Bigfoot captured by Fisher-Price, made into a toy Posted: 09 Feb 2010 05:12 PM PST Even though Bigfoot still alludes hunters in the Pacific Northwest, Fisher-Price has decided to merchandise him as a toy. I guess that the T-shirts weren’t enough. You’d probably have to live in the Pacific Northwest to get this joke. In fact, the popular toy company is unveiling the Imaginext Bigfoot the Monster at the Toy Fair 2010 in New York. Granted, you may feel offended with Fisher Price’s calling Bigfoot a monster, and I’m sure that someone other than me will complain. The Bigfoot is a remote controlled toy that has a remote, and it can do facial expressions, walk, and even do somersaults. It also has some touch points so the Bigfoot will, I don’t know, laugh when you touch his tummy, or something. Yes, Bigfoot has been reduced to a Pillsbury Doughboy. Man, those that believe that Bigfoot is real might just hate this. However, until someone gets a non-blurry picture of Bigfoot, I suppose this is what we have to deal with. You know, if Bigfoot was real, he might be ashamed at this cute representation of him. That, or maybe he’s going for a cute look, so that one day, he could reveal himself to the world. If you want to get this Bigfoot, then you will have to wait until June, with a $100 price tag. Source Cool Gift Idea: Digital Picture Frames, check out our reviews.

The Belkin Laptop Cooling Pad Posted: 09 Feb 2010 04:52 PM PST There are plenty of cooling pads out there, in all different shapes and sizes.  No matter what your needs you’ll have little trouble finding something for you.  If you happen to trust the Belkin brand name, then you might prefer getting a cooling pad made by them.  Plus for those of you that prefer your gadgets to have bright white coloring you’ll like this cooling pad. The angle of the cooling pad is meant to take some of the pressure off of your wrists.  It’s USB powered with a centered fan to allow for the maximum amount of cooling for your laptop.  It even features a wave type shape that is supposed to allow hot air to escape on either side of the pad.   You can purchase the cooling pad for $24.99 through Amazon.

Hi-Fido Limited Edition Speaker Posted: 09 Feb 2010 04:08 PM PST I never thought that I could own a speaker that I felt like I could pet, but now there is something out there that’s looking a bit like a dog.  Not in the dog ugly sort of manner, but it actually has four legs and a tail.  It’s even called Hi-Fido in honor of the dog-like appearance.  All around making for a very cute speaker to have in your home. It will be a little difficult to get your hands on though.  A total of 10 of these will be available in the US and that’s it.  Which means it’s pretty safe to say that a majority of us will never actually see one of these in person.  The speaker itself uses the acoustic properties of ceramic to diffuse hi quality sound with a bass reflex system.  It of course swears to have top of the line sound quality and considering how few of these are being created it’s probably true.  Currently they aren’t saying how much one of these will cost, but I doubt it’s cheap.

Lian Li T1 Spider spotted in the Taiwanese wild Posted: 09 Feb 2010 03:41 PM PST Normally I don’t report on things like casing or housing for computers, but I found this video and thought that it was the most ingenious piece of advertising that I have ever seen. At first I thought that the Lian Li T1 Pitstop was one of those robot devices that we report on from time to time, but it is not. You can watch the nature mock-umentary in the YouTube video that I included here. According to the vid, “the frame can support a mini ATX power supply, a mini ITX motherboard, and an open top frame for convenient benchmark tweaking”. I am obviously not technical enough to know what those terms mean. Yeah, I know that I am a writer for Coolest Gadgets, but I don’t really know the inside of gadgets. I’m more of consumer electronics guy. Still, I can understand the Lian Li’s color. I am assuming the video is true in its assumption that red in nature means danger. In the electronics world, red clearly means that someone is trying to make a product that looks cool. Well, there doesn’t seem to be any word on pricing or availability of this Lian Li T1 Pitstop, but if this is the beginning of a new method of advertising for casing/housing, then I am all over this! You hear that casing and housing manufacturers? You want more coverage, make more videos like this one! Source Check out the Coolest Gadgets 2008 Gift Guides, Christmas shopping made easy.

Another Heart Shaped Gadget For Valentine’s Day Posted: 09 Feb 2010 03:04 PM PST Valentine’s Day is coming up quick and in light of that here’s one more cheesy heart-shaped gadget to go along with the lovey little holiday.  This tiny heart will hold onto your iPod and play your favorite music for everyone to hear.  Whether they like it or not.  They even come in other colors besides pinks and reds.  Alright, so it’s only one other color, but it’s something other than pink. As far as colors go this comes in black, red, dark pink and pale pink.  The sweet heart-shaped dock will work with your iPod Classic, iPod Nano and even the iPod Touch.  Beyond that it’s pretty much your average run of the mill iPod dock.  Except this one is in the shape of a heart.  Unfortunately it might be a little difficult to get one of these since it’s straight from Japan.

We Have a New Look (finally) Posted: 09 Feb 2010 08:03 AM PST We are now in our fifth year of finding and reporting on all the latest and greatest cool gadgets. In that time technology has certainly moved forward and we’ve had a chance to play with some very cool gear.

Sportpong puts pong on the floor Posted: 08 Feb 2010 04:04 PM PST Two weeks ago, we reported on how electronic projections and digital technology was taking traditional board games to a whole new level. Now, old-school video games are being taken to a whole new level with Sportpong. Yes, you can’t get any more old school with video games than the classic Pong game with the paddles and squared ball. This Sportpong is definitely a more active game than Dance Dance Revolution and WiiSports put together. You can check out the video after the jump to see how it works, but it has people strapping “paddles” onto their feet that are equipped with special reflectors. From above, projectors beam the image of the bouncing ball, and users must block the ball from hitting the opposite wall, with their feet. Sounds like a good way to get an old school gamer into shape, doesn’t it? Sportpong feels like a game that people would play at night clubs, and then return home drunk and completely out of breath. Unfortunately, this Sportpong is not for sale, at least not yet. At this point, it can only be played by contacting the Swiss creators, and scheduling it for special events. I have no idea how much the cost of this is. Source Sportpong-Giesserei-14062008 from Sportpong on Vimeo. Tech Cult – We cover the latest tech news, but always with a funny twist.
