By far, this has got to be the coolest clock in the world.

Remember those 3D Pin Art sculptures you or your children used to play with? You know, the rectangular, black-framed toy with metal pins, and if you pushed on those metal pins with your hand, face, or another object, they would create impressions?

Well, Daka Design's Pin Clock follows the same idea. The pins actually move to display the hours and minutes. The Pin Clock is 3.8-inches high, weighs 3 pounds, and the face is made up of 3,000 pins. But, you'll want to keep it away from your bedroom, as the pins make a clicking sound when moving in and out to change the digits. Still, it's a great masterpiece for the living room or den.

See how the Pin Clock works in Daka Design's video presentation.

These gummy bears look yummy, don't they? I wouldn't eat them though, because they're actually LED lights.

Designed by Kevin Champeny of the Jellio team, GummiLights are 7-inch high rubbery lights with "tiny LEDs in their butts," according to the product Web site. The GummiLights are battery-operated and can last for approximately 20 hours. Available in five delightful colors: red, orange, white, green, and yellow.

While the GummiLights won't be available for purchase until April 15th, you can preorder them now for $125 each (and $8 shipping). Sure, they're not as cheap as a 5-lb bag of gummys, but if you can't get enough of these cute, candy bears, your bedroom will look dull without them.

ExtremeTech's Loyd Case and Jason Cross have made their way to San Jose and are reporting on the Game Developers Conference 2006, which started on March 20 and ends on the 24th. Take a look at their Day One report, which details the disappointing Sony keynote (featuring lackluster PS3 demos), and an impressive session with Ageia, maker of the PhysX software physics engine and hardware physics card (featuring really cool demos).

The guys also posted a slideshow. And yes, it includes shots of booth babes, though not all of them are quite what you might expect!

The folks at I4U pointed me to their recent review of the Yamaha Sound Projector YSP-1000. Available in black or silver, what makes the YSP-1000 a great home theater solution in their eyes is the fact that it rids of wire clutter and uses the surrounding walls of a room to reflect sound. And with its 42 digital amplifiers to power 42 sound drivers, watching Mission Impossible will be a whole new experience.

The YSP-1000 supports Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS Neo:6. It also offers 5 Beam modes, TruBass, 7 CINEMA DSP programs, and is perfect for 42-inch screen TVs. 

The YSP-1000 can be wall-mounted or placed on a shelf or rack, but I4U decided to keep it tucked under the TV. To test its performance, they popped in one of the Matrix DVDs. "I was totally blown away by the surround sound effect. The sound is crystal clear and I can experience the spatial located sounds. At first its kind of magic as I just look at the box in front of me. But the sound is coming from the side. Did I mention I am sitting in front of a 106-inch screen? Life is good." Yeah, life sure is good if you've got a TV THAT big!!

I4U's Verdict: The YSP-100 produces great sound quality. Installation is as easy as 1-2-3. Highly Recommended.

Buy it for 750 Euros at TechnikDirekt or Amazon.com for $1,499. Read the rest of I4U's review here.
