LED watches are so last year, what you need is one of these new Infinity OLED watches.
This funky looking timepiece features a black display with a steel face and a funky blue OLED display. It comes in a choice of two colours, one with a black leather strap and the other with a white leather strap.
It looks like the only place these are available at the moment are on ebay, but you should be able to get one for under $100.

This radio-controlled car allows you to “paint” its path using a handheld infrared tracker - a feature that brought a lot of attention when the toy was displayed at the Hong Kong Toy Fair earlier this year.
The remote aims an infrared beam “dot” on the floor, and you can aim it anywhere. The IR Tracker race car instantly recognizes and “follows” the red dot.
The Infrared Tracker Remote Control Car is available from RichardSolo.com for $49.95.

Hi-Can is an “High Fidelity Canopy” designed by Italian designer Edoardo Carlino at Deta Design.
The Hi-Can features beautifully designed equipment that allows you to surf the web, watch movies, play games, and listen to music all from the comfort of your bed. There is even a slick looking control panel on the headboard that allows you to control other gadgets in the room.
At this point, the Hi-Can looks as though it is only a concept that is "coming soon."

We have ever seen the Cute Fan with 4 Port USB Hub, and it was posted at engadget.com by editor Darren Murph. Here’s another cute USB Fan to keep you cool and breathe fresh air this summer, but this time it comes with Air Purifier, not hub. It can improve the air quality around your home or office desk by ionizer. There is one button to push on and you can control the wind volume by it. This device is powered via USB or 4 AA batteries.
You can get it here for only $10.

Sony has a great new ad campaign for their digital audio players, created by Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney, helmed by art director Eron Broughton. The agency took Sony's earphones and literally mapped out the subway systems of London, New York and Sydney, mimicking a traditional subway map. It's a simple idea but powerful in its execution, giving Sony a much-need dose of coolness. Now all Sony needs to do is apply that principle to its actual products.

Believe. DVDs coated with a layer of genetically-altered microbe proteins could one day hold terabytes of information, says a US-based researcher, reporting his findings at the International Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Brisbane recently.
Venkatesan Renugopalakrishnan, a professor of Biomedical Engineering at Florida International University and an internationally recognized expert in protein structural biology and engineering has invented a next-generation means of storage technology that dwarfs current technology.
Renu (as the professor is known) and his team at BioFold Inc., a California-based firm that he founded in 1999, in collaboration with FIU and other corporate labs, are designing a single-layer DVD that can store up to 198 gigabytes of data – more than 20 times the capacity of a dual-layer DVD-9. The technology will be able to store even up to 50,000 gigabytes (about 50 terabytes), he says.

Trying to romance your lady? Forget about roses and wine. She already knows you’re a geek so use some gadgets while you romance her.
It’s a tough call as to whether or not she will find these wine shaped usb speakers romantic or not. Who knows how a woman thinks. But just imagine a candle light dinner with this pair of wine glass speakers on the table and some soft music. They feature 2.1 channel subwoofers and who knows you might get lucky. Just be careful that you don’t pour wine in them. $21.99.

A simple change to the design of the gallon milk jug, adopted by Wal-Mart and Costco, seems made for the times. The jugs are cheaper to ship and better for the environment, the milk is fresher when it arrives in stores, and it costs less.
Apparently consumers may need some re-education about how to most effectively pour from these new jugs. The pouring issue is significant enough that many retailers (including Sam's Club, Costco, and Walmart) are giving demos.
I just hope someone starts designing some nicer labels for it...

The Vader Project , a "reimagining of the iconic Darth Vader helmet by some of today's hottest pop and underground artists", was recently on display at Star Wars Celebration Japan. A lot of them are pretty cool. says Geekologie... understatement of the decade I say - best thing on the interwebby I've seen this year. And that is a big statement.

Melissa Saenz at Caltech in Pasadena was tipped off when a visitor looked at her screensaver, which made no noise, and said, "Does anyone else hear that?"
She quizzed him and found that his experience had the hallmarks of synaesthesia: a trigger through one sense was giving rise to a sensory experience in another. It was automatic and her visitor had experienced it as far back as he could remember.
