Diamonds are forever or in this case 4ever. When attached to the iPhone 4, maybe they will even help with the reception. Once again you have Stuart Hughes to thank for this over the top luxury version of he iPhone.

The iPhone 4 Diamond Edition. It has diamonds, a bejweled Apple logo and it’s a white iPhone 4 (32GB). It’s also unlocked. Do you have the extra $20,000 for this light-catcher?

Sony is helping to heat up the e-book reader price wars. It has now dropped the prices on its three current models. The Pocket Edition was $169 and is now $149, while the Touch Edition drops from $199 to $169, and the 3G Daily Edition is now $299 from $349.

It should be noted that this still leaves Sony a bit behind the competition: the Pocket Edition lacks WiFi unlike the similarly-priced Nook and the Daily Edition will be hard to sell even at $299.

Your coffee mug is sacred. Yet people still mess with it. Wouldn’ it be great if you could leave a message on it? Something like “Leave this mug alone or else” or maybe a warning like “this coffee sucks”.

Well, with this coffee mug you can say whatever needs to be said. All you need is chalk. Only $8.95. Maybe serve a pretty woman in the office some coffee and write a little poem. Or anonymously tell your boss what you think.

Samsung has introduced a trio of new notebooks in the Q-series, including the 13.3-inch Q330, 14-inch Q430 and 15.6-inch Q530. All have 720p displays. The flagship Q530 measures just over an inch thick, and packs in a 2.26GHz Intel Core i3, though a Core i5 is optional, and NVIDIA’s 1GB GeForce GT 330M is installed.

The same chipset is available as an option on the smaller Q430, which has a 512MB GeForce 310M as standard. It shares the same Core i3 chip and 4GB of RAM as the Q530, but with a smaller, 320GB hard drive.

People like their consoles like they like their supermodels, thin and puking. Well, thin anyway. With two nice round buttons in front. But nevermind that. The newly launched Xbox 360 has sold 15,000 units in Japan in the first four days. The strong sales were in addition to 2,370 of the previous generation version of the games console. The week before the release saw only 2,060 Xbox units of any kind moved.

Sales were helped by the launch of Capcom’s top-selling game, Monster Hunter Frontier Online. In Japan the new slim console costs $339 while the previous Elite version dropped to $282.

You are always turning up the volume anyway, might as well make a statement about it. The Volume Knob Earphones look awesomely retro, like old school volume knobs.

These ear buds come with two sets of tips, but they do not seem to feature any working volume controls. We just think they look awesome. Too bad they can’t mute out the wife or kids. Best of all, they will only cost you $15. That’s a lot of style for $15.

I don’t get the whole Paul Frank thing myself, but apparently many of you like to buy things with a monkey on them. Paul Frank has dabbled in the iPod/iPhone case market and even headphones, but now there is an iPod Dock.

It’s in the shape of Julius of course and is called the Julius Dance Machine. In between the monkey’s hands is the iPod dock in a cradle and according the the specs it will work with all generations of iPod’s. Not sure about iPhones. He will give you about 6 hours on single charge.

The Japanese put everything in vending machines. I’m surprised they don’t have prostitutes in them, where you can pay and the door opens. Now they even have fresh bananas thanks to Dole’s new machines which are installed in an underground connection at the Shibuya subway station.

Bananas are a hot commodity too. The vending machine was sold out on its first day. A single banana is about $1.50 (130 yen) and a bunch of five or six is almost $4.50. (390 yen) I guess people are willing to pay for a healthier snack.

You may have to wait until this Fall, but Logitech’s Google TV box has been showing itself off to the FCC. Not much new to report on this one, but if you hit the link you can get a look at the device’s guts.

As reported previously, Google TV will bring regular TV and web video to your TV, as well as Android apps. Now that the FCC has spied this device, all we have to do is wait.

Here’s a minimalist approach to a stand for your iPhone, iPod or other pocket media player. The Sniper Stand is simply a contoured plastic disk with criss-cross slots that you attach to the back of your device. Then You just insert a credit card to complete the stand.

Simple solution. Until you get so used to using your credit card in this way that you leave it behind. That would suck. The first batch of stands are in production and will be finished in a black gloss. The stand comes with a Scotch 3M VHB adhesive pad that’s super strong yet easily removable.

Problems with the iPhone 4 reception? Need a hand? You got it. The iHand is designed to easily let you receive and make calls on your iPhone 4 without experiencing any signal drop whatsoever.

Let Steve tell you that you are holding it wrong now. iHand is precision-carved from a single piece of European beechwood so it’s light, handy and you can grip iHand any way you like. Problem solved.

Flash drives come in huge capacities these days, so you always have to wonder when a company makes drives with limited amounts of storage space. But if your drive is Voltron, who cares how much it holds?

This Voltron Nekobot Flash Drive holds just a scant 2GB and only detaches at the waist. The arms and legs do not detach unfortunately. This limits geek play time, but it’s still cool to have on your desk.

Two Android phones from LG have been announced, the Optimus One, and Optimus Chic. LG says that “Optimus” means “best” in Latin, but it sounds like a Transformer to us.

No specs have been confirmed for the Optimus One or Optimus Chic, but we can tell you that both will be running Android 2.2 Froyo when they arrive. A third Optimus phone, the Optimus Z, has shown up on LG’s corporate Flickr account, with LG’s Korean corporate name “CYON” branded on it as well.

When it comes to smartphones most of us want them to be large enough that we can get a big screen for viewing content. But small enough that they are lightweight and fit easily in a pocket. This new concept phone called the Gravity Phone is a bit strange.

It looks good, but the device appears to be a bit bulky. The designer says it would have a 1080p resolution HD screen and HDMI output. Those would be nice features.

All most of us know about nuclear explosions today comes from the 60′s and movies. Back during the cold war, kids in school had bomb drills, which were weird considering the radiation could make it under your desk.

A new photo and story has surfaced that occurred back in 1962. The US strapped a hydrogen bomb to a rocket and fired it 250 miles above the Pacific Ocean. The bomb used was 1000 times more powerful than the one that leveled Hiroshima.
