Garmin Nuvi 255W Review
The good: The Garmin Nuvi 255W has a large 4.3-inch touch screen and a clean and easy to use interface. The operating system, trip routing/rerouting is faster than most competitor products we have tested. The “where am I?” feature is handy for emergencies.

TV With No Cables… Almost A Reality
Notice the Sony TV above has no audio, video, or power cables? This isn’t a Photoshop job… the tv is using Sony’s new wireless power transfer technology which can send 60 watts of power over the air. Currently Sony can push the 60 watts of power about 20 inches, and can extend that range with […]
Loaded Wallet – Looks Like A Stack Of Hundreds
For only $20 you can have a wallet that looks like a wad of $100 dollar bills. The seller claims that the wallet will attract women… I think it may attract more muggers than women. Just my two cents… enjoy. Feeling a little cash poor these days? Not to worry, you’ll look like a million […]

Mini Coupe Concept Car
I love my mini, but sure wouldn’t mind having this sleeker Coupe Concept Mini as a second car. Ready to accept any of MINI’s powerhouse engines, including the 1.6L twin-scroll turbocharged unit from the MINI John Cooper Works, this stylish two-seater pairs a decidedly MINI-like bottom with an aggressively designed upper half, including a swept […]
Electric Unicycle The EniCycle
At first glance the EniCycle looks like a rendering of a cartoon vehicle… maybe something that Wile E Coyote would use to chase the Road Runner. The EniCycle, however, is real and looks like fun. Details and video after the break.
One Horsepower Naturmobil
Some asshole crafty type fellow Hadi Mirhejazi, from Iran, has made a real one horsepower vehicle. The poor horse is tied to a treadmill and charges the batteries which power an electric motor. The Naturmobil, as it is called, will go 28mph. Enough already… let the horse free you arsehole. [Via]
