Gearfuse Technology, Science, Culture & More

Wow, Beldar Conehead has really let himself go. In this exceedingly creepy Photoshop job by DeviantArt user Brushcommander, Patrick Star from SpongeBob Squarepants comes alive, if that’s what you call this. Reality really is scarier than fiction sometimes. Link [via]

It’s funny cuz it’s true. I’m a Chrome user myself. Pretty much exclusively for the past six months or so. And while it’s very speedy, it does have some buggy issues. Particularly the Mac beta. But I’ll throw them a bone here and give ’em the old Gearfuse stamp of approval. Link

Catch a wave, I will. Check out this�creatively�geeky sculpture mashing up the universal symbol for “surf’s up!” with Yoda’s oblong head. This might just be an image I’ll never be able to unsee. Link [via]

This girl has got some serious skills. YouTube user applegirl002 uses a rig�affixed�with a trio of iPhones to produce her own cover version of Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable.” And she does a damn fine job. I was certainly not expecting the lyrics to be so accent-free after watching the introduction. And damn, for a small girl, she’s got some lungs! You’re going ...

Back in November of 2009 we posted a series of photos depicting the very secret lives of Stormtroopers. How exactly does the great white menace spend their off-duty time? The answer appeared to be spending a lot of time in each other’s arms and painting nude portraits of each other. This edition of The Secret Lives of Stormtroopers unveils their ...

With Summer just around the bend, it’s that time of the year again. Time to start BBQ planning. This year, we’re going for a fantasy-theme. But what should we serve with our centaur burgers? Unicorn on the Cob, of course. Shove the horn right into the core of the cob and chomp away. If you’re too cheap to splurge on ...

With the ever-expanding usage of Google Chrome and with Firefox still chugging along, voodoo was probably the last thing that Internet Explorer needed. IE needs all the help it can get, but it certainly isn’t getting it from this follower of voodoo, who apparently is not a happy camper. This is what happens when you make a browser that has ...

There are maybe two or three times a year that call for the special fine china. But those days call for something especially elegant and delicate – two traits us geeks aren’t known to posses. These Star Wars�Porcelain�china plates allow us to both reflect our true nature and not feel all stuck-up and snobby in the process of trying to ...

Using the Amazon Kindle for so long I almost forgot that there are some places where books still come with pages. The Lightsaber doesn�t really spear through the books, although judging from the photos it does turn at least part of them into a clammy mess of scrambled egg. That�s not quite fair: the photos show a prototype, so the ...

Ok, so this one doesn’t look like a little monkey, but he generally looks extremely surprised. I just want to know what they hell they are showing this poor cat. While you’d have to break the jaw of most kitty’s to achieve the same affect, I don’t recommend it. I’m sure the same effect can be done using strings and ...
