order to honor his fellow black belts, he's created a watch just for black belts. It's a watch for black belts only. And it costs about $4,000. The site accepts applications for their watches and the design takes queues from other martial arts including creating hands that look like Shinai, wooden Kendo swords.

    The Future: 3.3mm-thick Samsung TV

    If you think about it, you'll probably only need to hang your flat panel TV on the wall once. Maybe twice. Maybe three times if you really move around a lot, like in the middle of the night when you hear a knock on your door and thank god you slept in your clothes because there's only enough time to put on a pair of Velcro shoes and grab your 40-inch TV.

    What BrickHouse lacks in photoshop skills they more than make up for in caring for kids. BrickHouse sells the Child Locator, a little thinger that lights up when your kid moves up to 600 feet away from you, and now they have this. It's basically a little tracking device that hangs off of your kid's clothes and allows you to track them anywhere on Earth.

  • Samsung Behold II caught behind glass

    Samsung Behold II caught behind glass

    Posted on October 7, 2009 | No Comments

    Filed under: , , , , , , , ,

    Whoa, Android overload! Moment isn't the only Google-rife device out of Samsung that's on display at the show -- to get the whole picture you've got to turn your attention over to the Behold II, which is more or less a Galaxy done up in T-Mobile-specific clothes and makeup, right down to the all-important AMOLED display. Unfortunately, Sammy's been stingy with access to this one so far -- and it's apparently a non-working model, which might explain it -- but at least we can get a pretty good sense of the size of the device here. It looks plenty thin, and at a glance, it's got a higher-end appeal to it than the Moment; suffice it to say, the myTouch 3G's reign atop T-Mobile's full-touch Android lineup isn't long for this world. Check out a few shots below.

    Few things get a phone geek’s blood boiling like leaked box art for an upcoming handset. It’s like a strip tease where the dancer starts out wrapped in 10 layers of clothes, and you’re primarily interested in looking at the stitching of the fabric.

    Someone call LATFH. This is “Sonic Fabric,” and it's made out of old cassette tape, um, tape. It's 100 percent ridiculous, yes.
