Crapgadget CES, round five: iPhone 4 and iPad wed in unholy KIRF matrimony

Posted in: kirf, Today's Chili

Yes, this is what happens when the iPhone 4 and the iPad mingle in the back alleys of Shenzhen and bring mutant KIRF-y children to CES. The EYO T8100 is a dumbphone boasting a (likely resistive) 3.5-inch HVGA touchscreen, quad-band GSM radio, dual SIM slots, two megapixel rear camera (with flash), VGA front camera, analog TV tuner, Java support, and WiFi, all wrapped in a silver / black, white, or pink package. Check out the spectacle in the gallery below.

AVN: Pornstars Are all A-Twitter

Posted in: Today's Chili, twitter

pornstar tweets.jpg

I’m not entirely sure that this is what the folks at Twitter envisioned when they gave the world their microblogging service. But heck, that’s sort of the appeal of the service, right? It appeals to everyone, from office workers, to rock stars, to people who get paid to have sex on camera.
A company called Pornstar Tweets has taken it upon itself to become the major provider of such content, aggregating the surprisingly numerous pornstars who have chosen to express themselves on Twitter.
The company, not surprisingly, was on hand at the AVN show in Las Vegas this week, complete with a Pornstar Tweets trailer, where real life adult stars are tweeting their thoughts on the show.

AVN: Finally–A Lint Roller With a Vibrator

Posted in: Today's Chili

vibrator lint roller.jpg

See the above, unassuming lint roller? It’s called L’Intimate. Its tagline is “A Hidden Pleasure.” Why, you ask? Simple–pull out the handle, crack it open, and you’ll find a vibrator inside. It’s sort of a dirty version of those faux soda cans that are actually banks.
According to its manufacturer, Miss Chivus, L’intimate is “a dual-functioning product that elevates the level of class and discretion for women looking to maintain pleasure in their personal lives. Mostly, though, it’s a lint roller with a seven inch vibrator inside.
The thing includes a real, working adhesive paper roll…and a real, working vibrator.

AVN: Flesh Drive, Probably Why Thumb Drives Were Invented

Posted in: flash drive, Today's Chili

Flesh drive.jpg

The above is the FleshDrive (get it?). It’s essentially a standard USB flash drive, with oene distinction. It’s loaded with pornography. Tons of the stuff. The otherwise unassuming thumb drive comes in 4-, 8-, and 16GB capacities, which come loaded with 20, 40, and 80 pornographic videos, respectively.
The drives come in a 30 different, um, varieties, none of which I’ll go into here.Why are porn and flash drives a match made in heaven (or some similar place)? Simple, they keep the stuff localized to the drive, so you don’t have to keep in on your computer.
The drives are compatible with Windows, Mac, Xbox 360, and the PS3.

Tablets at CES 2011: Honeycomb, Windows 7, and all the rest

Posted in: Android, GoogleAndroid, honeycomb, Microsoft, tablet, tablet pc, TabletPc, tablets, Today's Chili, windows 7, Windows7

It’s been raining tablets here at CES 2011. No seriously, it as if the sky has opened up in Vegas and dropped touchscreen slabs with Android and Windows 7 operating systems on our heads. It’s been nearly impossible to keep track of the number of tablets released and the details we’ve learned about them… until now, that is. After the break you will find a complete list of all the tablets we have heard about as well as a few key details about ’em. You’ll notice that most of the tablets listed plan to run Android 3.0 — if you’re looking for more on Google’s not-yet-released tablet OS, you’ll want to check out our guided tour and our interview with Google’s Matias Duarte. The show isn’t over yet so expect us to add more tablets over the next couple of days, but without further ado, we give you the official Engadget tablet chart of CES 2011.

You’ll also note that we’ve denoted our favorites in bold, so pay closer attention to those and make sure to click through to hear why they’ve impressed us so much. Enjoy!

Here at Gearlog, we’re dedicated to bringing you the latest breakthroughs the world of technology has to offer–naturally, we jumped all over these finger condoms. They’re for–well, we’ll let you use your imagination on this one. 
The Findom (yes, that’s what they’re actually called) was created by a Taiwanese company called Future Media Corp. According to the company rep I spoke with, these things are a big hit in the Asian market, and are just coming to our market. Will America give them the thumbs up?

AVN: I Just Figure Out What TV Hat is Really for

Posted in: Today's Chili, TV

TV-Hat.jpg

A few weeks ago, we named TV Hat our “Worst Product of the Year.” I want to apologize to the company for that. Thing is, I never really what the device is really intended for–after all, the now infamous TV spots don’t really let on why someone might want the privacy of a TV Hat.
And then I saw the company’s booth at the AVN show this year and it all clicked. A representative for the company strapped a TV Hat to my head, and sure enough, the iPod inside was playing hardcore pornography. You know, it all makes sense now.
She said that the thing is also great for kids. I’d recommend swapping out the iPod first, and maybe washing the thing.

AVN: BoneCraft, the Porno World of Warcraft Knockoff

Posted in: Today's Chili, video games

bonecraft.png

We already knew about the folks at D-Dub software.The company old us that it aims to be the “adult video game version of South Park. Last year at the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, it was showing off BoneTown–a game that could only be described as a comedic, pornographic sex fighting game.
This year, D-Dub has upped the ante with BoneCraft, a pornographic comedy sci-fi game that it promises “will appeal to both the adult gamers who always loved BoneTown and to the legions of fans the fantasy/sci-fi genre, who will now be able to experience what has never been possible in other games of the genre–taking the action all the way to bedroom.”
In other words, the game is a dirty, dirty take off of Blizzards World of Warcraft and Starcraft. The company debuted the BoneCraft trailer today at the AVN show. The game (only single play, for better or worse) is due out later this year.

Why the Pron Show and CES Happen the Same Week in Vegas

Posted in: Today's Chili

avn angel 2011.jpg

I suppose there’s no such thing as a “normal” week in Las Vegas. As I was walking down the strip last night, going from one meeting to the next, I was attempting to explain my surrounds, trying to come up with a succinct description for the sensation of walking past the Eiffel Tower one moment and then the canals of Venice and the warring pirate ships the next.

The best description I could come up with was, “imagine that some supervillian had collected up all of the world’s most famous monuments and dumped them in a few miles of one another,”

That said, even with that manner of odd spectacle encountered on a daily basis, there’s something special about the second week of the year, when two distinctly different groups descend upon the city. On one side are the technology enthusiasts, booking hotel rooms for the country’s biggest technology show. On the other are members and fans of the adult industry descending upon the Sands for the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo.

It always seemed to me that it couldn’t possibly be a coincidence that these two seemingly polarizing shows occur in the same city on the same week. This year, I spoke with a spokesman for the AVN show and got the answer–it’s no coincidence at all. AVN was actually born out of CES.
