Earlier this year, Koichi Futatsumata of Case-Real floated a concept for this deliciously retro-futuristic vacuum-tube amplifier around the Internet. The Elekit Tube Amp, as it was originally called, has now been re-named 22 [tu: tu:], because it's going into production, and hopefully into our undeserving apartments. The amp will be available for pre-order in late October for ¥73,500 (about ...

December may be months away, but it's never too early to start thinking about what you could buy your favorite alcoholic uncle this holiday season. Instead of grabbing yet another handle of his special medicine, though, you might want to consider getting a bottle that'll keep on giving -- something like, say, a Wine Bottle USB Speaker and FM Radio.

What happens when you cram 17,000 watts of pure audio power into a 2006 Ford Expedition? Apparently, it makes the whole thing bounce and shake like a giant slab of SUV-shaped Jell-O, or, as TechEBlog points out, an earthquake.
