The i.Saw - For the Tech Geek who has everything

The wizards over at BBH Labs tipped me off to this pretty cool new tech toy, the i.Saw.  Go ahead and check it out, I’ll wait…

Pretty cool, huh? Read the Wired review here, and see why Gizmodo called it the “bloody apex of USB peripherals.” All yours for just $59.95 plus S&H. Check out these specs:

Never before has a chainsaw been made available in such a compact and mobile form. Measuring no larger than the size of a regular computer keyboard, every effort has been made to ensure that proper grip – and safety – is not compromised.

And of course compatability is not an issue:

Instant plug ‘n’ play. Zero startup time. Patent-pending technology allows for an unparalleled distribution of power. A first in its class. Works on PC, Mac and most USB-enabled devices.

Good stuff, and now of course, it’s time for the reveal. The i.Saw isn’t a real product, it’s a spoof product, but it’s addressing a real issue. Every time you hit “print” obn your keyboard, somewhere trees are being cut down.  BBH Singapore decided, rather than make a spoof commercial to make a spoof product. But before you get to disappointed about not getting an i.Saw, you can go here to download a chainsaw sound for your computer. A pretty cool/clever reminder of the ecological impact we can have.
