USB Lab Flash Drive



Designer Gerard Moline
has come up with a USB flash drive concept called the USB Lab. It is shape like a cross.

This double functionality of an object symbolizes the adaptation to the social and cultural changes in the Information Age.

Another good point, since it is a holy item, thou shall not keep any evil data inside. Amen.

The Self Measuring Condom

If you ever wanted to know how you measure up in the bedroom checkout the, Condometric, it kind of does what you’d expect. Roll on, read the measurement then jump into bed (or turn the lights out and sneak under the covers).

More info and pictures over on the Condometric.

AK-47 Bullet Ice Tray


While most ice cubes come in a hollowed out cylindrical or square form factors, here’s a novel way for you to let your guests literally bite the bullet - with the AK-47 bullet ice tray. Just fill one part with water until it reaches the top, place the next half above, press it down and let the freezer do the job for you. Within the stipulated time, you’ll end up with crystal clear bullet lookalikes that will go down well with the AK-47 cocktail. The AK-47 ice tray can be yours for $13, although the missus might not approve of such a juvenile object in HER freezer.

Nikon Media Port UP puts TV on your eye



Oh no, not another one of these video headsets that still have yet to catch on. This particular one that you see here is from camera giant Nikon and called the Media Port UP.

Most of these video headsets that we have reported on, like the myvu, are usually designed to take video files off of the iPod and make them a private experience for the viewer. I’ve got to give kudos to the Media Port UP because it is WiFi ready, and allows the user to view files with the Windows Media Player.

So, are we looking at the next stage of mobile computing? No more laptops or netbooks, but surf the web while you’re walking around. Well, it does have a memory of 4 to 8 gigabyte hard drive.

Other specs include 120 minutes of playback time for video, and 270 minutes of playback time for music. The Media Port UP is even designed with some hands-free operation. So when a user moves his or her head, it somehow affects the playing.

Not bad, but does it have to be so ugly? I mean, look at the lady in this picture. I feel like she should be telling me “Resistance is Futile”. Would it have been even more freaky if they designed it to view with two eyes. Right now, you should be able it at the Up Store for about $580.
