Coolest toy ever!: RC amphibious beer-totin', gun shootin' tank

My first reaction at seeing this was *facepalm*. My second was to be slightly concerned that I do know guys who would be seriously tempted by this amalgamation of their beloved PCs (who all have names like Yuki, and Sayoto) and the bottom half of an anime maid.

Sorry to disappoint all your back to the future fans, but the Nike Hyperdunks are more “inspired” than “copied” from the pair Marty wore in Back to the Future.
iPhone 3G deals: UK gets a better deal than the US
Now that the details of the contract you need to sign in blood with O2 (UK) or AT&T (US) have been announced, it looks like UK consumers may actually have the better end of the deal! Here’s why:
Nextar wireless floating speakers – for lazy summer days in the pool
If you’re lucky enough to have your own pool (I hate you already), then this gadget is a must have for days when you just want to float and work on that tan.

Ever vigilant about data protection, SentrySafe has released a hard drive that’s fire and water resistant on its own without a large, cumbersome safe. So should your building catch fire, or flood, your data will survive even if you don’t.
Stay home for the ball game: Giles & Posner Hot Dog Rotisserie
Imagine kicking back in your leather armchair with an ice-cold beer and a hotdog – perfectly cooked on your own mini rotisserie.
