Upcoming ads confirm that the iPhone HD will have video chat
Posted on May 25, 2010 | No CommentsLike the camera sitting on the face of every single leaked iPhone HD hasn’t been proof enough, or like the references to video chat in the beta SDKs didn’t mean anything, now we have even more proof that there will be video chat capabilities in the upcoming iPhone HD (or whatever it will be called). Right [...] -
Video: Nike proves once and for all the world needs a bearded Rooney
Posted on May 21, 2010 | No CommentsWe’re about three weeks away from the beginning of the World Cup. You know this because I’ve mentioned it over and over again since 2008. Fancy Adidas this, super-advanced Nike that. And so on. Today’s edition: a three-minute Nike advert that was directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu (of “Babel” fame). Even if you have no [...] -
Three variations of the Three Wolves t-shirt meme
Posted on May 21, 2010 | No Comments
The Three Wolves shirt gained fame after it started collecting a bunch of clever reviews, and quickly became a bona fide meme. Once that happened, meta-memes sprang up around it. I liked the broken images variant the best. That is, until today, when I saw the Three Ewok shirt pictured here!

Yet another so-called iPad killer surfaces, brings a 1Ghz CPU and Android 2.1
Posted on May 6, 2010 | No Comments
Note to manufacturers and the Internet: Just because a tablet has the latest hardware, can run Flash, and rocks Android, doesn't mean it's going to take over the world. Like this Mastone Lifespad 3G. Technology-wise it's on par with the iPad with it's 1Ghz Freescale CPU, 512MB of DDR2 RAM, and 3G module. Then the Android 2.1 install somewhat tops the iPhone OS with multitasking and the works. But that doesn't mean it's an iPad killer.

Crytek ‘working closely’ with Microsoft, Sony re: motion controls
Posted on April 16, 2010 | No CommentsPretty sure Crytek, of Crysis fame, is usually associated with blazing fast graphics cards and extreme edition processors, so color me surprised to see it embracing Microsoft's Project Natal and Sony's Move. Surprised and disappointed, to be exact—I shan't be participating in this motion control business, that's for sure.

Family of Balloon Child hit with $42K fine
Posted on December 23, 2009 | No CommentsThe family of the fake flying balloon boy, the Heenes, whose strange, sad story so captivated us for about an hour two months ago has been hit with a $42,000 fine for the cost associated with tracking the balloon through the skies of Colorado.

Say yes to double-sided condiment bottles
Posted on October 16, 2009 | No Comments
Oh Balloon Boy, your human interest story mesmerized us and gave us hope. But your misadventures lasted but a few short hours and like all minor celebrities, your fame is fading away like Marty McFly’s family members in that photo from that one movie where his car looks like a bird and they never really reveal how that professor makes money. He doesn't teach any classes, that's for sure, and his frazzled appearance would frighten most students. Wait, he's a doctor. MD or PhD? What's the story on this weirdo?
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that the world still needs something to hold onto. And that something may very likely be this double-sided condiment bottle.

The G1 could get Donut, says notorious Android hacker
Posted on August 19, 2009 | No Comments
I’m a n00b to the whole Android scene; I make no bones about it. But I have been lurking the XDA forums for the last couple months and I feel comfortable rooting my Android devices (except the Hero) and swapping between “cooked ROMs” from various hackersdevs to get the latest and greatest features. So when the Interwebs started freaking out over the G1’s lack of memory, which we all knew from the beginning, but that it would hinder the G1 from getting future updates, I started to worry. Alas, those closer to the realm of Android have shed a bit of light on what G1 owners could/should expect going forward regarding those nasty rumors about not getting Donut or Éclair. Mr Wimberly of Android and Me fame did a bit of digging and it seems as though we may have jumped the gun. Maybe. -
