iCufflinks make you look smarter than you already are

Wearing a pair of cufflinks makes you feel as though you are smarter compared to having a pair of buttons making sure the end of those sleeves remain close together. While there are plenty of cufflinks in the market, just which one suits your personality the best? I would say that if you are the tech savvy kind, then you might want to check out what the $127.99 iCufflinks offers – it looks absolutely gorgeous being made out of machined aluminium, where it will come complete with pulsating LED. The LED itself will be powered by a CR1220 battery which is said to last up to 72 hours, and it is also totally programmable to do your bidding.

Just what kind of “pulsing” pattern can you expect from the iCufflinks? It is said to be the same as that of the “breathing” LED pattern which can be found on majority of notebooks and desktops. The default pattern has been reverse engineered from Apple’s “breathing” LED which can be found on Macs, MacBooks, and iMacs amongst others, leaving me to wonder whether there is a possibility of Thinkgeek being served up a cease and desist letter from the legal eagles over at Apple.

8-Bit Sunglasses make you look cooler than ever before

Get some geek cred this summer with a pair of the $7.99 8-Bit Sunglasses from Thinkgeek – I do not think that you will regret it. It does not matter if you have an afro, sport a punk hairstyle, are clean shaven, or have just a normal head of hair, you will still look great with the 8-Bit Sunglasses on your face. After all, it will not only protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun by delivering 100% UV protection, it will also let you live out the 8-bit lifestyle in real life.

Those who have spent plenty of time with Minecraft will also be able to appreciate all the blocky pixels on the outside of this pair of sunglasses, although the effect of it is in the opposite – you will be able to see in crystal clear clarity after all those harmful UV rays have been filtered out. I wonder if the Mario Bros. would have a far better success rate (or at least an easier task) if they were to don this in their past efforts to save the Princess from Bowser’s scaly fingers…

8-Bit Tablet Sleeve

Tablets are dime a dozen, but if you were to take the most popular tablet at this point in time into consideration, then the Apple iPad would definitely win hands down. After all, there is no question as to the popularity of Cupertino’s new iPad, but how about turning back the clock and going retro with this particular tablet sleeve? We are talking about a polar opposite in terms of the “resolution”, as the $29.99 8-Bit Tablet Sleeve will definitely oppose all the visuals that the new iPad’s Retina Display stands for.

What is more important, however, is not what and how it looks from the outside, but rather, for the 8-Bit Tablet Sleeve to do its job by protecting your high tech iPad using its low tech look. It boasts of fake leather on the outside, while it remains extremely soft on the inside so that your iPad’s display and back will not end up with unwanted scratches at all. While it was built specially for the iPad, you know that the law of physics dictate that it can also be used to house and protect tablets of smaller sizes, yes, even those of the Android-powered strain.

Pet Pedometer for your lazy pooch

I don’t know about you, but for the most of us who own dogs, we are supposed to bring them out for walks every single day, as the right kind of exercise will help them mellow down, eliminating destructive behaviours in the process. Of course, there are some instances when both owner and pet are not exactly living out the most active of lifestyles, which is why it is always good to count the number of steps that your four legged friend and you take each day. The $9.99 Pet Pedometer will help get the job done for you, where it can be clipped in a cinch over your dog’s collar.

All it takes is a press press of a button, and it will be able to measure your dog’s number of strides while displaying the steps accurately – up to 99,999 steps, in fact. Of course, you can also bring this on long hiking trips and compare your steps to your pup’s as well. It is powered by a single button-cell battery, hopefully it will be waterproof and tough enough to withstand your everyday rough and tumble lifestyle.

Dead On Annihilator Superhammer

Is a hammer just a hammer? I suppose so, but is there such a thing as a “superhammer”? I suppose so, as Thinkgeek has just announced the $39.99 Dead On Annihilator Superhammer which is a multi-purpose hand tool that made short work of difficult jobs. It is capable of hammering nails into wood, not to mention being able to pull out nails, pry objects open, bash things into place, perform a Hulk smash, and of course, after you sweat it out, being able to pop open your favorite bottle of ice cold beer.

Not only that, this seems to be the ideal tool to have in your hands at the seemingly impending zombie apocalypse, which we have already started to hear of some folks around the world actually devouring the faces of other people. This is a wicked anti-zombie device, where the spike that is mounted at the bottom is capable of piercing through the skull of a walker, not to mention making you into the main focal point of attack by more intelligent zombies. Otherwise, just pass this over to Alice of Resident Evil fame and see her rack up the body count.

Sonic Screwdriver remote is just what the Doctor ordered

If you’re a fan of Doctor Who, be prepared to be greatly impressed by the latest geek toy from Think Geek. ThinkGeek has a new Sonic Screwdriver Programmable TV Remote that looks like the Mark VII Sonic Screwdriver used by one of the many Whos. The device is a universal remote control that allows you to control your home theater components using gestures.

The device promises to be able to learn the control codes for just about any regular remote control. Once it knows those control codes, you can set up your own custom gesture movements to control your components. The device supports up to 13 gestures and has three memory banks allowing the storage of up to 39 different remote control codes. The default gestures include things like rotating the remote clockwise and counterclockwise for adjusting volume.

Each of the gestures triggers a classic sound effect, and the tip illuminates with green light. If you don’t want to hear the sound effects, there is a quiet mode and a lock code is available to keep your kids from changing the channel. The remote supports four different modes, including practice mode, control mode, quiet control mode, and the FX mode. The device runs on a pair of AAA batteries and is set to ship in early September for $99.95.

Sonic Screwdriver Programmable TV Remote won’t track aliens

Sonic ScrewdriverIf you’re looking for a fancy remote control which you can use to control your TV or any infrared-based device in your house, you’re in luck because nothing gets fancier than this Dr. Who-inspired Sonic Screwdriver Programmable TV Remote. Despite the word Screwdriver in its name, let me assure you – it isn’t going to unscrew any screws for you. However, what it will do is let you program up to 39 remote control codes on it so you pretty much control all your devices in your living room and the rest of your home.

Since there are not many buttons on the device, controls are sent via gestures using the Sonic Screwdriver as though it was a wand. Want to adjust the volume? Rotate the gadget. Want to change TV channels? Flick it up and down. Need a light to look for something under the couch? Hit a button and turn it into a flashlight. If you want to pick up one of these bad boys, you can place your pre-order on ThinkGeek’s website for $99.95.

Stealth Touch Mouse

Now here is what we call a rather interesting device which you might want to look into – the $69.99 Stealth Touch Mouse. It might seem to be an electronic pebble of some sort, but this is actually a wireless mouse that comes with a touch-sensitive surface. Boasting a working range of 33 feet, the Stealth Touch Mouse does seem to be the ideal device when it comes to giving presentations. It works based on a plug and play premise, and will work irregardless of platforms – be it the PC, Mac, or Linux.

Computer mice have definitely come a long way ever since it was invented, and the Stealth Touch Mouse is part of a new generation of 2.4GHz wireless devices that boast of an all touch technology. There are no buttons to worry about, not need for a scroll wheel, nothing! All you need would be a touch-sensitive surface which is capable of recognizing preprogrammed fingertip movements. All simple gestures such as swipes, taps, and slides will be used to control the entire range of the mouse’s features. The Stealth Touch Mouse is powered by a couple of AAA batteries.
