UltraPin 12 in 1 Digital Pinball Machine. Aaargh, what are these people doing? Don’t they realise that pinball tables are a work of art, a piece of history, the lovingly waxed gaming equivalent of a Da Vinci masterpiece? Shoving 12 digital game decks into one box only guarantees that every game will be total pants. And to add insult to injury they’re going to charge me $4,999.00 for the privilege? Yeah riiight. This state-of-the-art machine features a 32″ 16:9 widescreen, razor-sharp LCD Flat…

Read MoreStar Trek Voice Activated Light Switch and Dimmer – make it so…
The Star Trek Voice Activated Light Switch and Dimmer is the perfect tool for impressing the new lady in your life. No really, it carries just the right amount of geek cred, aligned with chic retro kitsch to completely convince them that you’re not a drop-dead weirdo nerd with a passion for voice activated doo-dads, but are in fact a deep cover sleeper agent for the notorious Smersh organisation. They’ll lap it up, honest. $69.99. After a long day at Starfleet Academy,…

Read MoreUltra fast broadband over copper – Aussie student smashes through a bottleneck…
John Papandriopoulos of the University of Melbourne – here seen estimating his first potential paycheck – has come up with some nifty technology to reduce crosstalk interference on DSL broadband copper lines and increase speeds to a theoretical maximum of 200 Mbps. That’s just un-chuffin’-believable, considering we thought 56K was the maximum a short few years ago. And what’s even more astonishing is the lab work which suggests that speeds of up to 1–2 Gbps are possible in the future. For now,…

Read More4GB MP4 Watch with FM Transmitter – from wrist to radio in one easy leap
4GB MP4 Watch with FM Transmitter. There’s lots of MP3 watches out there which can broadcast sound to your car or home stereo system, but not many that cope with MP4 material.

Read MoreVivendi Games Mobile – free classic Sierra games available for your mobile phone
Vivendi Games Mobile looks to be making a push to deliver classic Sierra game titles reworked for your mobile phone. The idea is to supply the games free in exchange for some advertising time on your handset. It’s an attractive proposition, especially when you consider the quality of the games back catalogue that’s involved (Crash Bandicoot, Leisure Suit Larry, SWAT…etc). Unfortunately it’s all ‘over the air’ via your mobile operator at the moment, but that’s inevitably going to change sooner…
Read MorePipeline Deals – excellent sales force web application done with style

The 88 Fast Food Items Most Likely to Kill You. Says it all really. Tip: er…stay away from the sack of White Castle Homestyle Onion Rings if you’re at all worried about your consumption of trans fats. Check it out visually too. The American Heart Association recommends a maximum of no more than 2 grams of trans fat per day. Not per meal or per food, but per day total. And, get this. They also say that there is enough naturally…
Read MoreTipaTipa – get paid for helping others find a good deal
TipaTipa is a cool new discount finder community service with a twist. Instead of just supplying product reviews as with places like Ciao, DooYoo or Epinions, in this model the community works for each other for cash. You know where there’s a good bargain TV to be found? Tell someone who’s looking and they will probably give you a small payment as a thank you. It combines the wisdom of the crowds with the mercenary-ness of the urban jungle to…
Read MoreMiro vs Joost – interesting, albeit partial, comparison
Just received an interesting little comparison chart looking at the differences between Joost and Miro. Sent to me by Miro, so it’s obviously biased, but still worth scanning. It’s made me look at Miro again with a fresh eye. Tags: miro+vs+joost, internet+television
