Wireless Solar Speaker

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

My initial reaction to this was, surely this would be as much use as a solar powered torch what sun are you going to get in your living room? But then it dawned on me just how useful this gadget could be (a bit slow I know).
Featuring an “OMNI directional design” which projects 70db sound [...]

Singing in the rain

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

Ok, so we know the iPod accessory craze has been taken perhaps a smidgen too far. We’ve had everything from boxer shorts with a special pouch, in which your iPod fits snugly, to a wallet with a built-in section for your iPod Nano and even a toilet roll dispenser with an iPod dock so you [...]

A Minidesk adventure

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

Could this be taking your liking for the marvellous Mini Cooper just a little too far? Maybe I’m just not into cars enough to appreciate this interesting concept, but in a nutshell, it appears to be a Mini Cooper turned desk.

The front half of the car is still in tact, but it looks like the [...]

If you try and sweat it out at the gym most weeks or are even partial to the odd jog, you’ll probably know what a difference it can make if you’re listening to music. Whether you’ve got a trendy iPod strapped securely to your arm or you’re happy to keep your mitts clamped tightly around [...]

The Jump behind the Bean

Saturday, October 7th, 2006

I remember these from years ago. Little bean-type things jumping and bouncing around the table top for no apparent reason used to keep me entertained for hours.

But now, rather than being entertainment, I am downright curious. What is the jump that lies behind the bean? This is what!

“Euuuw” is all I can say about that! [...]

If you don’t want to get ran over by a car whilst out walking now the darker nights are closing in, then this is the solution for you, according to Chong Qing Yun Guang Communications.

Motorised Roller Blades

Thursday, October 5th, 2006

Following the recent theme of the next crazy extreme sport check out these motorised roller blades.

Yes that’s right. As you can see these aren’t any ordinary roller blades they have been custom manufactured to include a small petrol engine on each boot.
I’d be very interested to see what sort of speeds these can get up [...]

How to loose an RC Stealth Power Boat!

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

Take a video camera, one remote control power boat, a lake, some geese, over hanging trees and then finally through in some over excited product testers, and this is what you get!
You could imagine the hilarity this caused in the Gizoo office when it came to light that the guys who left the office with [...]
