First released in 2011, the Nintendo 3DS has been re-released both as the bigger 3DS XL and as the the cheaper, kid-friendly 2DS. In today’s “Nintendo Direct” video update, Nintendo announced the “New Nintendo 3DS,” an update to the platform that’s somewhere between a minor update and a full-fledged follow-up. Read More
Just about everybody thinks they have got a cookbook in them so you have to have a pretty strong angle or gimmick to get one to actually sell. Even the “gimmicks” are running rather thin — from every kind of diet plan under the sun to those for every charity under that same sun. The latest idea is a really tasty one — literally. The novelty of this particular tome is that it is the one and only Edible Cookbook.
When I was in grade school, I used poorly engineered retractable pen cannons to fire tiny beads at my friends an enemies during class. I thought it was pretty cool but this mini grappling gun puts all my pre-adolescent tinkering to shame.

Facebook’s Messenger app isn’t new — it’s been around since 2011. It was up to users to decide if they wanted a separate app or if they liked exchanging messages inside the regular Facebook app. Now if users tap the message icon on Facebook, a…
HTC has something special planned for IFA, and it looks like it might be a 64-bit capable phone. Dubbed the Desire 820, it might be everything you want a mid-range device to be, with a big screen and massive battery.

Have you ever been overwhelmed with so many things to do that you immediately become tired? If you have the willpower to only sleep 20-40 minutes, it can be a very helpful way to refresh your brain. Of course, the hard part is laying down and forcing yourself to do your work after that amount of time rather than continuing to sleep.
If you think you can use this responsibly, the Nap Time Office Chair would be a wonderful addition to your work place. This is a black leather chair that can recline all the way back, and has a support for your feet. It has a chrome base, and should be able to support up to 250 pounds. This way you won’t have to fear leaning too far back in your chair as much. Don’t think for a second that you’ll be incapable of tipping yourself over in this chair though, because that is always possible.
This is no run-of-the-mill seat, so you should be prepared to take on a hefty price tag. This will cost you around $400. Unless you intend for this to be at your home office, you might want to run this by your boss first, just to make sure they don’t mind the fact that you will definitely be napping on the job from time to time. Some higher-ups are cool with that sort of thing because of all the studies that prove taking a nap or two during the day can actually increase your productivity.

This beautiful custom SNES was created by ozcan and it really makes me wish that Nintendo had offered something like it way back in the day.
It shows Mario atop Yoshi, ready for adventure, and the controller features a flying Koopa. The design looks pretty amazing over that red background. Interestingly enough, I’ve been told to go take a flying Koopa a few times. If Nintendo offered consoles like this, I would be buying them all even if it meant never having money for games themselves. I would just display them and look at them all day.
Awesome job. Some people are just amazingly talented.
