if you’re fine with a cheapy $5 mouse pad, Vaja’s custom-colored pad is not for you. Starting at $60, this sleek, two-toned pad is wrapped in leather which develops a patina over time.

The Samsung E200 Eco’s lime green case is made out of bioplastic, earning it big green-points. Bioplastic is derived from renewable sources, as opposed to petroleum.

We can’t help but draw comparisons between South Park’s prescient Guitar Queero episode and Chris Chike, but the latter is the real deal: a true Guitar Hero in our midst.

This heavily customized Yoka bear is mad expensive, but anything with a head like a Sarlacc gets our respect. We also like the retro/steampunk accents on the feet, ear and eyes.

We have a bad good feeling about this. GeekStuff4U has a bunch of Darth Vader and R2D2 4-port USB hubs in stock; check out the video above of the R2 hub beeping. Watch to the end!

Just one look at the maniacally ornate innards of Chronoswiss’ Edition Zeitzeichen watch and we know it’s way out of our league. Features skeletonizing, engraving and guilloche details.

Even if you’re not a fan of Mercedes or aero kits, it’s hard not to stare longingly at the SL65 AMG Black Series; these photos were snapped at the North American debut of the Ferrari California.

Brixton’s Chord Wallet is a classic bifold with a twist: a small compartment for guitar picks makes this perfect for six string slingers. Includes plenty of card slots and a bill pocket.

Gateway’s P-7811FX gaming notebook packs in a lot (Geforce 9800M, 4 GB RAM, good battery life) for very little — it’s only a third the cost of a comparable Alienware laptop.

We’ve just learned that Crysis Warhead also comes with a multiplayer component called Crysis Wars; the explosion-laden trailer above has us sold. Not bad for an expansion pack.

Sennheiser is a top audio manufacturer so we recommend their MX-W1 headphones; they’re wireless and run 13 hours after plugging into the charger, which doubles as a carring case.

It’s not easy to pull off purple shoes and still keep them dude-friendly, but Diesel’s I’m Pression Mid Sneaker does the trick. It’s a funky but sweet mix of genuine leather and lacquered surfaces.

Available at Vladstudio.com, Planet Earth Inversed is one of those wallpapers that has you poring over the creative details. The neutral color scheme is easy on the eyes, too.

No, it’s not a military project gone awry–this Automower is a robotic, solar-powered lawnmower that does all the cutting for you. It even includes an anti-theft alarm.

We couldn’t help but crack up at the site of Belgian artist Fabian Decleir’s Rapa Nui 2007 t-shirt. It humorously mixes surfer, band and skater cultures with the statues at Easter Island.

If sitting down tends to make you squirm, a Webble may alleviate at least part of that tension. It’s essentially a mobile footrest that allows your feet to fidget away while you work.

The Dark Knight‘s 1:6 scale Bat Pod is about a hundred types of awesome, with machine guns, a grappling hook and light-up headlights. Available at the end of the year.

Think of Gigabyte’s MID M528 as a mini-laptop: it has a 4GB SSD hard drive, 4.8″ touch panel LCD, webcam, full 3G and Wi-Fi. We like that it’s now available at almost half its preorder price.

From one highly-tuned precision instrument to the next, Dutch car maker Spyker has teamed up with watchmaker Chronoswiss to make the stylish, but insanely priced Pilot Watch.

After numerous delays (it was originally due for Fall 2006), Will Wright’s long-awaited Spore has finally gone gold. It should be hitting North America by 9/5 and Europe by 9/7.

Wingard Importer has been pushing its V2 Vodka as a combination cocktail and energy drink. The secret is an infusion of taurine and caffeine; the vodka itself is distilled five times.

GAMA-Goon is the latest to join GAMA-GO’s stable of critters; it’s actually an eight-year old design. 99 will be made in chrome, with one made out of gold. They come in the retro tin seen above.

The Extreme Gravity Car by Volvo takes soap-box derby racing to, well, extremes. For one, they flip the rider on their stomach and face them forward; the racer can hit up to 35 mph.
