Caffe Inn: The Espresso Machine That’s Right at Home On Tony Stark’s Chest [Espresso]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on October 25th, 2009
Who knew that the real power source driving Iron Man onward and upward into the stratosphere was really just a strong, trendy espresso machine?
Designed by Frenchman Charles Teyssier, the "Caffe Inn" concept is purely aesthetic, offering little in the way of improvements on the tried and true espresso machine formula. It does, however, remind me of Iron Man, and that's enough. [Design Blog]

Here's the latest shot from Iron Man 2, which, if I understand it correctly, is a prequel about how Tony Stark got his start slinging donuts in suburban Southern California. Can't wait! [EW via io9]
Buy Tony Stark’s Arc Reactor for $150 [Iron Man]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on September 24th, 2009
This Arc Reactor is just a replica, so it won't allow you to power a bionic suit that flies around and punches through walls. It will, however, make your desk that much more dorky. And that's something. [Museum Replicas]
Anime Iron Man Would Vaporize Robert Downey Jr. and His Liver’s Ass [Iron Man]
Posted by: Gadget Boy in Gadget News on July 30th, 2009
Of course this Iron Man anime is totally badass—Japan's made cartoons about dudes in robot suits for over 40 years. And of course, Iron Man is blowing up a bunch of other dudes in crazy robot suits.
That bad guy is creepy—like a cross between M. Bison and this dude I saw on the cover of an anime in Blockbuster when I was 5 and gave me nightmares for a while and Guyver.
The show's for the Japanese market by the animation giant Madhouse, so except for Iron Man looking like Iron Man and beating ass, it won't be a whole lot like the all-American Iron Man we know. Still, I seriously hope they consider re-importing it so I don't have to download fansubs.
But uh, don't <a href="even ask what they're doing to Wolverine. It's just better that way. [Topless Robot via Technabob]
