Cotton Candy-Making Machine Gives You Sugar on a Stick in Three Minutes
11:38PM Gizmodo US Edition | The sweet-toothed might just appreciate the Ame de Watame cotton candy maker. The $US229 machine allows you to make your own cotton candy from real candy—which means you can have just about any kind of flavor you want, including cough sweets. Just toss the candy in the machine, stick a stick in the bowl and three minutes later you’re ready to roll. [Kilian-Nakamura's Japan Trend Shop] More »

Rather than throw your clothes on the floor, simply aim them at the pegs on the wall. More info and pics below. More »

10:30PM Gizmodo US Edition | Behold the new Aria, the only worthy case for the new, magical and still-completely-inexistent MacBook Air. It looks absolutely amazing. Lickable. Pantsable. Apparently it’s made of italian leather and aluminium by Orbino. Or probably, just Italian pixels and cappuccino vapour: More »

The Downfall of HD DVD, Now Available on Blu-ray
9:15PM Gizmodo US Edition | I swear that when I did the image for Variety’s report on HD DVD defections I never saw this hilarious version of Der Untergang, subtitled with very funny dialogue about the last minutes of HD DVD in the bunker, the inevitable end of the war. The best part: probably when everyone leaves the room and the premonitory—and obvious—dig at Paramount and Universal. [Thanks Lukas] More »

Build Me If You Want to Live, Lego Terminator Skull Gives Us the Evil Eye
9:10PM Gizmodo US Edition | We love Lego, we do, but this evil Lego skull, inspired by Arnie’s death-machine Terminator, is almost a step too far toward science-fiction-becomes-reality-and-rips-our-neck-apart. Those eyes are following me! Ok, so those eyes are actually motor driven using parts from a Mindstorms set, as is the chomping jaw, but its creator Snyderman has gone so far beyond the usual comfy Lego model it’s creepy. Thank god he restrained himself to just the skull. Still, a good way to entertain yourself while waiting for the next Sarah Connor Chronicle. [Brothers Brick via Gizmowatch] More »

StreamMyGame Lets You Play PC Games on Your PS3, Reduces Need to Ever Leave Your Couch
8:15PM Gizmodo US Edition | We almost did not believe it, but those guys at StreamMyGame have included a video in which they are playing Crysis on their PS3, all streamed from their PC. There is no visible lag, and the resolution is user definable. In short; it looks crisp. Check out the tutorial above, but skip through to the money shot at 07:55, unless you are setting it up, in which case you will need to go through it all. If that does not get your pants wet, we’ll have to send Jason in with his dildos (NSFW.) [StreamMyGame via Akihabara News] More »

iFolio Converts iPhone into Ultra-Light Laptop, So Light It Doesn’t Exist
6:40PM Gizmodo US Edition | With visions of the MacBook Air hovering tantalisingly before us, one designer took a page from the now-dead Palm Foleo and has docked the iPhone into a really barebones 12″ chassis—essentially nothing more than a screen, keyboard and USB ports. Willy Yonkers, its creator, thinks that if you kept it simple it could sell for as little as $US150. Too bad it’s a pipe dream, even if it looks a bit fugly. [Willy Yonkers via Yanko Design] More »
