This photo of what is probably the most unusual urinal on the planet has been making its way around the Interwebs this week. It’s simply titled “thermochromic urinal” and it’s definitely the most colorful urinal I’ve ever seen.…

Somedays, I just wish that Nintendo would throw in the towel on the hardware business and just make games for other platforms. Can you imagine being able to play all your favorite Mario games on your iPhone, for instance?…

While to many people, bike tech doesn’t seem to evolve much, there are refinements every year making bikes somewhat more efficient than just a decade ago.…

I have a Nikon D80 DSLR that has a big grip that is easy to get a hold of even if your palms are sweaty from the 657-degree Texas summer heat.…

Once we got a few Redbox kiosks in my area, I stopped going to the regular movie store to rent flicks. I grew tired of the late fees and having to wait in lines behind idiots while idiots at the counter tried to check them out.…

…at least I don’t think it will. Of course the idea of plugging anything that looks like a bomb into one of your USB ports might be a risky endeavor.…

Every time I think the Angry Birds have completely exhausted their 15 minutes of fame, something else comes along to give them a stay of execution from their inevitable extinction.…

My parents were crazy when I was a kid. They would get a single toy and expect me to share it with my brother. I’m not sure why they thought we were capable of sharing considering all the fights we got into over who had something before the other.…

This might piss off some of you hardcore Doctor Who geeks out there, but I have tried to watch the show and it is some of the worst TV in history in my opinion.…

If you’re looking for a gift for a loved one that’s into video games, then this 8-bit flower bouquet will be super effective. It’s more personal, the flowers never need watering and they will never wilt.…

I’ve never thought about using my iPhone as a touchpad or numeric keypad for my computer, but apparently CompuExpert thinks we should. Their new WOW-Keys keyboard features a prominent dock for your iPhone.…

Drew Dernavich noticed that some of the tools and techniques in Adobe Photoshop are borderline violent – warp, flatten, slice – so he wasn’t that surprised with what he saw when he got his hands on an advance copy of Photoshop 6.…

This was probably your parents’ worst nightmare. Thanks to Back to the Future, we all love gigantic speakers. Well, this subwoofer is pretty huge and it’s been made into a chair.…

While it seems like a simple task, teaching a robot to catch a ball that’s thrown into the air is much harder than it sounds. But it’s no problem for the DLR’s robot, Rollin’ Justin, who’s been trained to catch balls in his grippy robo-hands.…

I’ve always wanted to set up a home theater that had the kind of big, wall-shaking sound you get at a serious THX-certified movie theater. I always end up with something a bit more down to earth because I don’t want to completely piss off my neighbors – and my wife – by turning our house into a wall of sound.…
