There are mods and there are Mods. And the VHS Toaster definitely fits into the capitalised category. (Read on for video.)


The marriage of a Daewoo VHS deck and a Swan Elegance single-slot toaster, the only way it could be better is if it burned little tape spools into the toast. DVDs could work too, you know, if the toaster were completely self-loathing. [Instructables via Hack-a-Day]

The old-fashioned wooden frame is there, but supplemented by four LCD widescreens, mounted vertically. That leaves you free to choose what pictures you’re using to break up your living space into themes. It’ll probably leave you with an empty wallet too, given current LCD prices for displays that big, but there’s no info on pricing or availability. That doesn’t stop me from lusting after this though… maybe I can achieve the same effect with some MDF, a Dremel and a couple of cheapo LCD photo frames from the local store? [Born Rich]

Basically Profile 2.0 means it supports all of 1.1’s specs (like picture-in-picture) and adds web functionality (aka BD-Live). More mundanely, it supports 1080p via HDMI and upscales DVD and JPEGs to full HD resolution. No price or street date yet, but we know we like the shiny blue shell. [The Register]

You can either dock your iPod, or play DVDs, VCDs and CDs on the device, including any CD-R/RWs. There’s also a USB port and card reader, so any thumb drives or SD/MMC cards will work just fine too. That’s a lot of options for media storage. It will play back MP3, JPG and DivX formats, but there’s no news yet on price or a release date. [IFA]
