You know the old tale about how talking to plants is supposed to help them grow? I’ve always thought of that as a lot of rubbish, but a project named Cantaro has flipping the tables and enabled the plants to talk back to you. Cantaro involves a hacked portable CD player that is attached to [...]

Sorry Joan Rivers, Hoverit Lounger is officially sliding into the pole position for the most hideously awkward looking piece of plastic flittering around, although we’ll totally understand if you want to envy its defiance of gravity above all else. No solid plans for price or production, but really, who’s rushing to sit in this thing? [...]

This fish pipeline connects two fish tanks over a respectable distance (looks to be several tens of feet), allowing fish to travel from one tank, up and over the floor of a coffee shop, into [...]

Those cool looking gear clocks are becoming more and more popular. Here’s a new all chrome version of that colorful Visible Dual Gear Gadget Clock that we covered late last year.

High-end Swiss imaging specialist Seitz has released its latest eye-popper, 6-by-17-format camera that captures images at a whopping 160 megapixels, That means a single full-res image takes up nearly a gigabyte of space, so besides the challenge of schlepping the camera around, you’ll probably need a sherpa with a RAID cluster for storage.
But, aah, [...]

We’ve seen plenty of newfangled contact lenses in the past, but it looks like a team of researchers at the University of Washington may have outdone them all, with their latest creation promising not only heads-up displays, but “superhuman vision.” That’s apparently possible thanks to a combination of lights and circuits, which they’ve managed to [...]

While some people want to make their technology as big and as noticeable as possible, people without complexes that demand that they get validation every five minutes would rather make their personal technology more subtle. That’s why strange devices such as this BooM China Vase/iPod speaker are just going to get more and more common [...]

There are some ridiculous timepieces on the market these days. Some of them are next to impossible to understand. This watch, however, is not.

A laser beam aimed at the exact center of the target is the only way to turn off the alarm aound in the morning. When someone wakes up to [...]

 
Researchers at a US laboratory claim to have created the darkest material ever; a carbon nanotube which is one atom thick and rolled into a cylinder. For an object to be completely black, it must absorb all the colors of light over every angle and wavelength while reflecting none back, and scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic [...]

With a pair of Anti-Gravity Boots worn over your shoes, you’ll feel taller, have more of a spring in your step, and will probably have a higher chance of getting horribly injured just by simply walking around. The Boots utilize a heavy-duty rubber T-spring that you can swap out if anything happens to it, and [...]

All you Aibo fans out there crying your eyes out because the Sony robo-dog has been discontinued can finally dry your tears. A new electronic mutt from Sega called the MIOpup hopes to take up where Aibo left off. Although the MIOpup isn’t as visually slick as its predecessor, the robo-dog features a couple of [...]

Nothing gets our hearts pumping quite like crazy watches, as you may know, so it’s no surprise that we’re smitten with the new line of Nooka watches that just dropped.
