Hasta La Gadget!

Do you find yourself pushing your roommate or significant other out of the way every morning, just so you can get a better glimpse of yourself in the mirror? It might seem like a minor thing, but a lot of people get on each other’s nerves in the daily battle to get some prime mirror space.

Mirror 180 solves that problem though, since it’s a singular mirror that works like it’s actually two. The mirror is angled in the middle, so it gives you two different perspectives. There are a bunch of ways you can use the mirror, depending on how you choose to hang it. Most just hang it with the halves vertical, though, so two people can use it side by side without having to fight over space.

Convenience comes at a pretty hefty price tag, though, as the Mirror 180 retails for $279(USD).

So I have to admit I’m a bit of a gambler. Not that I play all the time, but when I’m in Vegas, all bets are on. And even know I know the odds are dramatically stacked against me, I occasionally still play the slots. Now here’s a slot machine that I’d definitely pump some quarters into (if you still pumped quarters into slot machines.)

This rare “Limited Heisenberg Edition Breaking Bad Slot Machine” turned up recently over on Etsy, and according to its seller, it’s one of just five ever made.

It offers special reels which portray characters from the show (as well as the winnebago meth lab), and has sound samples from the show when you win. Yes, it says things like “I am the one who knocks” and “Say my name.” Though it doesn’t say anything about taking a trip to Belize. And if you get three Saul Goodmans, he’ll bail you out with free spins.

Check it out in action in the short video clip below:

My favorite part is how it plays the theme music when you open the front of the machine. I’m going to guess this isn’t officially licensed Breaking Bad merch, so if you want it, you might want to move quick. Besides the fact, there’s only five of them in existence. It’s available up on HeisenbergLabs’ Etsy shop for $1299 (USD), plus another $199 for shipping in the U.S.

A couple of years ago we looked at a couple of film cameras that you had to assemble before you could use them. The Bigshot camera is just like those cameras, except it’s digital and has a companion website that includes a lot of related information. The idea is to introduce people of all ages not just to photography but to technology in general.

The Bigshot digital camera kit comes with all of the parts and tools you need to build and process your photos, including a screwdriver, a micro-USB to USB cable and a pair of 3D glasses. That’s right, once you’ve put it together you can use the camera to take 3D images as well as panoramic shots to go with the normal mode. The camera has an internal battery that you recharge using the cable, but it also has a dynamo and a hand crank so you can power it yourself. It also has a free software for processing and sharing images.

But as I said earlier, the kit is only half of the Bigshot’s appeal. Its website has dozens of pages of helpful and easy to understand articles related to the camera. There are pages explaining the science behind the parts, an assembly guide and more. The articles make it a lot easier and fun to learn while you assemble and use the camera.

You can order the Bigshot camera from its official website for $89 (USD). I wish Ben Heck or some other modder would release a similar kit for a gaming device.

I’ve definitely seen some weird and impractical iPhone cases over the years, so why would I think this trend would ever end. For instance, did you know that if you’re in Japan, you can now dress up your iPhone 5 as a banana?

This wacky thing was spotted by Redditor cirethesquire while checking out the shops in Tokyo. Admit it – we’ve all picked up a banana at some point and pretended it was a phone, but this is ridiculous.

Tetris is a fun game. Fun, but tough, once you get things going fast enough. For many it ends up being stressful. Well, when you feel the stress of fast falling tetriminos, give a squeeze to the very blocks that caused you so much grief and wipe it all away.

Aggravated by fast-falling blocks? Don’t rage. Just squeeze some Tetris blocks and all will be well. These squishy blocks are made from that wondrous stress ball material and will absorb your anger like a sponge. They will cost you $5.99(USD) for one or $9.99(USD) for a two-pack from ThinkGeek.

You won’t know which piece you will get since they are randomly selected  – just like in the game. So good luck making a straight line with them.
