Atari 400 Keyboard Makes an (Unwelcome) Comeback

niyari_atari_400_keyboard_1

To the best of my recollection, the Atari 400 had one of the worst keyboards in the history of computers. I was always convinced that Atari made the 400 suck so badly so people would buy an Atari 800 instead. I did. Now I’m dating myself. Either way, that didn’t…

RuMe Cuff is a Stupid Wallet for Your Coffee Cup

RuMe-Cuff

Sometimes convergence isn’t a good idea.

You know those little cardboard things that go around your cup of coffee at Starbucks? They’re actually pretty ingenious if you think about it. I mean, not only do they function as a buffer between the hot cup and your hand, but they can…

A Smart Car Can Indeed Get Uglier

Those of you who are really into green stuff may hate me for saying this, but the Smart Car is one of the ugliest vehicles on the road. I mean if I had to choose between the Smart Car and an AMC Pacer, it would be hard to decide. Just…

Computer Keyboard Pants: Neither Fashionable Nor Geeky

beauty and the geek pants with built-in keyboard

I was considering filing this under ‘Cute or Stupid?’, but my common sense prevailed. Designed (?) by Erik De Nijs, this pair of pants called “Beauty and the Geek” has no ounce of cuteness or any redeeming factor whatsoever.

boxetti home theater transformer

This home theater system transforms from a display case to a full-on entertainment center. That’s cool, but don’t get your hopes up. It’s way too expensive. Plus, it’s way too ugly.

Weirdest Video Game Genre Ever: NES Pirate Originals on Ebay

Resident Evil Famicom 2

Die-hard Final Fantasy VII fans may be clamoring for a current gen version of the classic RPG, but apparently in China, people are buying the remaining units of NESes in the world, and so de-makes are all the rage. Speaking of de-makes, the 8-bit Left 4 Dead…‘s got nothing

Transformers War for Cybertron Trailer: Let’S Hope There’S More Than Meets the Eye on This One

transformers war for cybertron

I actually forgot about this game until I saw this trailer, and now that I’ve seen it I know why I had forgotten about the game.

cable caps 3

Are you a neat freak? Then I’m sure you like to keep your unused cables systematically stored. You could use a rubber band, or zip ties, but the quirky community thinks they have a better solution. An uglier one, but overall better. I think. They’ve put their brain tanks together…

Kinesis Advantage Keyboard Looks Weird, Feels Right, Priced Wrong

Kinesis-advantage-keyboard-black

I’ve never used one of Kinesis‘ keyboards so I can’t say for sure if they’re worth the price, but Cool Tool‘s Dylan Greene swears by the Kinesis Advantage, and so did most of the people who commented on Greene’s post. The USB keyboard features a contoured layout that minimizes the…
