By way of Kotaku, we hear about Canadian blogger Rinry, who subjected eight NES cartridges to all manner of video game torture and hell. When the dust settled, seven of the cartridges still worked. [Kotaku]

DailyTech reports that a number of companies with tiny budgets who resorted to the survival tactic of showing their new gear at hotel suites around Vegas during CES were kicked out of hotel rooms they paid for by CES’s organizers.
One company was reportedly ordered to pay a $10,000 exhibition fee to the CEA, the organization behind CES, in order to continue showing their products in their hotel suite.
If you’re one of the companies who got booted, we’d like you to pitch us your new stuff, so we know we didn’t miss you because of the CEA. [DailyTech]

Our dreams of a personal fuel cell that can charge our gadgets on the go are coming closer to fruition, and if the people at Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies continue what they’re doing, our dreams might come true sooner rather than later. A handheld box a bit larger than an iPhone, the MiniPak handheld fuel cell charger uses Hydrostik cartridges filled with solid hydrogen particles to keep your gadgets juiced. It comes with one Hydrostik, which can be refilled with the companion product, the HydroFILL. The HydroFILL gets filled up with water, and when connected to a power source, it breaks the water down to hydrogen and oxygen, filling up the cartridges. We’ll admit that we’re not exactly up on our molecular chemistry, so check out the video after the break to see a Horizon rep explaining it more clearly.

USB Hard Drives are pretty much a liability when it comes to packing them up carefully in our laptop bags and then managing to stuff the cables and everything into one pocket. But then, instead of getting smaller and sleeker, we have them grow steadily in size. This is so at least in the case of the Super Mario World SNES Cartridge.

If you were looking for that super finishing touch for your MAME arcade machine, it’s here. The SNEGA2USB will let you plug in your Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo cartridges into it and mount them as a regular USB 2.0 storage device, no drivers needed. The game ROMS and (SNES SRAM saved games) will show up as files on the drive, and then you can point a console emulator at them. You should also be able to backup your games and play them offline, but absolutely, positively, no sharing them with your friends or online. Once you get your rig up and running, you can play all your old favorites on any PC screen with up to 4 players by USB game pads. According to recent updates, the cartridges are even hot-swappable.
This is still a fledgling project and production isn’t exactly in full gear. You’ll have to pre-order at $90 by October 31st but shipping isn’t expected until December. There’s also a ‘group buy’ option that is trying to get some critical mass required to get enough units preordered to lower the price significantly. Video demo after the jump.

SNEGA2USB Mounts your Game Cartridges with USB, Emulation is Go
Well, you can flash a gang sign but we can’t promise it will net you a whole lot of street cred. You can finally stake out the local computer lab as your ‘hood for you and your posse. No longer will people have to wonder to whom they owe protection money, when you label your USB port prominently with an “East Side” USB flash drive. These 2 GB flash drives will let you mime “East Side”, “West Side”, “Love” or “Change” loud and proud out of your USB pizzle. Depending on your local translations you can also flash; “Fight the Power”, “Heavy Metal Rules” or “I have advanced arthritis in my hands”.
They have thoughtlessly left out their disclaimer denying responsibility for any gang wars that might be incited by their products. So get one early and sue often. It’ll only cost you $35 to get yourself gunned down like Tupac. What’s a couple of dollars to become a posthumous rap legend?

Like I’ve said here before, when a modder takes a perfectly perfect piece of Nintendo lore and makes a hard drive out of it, or turns a classic item from gaming history and begets a USB drive, I weep.
The victim today is Super Mario Bros. 3, arguably the best platformer title in history and possibly one of the best video games ever created by mankind.
As of this writing, there is one less of these fine cartridges left in the world. The one you see here has had its guts ripped asunder, only to be replaced with a 160GB USB hard drive.
Sure, one could put thousands of Super Mario Bros. 3 ROMs inside this thing now that it contains a hard drive, but the essence—and a bit of my childhood—are gone forever. I’ll be sleeping with my copy under the pillow tonight. [GeekSugar via CrunchGear]

The hottest wheels a 7-year-old could hope for
Surely the hottest wheels a 7-year-old could hope for, Firebox is now flogging the Razor Spark Scooter in the UK for a shade under 60.
With enough pocket money saved up, boys and girls can get their hands on the folding scooter that has a detachable flint cartridge to create a trail of sparks when they step on the rear bar as they ride along.
The cartridge has four flint bars that are good for 1.5-hours of sparks, with an extra cartridge bundled in. Presumably further cartridges can be purchased at no-doubt considerable cost.
Built of aircraft grade aluminium with tough urethane wheels, the scooter folds up for easy portability and weighs in at 2.27kg. It’s on sale now from Firebox for 59.95.
