Not supposed to be watching TV? There’s ways around that. Take this TV Flash Lamp, which will conceal your LCD mistress in the lampshade of a fully functional light. Whenever the coast is clear, you can lock the doors, slide the lampshade down, and bask in the glow of glorious digital entertainment. The next thing you know, you’ll be laughing your ass off watching people hurt themselves on Spike.

If you count yourself among the legion of “Browncoats” devoted to the short-lived series Firefly, prepare to open up old wounds. But there is a reward—kind of like when the doctor (in this case Dr. Fox) gave you a small treat after stabbing you in the arm. Thanks Dr. Fox, you bastard.
I’m referring to the upcoming anthology dubbed Firefly: Still Flying from Titan Books. They’ve been kind enough to hook Nerd Approved up with an advance copy, and there is a lot for fans to enjoy here—including four new short stories from the series writers.
When they are not trying to kill Pac-Man, the ghosts like to kick back and watch some TV. Like any nerd, they are very opinionated about it.

If you had some sort of prank involving TV-B-Gone devices on tap for April fools, you might want to rethink your plans now that TV Poltergeist is here. With TV-B-Gone, you have to manually turn the TV on and off. It really wasn’t anything more than a universal remote. TV Poltergeist, on the other hand, is a 24 hour set-it-and-forget-it system.

Anyone with a gut knows that the remote control is the gatekeeper to weight gain and mindless entertainment. But there was one important factor that, until now, was left out of the lazy equation… a built in bottle opener. That’s where this “Clicker” universal remote comes in. In addition to the bottle opener, it will also control up to 9 components, including TV, Cable, VCR, Satellite, as well as DVD and CD players. Now the only looming threat of exercise will be if the clicker goes missing… God forbid.

At first glance, the idea of a cardboard TV may be a little silly, but I bet a kid with a good imagination is watching far better programming on this than adults who dropped $2,000 on an HDTV and only have the option of reality shows or 24 hr. news networks. Plus the kid assembled his TV by himself, and doesn’t have to watch commercials. An additional shark design is pictured after the break.
B.A Baracus may have been afraid to fly, but he was right at home in a van. Available for pre-order starting this month.
