And the winner is...the realtors who sold this place twice. 100K (10%) in commissions if the buyer wasn't one himself.

Sorry in advance, but I agree with Mathew. It is too crazy for me, I am 34. I think the logo should be like it is on the website, changing it does not help brand recognition. Also, I think I read here once that this site is not just about electronic gadgets, but the shirt seems to imply that. I feel oh gizmo does not have a well defined image at this point. I like this site, and that is why I am giving my honest opinion.

I would not wear any of these. I would give the prize to #1 because he/she seemed to have put the most effort into the design.

Pick the best and give them a prize. You don't have to use their design.

I agree with Mike Godfrey. It is easy to install an app like Spybot and cleanup all that stuff. I bought a vio last week, and it did have add-ware on it, but I got it for only $850. It is a great laptop. I had 2 HP laptops, and needed something more reliable. The HP laptops also had a lot of add-ware on them when they were new.

"explain to me why it costs MORE money to replace an ink cartridge than it does to buy a new printer"
The printer is usually sold at a loss or given away in the hope to profit after you buy the third or fourth ink cartidge. I think this marketting model failed miserably and degraded the perceived value of printers.

>>tray freezes fully functional Lego bricks!
This is not true, because the bottom of the ice bricks will not have the cavities to lock onto the tops of other bricks.

I think sports fans will find this useful if they can cheer their team on by displaying team specific text or images.

This seems to be the first step towards a chameleon jacket that helps you blend into the background, say a wall or lawn.

This is great. I always thought that there should be a bike that shifts automatically to keep a constant strain on the legs. This is a great step in this direction - al is needed in some electronic control to vary the diameter of the rear cog as a funtion of belt strain. Maybe the belt can have a strain sensor inserted into it.

It says, "First the Scal-Pal? femtosecond laser cuts a small flap in the cornea of your eye. Then the excimer laser vaporizes a tiny section of the lens without damaging the surrounding tissue."

I prefer a Doctor vaporizes my lenses if need be, rather than soumething with "pal" in its name.

This seems less portable than the USB drives common today. I thik it stands out for its large capacity though.

The link you post includes other fun ideas. This Scarface server seems to be imagined.
