It's Tesla, squared. And marbleized. Like the originals, Dual Arc Tesla Coil Lighters trade in butane for USB-rechargeable electricity, and ignite cigs, candles, and kindling with the flameless and windproof technology...

Your personal tattletale, Sammy Screamer goes on guard against sticky fingers, nosy noses, and hands getting too close to the cookie jar (or liquor cabinet). The palm-sized alarm is motion sensitive, bleeping out loud...

If, like Selena Gomez, you can't keep your hands to yourself, check out Yomaxer's version of metaphorical gin and juice, the Tri-Spinner Fidget Toy. Hands idle can kill time, and hands anxious may find some relief from...

Torch, a universal, wearable coat heater invites you to get fired up, and take this year's winter storms by storm. Use the wraparound warmer to up your puffy coat's game, or trade the marshmallow-in-a-trash-bag look for...

The only thing less fun than painting your living room walls purple--sorry, eggplant--is having your girlfriend decide after all the paint is applied, and dried, and you're moving your couch back in front of the TV, that...

We can't all buy self-driving car prototypes or Teslas with Autopilot to keep us from veering out of our lanes or "bumping" the median when drowsiness starts winding its way around our consciousness. And even though the...

ZEI time- and task-tracking dice have rolled--Indiana Jones boulder-style--past their $80,000 Kickstarter funding goal and, at 4 days left in the campaign, have collected over $265,000 in pledges. Now what I want to know...

That video of me and my girlfriend making sweet, hot...honey chipotle chicken for dinner? Beam it down, Scotty. We'll watch it later projected onto the back wall of the bedroom. And then maybe later on the living room...

They say Cozmo is the first "real-life robot like you've only seen in movies." One that has his own personality, which his family (i.e., your kids, i.e., you if you like geeking out on robots) helps cultivate over time...

As Rogue One readies to flash back in the Star Wars timeline, you've got the opportunity to flash back in the IRL timeline (but, uh, forward in the Star Wars timeline) to The Force Awakens, and Sphero's 2015 BB-8 app-enabled...

The name's Bond. Flames Bond. Quick, here's a couple grand to spend on ST Dupont (the French luxury brand, not the US polymer one) loot. Do you go for the James Bond Spectre lighter or the Star Wars TIE Fighter pen? I'd...

Wazer, the self-described first ever desktop waterjet cutter, has a few things going for it. First, if your friend Cornelius has ever sprayed you in the face with a pressure washer, you know how strong a jet of water...

No good can come of consumers using 100% accurate real-time GPS tracking...except monthly subscription rates as low as $25 with no contract or activation fees! "Yahtzee!" says my Aunt Jan. Oh cousin Ricky, you poor bastard...

If I had a nickel for every nickel that's ever gotten me out of a pickle, I'd have...one Shomer-Tec Nickel. Because, holy Thomas Jefferson, dudes, the Shomer-Tec nickel isn't just your average five cent piece. It's also...

I love the dude who makes Grand Illusions' videos. I think his name is either George or Hendrik. Both because George Auckland and Hendrik Ball are the two Brits who founded and run Grand Illusions out of an 18th century...

Do fellow airline passengers refuse to respect your personal space? Then Create A Space of your own. Got a seat mate who hogs all the space on the armrest? Create A Space for your elbow, and yours alone...

What if I don't want to disconnect? What if I don't want to see another person for miles, but do want to keep listening to "Love Yourself" and checking to see if Bieber restored his Instagram account? And also have a...

The dude in your office who always says to Ping me, brah! when that copy's done. When you're getting coffee? When it's time for Friday Feats of Strength in the conference room? Oh, it's time to ping him, brah!...

Sleep should be simple. Get tired, lie down, close your eyes, enter Sandman. And maybe it would be if it weren't for that barking dog. The constant sirens. The voices outside. Or, worse, the total, eerie silence. Just...

I've wished I were a human bulldozer. A human airplane. A human beatbox. But a human compass? Never crossed my mind before North Sense...

Boldly go where only Geordi La Forge has gone before. Avegant's Glyph is a Kickstarted mobile personal theater that wears like a combo of over-ear headphones and a Star Trek VISOR. Use it to watch movies, play games...

They say Summer Is Coming. And not six, 10-episode seasons from now. Like, next week. The Plains, Midwest, and South can expect scorching temperatures, stifling humidity, and lots and lots of armpit sweat...

Now that I've molted off all their dead skin, it's time to treat my Baby Foot feet to another bodily luxury from Japan: shiatsu massage. This multi-setting machine says it will knead, press, warm, and even sterilize tired...
