It’s packing tape, but made awesome with those classic baddies from Space Invaders. 3M are you paying attention? You could corner the market on novelty themed adhesive tapes with some well thought out product tie-ins. If you need suggestions just give me a holler. $4.79 for a pack of three rolls from Officeworks.
I think more busts have been made of Beethoven than any other figure in history, and I’m sure it has something to do with his hair. At about 6 inches tall this one’s on the small side but manages to be far more useful than just a decorative element for a music studio. The holes bored into his chest facilitate a 2 watt speaker inside with volume, bass and treble controls located just below. He’s powered by 4xAAA batteries or your PC’s USB port, and includes a double-ended audio cable for connecting it to any device with a headphone or line out jack. ~$38 (£25.00) from Urban Outfitters.
According to wireless goodness, the Excalibur Wireless News Ticker, which was recently approved by the FCC, lets you stay on top of news and other events via a scrolling text display, not unlike what you’d find at the stock market. Since the Excalibur’s interface and display are pretty basic, all of the setup is done via a PC app which lets you add and customize RSS feeds which are then streamed to the display with an included USB dongle.
There will also be a couple of custom branded versions of the device in conjunction with The Weather Channel and Fox Sports that are designed to focus on weather and sports respectively, though I assume they’ll be able to display regular RSS feeds as well. It’s powered by a set of 4xAA batteries which will hopefully last a while given the ‘no frills’ nature of the Excalibur, and while pricing hasn’t been announced yet, it’s expected to be available in time for the holiday season.
Friday is here, which means your workweek (or schoolweek) is coming to a close. That itself is enough cause for excitement, but I’ve got another one for you. That’s right, we’ve got a giveaway to do! This week we have a nifty Portable Laptop Stand from AViiQ. It’ll make those long business trips, or those cram sessions at the local coffee shops much more bearable.
All you need to do is drop a comment below and we’ll randomly select one of you this time next week. As with most of our contests, this one is only open to US residents.
When you live in a small place, or have to share your space with others, you generally want to do an efficient job at storing your gaming accessories. With various consoles and oversized peripherals, that’s not always the easiest thing to do. That’s why the folks at LevelUp have created the gaming towers.
The five different available Towers are designed to hold your console of choice, games, controllers and even a guitar controller. Each is colored to coordinate with the console it was designed for. For $70, one of these might make a great addition to your living room, or wherever it is you do your gaming.
Tired of only one ear being punished every morning when your alarm clock goes off? In addition to the new 3 in 1 Microdock we brought you yesterday, XtremeMac also unveiled their new Luna SST alarm clock dock on Wednesday which features a detachable speaker that can be placed on the opposite side of your bed for that full waking stereo effect. While the floating speaker isn’t wireless, it can be used as an independent alarm clock which is handy, even if it can only be set using the main unit. And like the 3 in 1 Microdock, the Luna SST can also be used with XtremeMac’s Alarm Clock app making it easier to set the alarms or choose what music you want to wake up to. The Beatles mono or The Beatles stereo… $129.99 listed as ‘coming soon’ on the XtremeMac website.
So we close out the week with a $290 discount on a Dell Latitude E5410, configured with a Core i3 350M 2.26GHz Dual-core processor, a 160GB Hard Drive, 1GB DDR3 ram, 802.11n WiFi and Intel HD graphics. On this particular configuration, this represents a respectable %36 discount. Should you decide to upgrade on the configuration a little and push it over $1,099 you can add an additional $50 coupon. As usual, check out the details at the links below.
With the exception of neon, which can really class up a joint, I’ve never really looked at light bulbs as a ‘designer’ item. And thanks to PLUMEN UK, my opinion really hasn’t changed. I mean I applaud their attempts to make the compact fluorescent bulb look cool, and from certain angles their PLUMEN 001 bulb most certainly does, but looking around my crib I can’t actually see any of the CFLs I have installed. They’re all hidden by shades or other decorative diffusers. So the best way to truly enjoy it or show it off would be to just hang it from a bare extension cord, and I’m just not trendy enough to pull that off.
The 11 watt bulb produces 680 lumens of 2700k warm-white light, but it won’t work in North American, Japan or a hefty list of other countries. But if you live in Europe you’re in luck, kind of, since they’ll set you back £20.00 or just over $30 a bulb.
Unless I’m able to send this thing back in time to take out my enemies before they’re born, I’m going to have a really difficult time in justifying the $6,000 that Sideshow Collectibles is asking for this life-size T-800 Endoskeleton. Made from high quality polystone, fiberglass, metal and other materials and standing atop a display base complete with human skulls, the T-800 is weathered to be more film accurate and includes light-up accents like a blue glowing powercell and menacing red eyes. You’ll definitely want to make up your mind before ordering one though, since at the time of purchase you’ll have to plunk down a $1,200 deposit that’s completely non-refundable.
