Secure your car with the Violent Steering Wheel

WORLD’S MOST VIOLENT STEERING WHEEL !!! – video powered by Metacafe

Thieves will have no chance with the violent steering wheel

A guy from Ohio has created a secure steering wheel which when touched it violently spins around making the car impossible to drive away. I am guessing it could also break your wrist depending on how powerful the motor that controls it is. With it being custom built there is no information if any of the car companies would use or want something like this in their cars.

Steering Wheel Mounted Laptop

April 4, 2007 by Leave a Comment

Steering Wheel Mounted Laptop
The steering wheel mounted laptop has to rank in the top 10 craziest gadgets around. I am unsure of the benefits of needing such a device. I do admit that the design of it is sleek and nice to look at, but the idea of it mounting in and around your steering wheel is just crazy.

I doubt that this laptop will hit the shelves soon but if it does then just make sure you dont try to use it while driving 😉

Sony PSP Steering Wheel Mod

March 20, 2007 by Leave a Comment

PSP Steering Wheel
The Sony PSP Steering Wheel mod is one of those mods you just have to take a look at, but at the same time you wonder why it was thought of. It’s not the most practical of mods to have been created and it isnt a portable mod (from what I can tell in the video below). However, it kind of is cool to think you can burn around the track on Ridge Racer or smash people up on Burnout.

Infographic: How the iPod nano has Changed Since Original Launch

September 2, 2010 by Leave a Comment

We don’t post that many infographics, but thought this was worth a quick look at.

The infographic here shows how the iPod nano has changed over the years. The latest model is the 6th generation. Each generation has added new features and changed things around a bit. The first started off with a monochrome screen which was replaced with a colour screen, then a larger screen, then a wide screen, tall screen, taller screen and on to the square screen.

The 6th gen model is the first to adopt a touchscreen and drop the click wheel controls. [Read more…]
