Got an evil streak? The makers of the infamous TV-B-Gone remote control have come up with an extra-strength version of their gizmo which can turn off almost any television set from hundreds of feet away.
Packaged in a case that’s designed to look like a super-chunky mock iPhone, the TV-B-Gone SHP (Super High Power) can shut down more than 90% of all televisions worldwide with a simple push of a button. 8 ultra-powerful infrared emitters ensure that no TV will be safe from its hypnotic gaze. There’s even an instant reactivation mode which lets you turn off a bunch of sets in rapid succession.
Check out this video clip of the TV-B-Gone SHP wreaking havoc wherever it goes:
Ready to get your your ass kicked out of the local sports bar or big box retailer? You can get your hands on one of these portable mischief makers over at the Maker Shed for $49.95.

I thought I’d seen some awful electronic gadgets in my travels, but this has got to be the worst one that I’ve seen in a long time.
Somebody must have thought this thing would be cute, but this “dog doll” MP3 player turned out hideous and disturbing. Not only does it look nothing like a dog, it seems incredibly impractical as a music player thanks to its strange lumpy (yet fuzzy) shape.
Unless you think a troll doll on all fours in a green leotard with a tracheotomy tube sticking out of its neck and a USB port in its ass is charming, you’ll probably want to avoid this.
I really can’t think of any reason that you’d ever want to buy this thing unless you’ve want to play a really cruel joke on someone. You know, one that goes something like this: “Hey, you know that new iPod Touch you’ve been begging for? I already bought you a brand new MP3 player that’s waaaaay better!”

Oh, Rickrolling, aren’t we finished with you yet? Apparently not, since there is now an Instructables post on how to make a sneaky Rickroll birthday cake.
The cake was made by one Papersatan (a pretty fitting name for a perpetrator of Astley-based crimes, eh?) for her boyfriend’s birthday. She made a fake cake-like covering out of a hatbox, which when removed reveals a real cake with Rick Astley’s (sort of) likeness and those catchy lyrics etched in icing.
It’s bad enough to be Rickrolled on your Internets, but on your birthday? Now that’s just mean.

You and I both know that “the man” has been trying to keep you separated from your brain numbing booze. He won’t let you take your precious juice into theaters, stadiums, preschools etc. How are you expected to get through the A.M.? Well now you can stick it to “the man”(Who everyone knows is illiterate) Now you can hide your beer cans in Canouflage, re-usable can wraps that make your Budweiser look like a Pepsi (Peski). The wraps cost $6 for 4.
You and your beer will never be apart again! Just act right! “The man” may not be able to read, but he knows a drunk ass fool when he sees one! Product Development really worked hard to come up with some convincing names too, like Peski, Sunkpiss and Mountain Spew.

Here we have it, the black mamba of short-throw projectors: 3M’s DMS800. The 0.7-inch DLP projector mounts to the wall yet throws a 1,280 x 1,024 image with a 1,300:1 contrast in sizes ranging from 50 to 85 inches thanks to that long, telescoping neck which can extend up to 4.2-feet. Inputs are available for DVI-I, D-Sub 15 RGB, component, composite and S-Video sources. You can even combine the built-in Ethernet with an optional, external sensor and you’ve got yourself a digital white board to share on the network. The entire kit will set you back ¥715,000 (about $6,292) as of today in Japan. Still confused? Click through for a sample installation.
