These cufflinks are made from gold-plated copper. Even though it kinda looks like it, I don’t think Shellhead’s eyes are actually glowing in these cufflinks. It’s probably just clever paint job, but that’d be cool if they did.

You can order the Iron Man cufflinks from southernliving26′s Etsy shop for $19.90 (USD).

The “invention kit” comes with a circuit board, a bunch of alligator clips and a USB cable. All you have to do is connect the MaKey MaKey board to a computer, then attach the alligator clips to the object that you want to use as a keypad and you’re good to go. Your computer will just think that you have a USB keyboard connected. It’s like the Old Spice commercial made real: your bananas are now keyboards!

How awesome is that?! The rest of the world has already gone on record with a resounding “Hell, yeah that’s awesome!”, because as of this writing the MaKey MaKey Kickstarter fundraiser has gathered more than 6 times its original goal amount of $25,000 (USD). You can be one of the first to own a MaKey MaKey kit by pledging at least $35 (USD) to the fundraiser.

According to The Verge, the bundle will include a 4GB Xbox 360, a Kinect, a 2-year subscription to Xbox Live Gold and a 2-year warranty. Takers will only have to pay $99 upfront, but will also have to pay a monthly fee of $15 for two years or else be fed to the dreaded Early Termination Fee monster.

The difference between the normal upfront cost for the bundle versus this supposed deal is an extra $39, so it’s not that bad. Even if the next generation Xbox were to come out this year, the target audience of this deal probably won’t be able to afford that new console anyway. Unless of course the new console will also have a subscription plan, in which case yes, this is a bad deal.

The Calculator 10 is just that – it’s a traditional calculator, designed to fit in right alongside today’s fanciest gadgets. It’s got a case design that’s very similar to the iPhone 4/4S, though without any pesky Gorilla Glass to crack or get thumbprints all over. It’s also done away with the touchscreen Retina display, A5 processor, cameras, accelerometer, GPS, and iOS – in favor of a basic 10-digit LCD screen and some clicky plastic buttons. At least it can handle square roots and percentage calculations. As an added bonus, the Calculator 10 is available in one color that you can’t get the iPhone in – red.

About the only thing the Calculator 10 has going for it is its price – about $11 (USD), and its battery life – about five years under typical use. Try and do that with your fancy iPhone! You can get your hands on the Calculator 10 in black, white or red over at Strapya World.

Yeah, it’s a cheap black plastic stand to make using your 3DS more comfortable while sitting at a table. The catch appears to be that it makes using the 3DS exactly the same as the using in your hand. As lame as I remember the original Kid Icarus game being, perhaps the accessory is an attempt to value add to get gamers with a memory to pick up the game.

I’d like to tell Nintendo if you’re going to make a value-add, be sure it has some value. I just don’t see this being useful at all – this side of people who somehow find it appealing to watch Netflix on the tiny 3DS screen. Is it just me, or is this the lamest console accessory in years?

This mini speaker definitely bears more than a passing resemblance to Iron Man’s red and gold Bleeding Edge armor – however, this version seems a bit more cute and rotund than the comic book or movie version of the superhero. The little speaker measures about 3 inches-tall and plugs into your media player with a standard 3.5mm jack – though I have to say the placement of the connector is, um… unfortunate:

I can’t imagine that would be comfortable – especially knowing there’s electricity flowing through Iron Man’s butt plug. I also wish that his arc reactor chest actually glowed blue – that’d be way cooler than the tiny red LED power indicator in his chest. Oh well, what do you want for a cheap knock-off gadget, perfection?

If you happen to live in Korea, you can find the Iron Man mini speaker over at the Early Adopter Shop[KR] for 19800 Korean Won (~$18 USD). A quick Google search turns up a number of places importing these for under $10 though.

You can choose from two variants – one that says “Biohazard – Stay Out” and another with the more specific message “Caution: Zombies Ahead.”

Pack some green herbs and head to ThinkGeek to order the tapes. They comes in 50ft rolls and sell for $3.99 (USD) each.

The Napper lets you easily take short naps 15, 30 or 60 minutes in length. I actually nodded off in approval when I saw this product. Then I realized how easy it already is to set up an alarm on my phone. Then I looked at the Napper again and resumed nodding off once more.

Set an alarm so you’ll remember to order the Napper on Amazon for $15 (USD).

As you can see, four of the six Avengers featured in the upcoming movie have their own scent – Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk and Thor. Hawkeye and Black Widow probably don’t have their own cologne because they like to be sneaky and so they don’t want to have a distinctive scent. I have no logical alibi for the Hulk cologne, or for these Nick Fury and Loki perfumes.

Tell Jarvis to warm up the Quinjet and head to Urban Collector to pre-order these colognes. The first four come as a set and can be yours for $47 (USD), while the Nick Fury and Loki colognes cost $32 each. Or you can get something that works every time, 60% of the time.

When you buy a pair of the company’s Sculpted Eers in-ear headphones, you’re essentially buying an unfinished product. But it does come with the tools and materials you need to make your own ear buds. What’s more, the whole process takes just 4 minutes. Obviously there’s the risk of you screwing it up. Perhaps you end up making a mold of your armpit or butt instead. Here’s a demo of the process:

See? It’s so easy even the CEO of the company who makes it and thus is heavily invested in the success of the product can do it! And that’s while being interviewed! Seriously though, it doesn’t seem hard at all. The most critical part is ensuring that the headband fits snugly before you let the silicone out. Still didn’t get that? Here’s a more detailed video that seems to have been made for Sonomax employees. You can order a pair of Sculpted Eers on the official online store or on Buy.com. It’s available in two models – The $200 (USD) PCS-100 has a single driver while the $300 PCS-200 has two drivers for better sound.

ZMote will soon release a variety of related products, such as a separate switch, a dimmable switch, as well as a lamp and upright lights. ZMote is going to make home automation – and pranks – a lot easier and cheaper.

They say the Smart Cord will go on sale later this month for $40 (USD). I hope by that time they’ve worked on their website – which looks sort of like something out of 1994.

It may not be that apparent from the renders and pictures, but the SpareOne may as well be called BareOne. Engadget tested it and found that the audio quality was barely usable – then again that’s still way better than nothing. In place of the display is a transparent compartment for the battery. There are also blue LEDs that provide a rudimentary indication of signal and battery life. Speaking of which, Xpal Power claims that the phone has a 10-hour talk time.

As you’ll see in the in the gallery, the SpareOne does have one spare feature – a flashlight. So you can also think of it as a flashlight that holds its charge up to 15 years. Here’s a short demo of the phone:

I can’t help but think that we can do better than an AA battery for a power source, but then again a hand-cranked or solar-powered unit would need a bit of preparation time, and those precious seconds could be the difference between life and death in an emergency. SpareOne will be available in the first quarter of 2012 for $50 (USD), just in time for the great alien invasion of 2027.

This project cost Mike $1.00 in cardboard, $54.60 in servos, and $29.95 in servo controllers. In the video he does a simple motion test and it would appear that it is looking pretty good, judging by how the bot is shaking it’s thang.

He already has his eye on some improvements that he can make now that this one is underway. You can find instructions and materials over at Mike’s website. Who doesn’t want to make a cheap robot?

It’s a shame we have no video of it in action. Then again, brightly colored Japanese characters and exclamation marks are pretty compelling. Head to Strapya World to get your own Dustbox R/C for about $21(USD). It’s also available in black and white, but not Wall-E yellow.

The flashlight’s internal battery can be fully charged in 1.5 to 2 hours, enough for its white LED to shine for more than 2 hours. Now that’s math we can all get behind.

Follow the light to ThinkGeek and order your own USB chargeable mini-flashlight for $7 (USD). Then make a hand-cranked USB charger so you’re always prepared. Then add a phone-line powered flashlight to your arsenal and go stitch yourself a merit badge. You’ve earned it.

While I’m 1000% certain that this thing isn’t official Disney merchandise, it definitely captures the iconic mouse-head and conveys a strong sense of Disneyana on your wrist. It tells time using 33 LEDs arranged into three rings. Not-Mickey’s head shows the current hour, while left ear displays single minutes, the right ear displays tens of minutes. It also displays the date with a press of the button.

While the build quality definitely looks suspect, and Disney’s lawyers might come knocking on your door if you wear one, it’s actually not a bad looking watch.

The best part of course is because it’s a cheap, unlicensed Chinese gadget is that it sells for just $7.35 (USD) over at VKAmobi, so if it sucks, you won’t feel like you flushed too much money down the drain.

Measuring in at just 5.51″(W) x 4.13″(H) x .59″(D), this makeup mirror looks very much like a real iPad 2, except that the back is white instead of aluminum. The front of the iPad even slides off and turns into a dock to stand up the iPad mirror, but alas, there’s no sub-compact Bluetooth keyboard to go with.

So if any of you Apple fans out there feel the need to check yourself (before you wreck yourself,) you can get the tiny iPad 2 makeup mirror over at Focalprice for about $7 (USD).

The 70b is an upgrade to the earlier Archos 70 tablet, adding Android 3.2 Honeycomb, and increasing the RAM to 512MB. The extra RAM will allow the machine to run faster and be smoother in use and navigation of menus. It’s also supposed to have an improved capacitive touch screen, with its resolution bumped up to 1024×600 from 800×480. In addition, the CPU has been sped up from 1.0 GHz to 1.2GHz, while flash storage remains at 8GB.

Other features include accelerated 3D graphics, Wi-Fi, HDMI output and a microSD card slot for expansion. The tablet will hit stores in January. What do you think? Does this sound like a better option than the somewhat gimped Kindle Fire to you?

[Press Release]

The Angry Birds PSP Game Console not only craps all over Rovio’s trademarked birds and pigs, but also wants to get Sony’s lawyers into the mix as well, aping the style of their PSP handheld, and even using “PSP” on their packaging.

Ffrom everything I can tell, this thing is like one of those old LCD Nintendo Game & Watch games from the 1970s and 1980s, but I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that this one sucks.

Now I suppose that with a price of just about $7 (USD), you can’t expect much, but when you think about the fact that Angry Birds can be downloaded for free to 99 cents, and is available on just about every platform out there, it’s a bit of a stretch to figure out why you’d ever buy one of these things. I suppose if you’re one of the three people left in the civilized world without a smartphone or a web browser, you can pick one of these up over at Focalprice for $7.44(USD).

These tablets will likely be very cheap for what they offer. Coby isn’t going all out with the details at this point and has simply stated that it will be offering five different tablets and that all of them will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The tablets will be offered in 7-inch, 8-inch, 9-inch, 9.7-inch, and 10-inch versions.

They will each have similar hardware features with up to 1GB of RAM, a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, and multitouch screens with WiFi. The tablets will also have up to 32GB of storage presumably via microSD or SD cards. Pricing and availability are unknown, but that info should land at CES in about a month.
