42″ Flatscreen TV Turned into a Wearable iPhone Costume

If you see these guys getting out of their car at your local Halloween costume contest, just pack up your costume and go home because you have no chance of winning. This is officially the BEST COSTUME EVER (of the week). Reko Rivera and John Savio created these awesome costumes each using a real 42″ LCD TV. The TV's are connected to their actual iPhones (docked just above the TV) and will show whatever the iPhone display shows. Yes those televisions are heavy! They weigh 85 pounds each, plus the weight of the batteries to power them and the wires and iPhone. That's $2000 worth of gear strapped onto these lads. Check out the video for a cool demonstration of some tricks and treats they can do:

Clear Acrylic TV Stand

Ubergizmo spotted this clear acrylic TV stand entertainment center at the CEATEC 2009 show. This is definitely not a trend I can see becoming too popular as most people prefer to hide all their wires and junky accessories to their media center. ALTHOUGH, if the future of your media center is smaller all-in-one devices with minimal wires and good style (think laptops versus desktops) then maybe you WOULD want to show off your electronics like this. Of course the clear furniture look is not for everyone though.

After fighting an uphill battle all of its first season, Dollhouse was given the go-ahead for numero dos, even though it was still given the Friday Night Death Slot. And now, because Fox has no idea how to market anything that isn’t a medical drama or animated fart joke, there are rumors that Dollhouse is at real risk of being pulled off the air only two episodes into the second season.

This is an unforgiveable trespass, and it is in our hands—the fans—to keep our beloved series on the air, and it really isn’t even that hard or time-consuming. It just takes the desire to get the word out about what might be—or has the potential to be, at least—Joss Whedon’s finest series.

What We Can Do:

1.) Watch it. It’s that simple. Tune in (especially if you’re a Nielsen Household) and make Fox realize that people want it on the air. Admittedly, I’m an episode behind already, but I’m busy planning a wedding; it’s on my DVR, and I have every intention of watching it before Friday. I promise.

2.) DVR it. I’m not sure if non-Nielsen DVR ratings count, but it’s worth a shot. Even if you watch it live in the Friday Night Death Slot, keep the tape running. And if you are Nielsen equipped, then you should definitely be taping.

3.) For you Americans out there, Hulu.com keeps Dollhouse
