The white iPhone is always making drama. We have followed it’s twisted and sorted saga for awhile now and we thought it would stop now that the device is available. But no. The latest drama surrounding the white iPhone 4 is in regards to it’s thickness.

Consumer Reports is now disputing claims that the white iPhone 4 is thicker than its black counterpart. Using calipers, they claimed both color iPhones were about 0.37 inches. It went so far as to try three cases and said that all three fit just fine.

iWallet is a secure biometric wallet that should keep your cash and cards safe from foreign hands. The device opens with your fingerprint, and alerts you when it loses Bluetooth contact with your cellphone.

Sounds great, but what is the cost? Will you have anything left to keep safe once you buy it? It’s available in a variety of colors, including a fiber glass model for $400 or a lightweight carbon fiber case for $600.

Looks like the first next-gen iPhone cases are starting to surface. Hardmac received the image above from one of its contacts in China, the model name reveals the manufacturer to be Shenzhen Soonleader Electronic Co.

It has all the right curves, including a larger opening for a flash and the spaces for the new side buttons can be seen. This might just be the manufacturer trying to get a jump start, or it could be something more official.

TecoArt’s hard drive clocks are all kinds of awesome. They help our environment by recycling old tech and they are stylish modern art pieces in their own right. They may even open a portal that will allow you to time travel.

Think about it. These TecoArt hard drive clocks combine both time AND space. The hard drive part may even be bigger inside than outside for all we know, like Doctor Who’s Tardis. If that’s the case, then prepare for an adventure, because it’s time to announce the winner.

You might remember that back in October Acer had to recall some Aspire laptops. Well, now the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued recalls on Acer’s AS3410, AS3410T, AS3810T, AS3810TG, AS3810TZ, and AS3810TZG laptops.

Those are all 13.3″ models. They are being recalled due to bad internal wiring of the microphone. Apparently three incidents of short circuiting have been reported so far, which causes the laptop’s plastic cases to melt. Hopefully not while on your lap.

Like Pac-Man, you just can’t have enough Space Invaders in your life. That includes the shower too. Now you can get clean and go pew pew pew as you battle the alien menace.

Of course it won’t actually move like in the arcade. You’ll have to use your imagination. Unless you’re the type to pee in the shower, in which case, fire away. Hope you can hit the UFO on top.

Normally shrinking jugs requires reduction surgery, but that’s not the case here. This concept jug is designed to maximize your milks shelf life. Lets face it, as soon as you open a gallon of milk, it starts the process of spoiling. So how do you combat spoilage?

By reducing the air in the container. It’s the air that is milk’s enemy. It encourages bacteria and such that make it go bad. This shrinking jug is called “Fresh,” and it will keep the amount of air in contact with the milk at a minimum, because the container collapses as the milk goes down.

Forget the Swine flu. The thing that’s becoming a real epidemic is buying stones in place of things like a Nintendo DS and in this case a MacBook Pro.

In this case, a buyer named Ryan bought a Macbook Pro and when he got home he opened the box and found a paving stone packed with bubble wrap, instead of a Macbook Pro. He returned to the store and the manager, “Keith”, was not very helpful. He kept falling back on the line “Apple seals the boxes, not us. Take it up with Apple.”

Jodi Wykle just wanted to get her son a new Nintendo DS for his birthday. Sadly, what he got was a box of rocks. The story goes that the kid opened up his gift only to find bunch of stones and some rolled up Chinese newspaper in place of the popular handheld.

Doesn’t that just suck. Maybe the kid had it coming and it’s the work of Santa, who is sadly a few months behind…Or ahead of schedule. Whatever the case, the mom contacted the local Wal-Mart where she bought the box, but reportedly workers told her it wasn’t their problem and that she should contact Nintendo. Big surprise, Nintendo told her the same thing.

Doktor A, the creator this and other steampunk toys must be a mad genius living in the wrong time period. You can see his work currently on display at Gallery1988.

Just arrange cards in a semi circle in front of the device, place the planchard in the center of the cards, then set dial A to the spirit you wish to contact. Set dial B to the time since death if known. After that, you fully wind the patented clockwork mechanism. Next, you sit in a circle around the device and join hands. Once the spirit is contacted start asking questions using Morse code via the tap key mounted on top of the case.

Cue 2001 theme, but think “2011: The Year Wii Makes Contact”. 2011 is three years from now. So you would expect a new Wii by then right? HD would be nice on a new console. Word is that they are showing off a Wii-HD to developers and publishers, who’ve nicknamed it “Wii HD”. Reportedly, the followup will stick with all of the motion control goodness and amp up graphics, digital distribution, local storage and even be backwards compatible.

The only hard evidence was cited by What They Play, and that is the fact that Nintendo’s R&D spending has grown greatly since the Wii’s launch. I don’t see that that makes the case for a new Wii by itself, but it’s not a stretch as they are surely looking toward the future of the Wii. Many of us would like to see some improvements now rather then later. Like storage for instance.

HP had a few new laptops to show off today, including its smallest and lightest notebook to date with a built-in optical drive. Featured were two HP laptops – one a tablet – and a Compaq.

The HP EliteBook 2530p and HP EliteBook 2730p are expected to be available by early September, pricing around $1,500 and $1,670 starting, respectively. The HP Compaq 2230s is currently available for around $1,000. You can get full details after the jump via HP’s press release.

The Opto-Isolator is a black box prototype that seeks to incorporate robotic technology into artwork to make it more lively and interactive. The idea is that one day soon, there will be some artworks that can exchange eye contact with human beings. The eye mounted in the center of the black box responds to the gaze of whoever is staring at it and stares back.

It has a bunch of psycho-social eye-contact behaviors like looking into the viewer’s eyes directly, studying the viewer’s face, or looking away coyly when it’s been stared at for too long. It could be part of human or animal sculptures. Check out a video after the jump.

These Otter Box iPhone cases are a great way to protect your precious iPhone. They come in the Defender or Armor series. The Defender is a semi-rugged, slim fit case that gives you complete user interaction plus an attractive look and feel. This case is not fully waterproof, but it shields your iPhone from dust, dirt and most importantly drops. The Armor series is a more rugged case that safeguards the device from rain, dust, dirt, again most importantly falls.

We know you paid alot for the sexy device, so we want to see you protected. That’s why Otterbox has agreed to send 3 lucky readers their choice of either the Defender series or Armor cases.
