Au revoir, Apple TV. The new Netflix Player by Roku ($100) lets you watch movies and TV shows from your Netflix queue, right on your TV, without ever going to the mail box. The streaming set-top box provides instant access to more than 10,000 movies and TV shows (currently about 10% of the Netflix library). Surprisingly compact (approximately 5″ x 5″ x 2″), the Netflix Player features Wired Ethernet and Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g), HDMI and Component Video, and comes with a simple remote that lets you make selections, rate movies, and fast-forward or rewind video streams. The best part is that there’s no extra costs in all of this. You just have to buy the box and have a Netflix subscription. Awesome.

Now available. Originally posted 02/08. Sure, the DraughtKeg is handy, but it’s also a little messy, and takes up quite a bit of room in the fridge. The Heineken BeerTender ($300) solves these problems by serving as a standalone beer-serving machine, made especially for the 5L DraughtKeg. Co-developed with Krups, the BeerTender features integrated refrigeration to keep your beer the ideal temperature, and the built-in display lets you know when it’s time to refill. Plus, with its advanced pressure system, you’ll get the perfect pour every time. [Thanks, Zach]

When was the last time your putter told you why you missed that par-saving 3-footer?

You have a buzz cut for one reason — it’s efficient. You can cut it yourself, and it requires no “product” when you’re ready to step outside. No prep, no mess. So isn’t it time your clipper was as equally efficient? Meet the Remington Shortcut ($30-$40). This curved cutting system follows the shape of your head better than traditional clippers and bi-directional back and forth cutting gives you up to 50% faster hair cuts. It features an adjustable guide comb with five length settings (from 1/8″ to 1/2″), a rechargeable battery, self-sharpening and rinseable blades, and a pop-up trimmer for around your ears and neckline. The low-maintenance look has never sounded (or looked) so good.
