Truck drivers need to stay in their own damn lanes. They seem to think they’re driving Mini Beetles, while in actuality they’re inching their speeding 18-wheels a little too close to my fragile sedan. Now that I’ve finally found an excuse to chastise the driving of truck drivers, I can introduce you to Materialista, a project by Mexican artist Dami�n ...

Well, we humans had a nice run. It was fun while it lasted. I, for one, welcome our new fire-breathing baby robot overlords. This 7-meter tall aluminum fire-breathing baby robot named Giant Torayan, the creation of one Kenji Yanobe, debuted in Roppongi tonight, slaying every woman and child in its path. Why not the men, you ask? It harvests the ...

This ring is so pimp, like a geeky version of Xzibit, or whoever the kids are listening to these days. The 1981 �ATARI Ring� is, as you might be able to guess from the title, a replica of the original chip used in the ATARI gaming system. 18 gold karats of geekdom. While most men would much rather be playing ...

Are you ready for a lifetime of boredom?! Rather than sitting and staring at a traditional clock, you know, with its flashy “seconds” and “minutes,” how about giving the Calendar Clock a try? The clock measures days, months and hours rather than minutes and seconds, so you might have to strain a bit to notice any movement. Sounds like a ...

Doesn’t it suck when you get stuck with a shitty new roommate? You know the type I mean. The ones who demand that we can’t puff away at smokes all day indoors like we’re accustomed to. And we just got our brand new lighter too! Who do they think they are? The government? As they usually do, Thanko has come ...

This is just perfect. And not only because the Wii sucks! Okay, well mostly because the Wii sucks. But we have to hand it to Nintendo. Their little Wii Fit gimmick is a decent idea… in theory. The problem is that their console is a gimmicky pile of junk, which isn’t much help to those of us who need a ...

Whatever happened to a good old-fashioned fly swatter? I blame that damn rap music. A fly will certainly know it’s facing impending doom when you cock your insect-targeted Glock in its direction. The Fly-Goodbye Gun features some sort of vacuum and internal tube adhesion system. While it does look pretty hardcore for a tool designed for small insect control, it’s ...

iPhones! iPhones! Get ’em while they’re hot! This dinosaur is poppin’ wood A spring-free trampoline setup A house that walks! It lives! NVIDIA and Intel are in one hell of a battle I love the picture of the cardboard robot The official site for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is up Get a free Blackberry Bold at your local ...

Hope you fuckers have $50,000 sitting in your bank account because you’re going to need to make a withdrawal ASAP. The Tesla Model S is out and boy is she a beauty. Four doors of fury, all electric motor and a $49,000 base price. Did I mention Tesla is producing 20,000 units? This means you’ll be able to buy one ...

If you’ve been waiting for the day where you could walk into an Apple store and buy an iPhone 3G without any contract bullshit, you’re in luck. Starting last night, Apple will now sell the 8GB iPhone 3G for $599 and 16GB for $699. While it’s expensive as hell, Apple should have no problems selling unsubsidized iPhones. I’m sure legions ...
