Take to the air from the palm of your hand then use the shoulder button on the remote unleash a plasma blast your opponent copter. Each shot causes the gun of your galactic marine to flash with simulated gunfire. The first hit causes your enemy to spin.

Dogs love to see what is going on around them, you always see them peering through whatever gaps that they can find in the fence to bark at whomever or whatever comes there way. While a simple solution would be to just cut a hole in the fence for them to look out of, that would probably be a recipe for disaster. Your typical canine is, unfortunately, not usually all that intelligent; they would (possibly on a daily basis) get their head stuck while trying to get out. The Pet Peek is a porthole that gives your pooch all of the benefits of a large fence-hole without the risks.

The Pet Peek is available for the very reasonable price of $30.

The Phenom project is a monster of a case mod project with a team headed by Bill Owen, who has brought us some fantastic looking case mods in the past. Recently we featured the Ghostrider case mod, but Phenom looks to be the most ambitious project to date.  Interested in Bill’s ongoing work, I emailed him and asked a few questions.  He was kind enough to respond and give me a little information about his latest project.

If you are interested in modding and want to get some ideas of what’s involved in a big project, please read on.  The email interview, a few photos and a very interesting You Tube video are included after the jump.  The specs that this monster is going to have are truly mind blowing.  I heard mention of quad PCI, new Phenom FX processor and Bill makes mention of a 128GB SSD.  I would love to see this thing powering multi-monitor Call of Duty 4 or Crysis.  Wouldn’t it be great if AMD could bankroll all of our PC projects?

This is a little something for the abstinence only crowd, because it will guarantee that you sleep alone no matter how hot and bothered you get. Switch on these under the bed LED lights are guaranteed to instantly repel any human female within fifty feet. You will look like such a complete point dexter that not only will you wind up sleeping alone, but she will probably never speak to you again. What is more, she will probably tell all of her friends, they will tell all of their friends, and you will be stuck with the reputation as the person who thought it was cool to make the underside of his bed glow like an alien spaceship.

Price, in case you were seriously considering buying this junk: $36

Most of us might never have the chance to fly through space in an actual spaceship, but ZhenZhou is offering a new Spaceship-themed Cellphone which can at least make us feel we have some sort or intergalactic purpose. The ZhenZhou VII mixes modern design with a retro looking spaceship that could of very well have been used as a prop in an Ed Wood movie.

The keypad of the new ZhenZhou is very similar to the key design of the Motorola RAZR phone. Even though the ZhenZhou can do the same operations as your average phone, don’t expect this phone to take you on a journey into space. Unless you plan on eating some not-so-wholesome mushrooms. Check out a few more pics after the jump. (more…)
