Faced with a struggling economy, the best accessories in life are free
Justin Yu | Nov 05, 2008
Hands are totally overrated
(Credit: Jeff Staple)
I hate buying accessories for my iPhone; it's totally counter-intuitive. You're saying that I need to buy OTHER stuff to make the phone I just bought more useful? It doesn't make sense to me, and it doesn't make sense to Jeff Staple of Staple Design either.
Check out this iPhone/iPod Touch cradle he made out of a simple binder clip that (let's be real here) you can easily liberate from your company's supply closet! It might take a bit of tweaking with pliers to get the wire to stand up on its own, but I'd rather do-it-myself than give away more of my hard earned money! Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, don't get one, I'm about to make these by the dozen and and sell them all on eBay; watch the first ones go up tonight. How does US$10.99 + tax sound? Race you to the patent office!

Bathing Ape and Nintendo team up, offer gloriously unaffordable clothing
Justin Yu | Nov 04, 2008
Bathing Ape, or Bape for short, is a Japanese street-wear clothing company owned by music producer Nigo that caters to young, fashion-savvy urban youth who apparently have way too much money to burn. A couple months ago, the company collaborated with Nintendo to create an exclusive (and subsequently, very rare) Nintendo DS (US$167) bedazzled with Mario and the now famous BAPE logo.
Now they're releasing a line of T-shirts and fleece sweatshirts for their fans who just can't get enough of high-priced gear. The "Mario to Milo" series will feature Nintendo's classic Italian plumber and Bape's favorite monkey, Milo. The prints will be prominently featured on crew-neck sweatshirts, hoodies, and T-shirts alike, and will be available at various online retailers starting at a surprisingly affordable US$175. Wait a second, US$175 for a white T-shirt? This thing better come with a bald eagle and a couple Faberge eggs.

Nintendo DSi launched in Japan Saturday
Matt Hickey | Nov 03, 2008
Right on schedule, the Nintendo DSi has shipped in Japan on 1 November.
According to Michelle Wyman, a spokeswoman for Nintendo, the DSi went on sale last Saturday in Japan for 18,900 yen, which is about US$192.16.
The device does away with the Game Boy Advance card slot to make room for a smaller footprint and new features like a VGA camera and another external camera. All told, though, it's pretty similar to the current version of the DS Lite. We should expect to see it in the rest of the world sometime next year, though how much it will cost, we don't yet know.
