Remember those sliding picture puzzles that terrorised you as a kid? Now that idea has been taken to a new level with this concept design of a sliding puzzle desk by Hsien Chang. The panels on top of the desk slide around to unveil different storage areas where a variety of your goods can be kept and organized. This desk only has a total of four tiles covering five different compartments, so it is a fairly easy puzzle to navigate through. –Travis Hudson

It’s ball day over at Brando, which is why they’ve just released a USB Ball Hub and a USB Ball Card Reader.
These are exactly like they sound: a USB card reader and a USB hub, both shaped like balls. The reader flips up and open to reveal different ports to plug into and includes microSD, miniSD, and M2 support. The hub, on the other hand, is just a USB hub that lets you plug in things at different angles so they don’t bump up against each other.
The last time we saw so much of Brando’s balls was on the set of the original Superman. – Jason Chen

Are you often masturbating with the worry that someone’s staring at you through your iSight? Fear not, the iPatch is here to save your dignity. Just place the plastic iPatch — which is available in four different colors and two different shapes — over your iSight and you can be sure that nobody is looking at you.
For those of you that are even thinking about buying this, you should be aware that there’s a green light next to the iSight that comes on whenever the camera’s active. Available for iMacs now and MacBooks and MacBook Pros later. – Jason Chen

Sick of the other billionaires at the Yacht Club snickering at your silly plastic mouse? Yeah, me too. Earth-Treck has answered our needs and created a mouse wrapped in the luxurious brown or black leather. If you still haven’t impressed your peers, this mouse comes with a matching USB hub. That should woo over the billionaires in no time. I think the Akihabara News translators said it best: “How sweet is that ?” No word on pricing or availability. –Travis Hudson

Screwdrivers with multiple changeable heads are nothing new, but this Multi Screwdriver tops all those by expanding out like an octopus. This makes it both easy to see which tip you want and easy to poke your eye out eight different ways.
And to make sure you can see what you’re doing, there’s an added light on the end as well, which is probably the only reason why you’d buy this over regular multi-headed screwdrivers. Unless you just really love extending out the bits and shouting “I’m Doctor Octopus!!” in a really high-pitched voice. – Jason Chen

Like Lam with his pink Japanese blowjob machine, I was debating whether I should post this. But if you can handle his pink blowjobber, you can handle this Robotech Thruster machine.
The thruster attaches to a table or other solid surface and has a “Highspeed piston,” “Powerful movement” and a “High quality stabilizer”. It’s essentially a masturbation machine you control with that hand lever, which varies speed and intensity depending on how you like it.
Kanjo Toys claims that it’s fantastic because you don’t have to buy new “onacups” to put in it, which we’re guessing means you’re going to have to wash this when you’re done. No word on whether it’s dishwasher safe.
Better shot after the jump.
For those of you who have been trying to keep their computers Microsoft-free by using OpenOffice, be weary of a new macro worm. Upon activation it will automatically start downloading bunny-man porn.
It’s not just terrorists that can take down power plants. Faulty networks can too. The Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant in Tennessee came to a screeching halt due to “excessive use” of the company’s Ethernet network. Great—another thing I need to worry about.
Intel has become the latest company to try and “green” itself up. They are going to remove lead from all of their 45 nm processors, and eventually 65 nm processors as well. Kudos, Earth buddy.
They said it couldn’t be done, but the trends are saying otherwise. Illegal downloading among kids has shown a decrease. Although most kids that stayed away from illegal downloads were more concerned with downloading a virus rather than facing legal trouble.– Ben Longo
newVideoPlayer("small_tv_gawker.flv", 475, 376); Taking more than just a few pages from Snow Crash, this Teleglass T3-F eyeglasses add-on does for video what iPods have done for audio—namely, allow you to watch it anywhere.
By clipping the video display to your eyeglasses, you can watch video from your iPod or other portable display device in one eye while supposedly paying attention to what you’re doing with the other. Although that’s technically good, we still don’t want to see how many Japanese commuters accidentally step onto the tracks when watching this. At $US820, it’s an expensive way to die. – Jason Chen

This lamp may be a little deceiving for those avid beer drinkers like myself, but it could still be a nice addition to any classy living room. The only downside is that whoever poured this $US45 beer mug lamp did a horrible job. Look at all of that head! My beer lighting needs are already satisfied with the Plasma Beer Mug :–Travis Hudson
