Apparently, other movies exist besides Star Wars. And Flickr user Old Red Jalopy uses the posters from these mythical movies as inspiration for, what else, but alternative Star Wars posters. Included in these imaginary renderings are posters inspired by Full Metal Jacket, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas and American Beauty. I can only assume that Mark Hammill and Harrison Ford star in ...

With Steve Jobs’s unveiling of the iPhone 4 at yesterday’s WWDC, the modern smartphone battleground was just cranked up a notch. Apple’s newest launch into the mobile stratosphere has already spurred much speculation of which phone will ultimately win the smartphone battle. Looking at all of the stats, I don’t think there’s much competition. AT&T just needs to get their ...

I dare you to find a family portrait cooler than this one that doesn’t feature bacon. The bayonet to mustache ratio really does it for me. Link

Call me a stupid American. Call me not down with the times. But I never really got into soccer. Maybe it was my inability to play the game that really did it. Soccer isn’t friendly to chubby smokers who can’t run more than a few feet. But for whatever reason, I never really grasped the sport. But then again I ...

Interestingly enough, AT&T is currently down for maintenance, right after Steve Jobs’ keynote at WWDC 2010. I’m wondering whether they’re updating the iPhone users’ upgrade dates, since Jobs promised that AT&T users within six months of their upgrade will be able purchase the iPhone 4 at the subsidized price. Either that or AT&T is freaking the hell out because of ...

While much like our friends over at Gizmodo, we weren’t invited to Steve Jobs’ WWDC 2010 keynote, we followed the event close, so here’s a recap of what you might have missed, filtering out all of the typical craptastic self-promotion. Netflix app coming to the iPhone, the full Netflix experience. Watch Instant Stream movies, resume on different device. Out this ...

Anybody who has followed Gearfuse long enough knows that there are really no limits to the artistry that can go into LEGO work. In fact, there are people who even make a career out of it. But Dave and John Xandegar simply wanted to create a power tool capable of fulfilling the geeky carpenter. The LEGO Circular Saw is probably ...

What’d you think? Those brick blocks just appeared out of thin air? I’m sure he wouldn’t be too happy if I went around clogging all of his clients’ toilets. Seriously, Mr. Brick-Layer Man. Just hook me up with some Taco Bell and revenge can be yours. He’s really been asking for it. Link

While I find it nearly impossible to feign surprise (I mean, come on, this is the internet we’re talking about) I can’t say I knew even half of these stats pulled together on this amazingly infographic. For one, the average age a child first sees porn on the net is 11? What the hell? Where are your parents? Whatever happened ...

This is why I love YouTube. All hand-farting videos aside. As far as I know this is the only video documenting a fan’s reaction as it happened. If you didn’t already know, Armando Galarraga of the Detriot Tigers was screwed out of a perfect game thanks to a shoddy call by umpire Jim Joyce with two outs in the ninth ...
