You know what kids in developing nations need besides water, vaccines, and schools? MP3 players… and laptops, lots of laptops.

Yours now for ¥6,000 or about $60.

This DIY USB Guitar is capable of connecting direct to your PC so that you can use software on your computer to record, control and process. The small hack, although quite complicated, allows for a cheaper alternative to expensive sound cards. Just be careful when following the instructions as it does require cracking open the guitar and using a drill on it. Other then that, all should be good.

The Corgi H2GO is a RC card powered by a fuel cell that gets refilled with hydrogen extracted from water. Like the previous model, the H-Racer, it uses solar-powered electrolysis to do it. Unlike the straight-line-only H-Racer, however, the H2GO is a real RC car that can actually turn left and right. Playing Dr. Manhattan will set you back $255.
