We all know Iron Man can do pretty much anything. Now you can have him help control your computer. Kinda like Jarvis. Granted, it’s pretty much a regular mouse and it does cost a pretty penny. But if you have the money (and you live in Japan), you can unleash your inner Tony Stark.

Again, Underground Toys thinks of an item we didn’t know we needed until we saw it. Because, really, can’t you think of lots of uses for a light up Pandorica key chain?

The latest vehicle from Kia to join the campaign for We Can Be Heroes features the one and only Wonder Woman. We’ve seen the Superman and Justice League models so far, and I’m glad to see a female superhero join the ranks. The Sportage model was build for charity and has plenty of amazing touches.
From Motor Trend:
…the Wonder Woman Sportage adds an aero kit, and is finished in a red and blue paint scheme accented with silver stars, much like the heroine’s outfit. The gold trim on parts of the CUV represent Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth, while the Tiger Nose grille wears the Wonder Woman’s eagle chest-plate emblem. Blue headlight beams mirror her blue eyes, and the windshield is topped off with a tiara sticker. Chrome side panels represent her invisible jet, and the five-spoke wheels match the stars stamped on the side of the Sportage.
Open up the doors, and red upholstery is highlighted with blue LED accent lighting. The custom seats are embroidered with her logo, and the rear cargo area is decorated with stars and an eagle, along with a see-through panel that displays Wonder Woman’s bracelets, tiara, and her golden lasso.
The superhero car line up was built in support of We Can Be Heroes, a charity which helps families dealing with famine and drought in Africa.

How much you want to build this in your own home depends on how you feel about psychotic robots. If you’re okay with them, then you can learn how to build this GlaDOS robotic arm lamp that starts with a little 3D printing. Designed by instructables user dragonator, it includes wiring that will let this Portal-inspired light move, although this part is still a work-in-progess. It doesn’t really matter though, because even without being able to move, this GlaDOS light is very cool.

Neon Genesis Evangelion fans are going to get their choice between three limited edition Pentax Q10 cameras. They’re essentially the same as a regular Pentax Q10 but with modified exterior colors. There will be a purple and green Shinji Ikari, a blue and white Rei Ayanami and an orange and red K-10 for Asuka Langley Soryu. The run will be limited to 1500 pieces but exactly how those pieces will be divided among the three models isn’t clear. All three will be available for purchase in April though no information on pricing has been announced thus far.

Production Designer James Chinlund has just posted beautiful concept art from The Avengers that showcases the vehicles seen in the film. There are full-color sketches along with graphics and even set design blueprints. There’s also evidence that, somewhere on that helicarrier, they’ve got an in-house Starbucks to keep S.H.I.E.L.D. agents happily caffeinated.

All those switches make it look like this box does something really important, but looks can be deceiving. An earlier version of this useless box had just one switch that, when turned on, would be turned off by a little arm that came out of the box. Useless. This one has eight switches and a little arm that will turn them off as fast as you can turn them on. The world’s most useless box- now with more advanced uselessness!

The Dalek Desk Defender deters intruders and makes a perfect holiday gift for any Doctor Who fan. But the best part is that it’s currently on sale for $24.99. That’s 38% off the list price!
The Dalek Desk Defender comes complete with a super-long USB cable, so even if your last remaining port is way in the back of your tower, your Dalek can still stand at the front lines. The motion sensor will detect movement between 6 and 9 feet away depending on the lighting in your office. While you’re sitting at your desk you can keep it in silent mode so it doesn’t drive you crazy with talk of extermination. Just be sure to turn it on before you leave for lunch.
Check out the video after the break to see it in action.
