Join Verizon Wireless offer G’zOne Boulder
How do you treat your gadgets? Do you try your best to take good care of them, but do suffer from the occasional lapse of concentration that caused you to drop them on the floor? Well, if you’re suffering from a documented case of butterfingeritis, then the G’zOne Boulder clamshell cell phone from Verizon Wireless would make for an intelligent choice – after all, it was specially built to military specifications to withstand shock, water and dust environments. In addition, the G’zOne Boulder enables customers to access Verizon Wireless’ Push to Talk service via Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev. A) network. You will be able to choose from black and silver or orange colors, making this more of a manly handset than anything else. Further details on the specifications are available after the jump.

Nailed USB memory stick
Remember the nailgun from Quake? I just love the way the nails hit against the wall, but imagine what would happen if one of them actually struck the USB port of your computer? Well, that had better be loaded with a nailed USB flash drive then – after all, this is what we’re looking at today. The USB flash drive itself is made from polyurethane and iron, featuring a paltry 1GB memory capacity which isn’t really sufficient for today’s needs. At €29.50 a pop, it is really more expensive than it should be, but the novelty value is well worth the price.

Dream Arcades Octane 120
If you’re a true blue gaming geek, then the Octane 120 arcade cabinet from Dream Arcades will definitely be the platform of choice. It is based upon a “high end gaming PC”, featuring an integrated projector that throws a 10-foot screen for you to enjoy. In addition to that, it will also boast a kegerator that keeps your beer (or other favorite beverages) ice cold at all times. Heck, there are even a couple of taps – one located by the steering wheel with another behind for easy access to your drinks, and a cup holder by the wheel ensures you don’t have to keep on getting up to get your drink. The Octane 120 can play up to 200 licensed PC titles, PS3 racing games, and other Xbox 360, Wii and PS3 games through the included joystick. Audio is provided via a 5.1 surround sound system in the chassis. You’ll need to fork out a whopping $6,995 for this though.

Sprint ships Airave signal booster
Sprint has begun to ship its Airave signal booster nationwide, enabling folks who are suffering from horrendous Sprint service in their homes will be able to get supposedly better reception by forking out another $99.99 to receive the base station at your doorstep. In addition to that initial investment, you’ll also need to slap another $4.99 monthly to extend your coverage with your current call plan, or $10 if you want to make unlimited calls via Airave with a single Sprint phone. Double that amount to do the same with multiple lines. If call quality is that important to you, I guess this little bit more you’ll need to pony up is worth every penny, but otherwise switch to a better carrier.

Dog Toilet: Animal Cruelty Via Their Own Feces
If you frequently walk your dog in a park or any other public area, there are pretty strict laws against picking up all of the poopy which your pup excretes. I mean, they probably won’t perform a DNA test on the crap to track you down, but if you’re caught, there’s a hefty fine. Let’s be honest with ourselves, we don’t want to be anywhere near dog poop, period.
This handy Wearable Dog Toilet might not be the most pleasant product to strap on to your pet, but at least it saves you the worry of bending your lazy ass over to pick up after your own dog which you wanted “So badly!” in the first place. No, but really, don’t buy this. Just stop being lazy and wash your hands more often. But I digress.
