Fat Shark offers one of the coolest remote controlled toy cars.
Its system has a camera mounted in the car's driver's seat. It transmits its signal wirelessly to VR-style goggles that give the operator a first-person view of the terrain ahead of the car itself. That alone would be neat, but the camera has pan and tilt functionality that the driver controls by simply moving his or her head to "look" in each direction.

The Motorcycle Engine USB Hub roars to life as soon as you plug it in. The motor moves and idles for a few moments before calming down. You can plug in up to 3 USB 2.0 devices, but it is the starter pedal and gear shift that make this hub so much fun. You can bring the engine to life at any time by revving it. Shift gears to elicit a different sound. Each rev will let your whole office know that you mean business; each idle will make their USB hubs quake with fear. Just like a motorcycle chews up and spits out the road, so will the Motorcycle Engine USB Hub chew up and spit out all other hubs. Get one now.
Motorcycle Engine USB Hub features:
- 3 port hub - USB 2.0, of course.
- Loud motorcycle sounds with moving engine
- Starter pedal and gear shift moving parts with appropriate sound and motion
- Dimensions: 4.5" x 4.7" x 3.5"

The secret to the USB Doomsday Device is simple - it has three levels of failsafe protection. In order to arm the Device, you first need to activate switch one. Then, you need to activate switch two. Then (and stay with us here, because this is where it gets a little crazy), you need to activate switch three. Switch three is a key switch, and only authorized personnel should have a copy of the key. Once all three switches are turned on (in order) the Main light will glow red. This means the Device is armed and very dangerous.
All that is left to do is flip back the plastic shield and press the red button for an explosive sound effect. But what really happens when you press the button? We're not sure. Perhaps 15 kittens explode; perhaps your bank account lowers by a fraction of a cent; perhaps you start an interplanetary war trillions of parsecs away by blowing up the caravan of Queen Knorb'l. But one thing is clear - before pushing the button, you must ask yourself, "Do I feel lucky, punk? Well...do I?" Because, who knows, the explosion you hear from the USB Doomsday Device might just be the sound of your brain vaporizing.
If you are looking forward to plug some eSATA products to your laptop there were until recently very few choices, and today Buffalo came with a very interesting product the IFC-EC2SU2, which is in fact an ExpressCard 34/54 with 1 USB 2.0 port and an eSATA one (300MB/s Max)… Pretty handy indeed but unfortunately this product only comes with XP and Vista drivers…

Last December, as we were settling down for a long winter's nap, we were visited by two robots from the future! They spoke to us and now it is time to share their message. There's good news and bad news. The good news is there are tons of really cool robots in the future. The bad news is they are divided into two factions, are waging war against each other, and have "downgraded" humans to pretty much servants and food. We quickly smashed the robots with hammers, and swore to devise a way to save humanity.
