Last week, I posted a little blurb Apple made about the Palm Pre and iTunes syncing. It was essentially a big “Fuck You” to Palm and its iPhone competitor, the Pre. Now Sprint is striking back with an ad that directly attacks Apple and AT&T. If things keep up this way, we’re in for a long summer. Link

Instructables strikes again with another incredibly useful HOW TO. The next time you go camping, pick up a can of tuna on the way. After eating it for dinner and washing it down with a beer, you can saw the top off the beer can and turn the whole thing into a compact, portable stove. Genius. Link [via]

Live near a Gamestop? Most likely since they’re more common than McDonald’s these days. The retailer is selling a new silver-colored DualShock 3 controller for the PS3 now. It’s $55 and will get you nothing but street cred*. *- Actual street cred may vary. Link

If you haven’t upgraded to the iPhone 3GS, you’re in luck. We’ve posted a guide that details how iPhone 2G and 3G owners can easily jailbreak their iPhone and get all the apps they desire for free. That’s right: nadda. Nothin’. So sit down, pull up an iPod cable and check it out.

Holy shit. Do you see what I see? I think so. It looks like a fucking pizza oven that plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter. Amazing. Forget delivery; I can only imagine going 80 down I-95 while popping in a fresh DiGiorno with the works. What will they think of next? $36 and an extra $100 a month on your ...

Is the world ready for cyborgs? Apparently not, as witnessed yesterday by the “death” of pop singer Michael Jackson. I have a source that was very close to MJ and word on the street is that his death was actually a CPU failure. Apparently, the model engineer Quincy Jones implanted in the 1980s, the THRLR-116 was meant for only 10 ...

As long as you don’t mind dozens of eyes watching you shower, this Emoticon Shower Curtain is a hell of a way to geek up your bathroom a bit. Emoticons are becoming a new language all their own. Might as well brush up on your grammatical skills while you wash your balls nuts testicles hair. Sorry to send you to ...

I can hardly pretend to love soccer with the same devotion as some of you. Here’s how you know someone doesn’t love soccer as much as you. Number one, they don’t drink tea at a certain time every day. Two, they drive on the right side of the road. Three, they say mile instead of kilometer. But if you are ...

Word on the street is that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen had a HUGE opening day. Like, “second-biggest opening ever” huge. If you’re one of the moviegoers heading out to see Transformers in the coming days, you’re going to need a new outfit to fit in with the rabid fanboys. This Robots in Disguise t-shirt is equally geeky, funny and ...

Fact: Master Chief won the “Best Dressed” superlative in his graduating class’s yearbook. Quite a stud, Master Chief was. Quite a stud indeed. And apparently an athlete. I see he earned his varsity letter. Assuming he didn’t threaten the varsity coach with a head shot. More Master Chief nostalgia after the jump.
