On this week's Crave vodcast, we attempt to answer the pressing question of which is creepier: a Barbie cleavage cam or a machine-gun-wielding security cam. Either way, a camera's gonna getcha. Also on tap are a wide array of robotic walking aids, from an even lazier version of the roller shoe to sweet bionic legs for the disabled and the military. Plus, Jasmine thinks a killer drone is cute, Donald geeks out on a Super Mario star tattoo, and Eric is just...Eric.

What's not to crave about a pole-dancing bike? We can think of a few things, actually, but it's still pretty cool. Donald, Eric, and Jasmine also have a go at a supersimple phone for Luddites and get very serious about George Lucas's neck fat. Plus, Jasmine wants to take a ride in GUSS, Donald has a massive crush on a limbless robot, and Eric wants to take a date to Burger King. Finally, a little bit of ear candy for the MP3 Insider holdovers with some knobtastic speaker furniture.

We really wish that we could say that this was an April Fools' joke, but it's not. The Garia Soleil de Minuit golf cart is an actual product, heralded as "the most expensive golf cart ever made by a manufacturer."

The Soleil de Minuit is based on the already pricey Garia golf cart (MSRP $17,499), a luxury cart built in the same factory as the Porsche Cayman and Boxter using aluminum frame made by the same company that supplies Aston Martin and Jaguar. The Garia features an F1 inspired suspension and a drive train built by … Read more

I think every Amazon shopper has encountered this dilemma at one time or another: You have just under $25 worth of stuff in your cart--not quite enough to qualify for free Super Saver Shipping--so you go trolling the site for something to tip the scales.

And that's never easy, so eventually you just give up and buy something pricey. What the hell, right? At least you got free shipping!

Filler Item Finder helps you find items that bring your shopping-cart total to exactly $25, thus qualifying you for that oh-so-tantalizing Super Saver.

Suppose you're $1.17 shy of $… Read more

Ezimerchant Professional is designed to help build Web sites where users can sell their products. While it offers an impressive selection of tools, the program is complicated and frustrating to use and requires Web design skills.

The program's interface deceived us after our first impression. Although Ezimerchant has a professional-looking layout, we needed to revisit the Help file constantly. We were able to quickly build the skeleton of a Web site featuring a Home page, an About page, and more. While we were able to customize text, images, and the design template, we were disappointed by the results, which … Read more

Catfood Fortune Cookies provide users with a new piece of wisdom, like cracking open a brittle fortune cookie, each time they log on. With fool-proof use and surprising results, users looking for a little illumination will love this simple program.

This program's interface could not be much easier. Once loaded, Fortune Cookie does all the work. Since there is nothing that can be adjusted or changed about this download, users can sit back and enjoy. There is a slim Help file, but it certainly is not necessary reading for anyone simply wanting a fortune. The program displays itself automatically … Read more

The kitchen is the one room in the house that benefits most from organization. When you're cooking in high gear, grabbing ingredients and utensils at a fast pace, you find the things you need and move on to the next step. A break in the chain can cause the whole recipe to collapse. To that end, we outfit our kitchens with gadgets and appliances designed to suit our needs. However in order to accomplish anything in the kitchen we must first have the space to work.

The Catskill Cuisine Cart Deluxe with Back-Splash and Galley is a perfect example … Read more

The Wheego Whip, another Neighborhood Electric Vehicle, is expected to hit the streets in May, according to Engadget. That is, if Wheego Wheels can find dealers to sell these low-speed, souped-up golf carts. (I'm not just being mean; company founder Mike McQuary purchased a golf cart company and used its product as a base for the Whip).

Wheego, a division of Ruff & Tuff Electric Vehicles (seriously, that's the parent company name), is taking applications to form a network of 50 dealers. That's a strong goal in a weak economy for a new car that has limited use and range, and not much of a marketing plan. … Read more
