Lego Darth Vader Key Chain Has A Led Light In its Foot

So yeah, Lord Vader has got a lamp on his foot. Oh wait, make that feet. Both of them got the sparkly stuff. Odd placement but keep in mind this is a Lego miniature. Dubbed a Mini Torch (emphasis on mini), this Darth Vader incarnation can’t do much else besides a minute amount of illumination. Oh yeah, maybe it can hold a couple of Lego lightsabers, but other than that, nada.

Airdrop Irrigation Turns Air To Water (Video)

Being an inventor rocks. No surprise that Edward Linacre is probably feeling great right now. Not only is he $14,000 richer thanks to acing the 2011 Dyson Award, but his little device could change the world. Airdrop Irrigation is a clever contraption that collects condensation, humidifies it, and collects the resulting moisture in a small underground tank. Real simple stuff indeed. The ebst part is it works. Linacre field tested it in his mom’s house.

Sportiiis Projects An HUD Onto Your Sunglasses

That’s no typo. It’s really spelled Sportiiis. Yup, with a lot of iiiiiisss. But hold on, because this is one impressive gadget. Too bad it can’t be sued for gaming. See, the health uber-conscious part of the population has a tendency to sport cool eyewear. What the Sportiiis does is use a series of LED bulbs to inform the wearer of health stats. Neat, huh?

First Gen iPod Nano Recalled Globally

Listen up iPod Nano owners, here’s the score. Apple issued a bad batch of first generation Nano’s in late 2005. Now, after so many years, they’ve realized how bad it actually is. Or should it be was? Grammar is confounding! Anyway, in a gesture of corporate responsibility a global recall is now ongoing.  The problem is the stricken batch could be harboring batteries that go up in flames.

Party Hub Blacktop 360 Fryer Cooks Pretty Much Anything

For some bizarre reason, cooking appliances have the bad habit of making it on this site. It’s cool though, since as of late, so many cooking appliances have arrived armed with really neat features. Guilty of the same is the Blacktop 360, a novel saucer shaped four-legged frying and deep frying marvel. It’s actually the Blacktop 360 HFI Premium Party Hub Grill. That’s too long, so let it stick at Blacktop 360.

Suzuki Outs Colorful Compact Car Concept For Hipsters

Okay, so maybe consigning it to the hipster crowd is a little cruel. Can’t be helped though, just look at those colors! Also, it’s a compact car! Exclamation points aside, Suzuki seem proud enough to tout their latest non-creation to the press. See, the way the trend is going now, every major automaker is preparing to unleash small compact cars to flood city streets. Better kiss that guzzling SUV goodbye then.

Oops! Russian Mars Probe Caught In Epic Fail

The bad part is the epic failure transpired in low orbit. To think everything went down (or should it be up) smoothly on Wednesday when a rocket lifted off at Baikonur. The problem is the moment the probe was supposed to enter its designated orbit on its long Martian journey, well, zip. Nada. Turns out the boosters wouldn’t activate.

This Candle Holder Is Supposed To Be A Major Innovation

Sadly, this particular candle holder doesn’t light on its own. Nope, that’s not what the title of this post implied. Hold on though, because it is a game changer in its own small way. If you haven’t noticed yet, then by all means hit the jump and finish reading this post.

Robot Polar Bear Pillow Soothes Obnoxious Snorers (Video)

Only the Japanese are ingenious enough to wrap a really smart gadget inside a cute polar bear. It’s called Jukusui-kun, which means deep sleeper. What it does is adjust a person’s sleeping position to keep them from snoring. The magic is one of its paws moves to the sleeper’s head and tickles it. Sort of annoying, but apparently it works. Just check out the video after the jump.

Xbox.com Adds Xbox Live Gold Auto-Renewal Cancellation Options

Today turned out to be a mystical day after all, since nothing short of supernatural energies could have made Microsoft relinquish its white-knuckled grip on our sadly vulnerable attention spans and, by extension, wallets.  Xbox.com is getting a makeover, bringing it in line with the new Metro UI as well as finally adding auto-renewal cancellation functionality.
