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?

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.

Codenamed Cotton Candy, the device weighs just 21g and can be powered via USB.  It has an ARM Cortex 1.2GHz CPU – the same that’s in the Samsung Galaxy SII – a quad-core ARM Mali GPU capable of processing 1080p video, 1GB RAM, a USB port, an HDMI port and a microSD slot (it’s primary means of storage). It also has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. Cotton Candy can run a variety of operating systems, but in the demo video below it’s shown running Android 2.3 while plugged into a MacBook Air and on an HDTV:

So why would you want a device like this when you’ve already got a laptop, tablet or smartphone? FXI has several suggestions, including lengthening the life of monitors, PCs and other gadgets with screens. It’ll also make it easier to run multiple operating systems and drive the cost of owning a computer even cheaper – assuming you have a screen to plug it into of course. And again there’s the much hyped cloud computing.

If we do end up storing and streaming our media en masse on remote servers, it would make sense for people to carry something like the Cotton Candy to plug into dumb terminals to add local functionality. I don’t think it’s a good replacement for laptops, but I could see schools and businesses adopting a system of dumb terminals for students and employees to use and plug into. It makes for more personalized computing at lower costs.

I’m not sure exactly how the switch works, but Light does mention that it’s a modified pull chain switch. Place it in between a book, secure the string and then connect the plug of any electrical device into the switch’s own socket. When you pull the book outward, the string is pulled with it, toggling the switch.

The Secret Passageway Switch was sold at Vespoe for $50 (USD), but unfortunately it’s sold out as of this writing. Hopefully Light will make some more. Although I’m sure the tinkerers among you can cobble your own version without spending a penny.

While not as drastic or complex as the Cthulhutastic N-Control Avenger mod, KontrolFreek swears that their clip-on kits do have significant benefits. The one that increases length is called the FPS Freek. I don’t have exact measurements but judging from the pictures I think it almost doubles the length of the thumbsticks. The increased length offers a greater range of motion – and in effect a slight increase in sensitivity. The SpeedFreek, on the other hand ensures that your thumb won’t slip off of the stick, even if you have sweaty thumbs or if you quickly nudge or hold the sticks towards the edges.

KontrolFreek has variations of these two mods, but they all work the same. The notable exception is the SpeedFreak Apex (the black SpeedFreak below) although the normal SpeedFreak shown here in white also comes in black). It’s the combination of both mods, adding both height and horns.

You can order the KontrolFreek clip-on mods from Firebox for £12 (~$19 USD) each or directly from KontrolFreek, where you can browse all of the models. Prices range from $10 to $14 on the official store, but only because they’re on sale as of this writing, so now’s the time to get hats for your thumbsticks if you’re interested.

This ridiculous iPhone 4 case makes your smartphone look like it’s made out of solid gold. Or actually 999.9 gold, to be exact. Despite the “Net Wt 1000g” labeling, I’m pretty sure your iPhone will still weigh in at less than 1/5th of that, even with the case on.

I also can’t imagine that the angled corners on this thing would be particularly comfortable in your pocket, but then again, it’s made out of rubbery silicone, and not actual gold. If you’re just dying to show off your extravagant style, you can get the Gold Bar iPhone 4 case over at Strapya World for ¥1680 (appx. $22 USD).

AirCassette is a music player for iOS devices. It’s main draw is that the “now playing” screen looks like a cassette tape – the artist and song title appear on the label in a handwritten type of font, plus the tape’s spools rotate as the music plays. It even has the proper animations for rewind and fast forward. There are several designs included so you can easily swap them out and stare at a different tape.

AirCassette also has a queueing feature – similar to iTunes “On-the-Go” playlist, along with a few sharing options. You can share a song or your entire queue vie email or on Facebook. Here’s the app in action:

iOS users, you know what to do if you like this app – here’s the iTunes link. It’ll cost you $1.99 (USD). Is it worth it? I’m not sure; the thing is even it’s greatest strength still needs some polish. First of all I’d prefer it if the cassette tape looked more realistic. Even on video I can see that the image of the tape is flat. It doesn’t look like a cassette tape; it looks like a drawing of a cassette tape. I still might get it for the queueing feature though. You can check out its official website for more info.

As you can see, the iTat isn’t as bad as its name sounds. You also have the option of ordering a custom template, so you can truly personalize your phone. But as I mentioned above, a big drawback to this customization option is that the iTat is a DIY affair. Sirtified will only send you the vinyl pattern and a “Super Magical Etching Fluid” – which is acidic enough that a pair of latex gloves is also included in the DIY kit – and you’ll have to do the rest. Apply the sticker, then the solution. Let it sit for 3 minutes, then wipe it clean and remove the sticker. Afterwards, your iPhone’s glass will be etched with your design.

You can order the iTat iPhone Tattoo DIY kit from Sirtified for $15 (USD); you’ll have to pay an extra $5 for custom text. Replacement back glass not included.
