One of our readers just sent in a followup video to the world’s smallest TV post from last week. This time “pekingdbz” attempts to play Super Mario Bros. on a 1.5-inch television. Video after the jump.
What do you get when you combine a Robosapien V.2 with a teddy bear? RoboTed — created by Nocturnal of the Evosapien team. Video after the jump. Here’s what Louis Ramirez of Gizmodo has to say:
As cool as this hack is, there’s something creepy about seeing someone gut a teddy bear and then stuff its lifeless skin with the cold body of a Robosapien

The DOLMETTE is powered “24 DOLMAR chainsaw engines, fed into to a 5-speed Harley-Davidson transmission by a series of twelve toothed belts.” Videos after the jump.
For use in the Dolmette the engines were tuned and tweaked to deliver 5.2 kW of power (7.1 PS) at 10,000 rpm. Maximum torque delivery is 5.5 Nm at 7,750 rpm. When all 24 are combined, the result is a 24-cylinder power plant with a total displacement of 1.9 litres, a power output of 125 kW (170 PS) and 130 Nm of torque at the centrifugal clutches
Finally, Microsoft brings us their own “Get a Mac” spoof, which basically pits “a Zune-toting PC with an iPod-carrying Mac, and apparently screened the ad at a recent company meeting.” Video after the jump.
The sticking point is how “difficult” it is to get music onto the iPod versus how “simple” it is on the Zune. Not that we think the iPod is a paragon of usability, but we can’t not bring up the fact that we’d love to see Microsoft live up to its claim and really make getting music as easy as pushing a single button

File this under: ” Strange Robots” Biloid is a custom-built puppy bot that incorporates a Nokia 770 tablet, which allows you to “control its movements by using another tablet — it’ll even update its facial expressions to reflect whatever it’s doing at that moment.” Video after the jump.
No word on if you can launch Google Talk while it’s in dog mode or if you’d just be too saddened by those digital puppy eyes to carry on a decent conversation

This all-in-one breakfast machine sports a toaster, coffee maker, and stove for maximum convenience.
Incorporating a toaster, a coffee maker, and a hotplate, it delivers a full breakfast without the hassle of having a separate toaster, coffee maker, and hotplate. As long as all you want are eggs, toast, and coffee, it’s the only appliance you’ll ever need. If only it could print messages on the toast as well

Our editors have compiled a list of seven iPod accessories you can’t buy, or at least anytime soon. If we happened to miss any, please leave us a comment. “Continue reading” for the entire list.
Put simpy, Ruf-Cinema is a futuristic-looking bed that comes equipped with a built-in projector, display, and shelves for all your multimedia goodies — TiVO, DVD player, etc. More information here. Two caveats:
The projector sits on shelf in the middle of the headboard, which splits the bed up and makes it so you can not sit in the middle to watch movies. Furthermore, having the projector there would put a loud, whirring fan right next to your head. Also, there are no built-in speakers, so you’ll still need to go set that up
A reader just sent in a video clip of what could possibly be the strangest USB drive we’ve ever come across — called the “Humping Dog”. Video after the jump. (Thanks, David P)
