Just like the ironically good and smart folks at Evil Mad Scientist Labs, custom gamepad maker Evil Controllers isn’t living up to its name. The company teamed up with The Able Gamers Foundation to create the Adroit Switchblade, a controller designed to be used by gamers with a limited range of motion.

Amazon has always been a pioneer in the shopping world. They are the number one online shopping website and they didn’t attain that rank by standing still. They are constantly working to innovate and find new ways to make their customers lives easier.

Matt Leggett has designed a jacket that gives him a rough estimate of his blood alcohol level. He just looks at the amount of vomit on it and he gets a very very very rough idea of how smashed he is.

No, these aren’t aliens or anything like that, but this art installation by Luzinterruptus is pretty spooky. The anonymous artist group put together this haunting installation for the Hamburg Dockville Festival. It’s supposed to remind us of the dangers of nuclear power.

“Winter is coming” might be the catchphrase of the Starks of Winterfell, but sure enough, summer’s coming to a close and before you know it, you’ll be freezing waiting for public transportation.

I was grabbing the latest update to Atari’s Greatest Hits on my iPad yesterday, when I noticed a mention of something in the release notes. They mentioned that the game was now compatible with the “Atari® Arcade – Duo™ Powered joystick”.

We feature quirky alarm clocks on almost a weekly basis. On the other hand, the creators of the Sonic Bomb alarm clock didn’t bother to think of unique ways of waking people up. They just went with pure power.

The i+Case case is a sleek modern iPhone 4 case that looks pretty great, tightly wrapping your iPhone with a protective aluminum bumper, without concealing Apple’s original industrial design.

It’s always annoying when you have to go (go as in poop or pee, not go as in, to leave) and find that there’s no vacant toilet nearby. You can run and search the immediate vicinity, but chances are, the bathroom will almost always be occupied (especially in times when you most need it.)

If the prophet Matt Groening is to be believed – and why the hell not –  in the future there will be an amusement park on the Moon. Also it will be ruled by the head of Al Gore.
