Jun 11 2009 Star Trek Communicator App For iPhone
Want a realistic Star Trek communicator app for your iPhone? You're in luck, dog.
This classic Star Trek communicator app for iPhone slipped past us when it was first released into the App Store at the end of May. The spot on graphics and familiar chirping sound triggered when performing the epic cover-flip to access the communicator's controls is pure goodness.
This app is dangerously authentic and it's actually useful too. Unfortunately the developers had to name it "Star Radio Communicator" ($.99) in order to keep Paramount from sniffing out their brilliant effort.
*BEEP BOOP chirpity chirp chirp* Geekologie Writer, come in -- this is your captain speaking. What do you say you and I go investigate planet Dinosauria and score some sweet tail? "Captain, I've already been beamed."
UPDATE: App was purchased by several Geekologie Readers who attest the thing is a monster piece of shit and doesn't sound right at all. Save your buck.

Mar 3 2009 BEEP BOOP BOP: What R2-D2 Really Meant
NOTE: VIDEO'S SUBTITLES ARE NSFW.
This is a video of what R2-D2 really meant when he was beepity-booping and whirlity whirling. Obviously, the subtitles are NSFW because he's a pretty angry little droid. And can you blame him? The guy gets no respect. Like me after I rescued that kid from a tree. So what if it was partially my fault he was up there in the first place. He wanted to sit on the rocket-bike.

Aug 27 2008 BEEP BOOP BEEP: Ultra-Rare R2-D2 Fridge
This R2-D2 fridge, one of only 1,000 given away at Japanese 7-11's back in 2002 as a promotional prize for when Attack of the Bones came out, is now for sale by ToyEast. The trashcanny droid can both cool and heat your meat, but asking price is a staggering $1,070. So yeah, a little out of my price range. But I did just call up a Jawa buddy of mine and told him I'd pay upwards of $40 for one in good condition. Then I threatened to gouge those glowing eyes right out of his freaking head if he doesn't make it happen. Shifty little bastard stole my toaster once.
Hit the jump for one more picture of the handsome devil.

Jun 26 2008 R2-D2 And Darth Vader USB Hubs Are Legit
It's a well known fact that USB hubs come in all shapes and sizes, so it was only a matter of time before some company licensed a few Star Wars models. And here they are: R2-D2 and Darth Vader. R2 moves his head from side to side and lights up and makes boopity beep boop noises and Vader's eyes glow red and he breathes heavy while he, too, turns his head. They'll be available next month for about $66 and I'm definitely buying an R2. Or, I dunno, demanding one in exchange for not writing a scathing review.
Hit the jump for a video of the hubs in action!
