Spiderman, Spiderman, does everything a spider can! Including, it seems, using home-made vacumm gloves to stickily scale the walls of the BBC’s White City building, a vertical drop of 120 vertigo-inducing feet. In this case, Spiderman isn’t the meek Peter Parker but engineer and TV presenter Jem Stansfield. Looking more like a low-rent steampunk Doc Oc than Spidey himself, Jem clanks his way to the top, in front of a cheering crowd

On the left, you see the E-Z Go Spine Extractor , it’s purpose: “Removal of undesirable fish spine and other living things has never been easier! For immediate taste-pleasure and easy disposal.” The spine extractor, although authentic in both cheap design and Engrish product pitch, is a spoof. As is the rather handy looking box next to it, the Yu Wan Mei Device , which “has been completed and is now available for sale.” These parodies are what happens when the Onion gets into gadget marketing, and like anything the Onion does, they’re so close to the truth of our day-to-day gizmo-hunting life that a few tears of knowing pain slip between the mirthful drops from our laughing, watering eyes

If you have an oil or a jam-making thermometer, a specialist deep-fryer is uneccesary. You just dump a few bottles of oil into a big, heavy pot and throw it on a high flame, watching the temperature slowly climb. The trouble with this is that you need lots of oil, and it’s messy filtering it back into the bottles (when cold, of course)

The New York Times has investigated the reported suicide of an employee of Foxconn, which manufactures Apple’s iPhones in Taiwan. The most illuminating piece of the story is buried at the end, where the reporter discloses that a security officer threatened to “beat up” his translator if she persisted in questioning the victim’s family. Foxconn is under fire for the death of Sun Danyong , a 25-year-old employee who reportedly jumped from a 12-story building after misplacing a prototype of the fourth-generation iPhone.

Amongst the real gadget gems in Sierra Club Green Home’s “50 green Gadgets” list, there are some hilariously under-thought items. For every solar-powered Nintendo Wii system, there’s a Helios Solar Grill (the monstrosity above), which actually pipes heat from its parabolic sun-gatherer through to the grill on the other side, and manages to look like the kind of Jetson-junk “inventions” I drew as a kid.

On paper (or on-screen), the British Eagle Tulsa Mens Bike looks to be a bargain, especially in over-priced, cash-strapped Blighty. The £70 ($115) bicycle comes from Asda, one of the UK’s cheaper supermarkets, and looks to offer free, healthy transport to anyone who can save up a week’s unemployment benefit. But the trouble begins… immediately

Ricoh has revealed its new compact GR III, successor to the GR II, and while oit offers some genuine improvements, overall it’s more of a small upgrade than a whole new model. The three standout upgrades are the sensor, which is still a sensible 10 megapixels but has been redesigned and equipped with better noise reduction software. The lens, too, has been improved, and the fixed 28mm-equivalent focal length now opens all the way up to a focus-flattening ƒ1.9, faster than the old ƒ2.4

We love gadgets — we really do. And that’s why, when a gadget fails to measure up to its promise, doesn’t work as you’d expect, is locked down with DRM or crippled with a terrible user interface or hobbled by a stanky-ass design, we get angry. We speak with the disappointed, crushed hearts of the gadget idealists we are: Why does this thing suck so bad

The Time Switch is a design which has its purpose fully 180º backwards. The designer, Ryan Harc, conceived the switch to stop time when the poor chap was up against a deadline (aside: if designing a new kind of light switch is his response to looming deadlines, we suggest some procrastination counselling, starting tomorrow)

Q: What’s the difference between the USB cable on the left and the USB cable on the right? A: When you plug the one on the right between keyboard and computer, it will transmit every key press to a remote receiver, one secret password or adult URL at a time.
