Hannspree Does Some Groovy LCDs

We've shown you the child's side of Hannspree with its Disney-inspired LCD models, but here's something a little more sophisticated for the grownups. The Hanns Starlight is a 15-inch LCD TV that, strangely enough, is inspired by the contours of the moon in the starlit sky. I don't know what the Hannspree team was smoking the day they came up with this, but I'd like them to give me a call immediately. It's quite a pretty television, with "curves like orbits" and laser-polished buttons. Runs about $600 and comes with a metal stand designed in an "orbital pattern." Another fave is the Hanns Time Square TV. A 12-inch LCD model, this one is actually designed to look like a men's sports watch. On the front of the TV, it's got a Swiss movement on the right and a thermometer and hydrometer to track temperature and humidity on the left. The stand is wrapped in rubber and it's also got adjustable speakers. And what a bargain at only $450. More »

Aurora Palette—The Magical Curtain


Japan's Banpresto is selling several types of room and bath atmospheric light gadgets, including this one called the Aurora Palette.

It includes a timer function for 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes and sells for about $30. More »

The MP3 LED Tree

In today's busy world, classic holiday traditions such as caroling and decorating the tree are too much of a pain in the ass. Now it may be a bit late to do your tree shopping, unless you plan to leave that tree up until next year, but this is definitely a good gadget to keep in mind for future years. State-of-the-art lighting and an integrated MP3 player makes this the perfect tree for techies and lazy people alike. And just imagine the fun that could be had by replacing the MP3s of carols with some hardcore Mike Jones on Christmas Eve. Only $169 to have the laziest Christmas yet. More »

Holiday Gifts and Listening for Geeky Musicians

There's still time to run out and buy a gift for your favorite digitally-oriented musician at your local music store. From books and discs to tips for female musicians to gear and games, Create Digital Music has put together choices that won't blow the budget, like the $200 Alesis Photon X25 keyboard. (Hint: the recipient won't care about the solidly-built knobs, keys, and built-in audio interface as much as the glowing-red wheel controllers and wireless infrared X/Y/Z dome sensor.) But you'll have to pull yourself away from the groovy sounds of the vintage Moog sounds of Switched on Santa first. Make that a New Year's present. More »

Marty 101 Speaker — Timedomain


The Japanese company MET began selling the speaker system Marty 101 yesterday, developed in cooperation with the company Timedomain. I guess it is more for the real audio buffs among us, but after reading about its effects capabilities, I'm thinking it sounds quite intriguing. "Time domain theory aims to reproduce the original audio waveform, which contains the amplitude / phase frequency characteristics, through the speaker, without change. This theory is therefore considered to be an effective approach toward the reproduction of truly original sound." Surely someone can comment on this. They're sold as a pair in silver or white for about $250.

Flash That Phonebook, Baby

If you can get over the name, you might actually get some really good use out of this little gadget. The USB Phonebook Flasher plugs one end into your mobile phone and another into a USB port for one-touch backups for your address book. It's probably the most valuable tool ever for someone who uses Verizon or a service without the ease of a SIM card. No more having to spend hours reloading your new phone with your numbers off your old phone when you've got this. Backs up over 10,000 phonebook entries off both the phone and/or SIM card. Only $21.00 to spare you hours of aggrevation and sore fingers. More »

Newton Museum Winds Up on eBay

Are you a Newton fanatic who just can't let go? Want to get your hands on every Newton model ever made? Now's your chance, because unfortunately the (virtual) Newton Museum has closed. John Venzon has decided to sell off his massive PDA collection on eBay. You won't just scoop up Newtons and eMates (what an awesome failure), either—you'll grab all kinds of accessories like cases, cards, and cables, oh my! Even software is included so you can kick it wirelessly with that huge-ass Newton in hand. The auction ends Monday, December 26, 2005 at 5:00 PM Pacific Time. Would you really need all these Newtons? Not really, but they're just cool to have. More »

Topless Sandals

Here's a new concept for your feet: topless sandals. These flip-flops have colorful designs that go well with any foot size. They contain a special sticky surface that leaves no residue to stick to the bottom of your feet when you take them off. I'm skeptical as to how well they'd hold up while trudging through sand at the beach, but they do look awesome enough. The company claims the stickyness will last about a year, so you at least get your money's worth. You'll be sure to turn heads when you wear them around and people wonder where the rest of the flip-flop is. All sizes, designs, and colors are available and start at $14.50. Comfort not included.

Latest by edelaney05: I think it's also great that topless-sandal.com also sells "toe thongs" (a.k.a the top part of a flip-flop) for $6.45, which means for more than 20 bucks you can have a complete flip-flop system which can be worn in 3 more »

Dig Pot? Then Rock a Cannabis Candle This Holiday!

Oh man. That pun in the title was like, soooo funny, man. Dig...Pot? Like a Potted Plant! Sorry about that, I just got sidetracked because of this totally awesome Cannabis-scented candle from IIKH. Straight outta NYC, these candles are made from vegetable wax and have a cotton wick for a longer and cleaner burn. You know, kind of like a totally rad bong hit, man. If Cannabis isn't quite your thing, the candles also come in other scents such as Basil, Black Tea, Hyacinth and Lime Blossom. If you want to get your stoner friend something for the holidays, this is a great gift idea. Votives are $10 and candles are $28, so why not grab a dime bag and a few votives and be creative? More »

Diamond Laptop for 14k Geeks

This is kind of old, but good for the holidays. There seems to be a market for luxury cellphones and PDAs, but I'm not quite sure who's buying a white-gold laptop. Forgive me, but I just don't see Paris Hilton whipping out her trusty computer at the airport to finish up that important document she's been working on. But if you have the money ($336,557) and the urge, Tulip has an E-Go laptop made with solid palladium white gold plates and brilliant-cut pav diamonds totaling 80 carats. Add two rubies in the Tulip logos and you've got something special. And a little ridiculous. You'll also find Inclosia s patented mass-production EXO overmolding system technology, designed to incorporate fabrics, leather and other materials into electronics and seen now in Microsoft s Executive Mouse. Expect an AMD Turion 64 processor, ATI Radeon Xpress 200 graphics chipset, 1GB of PC3200 DDR RAM, 100GB SATA hard disk drive, and 12.1-inch widescreen display, DVD-RW optical drive, built-in Web camera, 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 1.2 and SD/MMC/MS/MS Duo memory card reader.
