I recall the old police shack in Times Square dripping with cables stretching all over the back wall, but the new shack must have finally put those all underground. [ Gallery @ Royal Pingdom ]

I will never have a need for a Veritas Dovetail Gang Saw in my life—I buy all my joints pre-cut—but I still want one all the same. It’s $212, plus shipping. [via Toolmonger ]

The Hustler Zeon is an all-electric, zero-turn riding lawnmower—they say it’s the first in the world. Hustler’s site has nearly no information, but Uncrate reports the Zeon will have up to 80 minutes of mowing time per charge. That sounds great for home use, but won’t cut it for bigger jobs unless you can cycle batteries through with an external charger. No price yet, but you can count on it costing more than your average Snapper.

Tool Guy D looks at the new Leatherman Freestyle multitool , scheduled for a May release. Inexplicably, it appears they’ve ditched the screwdriver, which might make it all thinner, but would seem to diminish the usefulness of a multitool quite a lot. The Freestyle and the Skeletool are certainly the coolest Leatherman tools out there, but it still seems the New Wave is the most multi of their multitools.

Both kettle and pitcher, the One from Vessel Ideation can be set on a gas hob, its blue porcelain-like print becoming apparent when the water is at the right temperature for tea. Then place the pot on a trivet that attaches magnetically to the bottom and keep it on the table next to you. Neat, pretty, and nonexistent. (My apologies for posting a concept device, but I’m a sucker for housewares. As are others, apparently, as the One won an award at a recent Tea-Off design competition.) [via Cool Hunting ]

It plays Sega Megadrive, NES, SNES and Gameboy games, has a wimpy camera, and can do the tunes. Chinagrabber’s Game-800 even reads plain text files out loud, perfect for those upset by Amazon’s kill-switched Kindle 2 . You bring your own games to the machine via SD card (”You can freely expand your library of emulated games by downloading new ones,” the sellers naughtily declare) and there’s a TV-out function, too. The display is 320×240, perfect for the old raster stuff from the 1980s. It’s offered in a bunch of virulent colors. The only downer would be those controlsI can’t imagine beating any high scores with ‘em, even if it is just $70! Product Page [China Grabber via technabob and Nexus 404 ] Update : Here’s what you want, Rob: Doug Aamoth says it can play “NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Game Boy Advance, Neo-Geo, and certain Capcom arcade systems”, plus it’s just under a hundred bucks shipped. (Which actually seems a bit spendy and the 340 x 240 pixel screen is probably junk, but at least it has a proper D-pad.)

Dotdosh imagines the next iPhone with an unsourced pic: Could this be the next iPhone? A photo that was recently posted shows these images, but are to be taken with a grain of salt. If this is the next generation iPhone its pretty sexy and it looks to have a bigger screen and the silent toggle switch moved. As said before, take this with a grain of slat until Apple finally announces the next iPhone. It won’t be that thin, and that complicated speaker grille between bezel and touchscreen doesn’t look very Appley. Apart from that, though, it’s a damn good mockup! [via Gizmodo ]

Though I thought Microsoft’s ad featuring Lauren De Long was its best yet , its reality TV scenario set off the internet BS alarms. Seth Weintraub found that the HP laptop she selected is junk with terrible reviews . Even the pretty star, presented as a random consumer given an impromptu shopping challenge, turns out to be a SAG actress doing a standard TV ad: Lauren’s under NDA not to talk about her experience . [Gizmodo]
