I find your lack of activity disturbing

When Darth Vader wants you to wake up, you can rest assured he will find new ways to motivate you to get out of bed.

The Darth Vader Clock Radio includes an alarm clock that will wake you using one of three pre-recorded soundbytes from the voice of Vader himself, James Earl Jones. The time is displayed with glowing red LED numbers embedded in Vader’s eyes, and the radio includes a built-in input jack for your MP3 player.
It even has a snooze button, but manufacturer Sakar warns if you hit the snooze, you do so “at your own risk.”
Maybe he’ll show …read more

He’s using an old Jedi mind trick

Uncle Milton Industries, a manufacturer of science-based toys, is about to unveil a first: a toy that interacts directly with your brain. Available this August for about $120, the Star Wars Force Trainer lets you levitate a ball using only your mind. Seriously!

The toy works by reading the beta waves from your brain with a wireless headband attachment. The main part of the toy features a ping-pong ball in a clear tube and a fan underneath that allows it to float. But there are no buttons to push to activate the fan; it happens when the headband senses changes in …read more

Darth Vader USB Hub

I’m all about finding a cool USB hub. Most of the time I’m looking for something small and easily concealable; one I can tuck under the cooling bay of my notebook computer. If I had the room on my desk I would probably buy one of these though. Last week I showed you a miniature R/C R2D2 and this week is a nifty little Darth Vader USB hub.
Powered from your PC’s USB port, this 4 port USB hub, Vader turns his head, his eyes glow and he breathes that suffocating sound that is all too familiar. When you plug a …read more

Be Indiana Jones: Re-live his epic adventures in a humorous LEGO world based on the original trilogy of movies.

Microsoft PlayTable Expected Soon

 
Okay, I must be really out of touch or this stuff just isn’t hitting my radar screen as something that’s going to immediately impact my life. Have you heard of Microsoft’s PlayTable?
As usual Mary Jo Foley gets me the scoop on this bit of information.
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates also provided a PlayTable-related technology demo during his Consumer Electronics Show (CES) keynote address in 2006, when he placed a cell phone containing digital photos on a tabletop device and all the pictures “flew out of it” and could be manipulated by touch and gestures. Microsoft has shown similar surface-computing-type demos at …read more
