So you probably got used to using your regular controllers for your Wii, XBox 360 or PS3. That is what most people did and many of them never thought much of it either.

The following 17 game console controllers have been modded in ways which left them much different than their original forms.
Apple had their annual iPod refresh event today and went all out on iPods. They introduced a new iPod Touch, along with an iPod Nano which goes back to the vertical form factor of the second generation. This new gadget rocks a bigger screen, an accelerometer (just like the iPhone’s) and a Genius function (which lets you arrange your songs on the go based on how the songs blend together).
It also has a brand new feature: shake your iPod to shuffle the music! (more…)
Let us pause for a moment and stand in awe.
Here stands the wave of the future: a car that can travel 40 miles without using a single drop of gas. It requires no fill-ups every 40 miles, all you have to do is plug it into the wall to recharge it. It has an extra clean burning ethanol engine to create electricity if you run out.
It is made by the same people who killed the electric car in the last century, the same people who are now working to bring it back better than ever.
Still, this car has the world agog two years before it will even come out on the market. (more…)

This USB powered Airsoft Gun turret has a barrel mounted camera so you can see what it’s shooting at. It has automatic firing, or you can control it remotely from a PC using a joystick. It allows you to tilt and rotate the gun (and camera) to target objects manually. More.
How many of you have complained about the pitiful number of USB ports there are on a computer? I myself have used up all of the ports plus a powered hub and still I need more. Well RiTEK hears your pain, and they have come up with a great solution. Take a look at the Yego USB Flash Drive. That’s right, a flash drive that acts as a mini hub for more devices. Now that pesky problem of where to plug the old flash drives is solved!
But there’s more to the Yego than a splitter! This flash drive can lock it’s ports and only let in the person with the right password. This is not file by file, it’s the entire flash drive encoded with a password. (more…)
This is the Life Wall by Panasonic. An extremely thin 150″ TV that does amazing things. It has face recognition so that it recognizes the face(s) that watch it and adjusts the display or program to that person’s preferences automatically.
How about having a TV that will move with you as you walk around the living room to keep the display right in front of you? The display would be large or small depending on how far away from the screen you were. It could display a screen saver instead of a 
black screen when turned off.
Powerful life-size images could dance with you, and videophone linkups would look like the caller was in the same room.
Video games would take on a whole new dimension with endless possibilities. School could be at home while the teacher could be at school. (more…)
