Hey, Atlanta! Let Us Buy You Some Beer and Give You a Sneak Peek of Gizmodo’s Upcoming TV Special
Posted in: Today's Chili
We’re taking the literal Gizmodo TV show on the literal road to give you guys a chance to see some clips before we air on BBC America on March 18th. (10:20PM after Top Gear!) And because I know seeing my pasty mug isn’t enticement enough, we teamed up with our friends Matt Hardigree and Travis Okulski from Jalopnik, not just because we enjoy their company (they’re actually terrible), but because they’ve got the pull to let us travel in style: I’m writing this now from the heated back seats of a 470 HP 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT over its built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. Not too shabby. More »

ThinkGeek’s Mark VII Sonic Screwdriver universal remote pleases Whovians in time for Comic-Con
Posted in: Today's Chili 
Ever wished you too could make use of the awesome powers that lie within Dr. Matt Smith’s Mark VII Sonic Screwdriver? Well, it’s still not exactly a reality in the way of the space-bred handyman’s gadget seen on Doctor Who, but ThinkGeek and The Wand Company have you covered if an IR-packing replica universal remote sounds good enough. This BBC-licensed Mark VII remote handles up to 39 commands that are all controlled using 13 different motion gestures. Of course, if controlling the likes of TV and AV devices in an extraterrestrial fashion just isn’t your thing, there’s always ThinkGeek’s Sonic Screwdriver flashlight, right? There’s no word on price just yet, but San Diego Comic-Con attendees can try it out first-hand at the BBC America Booth (#3629) starting July 12. The Mark VII remote is set to go sale for $99 at ThinkGeek’s website on August 31st, so for now we’ll direct you to the press release after the break.
Update: Video demo added after the break.
[Thanks, Alan]
