No… words. Must breathe. Needs… oxygen. So… beautiful. We really, really, really love our steampunk gear, and we really, really, really love our Game Boy, so any creation combining the two is bound to lead to some heavy breathing and perhaps a change of pants. Thretris created this gorgeous custom Steampunk Game Boy. He also replaced the standard red LED ...

Since I haven’t been able to save up just yet for any super-comfy furniture, I always have to contort my body into the weirdest positions in order to both be comfortable and see the screen while I play my PS3. Someone walking in on me would think I was performing some sort of kinky solo Kama Sutra. This awesome PS3 ...

So what’s even cooler than playing with a scientific calculator? I know, not much. But apparently the magic happens once you gut the calculator’s innards (shame! blasphemy!) and insert, wait for it, a fully-functional Game Boy! Hooray. Rejoice. All is forgiven. FYI, I have no idea what a derivative of a function is. I just thought it sound math-y. Link ...

So you’re a private eye and your subject just happens to be a chain smoker. Sounds like a pretty common problem, right? Believe it or not, about 70% of Gearfuse readers are detectives of some sort (and that’s not even counting Asian upskirt voyeurs and superheroes). The Spycam Lighter Camera looks just like your normal run of the mill cigarette ...

The iPhone had already proven itself to be capable of unique musical instrumentation in its own right, but this iPhone orchestra is taking classical music to the next level. Students of the University of Michigan were offered the chance to take a course entitled “Building a Mobile Phone Ensemble.” Students were encouraged to use the phone’s touch-screen, microphone, GPS, compass, ...

You thought one measly iPhone and one measly app could be passed off as an actual Ocarina? Sorry Smule, we know you put your heart and soul into your Ocarina app, but this is the real deal. Using three iPhones and a specially built laser cut frame, the iPhone Ocarina is much closer to the real thing. Utilizing the iPhone’s ...

And it’s in good company. Also being inducted to the Strong National Museum of Play’s Toy Hall of Fame this year is the ball. That’s right, the ball. I always felt the Game Boy never got its true dues. The Game Boy was it. Still is “it” as far as I’m concerned. What other handheld console can you honestly say ...

…but don’t worry, they’re available in the Mac OSX flavor as well. These OS Calculators recreate the experience of using your OS’s stock calculator app, even when you’re away from your computer. A Mintpass designer recently showed off these OS Calculator concepts. Both models similarly clones its OS counterpart. These calculators will almost certainly never exist, but hey, worth checking ...

Nintendo’s president Satoru Iwata says that the company is debating whether or not a future model of the DS will take a book from Amazon’s book marketplace device, the Kindle, and offer digital downloads over the mobile 3G network. With this business model, Nintedo DS users wouldn’t be required to pay a monthly fee for 3G access, but would pay ...

The detail on these lighters is insane. I wish I had kept my hands on my old Sega Saturn and Genesis consoles. Sonic the Hedgehog taught me everything I needed to know to grow into the adult I am today. Sure, I’m an adult that laughs at the word “boobies” (lol) every time he hears it, but still. These Sega ...
