Could This Be the New World’s Crappiest Projector?
1:10AM Dan Nosowitz | To be fair, unlike the current anti-champion of crappy projectors, the Ultra Projector isn’t really designed as an alternative to, well, real projectors. But even so, this thing doesn’t include audio of any sort. WTF?

12:00AM John Mahoney | The Z-Nano mouse is claiming smallest optical mouse in the world: it’s about the size of the finger you will use to daintily stab at its buttons. See it in diminutive action.

11:03AM Nick Broughall | I hate Christmas time. Don’t get me wrong – Christmas day is fantastic, and I love giving gifts to my friends and family. But I hate the lead up, especially because it means that every random company and their dog sends me press releases on their completely random products and claim that they’re “the perfect gift”. Such is the case of the “Snorer’s Friend”. But rather than me bitch about it, why don’t you read the email I found in my inbox for yourself? More »
Give A Snorer The Gift Of Shutting The Hell Up This Christmas

Marware’s Game Grip Will Aesthetically Ruin Your iPhone
11:00AM Gizmodo US Edition | Gaming on the iPhone and iPod touch could be great with the addition of a gamepad handle: the promise of the iControlPad comes to mind. But the iPhone platform doesn’t deserve two giant foam handles that do nothing but ruin the sleek lines of the device, providing no buttons, no extra battery life, and no added functionality. Hell, the thing doesn’t even look comfortable to hold. It’s available for pre-order now and costs a whopping $US50. For foam. [Crunchgear] More »

USB Hub, Speaker, Clock Gizmo Looks Like Bad Sci-Fi Prop
1:30AM Kit Eaton | Check out this all-in-one USB gadget: it wraps up a 4-way USB hub, speakers and digital alarm clock in one box. In one big, ugly, LED-laden, stolen from a bad B-grade sci-fi TV show set box. It’s even battery powered for when your PC’s off. It’s so very, very bad, it goes roaring out the other side of badness and comes sneaking back in as something wonderful. I love it… and it’s just $US18. [Ubergizmo] More »

Darth Vader TV/DVD Has Lightsaber Remote
12:00AM Jesus Diaz | I like Star Wars. I even like some Star Wars merchandising, like the awesome R2-D2 projector or all the Lego Star Wars. But Lucas has to stop market-raping his franchises at once, for the love of all that is good, small, green, and lives in swamps. Example: this horrific 14-inch Darth Vader TV/DVD combo. Seriously, I can’t understand how Lucasfilm can approve the crap above and don’t do the best Star Wars promotional merchandise ever. Not even its lightsaber remote can save this cheapo TV from entering the ever-expanding Shitty Star Wars Merchandise Universe. More »
