| Gun Chandeliers Posted: 14 Feb 2011 12:01 PM PST 
Having a .38-cal revolver or an M16 Armalite as your chandelier means having polite and well-mannered guests. Why would they misbehave when they know that the house’s owner has the taste for things that can off them in a moment’s notice? The Gun Chandeliers from Rock and Royal aren’t really for the faint of heart. It’s for men who lord over their domain, even if they don’t have a real revolver or rifle with them. Consider these lighting fixtures a deterrent for would-be criminals who aim to defile your property. $TBD.

| Sonim XP3300 Force Posted: 14 Feb 2011 12:00 PM PST 
Laughing at the face of today’s deluge of smartphones is Sonim Technologies. The company produces the world’s toughest handsets and their latest, the XP3300 Force, is no different. This one has gone through a hellish batter of tests, including submergence in antifreeze mixture and wastewater, a drop in concrete and operation between -4 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit climate. It doesn’t end there because the XP3300 has up to 24 hours of talk time or GPS navigation and 800 hours of standby time. Several layers of protection, including a Corning Gorilla Glass, maintain the toughness of this phone and its perfect for people who are most certainly in harm’s way all the time. $TBA.

| PowerTrekk Fuel Cell Charger Posted: 14 Feb 2011 09:55 AM PST 
Harnessing the power of hydrogen used to be in the realm of boffins in lab coats or military men looking for major boom. This is not the case anymore. A company called myFC brings us the PowerTrekk 2-in-1 charger using mobile hydrogen technology. Just add water into a cartridge called a PowerPukk then black magic happens that convert hydrogen to electricity (actually, it’s called chemistry but the details will bore you). There’s also a Li-ion battery for juicing up your devices when you’re not actually using the chemical process. The PowerTrekk has a rated output of 5 volts at 1000 mA – enough to charge your smartphone, GPS or mobile device when you’re off the grid or when solar charging is too slow for you. Head on over to Barcelona at the Mobile World Congress 2011 to find out more of this device. ~$200.

| Fossil Chronograph Cuff Watch Posted: 14 Feb 2011 04:00 AM PST 
Rugged chronographs usually mean expensive but Fossil’s offering is not. The cuff style watch is wrapped in leather with a 47-mm oversized case. It has a chronograph movement, presumably quartz, given its price tag. You can take the watch underwater in five atmospheres of pressure (5 ATM) but you surely won’t stand that depth and you wouldn’t take this beautiful watch underwater either. $115.
