Looking for that perfect gift? Want to have something really special for Christmas?

Darth Vader Toaster

If there's something every Sith Lord knows how to do it's make a balanced breakfast. While the Jedi have to live off of Jawa juice and fried nerfsteak, the Dark Lord of the Sith prefers to have a reminder of his fiery Mustafar defeat at his breakfast table. Every morning he burns that moment into a slice of bread with the Darth Vader Toaster. This black, ominous kitchen appliance easily leaves the mark of Vader's helmet in every yummy piece of toast. Slather some Bantha butter on top, or make two pieces for an extra-Sithy BLT. Force power not required to operate toaster.

The Must Have Game This Holiday Season!

This has been a wet dream for so many Wii and Star Wars fans and now the wait is almost over! November 14th, Star Wars The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels is released globally. And it looks very promising indeed.

 

The goal of the game is bringing the epic laserfights from the movie and the tv show to your living room and because lucasarts is doing this with the Wii remote, controls are very intuitive. And extremely cool, you can turn your Wii remote into a real glowing lightsaber with the Thrustmaster Glow Saber Duo Pack!!

 

“You really feel like you’re having a lightsaber in your hand.”

It must have cost heaps and it’s quite debatable if the use on election night was warrented, but CNN made television history going live with a hologram reporter in Chicago.

 

Jessica Yellin took place at the center of a circle consisting of 35 high definition cameras catching her every move… moments later she was beamed live in 3D at the CNN studios in New York.

 

Debatable?

Cool?! Absolutely, but what’s the point of having a reporter at the scene (in this case, Obama’s campaign headquarters) and then filtering the whole local scene out just to get that reporter back in the studio?

 

Cool technology… but probably a bit misused in this case. Though it’s certainly applaudable that CNN experiments with cutting edge technologies like these.

 

Watch the hologram for yourself right here!

 

> Have your say! What do you think of CNN’s election coverage and its hologram?
