This stretch limo Batmobile is what Batman and Robin ride around in on their off hours. Maybe Bruce wants to take Robin out for some Ice cream or to the opera. Nothing wrong with a rich dude taking his child ward out on the town in a stretch limo is there? I mean sure, you could take a lady friend, but…We’ll you and boy wonder have an odd relationship.

Maybe they have the Joker in the trunk. Who knows. What I do know is that Bruce Wayne sure knows how to travel in style while giving away his secret identity.

Hacking a Wiimote is nothing new, but William Luxemburg from the Delft University of Technology is using the Wiimote and an LED light as a water-level sensor, measuring evaporation. The image tells the story. Just a tub of water with a Wiimote pointing at a plastic boat.

It’s simple and cost-effective and yields the same, or better results than pressure sensors that cost $500 or more. He re-programmed the Wiimote’s output and when it was connected wirelessly to a laptop he was able to receive real-time information on what the water level was doing in the tub.

CherryPal’s latest netbook is named Africa and will cost you just $99. Some specs include a 7-inch display, 400MHz processor, 256MB memory, 2GB flash storage, and either Linux or Windows CE.

The company claims that you’ll get about four hours use on the included Lithium battery. The company has also introduced its online store so you won’t have to get your CherryPal PC elsewhere. If you are looking for a small and slow budget PC, here ya go.

Sure, with 20,000 of anything it doesn’t mean they are all quality, but it’s a notable milestone. The Android Market has now topped 20,000 apps in just over a year. Just FYI, Apple’s App Store had over 50,000 apps one year in.

What’s interesting here is the percentage of free and paid apps in the Market. According to AndroLib, 62.2% of the apps available are completely free, while 37.8% are paid apps. Compare that to the App Store, which now has over 100,000 individual apps and by some counts, 77% are paid applications, though only 30% of total App Store downloads are for paid apps. What it means is anyone’s guess, but markets for apps are very healthy indeed.

Has anyone noticed the somewhat hidden countdown timer on Google’s main page? You don’t see it until you hit the “I’m feeling lucky” button without anything to search for. Then it mysteriously shows up.

In US time, the timer ends at the New Year, but obviously that isn’t it. What else is going on with Google that they might want to announce? The launch of the Google Nexus One perhaps? That’s what our money is on.

Nintendo has filed Trademark for the name Zii. Huge mistake for such a large company since Creative already owns it. Could be they want to call the next Wii, the Zii, but Creative might disagree.

The trademark recently popped up on the Japanese trademark database. The filing covers video games and electronic devices, but contains little information. Our guess is that it might be the HD Wii that we’ve heard rumors about. Hopefully more info will come soon.

It’s understandable to pay attention to your own safety when traveling abroad, but who knew that you had to worry about your laptop? Here’s the story. A young American woman was traveling to Jerusalem when gung-ho border security officers ask her a bunch of questions. They must not have liked the answers, so they went all pew pew pew and shot up her MacBook.

After that she was allowed entry into the country with her bullet-riddled MacBook. The woman has been promised compensation. What do you think? Was he just a PC guy?

Makers of mouse killing traps are all about the power. For one thing it insures that the mouse dies fast, so it’s more humane. Jake Easton’s “Better Mousetrap“, powered by compressed air and triggered by motion sensors, is much like any typical trap, just “a lot more fun to watch”.

The trap weighs 5.5 lbs in all, thanks to its 0.25-inch thick hand-crafted aluminum case, various solenoids, valves and electronics. The deadliest part if you are a mouse is the 60psi of pressure. At just 40psi, the trap snaps shut with 102lbs of strike force.

Check out this XBox Millennium Falcon mod that looks like an Imperial version of the ship. You can make one too thanks to the complete instructions provided. It’s not an easy mod though. You’ll need to know how to grind with a dremel and solder and do some wiring.

But in the end you’ll get an XBox inside of a classic Kenner 1979 Millennium Falcon toy and all of that hard work will have payed off. Though I’m not sure there will be room for Han and Chewie any longer.

Medical enthusiasts will dig this flash drive because it is in the form of a tiny USB surgeon. On the other hand if you hate surgeons, you also will love this. Because you can decapitate him.

After a little pretend surgery, you can attach the head once again and hope the little guy has health insurance. If you buy a few of these guys, you’ll be re-enacting scenes from MASH and Grey’s Anatomy in no time. It’s a drive and an action figure.

This is a sweet looking universal remote control. You are looking at Silver PAC’s new evolution 5500 universal remote control with Windows SideShow technology. You’ll see more of it at CES 2010.

Some features include a 4.3-inch touch-color LCD display with a resolution of 480 x 272, ARM9 processor, a 1GB flash, 256MB SDRAM, a built-in speaker, microphone, WiFi, and Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R2. It’s more computer than remote and we like it that way.

You may think that Star Wars is the king of Merchandising, but Disney never sleeps either. Not when there are cheap products that can have Mickey and Minnie mouse plastered all over them, along with the typical mouse “ears”.

Now Mickey Mouse fans in Japan have something new to spend their money on. This ultra-small digital photo frame. It comes with a 1.5 inch LCD and 2 Megabytes of memory which will store 100 images. You can also use it as a keychain if you like.

This looks more like some device that would give Geordi LaForge light therapy than a camera. It was developed at the Nagoya Institute of Technology has been certified by Guinness World Records as sporting the most lenses in the world. 158 lenses that is.

It was built over six months, to capture images of a swaying flame from as many angles as possible. The lenses are in four rows on the body of the device, which is 7.2cm high and 47cm in diameter. Each lens costs $2.10.

Take a look at this keyboard. Do you think that this would be better for your hands than the standard type? To me it looks downright painful to use. But maybe it just looks that way. Maybe it will be ultra comfortable. Priced at $300, you and I will never know.

That’s right, $300. That’s a lot of money to pay for no guarantee that it will be a good keyboard. If any of you have a spare $300 to gamble on this thing, let us know how badly your hands are cramping up while you write us.

Merry Christmas to the international community. The Kindle app for iPhone has launched internationally in over 60 countries. It’s very good news, tinged with some bad. The bad news? It will be localized in English.

You won’t need to find a workaround anymore. Maybe now Amazon can concentrate on adding some non-English-language books to the Kindle store. You know, for those international users.
