It is safe to say that we have all experienced some sort of breakup in our lives. Maybe it was back in 3rd grade or maybe it was yesterday. Some poor guy in Germany recently got dumped by his girlfriend. Rather than sulk he channeled his knowledge of lasers and created an Iron Man arm piece. Patrick Priebe, German laser gadget guru, decided to spend 130 hours and $650 to build that same mechanical device that helps turn Tony Stark into the hottest super hero of the moment. Included in the Iron Man Gauntlet, as you see in the video below, are everything from the pop up motion of the laser to the distinctive red and gold casing. Also seen in the video is Priebe blasting some balloons with the two 1.2 watt blue lasers and two 4-miliwatt red lasers.  On his website you will find other creative laser (and non-laser) devices like a Pulse Laser Gun, a Wrist Bow and a Flame Glove. Why does he create such contraptions? Mainly out of boredom so it sounds. All is not lost however as he was able to sell the Iron Man Gauntlet for over $2600. Not bad for a project to kill time after a breakup. Thanks: L.A.

Yet cables or even Bluetooth can prove a hassle. Near Field Audio technology (NearFA™) came on the scene last year and mystified many of us. How can a box amplify our devices audio without cables or connections? The jury is still out. Heck there isn't even a Wikipedia page on it. Rumors are that NearFA devices use the magnetic field of a phone/tablet's speaker and feed it into their own amp and speaker. Regardless of the science, it sure is nice to simply set your phone on top of a box and have your audio amplified – without cables. The Touch Speaker launches this month and proves to add another stylish addition to the small family of NearFA products. This gadget, housed in a silicone protector, outputs 2.5W x 2RMS and simply takes 3 AA batteries. And with NearFA technology, the Touch Speaker is compatible with any device containing a built-in mobile speaker. Perfect if a friend or family member with a different phone want to share some music. A 3.5mm jack is also included so you're covered that way too. thumbsUP will soon start selling the unit at £29.99. Pretty reasonable considering the ease of use. Enjoy the simplicity of hearing your devices audio effortlessly amplified.

After all, anytime is always a good time for some wine, and when you pair it up with the right kind of fine dining food, it becomes exquisite. Thing is, when you live in an area that is enveloped in a warm climate, the big challenge when it comes to drinking wine is in keeping the wine chilled. Perhaps it is time to forget about drippy ice-buckets, as the Corkcicle Color will be able to slot comfortably right into the top of your bottle, ensuring that your wine remains chilled from within while keeping out any of them nasty insects who decide to make your bottle of wine their temporary home. The Corkcicle Color is made from a thermal gel which has been completely sealed from within the elegant icicle shape, ensuring that it will be able to retain its temperature for a longer period than ice, and far more important, ensuring that your favorite wine does not end up diluted after a while.

Of course, expanding the use of one's imagination within the game makes perfect sense, and sometimes, don't you just wish that you could feel some cold, hard steel in your hand that comes in the form of the HammerBurst, especially when you are faced with an irritating colleague in the vicinity? Well, this is where the $899.99 Gears of War HammerBurst Prop Replica comes in handy. Yes sir, I do think that the price tag attached to it might seem to be rather excessive, but do bear in mind that this is a hand-cast, hand-finished, and hand-painted work of art, measuring 36 inches in length and tipping the scales at 35 pounds. With this, you will be able to tote the primary infantry weapon of the Locust around, throw a menacing look at whoever crosses your path the wrong way, and watch them flee in terror. Too bad it does not come with the melee option of the chainsaw bayonet, but at least you get larger caliber rounds and slow-automatic fire. The Gears of War HammerBurst Prop Replica will come with working LED effects and only 500 of these puppies will be in production, so get them while they're still hot.

Well, that is just fine and dandy, but some of us do hope that we are able to share the next best musical act (in our books, at least) with the rest of the crowd, and one of the ways to do so is to have a decent portable speaker – preferably wireless. This is where the Switch wireless portable speaker would come into play. Basically, Switch allows you to enjoy your music, movies and games with powerful sound and active bass. Apart from keeping folks entertained, it also doubles up as a professional conference call solution that will play nice with the rest of all Bluetooth enabled devices. Oh, the pros of the Switch do not just end there, as it can also function as a power bank and juice up whatever tired USB mobile devices that are in your possession on the go. Just like the Sony PS2, it does not matter if you want to place the Switch wireless portable speaker in a vertical or horizontal manner, the decision ultimately lies with you without causing any degradation in sound quality. The Switch wireless portable speaker was launched at CES earlier this year, and it will retail for $149.99 a pop. Your ears will definitely be able to appreciate all the technology parked underneath the hood, as it is powered by a trio of high performance drivers, aided by an active sub-woofer which ensures your tunes will sound amazing regardless of the musical genres of your choice.
