Now is your chance to live like the caped crusader on your next vacation. This Batman themed hotel room in Taiwan will let you relax and feel like Batman/Bruce Wayne. It is the ultimate getaway for Bat-fans.

Booze and Hello Kitty. Sooner or later the two had to collide. Now when you sit back and realize just how much money you have spent on Hello Kitty swag, you can drink some Hello Kitty beer and drown your sorrows.

Most movie marketing is all about creating cool looking posters and teasing us with short trailers, but there is some clever marketing happening in Taiwan for Star Trek Into Darkness. Check out Benedict Cumberbatch locked in his cell in the Ximending Shopping District.

Well, Mattel finally went out and did it. Open a Barbie-themed cafe, I mean. It’s located in Taiwan and is, as expected, fitted with furniture in various shades of pink that’ll drive any man crazy and any Barbie-loving girl equally nuts.

One of the most annoying things about headphones is dealing with the excess cable as you move around. Many earbud makers have resolved this issue by putting a small clip on the cable, but the guys at Taiwan’s 25togo didn’t think that was sufficient, and they came up with their own solution.

But that’s just what the A Posture stapler is – sexy. (At least if you’re into shoes.) It’s supposed to be energy efficient but I don’t see how or what makes it so, but who cares?

While Leonardo Da Vinci was one of the great art masters, the guy who created this version of Mona Lisa entirely out of old motherboards is a modern master in my book.
