Pac-Man Balaclava Should Be Mandatory Streetwear for Everyone July 25, 2007

Items such as this Pac-Man Plush-Head helmet make me realize how much life has to offer. It comes in two sizes, (Pac)Man and (Pac)Boy and does nothing but keep your ears warm. Nope, no MP3 player, no vibrating head massager, no USB, no Bluetooth—just squashy yellowness. What else do you need?

Meeraboo Table Apparently Punishes All Those Who Gaze Upon It July 25, 2007
READ MORE Gadgets
This Meeraboo-2007 ST-1 side table is a design concept by Victor Vetterlein, and we must admit we were more drawn by the scantily clad model with her strange-looking restraints than the table itself. Take the jump for an enlargement of this pic, and a possible explanation of her predicament. (Warning, somehow, it strikes us as strangely NSFW.)
God Of War PSP Is Bloody Cool July 25, 2007

OK, I really like this latest mod from the man behind the great ‘DS Lite Zelda mod’.
However, this one eclipses that one by at least one or two mortal sword strikes. This is the 'PSP God of War Mod’ and it’s for sale now on Ebay. The bidding, which kicked off at $50 is now up to $510 and there’s still five days to go. The amount of work that went into this is insane. Here’s just a summary:
The PSP console itself was airbrushed with a deep metallic bronze in an 18-step process and then strategically tarnished to create a battle-worn armor look (like the chest plate worn in the game!). The hand-sculpted war dogs and omega symbol that grace the back were copper leafed, antiqued, and heavily clear-coated. The real chains and edge trim that surround the system were also copper leafed and aged. The face buttons were custom-made after-market copper replacements and are TOP quality. Finally, truly one-of-a-kind crystal-clear RED shoulder buttons specifically made for this project flank each corner.
For God of War fans, PSP fans or those that appreciate something good being made a whole lot better, this is a one-off I wouldn’t mind bidding on - if I wasn’t already up to my neck in gadget-related debt.

Sony’s Walkman B100 Kills Off SonicStage And Is Cute Too July 25, 2007

Sony wants to kick some Shuffle butt this week with the launch of a mini MP3 player called the Network Walkman NWD-B100.
The best bit, hands-down, is not size or price, but the fact that this kills-off Sony’s music management software pig, SonicStage. The BW100 is ‘drag and drop’ friendly for ATRAC-free MP3 and WMA files.
This little beauty weighs in at 30g and is tiny but sports a lovely 3-line colour LCD display. The downside is just 12 hours of battery life, which is average rather than great for something this small. The USB connector means you can plug it straight into your laptop or hi-fi, while there’s also a built-in FM tuner, voice recorder and equalizer.
It comes in black, white and violet 1GB and 2GB flavours, which will cost £45 and £55 next month when it launches.-Martin Lynch
The Loudest USB Speaker July 25, 2007

Yamaha is planning to the blow the usual array of tinny-sounding USB speakers out of the water with the launch of the NX-U10, claimed as the world’s loudest USB speaker. How?
Well, USB provides 5V, which gives connected devices only 0.5W x 2 of power. To overcome this, Yamaha has created the PowerStorage Circuit to boost this 20 times to 10W x 2. It also features something called SR-Bass (Swing Radiator Bass) to add some meat to your tunes.
Even better, the NX-U10 can be also powered from a plug socket or even 4 AAA batteries. This is especially useful if you want to plug your MP3 player into its 3.5mm stereo mini-jack. It weighs in at just over 1lb and could be yours for around £130 online.- Martin Lynch
