The 30th Anniversary of the classic arcade video game Space Invaders is in full swing, and now you will soon be able to get some nice pillows to go with those cool looking Space Invaders Bath Towels.

The pillows are colored black and decorated with pixel images of Space Invaders in a shade of drab yellow and drab gray. The measurements per pillow are 45cm (17.71in.) in length and 22cm (8.66in.) in width.

The Space Invaders Pillows can be pre-ordered from the NCSX shop. They will ship in mid-late June 2008 and the price is set to $29.90 each.

Apple TV on your Mac!!!

Apple TV on Mac

Ever wanted to run Apple TV on your Macintosh?
ATV4mac 1.4.3 lets you do just that–with a few limitations. It’s a Tiger-only, Intel-only release. You’ll need OS X 10.4.8 and higher and Leopard is a no-go at this time.

With it, you can run Apple TV take 2 as a Front-Row style Macintosh application, which can be a very nice thing if you plan on using a spare mac mini as an Apple TV replacement. Your mileage, as they say, will vary.

I can’t wait to try it!

what time is it Mr. Roboto?

Vintage Tin Robot Concept Watch

The Vintage Tin Robot Concept Watch is a joy to behold, featuring user-friendly functions despite looking more complicated than taking a car apart and putting it back together again. The left eye is the hour register, while the right eye features GMT indication. As for the nose region joint with the mouth region, you get seconds and retrograde minutes placements respectively. The Mr. Roboto watch is powered by automatic winding movement, boasting 25 jewels to get your bling factor up whenever you enter a swanky venue. You will be able to pick up the Mr. Roboto watch this September as long as you have at least $4,800 lying in your bank account.
