MagicJack CEO: netTalk is garbage! netTALK: No we aren’t!
Posted on January 26, 2010 | No CommentsI love CEO spats. A few days ago the MagicJack CEO, Dan Borislow (Shown above at his party at CES. Seriously. It was just like that.) was talking about his femtocell and was all like: I’m sure you’ve heard of netTALK, the new magicJack rival. Any opinions on the device? It’s a piece of sh*t. It has [...] -
Michael Jackson. 3D. Grammy Awards. Rubbish.
Posted on January 21, 2010 | No CommentsI don’t know, guys, something about a Michael Jackson 3D video making its début at the Grammy Awards this year. You need to get the glasses at Target or Staples. 3D stinks, we all know. All it’s going to take is a big-shot director to give a speech at the Academy Awards saying, “Can we [...] -
PolyTune: The Violent Femmes tune all their guitar strings at once on the bus
Posted on January 15, 2010 | No Comments
You know how when you play someone's guitar for the first time at a party and one string is way high or low and you start to tune it and find that the guitar is total garbage and can't be tuned anyway and so you play "Closer to Fine" on an untuned guitar in the corner of the part and people are all like "Who's the douche playing Indigo Girls in 2010? I think his guitar is out of tune." Has that ever happened to you? Definitely, right?
Well Polytune tunes all your strings at once. You strum and it tells you which strings are out of tune. You fix those strings, strum again, and then people will never make fun of you again.

America the beautiful: Mother calls 911 because her kid was playing GTA past bedtime. Yeah.
Posted on December 22, 2009 | No CommentsGotta love cops. A woman in Boston got mad at her 14-year-old son for being up at 2:30am playing Grand Theft Auto. (At least the kid wasn't smoking dust in the street at that hour.) In fact, she got so mad that she called 911 for help. You know, "You have to help me. My son is up in the middle of the night playing video games! I don't know what to do!" The cops responded, no doubt aggravated that they hadto deal with this garbage, by saying, "Calm down, ma'am. Just put your dumb kid to bed." That's not an exact quote, but you know that's what they were thinking.

Dell and Goodwill add more free computer recycling drop off sites
Posted on December 16, 2009 | No Comments
Ever tried to get rid of an old, sack o’ crap computer? It's not as easy as it sounds. You can't just throw it in the garbage (legally), charitable organizations have finally realized that it takes more time and effort than it's worth to refurbish a 486 DX2/66 machine that nobody’s going to use anyway, and dumping the computer at your municipal recycling center often costs a pretty penny.

Autonomous office cleaning robot
Posted on December 1, 2009 | No Comments
Japanese conglomerates Fuji Heavy Industries, Sumitomo and Subaru are developing a new robot [JP, PDF] that's able to clean office buildings autonomously. The yet to be named robot (pictured on the left) is sized at just 50x45x80cm, meaning it's able to maneuver even along narrow paths. Its functions include vacuuming the floors and picking up garbage.

Should mankind be able to control the weather?
Posted on November 11, 2009 | No CommentsIn lieu of an actually interesting collection of words and punctuation marks, I present this debate that has nothing to do with us: the weather in China. It seems that they've figured out how to control the weather over there using super-duper technology called cloud seeding. You may have heard of it. The problem is that officials there are blaming scientists for causing a major snowstorm; more snow is expected in the coming days. Basically, it's snowing too much, too early, and the powers that be aren't happy.

Video: Wherein CBS makes a fool of itself by showing it has no idea what it’s talking about re: movie piracy
Posted on November 3, 2009 | No CommentsBias much, CBS? The network ran a report on 60 Minutes the other day (which shows how far off our radar the show is, seeing as though we just found out about it) that, according to TechDirt's fantastic report, is basically a piece of MPAA propaganda. It makes all sorts of ridiculous claims that can easily be disproven by, you know, spending two minutes looking this stuff up.
