This thing has blood and carnage written all over it. It’s ideal for fixing up the house if you don’t mind everyone inside ending up dead as a doornail. It can send a 6-D nail through a 2 x 4 at 200 yards, and as it’s creator David Wiggins points out, you could literally sit in your lawn chair while building a fence.
Comes complete with a hundred-round magazine no less. No, this is no nail gun. This is a nail machine-gun. And I don’t ever want to work on a home improvement project with David Wiggins. Ever.

You have to wonder. Why does Sony Ericsson have so many leaked handsets, and yet not a single one has been announced or made available?
Anyway, here’s another one. The mysterious Sony Ericsson Walkman phone codenamed Alicia that we first told you about from a while back has been identified as the Sony Ericsson W707, and as you can see from the photo is a flip-type phone.
The specs could do a bit of improvement, though, as the Sony Ericsson W707 only features a 3.2 megapixel camera without autofocus, only one speaker, and ho-hum screens.
The keypad looks like something straight out of the RAZR, too, but if you find it attractive, we won’t keep you. More details on this handset as we stumble upon them.

A fresh bevy of photo printers out of HP today, with the emphasis on increasing flexibility and ease of use even when away from computer editing software. The Photosmart A630 and Photosmart A530 both use 5 x 7-inch photo paper and can be outfitted with HP’s Bluetooth dongle for wireless printing from cellphones and other devices. The A630 also has the largest touchscreen currently available on a portable photo printer, measuring in at 4.8-inches.
The A530 comes with a selection of borders and clip art that can be added to photos before printing; the A630 builds on that with more than 300 ways to edit, draw, touch-up and customize images. Both the Photosmart A630 and A530 Compact Photo Printers are expected to be available in August, priced at $149 and $99 respectively.
HP also announced their attempt to slim down the number of ink cartridges necessary for full-color photo prints in their desktop range. Using five cartridges rather than the six previously required, the system includes four HP 564 dye-ink cartridges in cyan, magenta, yellow and photo black for vivid color and black-and-white lab-quality photos. The fifth cartridge contains black pigment ink for laser-quality black text on plain paper and enhanced document quality when printing on ColorLok paper.
The new system is featured on the HP Photosmart D5460 Printer, priced at $99 and available now. It includes a 1.5-inch color display, memory card slots, an auto-engaging photo tray and the ability to print photos and text directly onto CDs and DVDs.

Is a 15 inch display a bit too small and a 17 inch display a bit too large for you when you’re on the go? Well how about say.. a 16.4 inch display? That’s right - a 16.4 inch display. That’s exactly what you get with the new Sony VAIO FW notebook which is the first system in the world to feature such a display. Sony designed this extra-wide display to complement high definition movies (which are normally shot in 16:9 aspect ratios) as well as to reduce the black bars you’d typically see above and below the picture.
Other features of the Sony VAIO FW include:
- XBRITE HiColor LCD technology on select models
- HDMI output
- Intel Centrino 2 technology
- Windows Vista OS
- Includes VAIO Movie Story software, VAIO MusicBox software, and Click to Disc/Editor software
- Memory Stick media/SD card slot
- Three USB ports
- FireWire port
- Microphone and headphone jack
- 34mm ExpressCard slot
- 802.11n Wi-Fi
The VAIO FW is available in titanium gray and powder white with the standard model available for around $1000 and the premium model for around $1750.

Forget the entire NES in a cartridge thing. Forget I even mentioned it. A modder on the BenHeck.com forums known as “G-force” has managed to get a famiclone aka Super Joy III, into an NES controller.
The famiclone already had 70 built-in pirated games, but that wasn’t gonna cut it. So he added a cartridge slot on the bottom so he can play any NES game he wants. The Nintendo logo is even backlit. Pretty damn awesome. As for the rest of you, allow me to paraphrase a classic AC/DC song. For those about to mod, we salute you.
