Azimuth SP-1 Landship watch looks like a tank

, May 6th 2011 Discuss [4]

I just posted up story about a strange wall clock, and then I ran across a cool wristwatch that looks like an old tank. The watch is called the Azimuth SP-1 Landship.

It won't open your wine with much style or say, "I'm rich" like this fancy corkscrew from Core-38. Read The Full Story

, Jan 21st 2011 Discuss [2]

With more gadgets wanting to get their juice via USB, and the contents of our hardware bags quickly outnumbering the AC sockets on offer, manufacturers are getting clever to ways they can extend what power ports are accessible at any one time.
