Ah Hokkaido, the distant icy cold north of Japan that I have yet to visit. It is famous for bears, vast expanses of space, freezing cold and of course the annual snow festival. The following photo is taken by a Kotaku reader by the name of Ryan. The sculpture is to commemorate thirty years of Space Invaders.

As a Geek, perhaps you have the same issue as I do. You see, gadgets require power to charge up and the more gadgets you collect and use, the harder it is to find places to plug-in all your gadgets so when you’re running out the door in the morning to sit in traffic you don’t forget you Treo, Blackberry, iPods, etc… Combine this with multiple people in your house and every socket in your kitchen is in use! Wouldn’t it be great for cable organization so your gadget resting place looks as nice and neat as your wiring closet only you see in the basement? The Five Device Recharging Station is a recharging platform that, go figures, stores and recharges up to five devices from one convenient place with four integrated AC ports and two USB ports.

Posted Feb 10th 2008 4:28AM by Paul MillerFiled under: Gaming We’ve seen a couple fake Game Boy micros in the past, but none of them have been as faithful reproductions as this one here. Sadly, we’ve got little to go on as far as games or other functions in this “Game Joy micro,” but it looks like at least Tetris is a shoo-in, which is really all that matters. Check after the break for a few other gems of fakery.[Thanks, Johnny] Tags: PDA, gizmos, game, players (Read the full post about ‘Keepin’ it real fake, part CX: Game Joy micro’…)

I have not played mini-golf in years. Would I play if I had a golf course in my basement? Of course I would, but first I would need a basement and a pile of money to purchase one of these black light mini-golf courses.

As it turns out, Microsoft may be breaking a few hearts by not being able to fulfill all its Zune 80 Valentine’s Day Originals shipments, but not all is lost for their loving customers. Users who haven’t already gotten their units will apparently get a full refund — as well the player they ordered. Aw, isn’t that candy-heart sweet? And should you wind up with one of these for V-Day, you might try every so gingerly asking for dinner with that $250 your special someone saved.

Posted Feb 9th 2008 11:10PM by Paul MillerFiled under: Household There comes the time in every young person’s life where they decide to graduate from the microwave to the stove. And fail miserably. Now instead of retreating dejectedly back to the kitchen microwave, where the rest of the appliances can point and make fun, you can hide your shame with the iWave Cube. The little microwave measures one cubic foot (about the size of a Kleenex box), and weighs just 12 pounds. Unfortunately, you’ll still need to plug it in, so there’s a limit to how far you can run.

We’re not how it slipped by before, but Nikon’s got one more in its new S-series Coolpix cameras, the S600. The 10 megapixel camera bests the recently-announced S550 with a 2.7-inch LCD, 3200 ISO and optical image stabilization, but cuts the zoom to 4x and jacks the price to $299. The camera will be available in March. [Source] Tags: AAC, digital, consumer electronics, Ogg Vorbis (Read the full post about ‘Nikon’s S600 rounds out the new Coolpix lineup’…)

Microsoft has realized that to retain its all-pervading status in the world of software, it will not suffice producing systems software and software that would run on PCs.

Palm has just announced the soon-to-be-available unlocked GSM Centro. At first launch the unlocked, quad-band GSM Centro will be available in black only.

The unlocked GSM version will retail for €299/£199 or around $400 US, which is the retail pricing before any rebates are given with contracts.
