Sharpie’s Liquid Pencil stays erasable for three days before turning permanent

By Sorinu on August 10, 2010

Sharpie has combined the permanence of a pen with the erasability of a pencil with their new Liquid Pencil. The “ink” inside this pen is a liquid graphite that stays erasable for three days. After that, it turns to ink and stays permanent.

By Sorinu on August 4, 2010

We’re guessing that the past six months have dragged on (or zipped by, depending on viewpoint) for the folks at Infinitec as they waited for this day, but the device we first spotted at the Engadget trailer during CES 2010 is finally up for pre-order. Hailed as the world’s first “infinite USB flash drive,” [...]

Master Lock 1500iD Padlock Works Like A Video Game Controller – Will Also Be The Easiest Padlock Ever To Crack

By Sorinu on August 3, 2010

As much as I like the idea behind Master Lock’s 1500iD padlock, which features a 4-way directional pad instead of a spinning tumbler, there’s only one combination anyone is ever going to use on it – the Konami code. It’s burned into every gamer’s sub-conscious, and besides a handful of Mortal Kombat finishing moves, [...]

Surprise, surprise, the man’s got a mini-copter named after him and sporting his mug—yup, that’s his visor helmet for a cockpit. It doesn’t shoot missiles and have night [...]

It’s basically a lighter, stripped down version of the better known Segway. The ewee-PT (for Personal Transporter) also runs using [...]

Mr. Clock tells time, only when you look at it

By Sorinu on August 3, 2010

This clock is just as personal, but not in the sense that you can draw on it. As you can see in the video, the clock will only show the time when people are looking at it.
Granted, I have no idea how it knows whether or not anyone is looking at it, but it [...]

The SMS Slingshot

By Sorinu on July 28, 2010

Let’s just say I handed you this slingshot with the push button numbers on it. What would you think it was supposed to do?
Perhaps it is a new type of cellular phone, where you dial in the number and shoot it at the nearest cell phone tower to get the best possible signal.

Most robot pets may not be easily mistaken for the real thing, but that’s not likely to be the case with the ChouChou Electric Butterfly, which might even have a few people reaching to free it from its jar. Unfortunately, it’s the jar that keeps the butterfly “alive” — it has some AA batteries [...]
