I found Norm from youtube and thought i MUST share his video as I concur with his opinion about some gadgets out there that’s really APOC (a piece of crap).

You know what else an iPod charger can do besides, well, charge your iPod? You can use it as a weapon to protect yourself from rapists. Seriously.

The police arrested a serial rapist suspected of raping a woman on Staten Island over the weekend. The Advance reports NYPD received a tip on their CrimeStoppers hotline and picked up 23-year-old Thomas Fields, who was picked out of a line-up. Also: “Sources told the Advance the woman fought back during the rape by jabbing her iPod charger into Fields’ neck. He still bore two prong marks on the neck from the charger.” Fields had grabbed the victim and dragged her behind a church. A neighbor who heard the woman’s screams call 911; when police arrived, Fields allegedly said, “It’s cool. She’s my girl,” before escaping, but leaving behind a yellow jacket with Sylvester the Cat on it. Fields raped two women when he was 15; he was convicted and sentenced in 2001 and released on parole last year.

Need some help walking because your knees are buckling from the excess weight?

It looks like you don’t even need to put effort in walking no-more….oh the humanity.

Being disabled does not stop KitsuneYume from playing his favorite games but controllers can be quite tricky when you do not have full manoeuvrings of your hands. But it’s okay, you can use your toes instead. KitsuneYume modded the PS3 into a toe console where he can use to play his favorite games like Heavenly Sword, Mirror’s Edge, Eternal Sonata, etc etc..

He said, “The main reason I put this on the PlayStation website was to show people that even the most limited person can still enjoy console gaming just as much… anyone else. the controller was pretty easy to make except for converting the analog signals into digital signals for when I use the various switches. this took about two months to build and get working effectively.”

Nicely done, KitsuneYume…

If he decides to do this for a living i think he’d make big bucks. If a disabled man can do something purposeful like modding consoles and showing the world he can kick ass in videogames, mentally and physically able bodied beggars on the streets can do better too.

A man name Freud was so obsessed with the fear of being buried alive built himself a tomb equipped with TV, food and fresh air. For fresh air, he has a tube that runs up 6ft above ground. The tube also has megaphones that would allow him to shout for help in case he wasn’t really dead. LOL

Geezus…the gadget gods are laughing at this one.

Bartenders can kiss their jobs goodbye?

Please get me that Zune set, then I can stop hankering for the new iPod Nano.

You hear this term for your pets because if they were to get lost you can locate them. But what about humans? Some people in higher power are contemplating implementing such rules one day when we all have a microchip under our skin so they can monitor our temperature, emotions, thoughts and our whereabouts….

These slipper don’t just keep your toes warm, they make robotic sounds too. Now you can walk around like a transformer robot.
