As my buddy Ryan put it, the new CXT truck is “not just Muppets silly, it’s like ‘I can’t believe he killed the whole human race,'” kind of silly. The new 21.5-foot truck weighs seven tons and gets about 6 to 10 miles to the gallon. It’s essentially a semi-truck scaled back to be a … Continued

Brighthand is reporting that the Axim X50 – the first VGA Pocket PC from Dell, at least in its top-end model – is being pushed back to November, at least if the request for an extension with the FCC is any indictor (it is). Now that the FCC will keep information silent on their web … Continued

Sharp has announced a pair of kitchen composters, the NP-40CX-S and the NP-20CX-S, both of which use a special microbe blend to reduce the volume of organic waste by up to 92% in just 24 hours. There’s not much difference between the two units beyond capacity (and wheels, I guess), and Sharp claims that the … Continued

Hey, want a free DiscHub? The boys who make the desktop storage caddy are giving away 20 free to Gizmodo readers. I’ll be hiding codes inside of posts over the next day or two, and all you have to do is be the first to enter it into their form and you’ll get a free … Continued

Reader Greg Gaub is a Lazer Tag aficionado – who knew, right? The new system sounds cooler than I expected, and he was even kind enough to offer a bunch of community links and project pages after his great review. Remember Lazer Tag, from Worlds of Wonder back in the 80’s? Well, the inventors of … Continued

I think I misjudged when I saw the product release about the new Sony VAIO T Series laptops, because I didn’t figure people would be that excited about them, but boy was I wrong, so let me fix that oversight. The best thing about the new Centrino sub-notebooks that I can see is that the … Continued

Leander from Cult of Mac/Wired has a story about a new Silicon Valley startup – wow, been a while since I’ve typed that – that is claiming to have developed a sort of super-emulator that will allow code written for one platform to work seamless on a variety of other platforms. One of Transitive’s (the … Continued

Opera has developed a new tech for their webbrowser they’re calling “TVR,” an optimized output designed to render web pages more legible on TVs and other lower resolution devices. And while that sounds really useful, in the press release they mention their intentions to promote the technology to vendors of set-top technology. That’s too bad … Continued

Fujitsu has been showing off its new robot with a computer display embedded in its chest, designed to act as a sort of mobile kiosk for museums, shopping malls, and office buildings (or wherever you need a friendly robot, I’m sure). And it runs Windows XP Embedded, so if you want to install your favorite … Continued

Sony has a new one of those desktop VAIOs designed to replace a TV, this time called the VAIO M. It’s not that spectacular, features-wise, with the notable stand-out of a “Multidrive” super-burner that can handle not only DL (dual-layer) DVDs but DVD-RAM as well (if you don’t know what that is, you probably don’t … Continued

So it’s my fault, for sure, but I just ordered the Panasonic SC-HT820V Home Theater System, got it all unpacked, setup, and mounted, and was pretty happy with it – the onscreen controls are great, and it’s nice having everything pre-balanced and tuned in a single, turn-key system. There are definitely better options, but for … Continued

Oh hey, sister site Defamer (the one with lots of pictures of girls’ boobs, but with clothes on) has launched one of those special advertising section blog things, except this time it’s cool (to me), because it’s promoting John Waters’ new movie “A Dirty Shame.” What does that have to do with gadgets? You know, … Continued

Series 60 users who are looking for a replacement web browser should probably give NetFront a shot, especially now since the creator Access Systems is giving away a free activation key if you leave them a comment with your thoughts on their browser and how they can improve it. NetFront has some rough edges, but … Continued

I had to share Fun Furde’s incredulous attitude about this AK Rocker chair. Does anyone really need to use XtreMe Rocking Chairz in the “sand, snow or dirt?” It looks comfortable enough, I guess, but it would be sort of embarrassing to have one of these sitting around in your nice living room. They’re cheap … Continued

Our buddy Mark from Kuwait just sent us this little bit, which I thought was interesting. hey joel, there is a new trend in kuwait. since the majority of people have bluetooth phones, if u sit at a food court or at a starbucks in a mall people will start sending you files. its like … Continued

Every day, I take bullets for you people. Granted, they’re not real bullets – they’re usually made of email – but I take them anyway. I’ve decided, though, that I’ve pretty much had enough, and I’m going to start passing them on to you guys. I think it was the guy who compared me to … Continued

Portagame is reporting that the new version of the GBA Movie Player (not the one from Nintendo, but a third-party one) is now not only thinner, but also allows you to play emulated games from ROMs, be they legal homebrews or less-than-legal warez copies. It’s only $25 at Lik-Sang, and I almost ordered one to … Continued

This is what I saw when I walked out my door into my hallway this morning. See what happens when you give Danish artists computers? They get all arty with them. I love my building. Information about the show at Brooklyn’s Goliath Visual Space, of which this video feedback installation by Thomas Seest is just … Continued

We don’t normally cover cars here on Gizmodo – we love them, but most of them are just more of the same – but when John Hallenborg offered to give us a review of the new 2005 Chevrolet Corvette (the C6), with a special focus on the gadgety interior, well… how could we resist? Took … Continued
