While it appears the family of this Xbox 360 didn’t have the money to afford a coffin for their console, they at least took the time to invite the Xbox’s friends and family to pay their last respects. Playstation put their differences aside for a day to share the mourning process with the console community. Even VR-32 Virtual Boy paid ...

It’s like the day the music died in reverse. The company And Vinyly lets you use your own or your pets cremated ashes to create a limited run of vinyl records. Each record holds a 24-minute segment in which you customize with final thoughts or your favorite music. For extra fees, you can add in exclusive artwork, where UK artist ...

The CoffinPet concept provides the environmentally-conscious pet with a 100% biodegradable to rest in piece. When it’s time for a pet to lay down their will and power of attorney, they’ll thank you generously for providing such a thoughtful place for their bodies to be dumped and quickly replaced. Of course, if you keep your pet in shape, you won’t ...

Just as they say “live by the sword, die by the sword,” the same goes for geeks. Mr. Alan here was such a fan of his Sun SPARCstation that his ashes were placed inside of one (a SPARCstation in pristine condition I might add), complete with a name plate decked out with a quote from what other show then, you ...

Looking almost more like Michael Jackson than Michael Jackson looked like Michael Jackson, this ultra-realistic set of Thriller Action Figures features MJ in both his normal pre-surgical and pre-allegation days, with iconic red leather jacket, and also in his much-touted zombie form. Thriller is probably my favorite music video of all-time. Having a Michael Jackson Thriller action figure to show ...

I’m really not sure what to think about this. The power of 3D technology has been leading in this direction for a while, it was only a matter of time. Personal Urns use 3D technology to create a 3D image of the deceased and then using that image to create an urn model. Once the Personal Urn is complete, you ...

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 ...

This is perhaps the most depressing t-shirt design I’ve ever seen. I can’t think of a better time to come across it than right before the New Year. This way, I can wipe the slate clean of any desire to start up my own arcade right here in my own town. This shirt reminds me that no matter how enticing ...

Best Buy sucks but Circuit City has fucked up so bad in the past five years, that it now has to close 155 stores. An official letter got sent over to Consumerist today, detailing the arrangement. Employees will not be getting any severance either, it seems. With its stock trading under $1 at many times, Circuit City has got to ...

In Japan, you apparently can be charged with illegal access of a computer and manipulating electronic data if found guilty of intentionally “killing” someone’s MMO character. Some guy divorced his online wife’s avatar in Maple Story and in her anger she killed his character. Now, she faces a prison sentence of up to five years or a fine of up ...
