Jul 28, 2012 4:30 PM   You might not have the genius-level IQ and billions of dollars needed to build yourself a flying suit of armor like Tony Stark did. But with around $200 and a healthy imagination, Hot Toys' insanely detailed Iron Man Mark VII figure could fill that void in your heart. The company is well known for crafting remarkably detailed miniature versions of comic book heros, but its take on the Mark VII suit goes above and beyond the call of duty. It's covered in movable flaps, hidden weapons, and includes optional battle-damaged body panels. You can even swap in Robert Downey Jr.'s head, even though it might ruin the superhero fantasy of you being behind that mask.

Right after Steve Jobs came back to lead Apple, he declared a total ban on software Easter Eggs and credits in the About box of every product made in Cupertino. They are back now. And this one is insanely great : Next time you download an app from the Mac App Store, go quickly to your applications folder and check out the time stamp on the downloading application. It will say January 24, 1984. If this doesn't sound familiar, slap yourself and then watch the video included in this article. Yes, January 24, 1984 is the birth date of the original Macintosh (I have one of these in my living room, manufactured at Apple's Fremont factory, on the 28th week of 1984). After the app downloads completely, the timestamp gets updated to its real timestamp. I love it. Steve Jobs would have liked this. When he returned to his Magic Kingdom, he banned all credits and easter eggs in Apple software. This was a 180-degree change from his policy back in the first years of the company. He justifi...

Jul 23, 2012 11:20 AM   Batman is best known for his wonderful arsenal of gadgets and weapons, but even with a suit of bulletproof body armor the caped crusader probably still wouldn't touch this scary-looking knife with a ten-foot batpole. Designed by Tom Anderson, the Interceptor looks like its creator started with a standard set of 'brass' knuckles but then went completely overboard with a series of fang-like blades. It's probably pretty effective at injuring an attacker, but from the looks of it, the person brandishing the blade might walk away with just as many cuts and abrasions. And where the hell are you supposed to safely carry this thing? You can get it here for about $56, but make sure you also pick up a case of Polysporin and bandages before you decide to wield it.
