I loves me some pizza, be it frozen, delivered from a local shop or handmade by yours truly. I generally only turn to the frozen stuff late at night when everyone is closed and I’m too lazy to make one up myself. Of course if I had one of these Porta-Pizza ovens I could also avoid the nasty gas station pizza by cooking up a frozen pie in my car.

As I said before, I love pizza. However, I think this contraption takes things just a bit far. I can think of very few circumstances that this thing would actually be useful to the average consumer. Even then it just seems dangerous, messy and stupid. Sure, a pizza shop might try cooking pies on the way to the customer’s doorstep, but even that doesn’t sound too smart. If you absolutely must be able to make a pizza on the road, you can pick one of these up for $36.

We were wondering (seriously, it has been on our conscience at night) which carrier would be the first to go completely DRM-free in respect to its music catalog, and now Vodafone has stepped in to claim said throne. This week, the operator has inked deals with Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and EMI Music to bring tunes to handsets and PCs sans any nasty DRM, and for those who already downloaded DRM-laced files in the past, they’ll be able to upgrade to DRM-free without a charge so long as they do it soon. And to think — something like this would’ve been stopped cold at the drawing board by record label execs just a few years back. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right?

Now this is more like it. Our favorite dude in the world (AKA the FedEx guy) just dropped this slab of nasty Apple magic on our doorstep. Not only is this system kitted out with a 256GB SSD, 8GB of RAM, and a 2.93GHz CPU, but the screen is — yes — anti-glare. We’re actually kind of stoked to put this one through its paces and see just exactly what it feels like (since we’ve already seen the other two new unibody models). And of course, we’re very eager to know just how robust that non-removable battery really is. So we’ll be covering the 17-incher a little more in-depth in the coming days, but for now, get a load of the unboxing.

Despite some nasty financial losses and a rumored smackdown of a PSP phone proposal, the Sony Ericsson joint venture is apparently as strong as ever. That’s what Senior Marketing Manager Richard Dorman is saying, denying any talks of a split. He also noted that both companies had been losing money in their respective handset division prior to the assimilation, and the partnership is “full steam ahead.” That’s great, now how about showing us some more Hikaru, hm?

One thing that’s always troubled me about taking a bath is that any way you slice it, you’re actually just sitting in your own filth. You can make yourself feel better about it by adding in some bubbles, but you’re really just covering up the discolored water. The obvious solution is to take a shower before getting in the tub. Of course that’s redundant and just plain silly, so someone has created a better solution.

This funny-looking yellow ball is called the Float Clear Bath Ball. It uses magical powers to attract dirt, oil and residue which it absorbs. I’m honestly not sure just how effective it is, but at least it’s easy to clean. Just toss it in the washing machine, or rinse it out before your next bath. $45 seems a bit pricey, if it actually works well, then it might be worth it. However, there’s no telling how effective it will be.

There’s always been something that bothered me about toothbrushes. You use them to clean your teeth, but how often do you actually clean the toothbrush itself? Sure, you rinse it under the water, but just how good is that? Well if you’re worried about the germs that are leftover on those bristles, you can ease your mind with the VioLight Zapi.

This toothbrush sanitizer, uses powerful UV rays to kill off any germs that may be lurking around. When you’re done brushing your teeth, just set your toothbrush in the little egg-shaped device and it will clean it in minutes. It comes in 4 different colors and will run you just $30.
