Look, we know it’s pointless and likely in violation of even the most rudimentary safety codes enacted since the Middle Ages. But there’s something about DIY hackery of that 500mA USB port that tugs at the little Erector Set cobbling kid in each of us. Just wire up an off-the-shelf pan with some insulated tungsten filament and you’ll be cooking an egg in about 7 minutes — you know, after an overnight pre-heat, presumably. Now prepare to have your noodle scrambled along with an egg in the video after the break.

We’ve got the rumor mill to thank for this one, but an elusive video (since removed, go figure) reportedly depicted a newfangled Walkman in the shape of an egg. ‘Course, this form factor certainly isn’t new for a DAP, but it sounds like Sony may be giving it a whirl with the introduction of the “Rolly,” which a snippet of is displayed above. Little is currently known (or presumed) about the device at the moment, but we are hearing that it will boast an integrated speaker for whatever that’s worth. We’ll be keeping an ear to the ground for further developments.
