Despite exploding batteries, no rumble in the PS3 (well, maybe), their commitment to $600 PS3s, and oh, meh PS3 sales, Sony somehow emerged as the most powerful brand in a study by AlixPartners, besting among others, Tylenol and Toyota. Better yet, AlixPartners claims to ascertain “true brand power, which the index measures via a sophisticated consumer trust-versus-distrust formula.” So you guys trust Sony? I have a moon to sell you. And it’s only $600.
Oh wait, the survey was conducted in Fall 2006. It all makes sense now.– Matt Buchanan

Although we suck really hard at guitar (but we’re fairly decent at Guitar Hero), we can still appreciate this custom made Villainizer steampunk guitar. It’s a one-off guitar custom made out of a Rhodes Jackson V, with gauges, gears, pipes, welds, and a bunch of fake rust.
You probably can’t get your hands on this one, but if you pay the maker a couple thousands bucks he may create one just for you. – Jason Chen

As soon as you place an item in the Hand Butler’s palm, it starts scurrying in whatever direction he’s pointed in, so you’ll never have to pass the popcorn yourself again. Attempts to send it flying off the table to annoy your friend that dropped $20 on it will end in failure, however, because it automatically stops at the edge of a table.
I want to know the weight limit though because I’d kind of like to try putting a baby on it and watch the hilarity ensue. – Matt Buchanan

Back in January Sony gave us a look at their WA1 music streamer—a compact boombox that hooks up to your Wi-Fi network and lets you stream music from your PC. The player, which comes in white and black, also streams music from the Internet and can hook up to just about any audio equipment you have (it’s got aux-in, optical out, and RCA connections).
Here’s the catch. It costs $350, which is a lot of dough to fork over for a streamer. So we called one in to see if the WA1 is worth your cash. Let’s start superficially: looks-wise the WA1 is a winner.
