Jul 15 2008The iGiveUp: A Handgun Bluetooth Handset
The iGiveUp is a Bluetooth handset in the form of a gun. You just put the barrel in your ear and pull the trigger to make and receive calls. There's an Instructable if you want to make your own, and it's not too complicated. The concept may or may not have been developed by the guy who made Mana Energy Potions seeing how his Instructibles name is ManaEnergyPotion and there's a picture of him surrounded by bottles of the stuff. I've got to hand it to whoever is responsible though, there have been many times when I'd have rather have just wrapped this life up than take a phone call. Like this morning when my parole officer called to ask why my ankle monitor reported I'd been in Vegas over weekend. You know what I told him? Because I love drinking, gambling and prostitutes. Which, incidentally, is how I got arrested in the first place. As the saying goes: you can't teach an old dog not kill another hooker.
Hit the jump for a video of the folks showing the gun off to people waiting in line for the new iPhone.

Thanks to Aaron, who apparently had something to do with building the thing and should send me one because I'm retarded and can't complete a DIY project to save my own life.

well you cant really kill a hooker cause they are already dead inside, its more like euthanizing.

I'll be watching the news with baited breath for the first report of a cop shooting someone because of this.

Now, don't get me wrong... I love the Geekologie thang...endless entertainment and lots of top tips ! Trailer-trash-geek-chic ! WOAH YEH !
But come on...how much do you wanna prove that all Yanks are fu*ktards ! The chimps in line for the new iRape...err iPhone... the twat with the lame comedy spasmodic whatever gun.... the review ! Not doing no one no favours my friend !
Come on Geekologie Writer... we expect much better.
Lovin' your work.... this piffle is well below your radar !

@mr geekologie......just a suggestion, is there any way that you can filter the word "first" and any other form of the word (ex. f1rst, frist, etc.) and in its place it will say "im a douchebag" ? hmmm

I disagree Hoopla number 5. I think you're just jealous that our government lets us play with something that looks remotely like a gun without beating us with night sticks. I think this is hilarious. This is why I read Geekologie. Plus, read the write-up on it, Geekologie Writer made this funny even if it wasn't to begin with.
Although I can't disagree with the iRape...

@5 Speak ill of the Geekologie Writer one more time, and expect to get voted off this island. Lest you want me to follow you around your job all day and comment on how dropping the fries on the floor, picking them up, picking the pubic hair off of them, and then placing them in the bag for the customer to unwittingly eat is "below your radar" I think it would be in your best interest to keep your belittling comments aimed at your tiny penis, you asshat.
Aaaaanyway... I happen to really like this idea. I could just imagine seeing all the teenagers and businessmen wannabe's walking around the mall with one of these things pointed at their eardrum.

this guy OBVIOUSLY doesn't live in the hood. you pull that thing out anywhere near my house and you'd have slugs from 5 different weapons in you by the time you could say "wrong number"

The douche in the photo looks like he slept in a dumpster. But I'll bet his myspace kicks some major ass.

mad props for the iNoose... actually I can see that being a more functional product - microphone and ear placements are great

i like to stand on bridge over passes, making phone calls on my iGiveUp, in the middle of the night. I often cry from joy while in the act. I'm so misunderstood.
15. Richthegringo - July 16, 2008 8:02 AM
I must have one!!!
Just imagine the fun you could have pointing at people and telling them that you have a phone call for them.....
