Gadgets with FACES #191: Thodio A-Box bulletproof speakers

Not only a Gadget with a FACE, but also a rare entrant in the category of Gadgets You Could Conceivably Fuck in the MOUTH.

thodio-a-box

Sorry about the swear word in paragraph one. We’re assuming that only the long-term unemployed are reading this any more, so there’s no point maintaining any sort of pretence or aura of dignity.

thodio-a-box-evil-twin

And here’s its evil twin. Photos stolen from the site we can’t but always refer to as Gizmondo.

Gadgets with FACES #190: The office hole punch

Don’t be alarmed. At first there appears to be NO FACE here, but that’s because this is an extremely specialist observation performed from a very acute angle.

holepunch-side

“Here’s something for your “Gadgets with Faces” section of the Extra-Last website: the office hole punch. Enjoy!” – Joey.

holepunch-top

Oh yes, there IS a face. We can only wonder how bored you have to be to examine a hole punch from this particular angle. It must all suddenly pop into view, like the Channel 4 logo does on the pre-show idents.

Andy’s miscellaneous facial finds

Andy has found a better set of kitchen scales with a face.

Can someone with access to a time machine travel back in time to 1984 and tell the young us to pay more attention to maths and physics in school, to avert a desperate future life where we spend all day fielding emails about kitchen equipment with what looks like faces on them? Thanks.

“Those kitchen scales with a face the other day were a bit rubbish. Have a PROPER kitchen thing with a face – a pressure cooker lid.”

andy-finds-faces-3

“It has a face on both sides. I had to angle the one photo so you cant see my mug in the reflection.”

“Also, I was playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2, and saw an advert for ’something’.”

andy-finds-faces-1

“As a bonus – have a picture of a car dashboard that looks a bit like Darth Vader, and has many faces depending on how you look at it. Cant remember if I sent you this one before. Should be plenty enough to keep the site running for one more painful day. I’ve given you the original files off my camera because i know you like reading EXIF data” – Andy

EXIF UNKNOWN
The EXIF data is coming up as blank for us. But given that the photos came out at a resolution of 800 x 600, we suspect the involvement of Sony Ericsson.

Gadgets with FACES #189: Typhoon kitchen scales

Haven’t got around to installing the EXIF data tool on the laptop just yet, so we can’t confirm which camera “Darren” used to take this photo. But, as he was at a “party” on a Saturday night, it was probably an iPhone.

“I was at a party last night and I noticed this wee beauty sitting in the corner. I had to wait till morning to get the shot. He looks like he can’t wait to weigh my peaches” – Darren.

Gadgets with FACES #188: A man’s razor

Looks to be a prestige ‘King of Shaves’ model, the razor for men who are trying to impress the checkout lady with how much money they spend on personal grooming, hinting at the fact that they’re obviously also neat and tidy “down below” should they be interested in checking it out and seeing if the wrinkles on it scan through the barcode machine, say, after work on Thursday?

But it’s not a gadget and it’s strangely unsettling to see another man’s towel. 3/10.

“While shaving a picture of a kitten into my MANLY STUBBLE, I
was shocked to discover another face, dangerously close to my own” – Snortacus.

Gadgets with FACES #187: An unknown thing

Sent in by a “Ben” who didn’t even bother with any sort of accompanying explanation, apology, excuse or insult. It’s this sort of apathy that hurts the most.

TS319 AV2

The image is called “TS319_AV2″ which leads us to suspect it’s a redesigned 9 Walt Nail Gel UV Lamp (TS319). Although that’s is only our finest bit of Google journalism at work, so we may be wrong there.

Gadgets with FACES #185 & #186 and Static non-powered objects with FACES #39: Aaron’s fantastic collection

A stunning FIVE separate real-world face spottings from reader “Aaron” who has awkwardly (for us) combined GADGET and NON-POWERED face imagery into one single huge email.

Fortunately, Aaron’s attention detail and sharp eye-for-a-face made compiling this update a pleasure, even though some of the images were in zip files and some weren’t and they were all different shapes and sizes. He also didn’t just nick all these photos off some other face blog and send them in expecting us to be all like “Wow, thanks”.

“Here are several things with faces I’ve found. First there’s a handle on the side of a dehumidifier. There’s an identical face/handle on the other side.”

“Next there’s a mysterious box labeled ‘TTC DRY DROP’ that I walk past every morning on the way to the bus station. Some sort of fire hydrant? I’ve included a behind photograph as well.”

“Then there’s this APC power supply/battery, a heater, and a metal plate that covers one of those things that prevents bathtub overflow. I admit that these three are not very good” – Aaron.

Gadgets with FACES #184: “The bit of plastic you rip off an ink cartridge”

Got the recycling logo tattooed on his forehead in prison. He’ll have to cover that up with a woolly hat when he’s allowed out on parole.

“It’s the bit of plastic you rip off an ink cartridge before inserting it into your printer. Have included two so you can use it for a caption competition (?)” – M.

Gadgets with FACES #183: The DJ Hero controller

Not too convinced about these. It appears the submitter is reading a bit too much into screw holes and has quite possibly gone insane, but we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt as he provided three separate photographs.

The EXIF data just says “SAMSUNG” so don’t get your hopes up.

DJ-hero-face3

“After picking up DJ Hero at the weekend I noticed apart from it being lots of fun it features SEVERAL faces. Now having one or two faces is quite an accomplishment but I counted at least 3 (technically more if you turn the deck the other way round) that I thought it deserved a mention.”

DJ-hero-Face2

“All images attached (must say the quality is awful – couple an out of date camera phone with poor lighting and you get these, sorry).”

DJ-hero-face1

“My personal favourite is the smiley face that greets me when you open the control panel up (using the Start and Back buttons as eyes and the recess as a mouth). Enjoy” – Lee.

Gadgets with FACES #182: The Apple remote

This post is also to be tagged THINGS APPLE HAS PRETENDED IT INVENTED.

“You have to turn it around first. The remote is buried in their store, you can probably find it at this link” – SuitCase.
