spray_caca

Don’t know what “caca” means? Open up your brain tank ’cause here comes – okay it’s Spanish for poop. So what would a product named “Spray Cacas” be like? Let me tell you: it’s a product that will revolutionize pranks in the same way that the Naked Man revolutionized one night stands. Supposedly anyway. The Spray Cacas…

wphone_iphone_clone

The WPhone is a new mock phone from China that’s loaded up with all sorts of stuff that you don’t find even in a real iPhone.

Sure, it’s a touchscreen phone and media player. And yeah, it’s got Bluetooth and WiFi support. But it’s also got a couple of tricks up its sleeve that even…

macbook air pc runs windows without parallels

macbook_knockoff

Of course, that’s because this cheap Chinese knock-off isn’t a MacBook at all. It’s a Windows PC in sheep’s clothing.

Doing its best impression of the MacBook Air, this clone is designed to run Windows, not MacOS (check out the Windows key on the keyboard!) The machine features a “full metal jacket” case, and an…

999.9 pure gold usb flash memory is purely fake

gold_bullion_usb_flash_memory

Donald Trump, now that you’ve outfitted your desktop with a gold USB hub and gold mouse for your gold MacBook Pro, why not pick up a matching gold bar flash drive?

Sure, this flash drive might say it’s 999.9 fine gold, but priced at under $20 bucks, it’s definitely not made out of anything other…

bandai mugen beer can simulator: pop open a cold un-refreshing un-brew

bandai_mugen_beer

Ahh, there’s nothing more refreshing than popping open an ice cold brewski on a hot Summer day. Of course, if you happen to not have a cold brewski on you, you could always go for the next best worst thing – an electronic beer can simulator.

Brought to you by the fine weird minds of…

imac shuffle: the simplest mac you’ll ever use

imac_shuffle

Inspired by the simplicity of their recently released iPod Shuffle 3G, the fine folks of the Apple design team have done themselves one better – with the announcement of the new iMac Shuffle.

By removing the bulky screen, DVD drive, USB, firewire and display ports, it’s the thinnest iMac ever. Just a svelte layer of…

motion sensing fake security cam: your dog’s new toy

fake-security-cam-1

This fake security cam has several fauxthentic features that will deter would-be thieves. It has a motion sensor (probably an IR sensor), so that when someone – you, your wife’s mother, a piece of trash – passes in front of it within 6 1/2 feet, the camera will respond by panning back and forth for…

some really, really rare atari 2600 games

atari_2600_rickroll

Flickr member Redbeard Math Pirate came across this collection of extremely hard to find Atari 2600 games. See if you can recognize any of them:

For some reason I can’t any find these in my closet between my copies of Pitfall and Adventure. I swear I nearly wore out my paddle controllers playing Zardoz. There’s nothing…

new_mac_mini

An image and video has been floating around the web over the last few days showing what is supposedly a new version of the Mac Mini with 5 USB ports on the back. This, undoubtedly is not that image. And before you get up on your high horses, I don’t want to hear any of…

pacboy and space intruder: retro 8-bit games from a (bad) alternative dimension

pac_boy_space_intruder_game

When you think classic video games, two names come to mind PacBoy and Space Intruder, right? No? Well even if those aren’t the games you remember from your childhood, it’s the best you’re gonna do if you pick up these cheap-o handhelds on sale over in the UK.

Judging from the crappy-looking black-and-white LCD screens below,…

xbox 360 and ps3 get 8-bit doppelgängers

xbox_360_fake

Why the heck would you drop $200 to $400 on a brand new console when you could get the same thing for a fraction of the price? Oh yeah, I neglected to mention that these alternate universe clones of the Xbox 360 and PS3 are crappy knock-offs from China – and that they only play…
