The Star Trek VoIP Communicator from Dream Cheeky has all the makings of a great product, it is shaped like a communicator from Star Trek and it actually lets you communicate. Unfortunately, the experience will be tarnished by the USB cord that you must connect to the computer. If they could eliminate that, then this would be awesome (and a whole lot more expensive).
Coming this April. [Everything USB via Craziest Gadgets]
SkyMall is now officially selling an officially licensed replica Star Trek Captain’s chair. The purists will be happy to note that it looks like the real thing. It also swivels, lights up and has sound effects “from the legendary Star Trek series”.
The price is a surprisingly reasonable $2717, but the kicker is the shipping, it will cost at least $400 to get it to your door, but for a massive slab of furniture that is what one would expect. [SkyMall via CrunchGear]
If you want to add a bit of uber-nerd Star Trek flair to your bachelor pad and don’t want to bankrupt yourself in the process, you might consider buying a couple of the Star Trek TNG Plate Covers. They come in standard U.S. sizes and are made for simple installation.
Price: $17.99 [Think Geek via Craziest Gadgets, Gizmodo, Geek Alerts]
One of the things that makes extended space travel to places like Mars a suicide mission is the sub-atomic particles that are encountered along the way. Eighteen months of exposure to the radiation of space is likely to leave travelers with some seriously affected DNA, placing them at a higher risk of cancer and other DNA-linked disorders – nasty. That may not be the case for too much longer if scientists from the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford manage to turn their idea into reality. (more…)
If you like Star Trek and enjoy the occasional bit of liquid refreshment, then this just might be the bottle opener for you. Who would have thought that the shape of the Enterprise could lend itself so marvelously to a simple bottle opener. It looks good, but the price is a tad high considering the fact that it only opens bottles and is just begging to be borrowed and not returned by one of your friends.
Price: About $26 [Firebox via Coolest Gadgets]
