Now here’s a technological breakthrough that I can get excited about. Not only is this a remote controlled lawnmower (with tank treads!), but it doubles as a snow plow for those of you who get that kind of weather. I’d like to know if I could use it as a mini bulldozer. Either way, this R/C lawn care unit promises awesome convenience… and it might even make mowing the lawn fun! The not-so-fun part of this lawnmower is the price. For the $12,000 price, you could probably hire someone to do your chores for the rest of your life. Or you could buy a small car…. or many used cars. You know what I would do with $12k? Cup noodles, baby! Oh yeah- livin’ large.

Not only is this lawn mower all terrain, its remote controllable [coolest-gadgets]

$500 Network Cable? Count Me In!

Now, I like premium stuff as much as the next guy, but there is a point of diminishing returns.

Take this networking cable that costs $500 for 1.5 meters. It delivers slightly better performance than your run of the mill cables, with the slight advantage of it being shielded.

This raises the question- if you paid $500 for your network cable, how much did you pay for your modem and network card?

Seriously- I have a 50 foot run of cheap cat5 cable going to my pc. It gets stepped on once in a while, and I can still pull nearly two gigabytes per second of data through it.

Big ups to OhGizmo!, where the writers also think this product is laughably overpriced.
