From the Samsung hype machine on the HT-X250T home theatre system; “You don’t need to burn CDs or DVDs to enjoy music,video clips or photos on your home theater system - just plug a portable digital device into the USB port for instant entertainment.” Hell of an idea, eh? Imagine watching that show you downloaded to your iPhone on your home theatre system. Sure, it may look goofy on that much larger HD screen, but just to be able to DO it is geek cred enough. This one’s getting rave consumer reviews, and check out those specs! 5.1 Surround Sound decoder with 600 watts of total output power, HDMI out with 1080i upconversion and CEC, USB Host with JPEG, MP3, WMA, and DivX support, tons more.

Get this while you can. It does sort of make your mouth water just looking at it, eh? Maybe this is some sort of chick-magnet with all that “forbidden donut” hunger thing going on.

Remote control technology finally has a grown-up use! Calling the Stewart Golf X3R a caddy may be a bit misleading since it won’t select your clubs for you, but in all other respects this RC golf bag cart functions just like a real caddy–it will definitely carry your balls with no complaints. Two grand buys you remote control from 50 feet away and the ability to go the distance for a full18 holes. Those features are augmented by the fact that unlike a human caddy, the 3XR won’t snicker into his sleeve when you dump one into the water hazard.

Digital Perhipheral Solutions presents the QSB180, featuring three ways to unlock; fingerprint, fingerprint and PIN, or the clunky old homeowner 1.0 front door key. It can store up to 30 fingerprints, and runs independently of your electrical system on AA batteries. If the electricity goes dead, you won’t be locked out of your house! The batteries last about a year under normal circumstances. If all else fails, this unit has an emergency connection for a 9V battery. We’re going to guess that serial-romance types like Charlie Sheen and Jennifer Lopez have one of these, since you don’t have to change the locks ever time you ditch another significant other…

As a PC Gamer, I’ve always kind of scoffed at consoles. The precision that mouse control provides in FPS and even third-person view games is unmatched by any other controller. Every time I’ve tried to play a first-person war game on Xbox360 or PS3, I feel little more than frustration. The inability to drop my crosshairs exactly where I want them drives me mad. Sure, I assimilate, like every God(of War)-fearing gamer out there. But still, my heart remains with PC games, where I can truly draw a bead on whatever moving target I can see with my eye or my scope… Enter SplitFish’s extraordinary FragFX controller. This brings the precision control of a mouse to the console environment, with controls optimized for PS3 games. So when I sit down to play Assassin’s Creed, you can bet your ass I’ll be hitting my marks right where I want them…
