The only thing more important to us than the coolest geeky shit on the web is you guys. Where would we be without you? Well, for one, we’d be homeless. Two, we would have shut down long ago. So really, thank you, thank you, thank you, for being so damn awesome. Now, the meat and potatoes of this here post. ...

Created by artist and avid gamer Kalapusa, this life-sized Piranha Plant illustrates what life might be like if we lived in a world closer to Mario’s world. Composed of a special mix of acrylics, clay and a strengthened wire skeleton, I wouldn’t get too close to this thing with any animals lighter than 50 lbs. It’s looking mighty hungry. This ...

There has already been a fair share of quips about the video camera on the new 5th generation iPod Nano, most having to deal with the video quality and the positioning of the lens on the device.

Even if there is a cooling fan, and even if the power supply and mother board are kept at separate ends ...

Thanko might not be known for their practicality, but I think they might be on to something for once. Their Micro Sports MP3 Player looks more like a Bluetooth headset.
