You never know if these are real or if they are just a clever fifteen year old kid with Photoshop skills. Either way the iPhone 5 rumors continue. This one straight from Giz-China claims this is a factory leak of the iPhone 5 design prototype. Best way to figure this out is to wait or month or two and see what Apple actually releases.

Hilarious Roller Coaster Fail. Kid gets head stuck on roller coaster video.

The Chevrolet Colorado Rally Concept truck pictured above will most likely not become a reality even thought it looks totally doable. The Colorado Rally Concept truck comes with 4-doors, four-wheel drive, 18-inch rims (305/60 R18), adjustable suspension, a 2.8-liter turbo diesel engine, front and back winches, GPS, vented acrylic side windows, rally racing seats with five-point seatbelts, roll bar, and a Hydration Pack for the thirsty occupants. It kind of reminds me of the oil burning Chevrolet Avalanche… but cooler.

Ok… one of the biggest gripes about the VueZone camera system was the fact that you never knew when to peak in to see what was happening. More often then not I would login to check on the cat… and the cat would be in another room. If the cameras only had motion detection. Well Avaak (Vue) has finally released their indoor motion detection camera (CM2040) to the world. Read on for a full review of the VueZone Motion Detection Camera after the break.

Seems like a great joke product or gag gift… but either way it is, sadly, real. The Que Cologne is scented with fragrances of sweat, spices, smoke, and meat. Maybe you could use this one to cover up stripper perfume and say you were at a BBQ?

It is always nice when an already great product gets even better. We did a review of the original Jewel Jet professional jewelry steam cleaner last year and loved it. The 2nd Generation Jewel Jet (pictured above) is and even better jewelry steam cleaner. Don’t take this to mean the original 1st generation Jewel Jet wasn’t close to perfect… it still works great. Think of it like the Apple iPhone which tends to improve an already great product with each new release. Read on for the 2nd Generation Jewel Jet Review

Think of it as a paintball gun without the messy paint. The Xploderz Water Pellet Guns shoot a super absorbent polymer that expands as you pre-soak it in water. After soaking the pellets in water you load them into a cartridge and mount it on your gun of choice. Some guns include the XBlaster 200, XStormer 1000, or the XRanger 2000 (pictured above). Good news… the H2Grow ammo is pretty cheap at about $7.50 per 500 rounds. Video of the Xploderz after the break.

iBoobies? Really? The case pictured above is made of silicon (duh) and is very soft and squishy. Not sure who would be brave enough to rock this boobie iPhone case in public… but it is kinda funny. The case not only protects your iPhone 4 but acts as a stand as well. Rock on iBoobies. Oh yeah… it can be picked up at Amazon for only $4.95.

The Honda EV-N Micro Car is an electric car, similar to the Nissan Leaf, but with a super clean throwback styling. The Honda EV-N reminds me a bit of the old Mini Cooper with the two ton color scheme, however the roof isn’t painted black… that is a solar panel on top. When the lithium-ion powered car starts up the front lights up in a smile. The EV-N comes with two built-in chargers for a pair of U3-X’s… video and pictures after the break.

I want… I want so bad it hurts a bit. The Hoverbike ($TBA) is a motorcycle style ultralight aircraft that’s powered by a flat twin 4-stroke. You basically sit on, and ride, the Hoverbike like a motorcycle. On the handlebars are your typical speed and direction controls. The Hoverbike is made up of custom carbon fiber propellers, frame, driveshafts, and seat… so start saving your $ because this puppy won’t be cheap. The estimated range is about 100 miles per tank and the best part… It can go up to 10,000 feet in the air.

Ok… the boring stuff first… it is a watch… it tells time… has a timer… date…stopwatch… and comes in 7 different colors. Ok now that we have covered the normal stuff… the coolest part of the “The Genie” watch is the fact that it has a “Magic 8 Ball” mode which responds to any question asked with one of 15 random messages. You remember the Magic 8 Ball right? The Nixon Genie Watch is controlled by a rotating bezel which allows you to switch through the modes. I will be using this for all of my tough decisions going forward. Video of the Nixon The Genie Watch after the break.

No doubt Apple has finally realized that a button is nice when taking photos. When Apple releases iOS 5 they will have some options for using existing buttons to take photos. This doesn’t mean there isn’t space for Red Pop, a cool iPhone camera button and handle. Watch the slick video after the break.

So if you live on the Xbox 360 platform and have been jealous of the Turtle Beach PX5 headset for the PS3… today is a good day. The XP500 is basically the same design as the PX5’s but now for the Xbox 360. You get the programmable Dolby virtual 7.1, a rechargeable Xbox 360 Bluetooth Adapter, and a $260 price tag (ouch).

Stupid Tennessee lawmakers have just passed a measure that would make it a criminal offense to use a shared password with a friend (even with full permission). This actually applies to any service… like Rhapsody, Hulu, Netflix, etc…The bill is currently awaiting the governors approval, let’s hope he has a brain and stamps it with a big “no thanks”. Not holding my breath however. The RIAA losers started this initiative and won’t stop until they fully kill their CD and DVD business. Tennessee, why stop there… how about people sharing a sandwich?

Most folks tend to slap a protective case, or cover, on their iPad and call it good. Some others want the option to have their iPad act like more of a laptop. If, sometimes, you have the need to type large amounts of text the touch screen can be a bit tough… I get it. While we have looked at iPad keyboard cases, like the Menotek iPad 2 Bluetooth Keyboard Case, the Crux Loaded case seems to be the best yet. However, you will have to wait until this fall to purchase the Crux Loaded case. Read on for what makes this iPad 2 keyboard case so amazing.
