Jedi can bowl a perfect game every time by using the force, no balls are necessary. But since you haven’t apprenticed under Yoda, you could use some help. These Brunswick Star Wars Viz-a-Ball bowling balls may be just what you need to give your game a boost while simultaneously getting laughed at by those around you.
Or maybe not. You may just be trading a plain gutter ball for a fancy gutter ball. They’ll cost you between $92-$120 each. There’s Yoda, C-3PO, Darth Vader and even a Darth Maul ball. Who knows, before you know it you may be joining the Bespin Bowling League and low-fiving Ugnaughts. (I apologize for that nerd joke and regret that I even know what an Ugnaut is)

Our messiah who raised our hopes to give Meizu M8 in our hands is back again. Though their fact of ‘India’s First Wi-Fi enabled laptop’ needs to be rechecked, their cheap offering is bound to get some attraction provided they do their marketing smartly and correctly.
Their so-called Geek Laptop has a 7-inch screen with support for resolution of up to 800 X 480 pixels and runs Linux (ironically, the images show Windows XP UI). It has a paltry 64MB SDRAM with 1GB of storage space. However, a user has the option to increase it with additional memory via SD card or U-Disks.
Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, LAN and other features like 2 USB ports, earphone, mic jack and a gameboy simulator. But I wonder what role does Xbox (image in gallery) play in it?
They will start selling this geeky device starting from November for $250 or Rs. 12,200.

Looking for some new fashions to upgrade your geekster wardrobe? Look no further than these clever t-shirt designs from New Zealand graphic artist Glenn Jones.
Ever wonder how Darth Vader keeps his helmet so shiny and squeaky clean? Now you have your answer:
Star Wars not your thing? That’s okay, Glenn doesn’t discriminate, as he proves with this Star Trek starship-in-a-bottle design:
When there’s something strange in your living room, who ya gonna call? GhostDustBusters! (Ooh, that sucked.)
Jenga anyone?
Kids too young to remember Optimus Prime? That’s okay, now that Thomas the Transformer is here:
And what geeky t-shirt collection would be complete without some Space Invaders?

Okay, so it’s not really watching you, but this Darth Vader Sculpted Wall Clock made by Wesco Limited is a tad bit creepy and would be a very bad idea for an accessory in a child’s room.
The clock is a bit different than others that have been released before. In fact, it has red eyes that glow, adding to the menacing look of Vader. And as if that weren’t enough, the eyes are triggered to turn on once the lights in your room go out.
A creepy breathing sound effect turns on too. So not only do you have Darth Vader looming from the wall all day long. He’s also staring you down with fiery eyes and breathing at you. Sounds pretty scary to me. But if you have $35 to spend, want to add to your Star Wars memorabilia collection and don’t mind the creep factor, why not?

John Lennon said that happiness is a warm gun. While a nerd will tell you that happiness can be found in the warm touch of a boob mouse on a quiet evening after the comic books have all been read and his acne has been quietly put to bed under a blanket of clearasil.
A torso mouse can bring a nerd joy, sure. But only a true boob mouse and mouse pad can turn him from a boy into a man…child. The price is $38. Click away and dream my friend. Make comments like, “Oh, it must be chilly in here.” then laugh like Urkel and hide it from your mom. Say, she’s got some pretty wide hips there.

I hate the misuse of the word “literally” but in this case I will tell you that you can literally wear the word “geek” on your sleeve. And you can do it with computer keyboard letters, too.
Etsy crafter pipix whips up these sweet tees. In addition to “geek” you can get N3RD, L33T,<B>, ShiftY, CtrlZ, or even a custom combination (max 5 letters.)
They’re currently sold out, but you can email with your choice for a custom tee. You can get the letters attached to the sleeve or the back just below the neck. Somehow they claim to be machine washable, which seems surprising to me.
You can get them in black or gray, and at press time these were strictly for the ladies. Sorry, guys. Although it’s probably for the best, as I would postulate that while this might work on a girl, whereas a guy would probably just get his a$$ kicked for wearing this.

We’ve already seen not one but two iterations of Space Invaders undies for dudes, so it’s high time we let the ladies in on this brave new world of geeky underpants. Behold: the robot-themed bra and underwear set.
This marks an exciting milestone for nerdy guys everywhere, who can now, in one fell swoop, combine their top two loves: robots and lady parts. And of course, if you have no access to real, live ladies, you can always hook this onto one of your creepy stand-ins.
I’m a woman, but please don’t look to me to explain what the heck those rubberband-lookin’ things on the side of the underwear are. I have no idea and have never seen them before. They baffle and confuse me to no end.
You can get the set for around $16 from Tilly’s, if you dare. I mean, I’m tempted to get some, but I’m concerned they just might make me too magnetically irresistible to a certain binary code-loving, Star Wars toothbrush-having, javascript joke-making segment of the populace. Actually that pretty much describes myself, so that’s a bit tautological.

Here’s something for old school Mac fans who need a little geek chic. The kind of geek chic that will throw your back out. Someone over at Instructables converted a 1988 Macintosh SE into a chiropractor’s dream. A chunky, spine dislodging MacPack. Basically you just hollow out a Mac and attach some straps. I’m sure you won’t stand out at all. And I can’t see anyone throwing rocks at you, trying to break the screen…
