Take that toaster scanner thing for example, a neat idea but totally worthless to anyone who isn’t scamming people by selling Mother Teresa-faced toast on eBay.� We recently took a look at JooYoun Paek’s website. She’s an artist and interactive designer that takes ...

iPhone Cupcakes
Wow! These are some delicious-looking cupcakes made by Nick Bilton and Danielle Bilton that take the form of an iPhone menu. They won the cupcake contest that was held at last night’s Ignite NYC II event. I would have gone but I’m not trying to get diabetes. NOM! Link

Super kudos to whoever came up with this slick idea. Don’t want some hungry motherfucker eating your delicious McChicken?

Just because you killed off your Heineken mini-keg all doesn’t mean the fun has to end there. Why not make use of it by turning the keg into a guitar amplifier? eBay seller k_hessler� puts these amplifiers together (whilst under the influence) so he can sell them on the Internet for $119.99.

While not as tasty as Apple pie or a Mac Pro, these cufflinks are sufficient enough to pick up even the dorkiest of women. Designed by Etsy user Beaujangles (what a great semi-racist pun!), these go for $50 a set.

Today, Intel launched its first ever six-core processor: the Xeon 7400. While the name might not be as complex as the name Sony is giving to their new line of laptops, it certainly should be. Everything about this processor is “no joke” as it is geared towards high-end computing, like those used by the scientists working on the Large Hadron ...

Found in France, design studio Boucherie Moderne has created some killer three-dimensional tattoos. While some claim they look “animated,” I feel that these are just standard 3-D images on skin. Slap on a pair of glasses and it’ll look like it’s popping out at you. I’d love to get one on my fist. That way, when I punch someone, I ...

We’d go to extreme measures to protect our automobiles even during a hurricane as extreme as Ike because let’s face it: no one wants to drive through flooding waters when they can just tie their car to a tree and hope for the best.
