In todays’ world, a company should make things that are useful with a usable design.  In the case with this Solar Powered Necktie, we feel it’s been very poorly designed so no one would buy one.

Regardless, we do like the idea that you can charge your iPhone while walking down the street looking like an idiot.

Who knows, maybe no one will notice it though.

Now a group of researchers at Iowa State University have created a necktie using newly developed solar fabrics. The neat thing, is that the tiny solar panels are arranged in a grid that looks kind of like what you might see on a tie anyway. There’s even a pocket sewn into the back where you can stash the device you’re charging.

I must admit I do spend an awful amount of time in front of my computer and there’s always need for some nice toasted bread.

Here’s a Toaster Drive that will fit on any 5.25″ drive bays and you can connect it to your PC power supply for power.

How cool is that?

Now, I have a toaster to make myself breakfast without having to leave my comfy (and cheap) IKEA chair.

We listen to Gamers and what product do they want the most? Turns out Gamers crave toast. Enter the CrazyPC 5.25 Bay Toaster. What better way to satisfy that late night snack craving than a healthy piece of toast? Just slide in a slice of bread - and voila you have toast in just minutes. The Bay Toaster fits in a standard 5.25 drive bay and installs in just minutes. Comes with Windows software for adjusting heat and time (Mac OS version coming soon!)

As a proud owner of a Suzuki GSXR600, which comes with Brembo brakes as factory default, I can see why people might want to soup up their card by gluing this fake Glue-on Brembo add-ons.

Now, make sure to wait 2 to 4 hours after glueing, you don’t want those expenisve brakes falling out on you while you drive.

bogus, glue-on brake caliper covers that give you the high-performance Brembo look while perfectly maintaining your fakemobile’s incomprehensible lameness. When it comes to things that suck, innovation knows no bounds.

Here’s the video review of the $999.99 I Am Rich application for iPhone 3G.  Apparently, about 10 people have bought this bogus Apple app and it’s no longer available because it does suck so much.  (Doesn’t really qualify as a real app really)

Oh Gawd, this guy has turned a Nintendo into a lunchbox.  Please don’t do this at home guys and gals if you don’t want to look stupid with a freakin’ Nintendo sitting in your fridge while your new invited girlfriend thinks you are a super-weird geek.

If you are going to do this, at least use a Nintendo Wii.  (make sure it’s not your own, your roommate’s maybe…)

With NES popularity soaring with weird stuff that people come up with, here’s another cool NES Duck Hunt Lamp, complete with a customized hunting dog lamp cover, NES infrared gun, and the original Duck Hunt NES cartridge.

So one day I picked up an NES Zapper (gun) and went “woah, that would make a cool lamp!” So… after playing around…

College students from Korea are working on their senior year project, that’s right, an interactive toilet that will make sounds and display different shapes of pictures on an LCD based on the size and shape of “poop”.

This is very interesting as I’ve always wanted to hear something else than my regular ol’ “poop”.
