It’s Saturday. The hung over day after our Giz Gallery reader meetup, which went on late into the night with some Pizza and Xbox on the 103 inch TV with Giz Alum Benny Goldman doing his best Biggie Smalls karaoke. (Uh, if anyone got photos of any of last night’s debauchery, could you email them to me? I forgot to take photos.) Chris and I are just finishing sweeping the floors and we’re ready to have more guests look at our wonderful and weird collection of gadgets. It’s all to help buy Toys for Tots. If you’re in NYC, you have to come down. If not to see the big TV and say hello, then at least to see our special events that are happening today and today only.
Before you ask, yes it does blend—and it does it all wirelessly. This isn’t the first time we have heard about Fulton Innovation’s eCoupled intelligent wireless power system, but is the first time the technology has been demoed with a high powered device. eCoupling uses inductive coupling, which transfers energy from one device to another through a shared magnetic field. In this case, we see an eCoupled-enabled countertop pairing with a modified blender.
The original iPhone with its metal back couldn’t survive the Blender’s assault, so what chance does this iPhone 3G’s plastic spine have? Zero. Then again, has anything ever failed to blend properly? I’d say these guys need a new shtick but we keep linking and you keep clicking so I guess I’m not actually as apathetic about the whole stunt as I feel at the moment..*watching*..Ok, that’s still cool.

You’re a big man, and you’re so secure in your manhood that you’re not afraid to proclaim your manliness in everything that you do just so everyone knows that you’re a man. That’s why you’ll only make frozen mixed drinks with a blender powered by a 43cc 2-stroke engine that has handlebars for controls. That way, no one will think you’re some sort of sissy for drinking a pomegranate margarita. Because even the most manly of men enjoy a fruity frozen beverage with the boys on a hot summer’s day. It’s exactly the kind of thing you need to get some energy before going out in a roving pack and beating up people who are different from you. I’m a man! [Product Page via GearCrave]
We’re almost afraid to post this “Will It Blend” Wiimote edition video, as it’s sure to reignite the wildfire of giggling commenters who scan every post to be the first to drop that trademark line. Maybe, due to the comment publishing lag, we’ll even see two Will It Blends in a row, the ultimate Will It Blend faux pas. Three is not unheard of, but as we all know, whenever three douchebag comments hit at once we risk a black hole opening after the jump and sucking any scant intelligence not already lost to whippets and mobile phone tumors.
What better way to retain your masculinity whilst preparing some fruity, girly, mixed drink than to put it in a specially designed blender that can be attached to a standard cordless drill? Perfect for use on a boat, on a construction site, or during any other manly activity. People will surely say, “look at that dude preparing an Appletini with a cordless drill. Damn that’s rugged.” Available for $US28.95. [Product Page via Shiny Shiny]
We present the latest evolution in “Will It Blend?” technology: A 900-watt, 20,000-RPM blender with a built-in tachometer. Although I’ve been quite happy with my run-of-the-mill Cuisinart, I have slight gadget lust for the brushed steel-y, $150 L’Equip RPM blender and a pulsing desire to see how many RPMs it takes to liquefy my new GH controller. It’s 2008′s version of “How Many Licks?” [Tabletools.com via
This woman got a real engagement diamond ring —the hardest substance known to man— inside what it looks to be a Blendtec blender. Then she added some water and pressed the “Ice Crush” button. And no, I won’t say the question, but you can watch the results in the video after the jump.
It seems like just yesterday we showed you the Transformers meeting their maker in the Blendtec blender, and now it’s the iPhone’s turn. Behold, fanboys and haters alike: The iPhone is not immortal. Just don’t breathe its dust when it’s all over. [Blendtec YouTube Channel]
In another obvious ploy for publicity, page views and notoriety, the Blendtec Corporation this time puts the Transformers to the test in its (figuratively) fire-breathing and (literally) nail-chewing blender. What will happen? Will Bumblebee suddenly transform into the formidable beast he really is, fighting his way out of that spinning cauldron of certain death? What about that car? Will it blend?
