Tech Tuesday

Famous You Tube Boombox
Mighty Healthy and Diamond may have kept their iPod dock collabos slim, but Travis Barker went large with this Famous Stars and Straps x Lasonic mash-up. It looks like an old-school with an all-over printed dock. Besides boasting an iPod slot on the sly, this 80s baby wet dream has radio and microphone capabilities as well as external TV, DVD, and CD player connection options. Complex magazine head the luxury of testing this joint out. Peep this video: The boombox should be available at Famous retailers this week.

When Nintendo launches their new WiiWare game download service in May, Major League Eating will be one of the first titles available. The game lets all closet fatties participate in some intense stuff-face competitions. With a variety of Wii controller motions, you have to out eat your opponent in a variety of cuisines.

The Borg's New Toy
The Borg have created their rendition of a media player. The new gadget has 2GB of storage. As an added bonus it supports MP3 and WMA files, and is compatible with PlaysForSure content. The Bog plan to drop this on us May 1st for $99. It's a nice look for a simple music player. Cop one here.

Worry no more ladies these charmingly disguised stun guns can deliver 350,000 volts of agony to an assailant. They have an LED flashlight built-in, and come with a charger. Who ever though lipchap was so killer. If you want to feel safer, they're available for $49.95 in a variety of shades and shapes. Just don't forget and try to apply on your lips...not a good look.


Google 007 Spybot
Google is starting to wild out. There is no reason Google Earth users can see such in depth pictures of personal property. It's like if Google was spying on your crib! Anyway, the Google Street View vehicle drove down a gravel road named Goldenbrook Lane. At the end of this lane, the street becomes a paved driveway for the private residence of the McKee Family. The vehicle drove up this private driveway, eventually passing the house's front door and pulling up to the garage where it got an excellent view of the McKees' prized trampoline. This is OD, why the hell is this system in existence again? Oh, right precisely to spy on humans? On some real though the driver just became lost in a rural area. Although, how would you feel if this was your crib, and millions of people had access to these photos?
A Great Alternative
So it seems like every week another product drops that targets an industry segment in which Apple has already dominated. This week is no different, but it is always good to have great alternatives. The recently released HP 2133 Mini-Note UMPC is definitely a good look. The 2.5 pound notebook with a (1280 x 768) high resolution screen comes with a battery that will last you a little over 3 hours.

China Vision Sun Visor

Sun in your eyes, nope, DVD in your face! Thanks to China Vision’s interactive Sun Visor, a three-in-one mini-entertainment system at the flip of a visor. The 7-inch Sun Visor combines DVD, TV and Radio capabilities with a high-definition LCD touch screen for under $300.This is a good look...for those riding shotgun on road trips.
