Christmas is just around the corner and I, being the nice Jewish boy that I am, have completed my shopping early. I picked up this I-MU Vibro Speaker for my girlfriend. The lady has been begging for a Sybian for years now because I lack the stamina in the sack. She also happened to need a new speaker for her ...

This made me chuckle quite a bit. Ah, the good times. DRM just plain sucks now. Link

When I’m headed to the beach, I’m usually carrying a heavy ass cooler full of beer. The problem is, I’m always going alone, all by myself. At first, it might not seem like that big of deal, but then it strikes me: who can I find to carry my stereo? A question that haunts me no more, thanks to Boomcooler. ...

For every Wii game released there exists a useless peripheral for the Wiimote. Wii Sports received those lame themed extensions for the controller just so that when you’re flailing your arms around like an idiot, you’ve got a greater chance of hitting someone. The release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is no exception to this fact. For $20 bucks, ...

None of us can afford a Bentley, but nevertheless, this is a brilliant car. The trunk features an umbrella holder with the backseat sporting a cocktail set complete with shot glasses. The intricacy! The detail! The Arnage Final Series from Bentley is the last run of the Arnage, which was started in 1998. Only 100 of the Final Series will ...

Applause all around for Electronic Arts. The gaming company managed to fuck up big time, this time with Spore. As you’ve heard, Spore contains draconian DRM that limits you to three installs of the game and no more. Now a California class action suit has been formed in an attempt to recoup $50 + damages for everyone who bought Spore. ...

I know, I know. I keep thinking this photo is some leftover crew picture from the original Jurassic Park. It looks like a wild zoo of sorts too, doesn’t it? It’s neither. It’s the newly designed California Academy of Sciences. I used to go to the Museum of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia but goddamn this has so much more. Hit ...

You’ve simply got to watch this entire video of a model Maglev train that’s powered by liquid nitrogen. It gets colder than 183 degrees C (361.4 degrees F) and encounters no resistance. Give it a push on a track and it’ll fly around it perfectly until the liquid nitrogen runs out. I just find it fascinating to watch a model ...

Hot damn! Believe it or not, the above display and handsets are for a new platform from Open Peak called Open Frame. It lets IP-based devices talk to each other over the network and acts as an entertainment hub. Built-in WiFi and Ethernet will let you check your calendar, YouTube, text messages, address book, email and more. All powered by ...

The talk about Google and T-Mobile’s upcoming G1 phone isn’t dying down anytime soon. However, in a very stupid move, T-Mobile had capped the phone so that after using more than 1GB of data over 3G, your phone would switch to GPRS-based ‘net and email access – significantly slower than HSDPA 3G speeds. Some speculate that the ‘Mo did this ...
