eStarling Digital Picture Frame Hands-On (Verdict: Almost Picture-Perfect So Far)
The long-awaited eStarling digital picture frame is finally available, and now here's the first hands-on review we've seen. The reviewer gives it a big thumbs-up, lauding its Wi-Fi connectivity and easy setup. He also likes the way you can set up an e-mail address that can receive pictures from anyone, but doesn't much care for the fact that it must be either a gmail account or one that's at eStarling.com.

Popalive's LCD Remote Keeps Tabs on Your iPod
Despite its Fisher Price-sounding name, Alive-Style's new Popalive remote looks pretty cool. It's basically a wireless remote with an embedded 1.5-inch color screen that lets you view and navigate your iPod from afar. Dock your iPod with the Popalive Dock, connect it to your stereo or TV (the dock has audio and video outputs), and with the Popalive remote you can control what plays next. It uses bi-directional RF connectivity, which the company claims works through walls, etc. We'll have to try that out ourselves, but otherwise seems like a cool accessory. Pricing isn't out yet, but you can expect to see the Popalive by the end of the year. More »

How To Find Wii Component Cables
We have to admit, we're six years late to the party on this one. We just purchased a set of PS2 component cables this past weekend and have to say that there's a pretty noticeable difference between composite and component, even on an old system like the PS2. More »

MojoPlay Monitor Makes Your 360 Mobile
I don't normally make it a habit of lugging my Xbox 360 around to other people's houses, but should the desire ever arise (or if you have a car to do the lugging for you), MojoPlay's MP-920XB is at your service. It's a 9.2-inch traveling display that connects to your 360 and lets you play games when someone else is hogging up the TV. The screen has an 800x480 resolution along with built-in speakers and dual headphone jacks. It's out today for $170 with PS3 and Wii equivalents slated for next year, though personally I wouldn't wanna play any console games on a display smaller than 26-inches. More »

Books are Overrated—Electronic Scrabble Dictionary
Who wants to get their fingers all paper-y flipping through a real dictionary when you can just type in atrociously wrong word to this little doodad. This officially licensed Scrabble electronic dictionary can ensure that there are no cheating bastards trying to take you in Scrabble. This device is also capable of building words, but using word building programs is pretty weaksauce, in my opinion. $40. More »

Rise and Shine Bedside Lamp Wakes up Nicely
You may prefer more extreme wake-up methods, but personally, I enjoy being eased out of my slumber. This ingenious Rise and Shine Bedside Lamp can do so. This lamp has an integrated alarm clock that will ease you awake with lights and environment noises. It can also do the alarm in reverse (aka a sleep mode). It is available in ivory and black and sells for a semi-hefty $150. More »

Signs of the Apocalypse: USB Shaver
Are power outlets become so scarce that we are forced to power our shaving gadgets with USB ports? Guess so. This USB shaver sucks its juice from your laptop or PC USB ports and can keep you looking not-so-rugged at the anywhere your USB ports go. I guess it could be convenient for the laptop road warriors, but when I'm driving I prefer to bust out the old straight razor to shave. More chance of death = more XTREME! It is available for $30.

Dirty Gizmodo Supplemental: Snowman Candle
In our unending quest to ruin the holiday spirit, we conceptualized a Scroogetastic prank product that could ironically epitomize anti-winter at the highest level, and then discovered that it actually existed...as an earnest decoration. The whole idea of a snowman that you set on fire to celebrate the season is so deeply disturbing that we are posting this despite its pitiful lack of a USB port. More »
