For the ultimate in cheesy, and absolutely geeky gifts for Valentines Day, behold the “8-Bit Dynamic Life Shirt”. Buy one of these glowing shirts for yourself, and gift one to your significant other (boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, fembot 2000…). During your normal activities two and a half pixelated hearts will light up on your shirt. Hey… you’re depressed and in need of a recharge. But get within hugging distance of your significant other wearing the matching shirt and suddenly the hearts on both of your shirts start to light up until you’re fully powered up. Go too far astray from the source of your affections and you’ll drop back down to two and a half hearts again. (Read the full post about ‘Hearts Light When Your Love Is Near [Video]’…)

This is the Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG 40th Anniversary Edition, offering the usual AMG upgrades. This Benz is powered by a 6.0-liter V12 Biturbo engine, generating 612 horsepower. One of the unique parts will be the paint. They use a paint called Alubeam where you won’t find on any other production model car on this Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG 40th Anniversary Edition. The silvery paint is made of pigment particles that measures just 30 to 50 nanometers which are much smaller that normal metallic paint. It allows it to coat the surface more evenly and reflect the light more intensively. Basically, it “gleams like liquid metal” and seems to be “stretched over the vehicle body like a metallic skin,” as Mercedes says.

MobileBurn reviews the Nokia 6263 and writes, “The front of the 6263 features a 2 megapixel camera with no flash, in addition to the dedicated music playback keys and large 262k color TFT external display. The music buttons sport raised labels, allowing them to be easily found and used, even when the device is in a pocket. The top of the handset houses the small-barrel Nokia power port, a miniUSB port for data transfer, and a 2.5mm audio jack that you can’t help but wish was the standard 3.5mm.”

Ringtones are all the rage and fun to collect for your cell phone. Now, you can bring your ringtones to your home phone… if you still have one! This is the first device that personalizes your landline telephone with songs, movie sound-clips, or comedic greetings that play when someone calls. If you have caller ID, you can use the included PC software to assign unique ringtones to friends, family, and unwanted 800 numbers so you can identify a caller by ear. Ringtones are downloaded from your PC to the unit via the included USB cable. The player connects between your home’s telephone jack and your telephone so it can read the caller ID information, but it will not interrupt normal service.

Spark Universe is showing off their latest PMP, the cp-11s. A very UMPC looking device with some strange specs. The cp-11s runs Windows CE 5.0 and features a touchscreen 16:9 display, built-in Wi-Fi, USB 1.1 port and SD/MMC card slots. The cp-11s has support for Skype, MSN Messenger, Windows Media Player, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files. Sadly it only comes with a low 64MB of RAM.

  The battle for the living room continues: One week after bringing down the price of its video downloading box to $300 to compete with Apple TV, Vudu has updated its software to version 1.2, adding about 80 more movies to its library and an on-screen broadband instant-HD indicator. The indicator is supposed to alert a Vudu user when the broadband access for the box is at the right speed to handle HD content (no more unexpected, endless delays), and a recommendation option that matches your bandwidth options with the content available. And to keep it competitive, Vudu’s HD movies are in the same price range as the rentals in the Apple TV service (starting at $4 each).

Posted Feb 1st 2008 8:51PM by Nilay PatelFiled under: Gaming We’re chalking this up to mixed PR signals, but a spokesperson for PDP — makers of that Rock Band Premium Microphone we caught the other day sporting a Wii logo — just let us know it was an accident, and that the mic isn’t compatible with the Wii after all. Of course, the only reason we cared is that the logo signaled the arrival of Rock Band on the Wii — which we now know is happening anyway — so the only people disappointed here should be those of you who wanted to experience Wii Rock Band with “premium” third-party accessories. So… too bad for three of you. We regret your loss. Now if you’ll excuse us, we have to get back to mastering the drums (Read the full post about ‘Wii coming to Rock Band, Rock Band Premium Microphone not coming to Wii’…)
