This breakdancing robot video clip should really be titled Breakin’ 2: Electronic Boogaloo.

I can’t decide if I’m more mesmerized bye the Japanese dance music or his headspins more. I only wish there were some poppin’-and-lockin’.

Tell time with Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde! This limited edition Pac-Man watch is the perfect gift for any retro game fanatic on your holiday list.

Made exclusively for ClubNAMCO, the Pac-Man Pellet Time watch tells time with ghosts and power pills. The face features all the Pac-Man gang, along…

A source has told video game news site CVG that Logitech is currently working on “a UMD drive add-on” for the PSP Go. Commence laughing.

A representative of Logitech’s UK office told CVG that they’re not aware of any such product, so “… it may be something the US office…

Not only is this one of the more creative Christmas projects we’ve seen around here, it’s one of the cheapest–something that may very well appeal to those of us saving up for new (electronic!) toys. Also? It’s hard to argue with Star Trek….

Harry Potter fans will no doubt remember the Weasley’s strange but practical clock.

I still vividly remember the first time I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark. There’s nothing like a good Karen-Allen-broken-bottle-a-wieldin’-Harrison-Ford-snake-a-fearin’-Nazi-face-a-meltin’-Ark-in-a-government-storage-facility-a-hidin’… romp for a good time. So when I saw these fun Indiana Jones-inspired desk accessories, it put a big smile on my face.

Really, it’s

Scientists in the Netherlands managed to create artificial meat using muscle cells extracted from a live pig combined with “a broth of other animal products”, which allowed the muscle cells to multiply and form muscle tissue. Yummy. But the scientists still have quite a ways to go from producing bacon…

When I first saw this gadget’s name I instantly wished that it referred to an industrious monster instead. Wouldn’t you rather hire a hardworking Yeti than buy a magnetic board with a clock on it? But actually the TaskWatch isn’t so bad. It’s a magnetic white board (Appx. 35″ w…
