We do like a good indecipherable timepiece ’round these parts and Click’s KeyPad certainly fits the bill. Resembling an old-school mechanical numerical keypad, each button packs an LED — press any number and it’ll blink out the time in single digits, so if it was 9:15am, the zero, nine, one and five buttons would flash in sequence. Push the hash key and the watch will oblige you for today’s date. If you enjoy frustrating colleagues who ask you for the time, then you’ll be delighted to hear that it costs and is shipping now. However, we’re not sure we could pull one off — maybe the hipster down the street will have better success.

Remember NBA JAM? Remember that there’s a new version (“new” like how Hollywood just re-makes old movies now) coming out for the Wii? EA Sports has released the above teaser video—and it’s truly a teaser; don’t blink or you’ll miss it.
There’s apparently supposed to be a much more involved launch on Spike TV tonight. Hopefully they’ll reveal a launch date. The current NBA season is just about over, so I’d guess that the game will be launched shortly before next season starts in the fall.
The 12.5-megapixel HZ25W combines the compact size of a pocket camera with the larger zooms more common to DSLRs: a 26mm wide-angled lens with 24x optical zoom, in this case. It can also shoot 720p HD video in H.264 format.
There’s no HD output, though. On the upside, the HZ25W (aka WB5000 in Europe) can handle uncompressed RAW images, in addition to standard JPEG files.
Aside from manual controls, aided modes include optical and digital image stabilization, smart face recognition, blink detection, and automatic adjustments to accommodate the color, brightness and movement of what you’re shooting.
Update: The HZ25W is scheduled to hit U.S. shops in October at $400. [Samsung]
This is what happens if you have a Dodge Viper V10 engine and decide to Frankenstein it into a motorbike. The creation is called a Millyard Viper V10 and is probably the bike with the longest wheelbase in the world (then again, maybe not, what do we know about bikes?). Created by one UK tinkerer called Allen Millyard, it’s supposedly street-legal and might be up for sale at some point in the future. Motorcyle News got interested and will write more about this in their August 26 and September 2 issues, so that’s all we know for now.
We’re wondering… with a total contact patch as small as that provided by a bike… is it even possible to slow this thing down safely from the speeds it can probably attain in the blink of a eye? In any case, this isn’t the first V10 powered crotch rocket we’ve written about: here’s The Chrysler Tomahawk V10 from all the way back in 2006.
