Cellphone inventor says they’ve become ‘too complicated,’ rock-n-roll too loud
Posted on November 6, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Culture
You know that smartphone you love, that ultimate expression of handheld convergence that some would call a mobile computer? It's crap. Or so says octogenarian, Martin Cooper, former lead engineer at Motorola said to have invented the handheld cellphone -- really, his name is on the "Radio telephone system" patent and he's credited with making the very first private handheld cellphone call from a busy New York City street on April 3rd, 1973. Well Marty doesn't like those newfangled handsets. In fact, according to our sterling Mr. Cooper, "Our future I think is a number of specialist devices that focus on one thing that will improve our lives." Words uttered this week during a conference in Madrid. Imagine it: a future where we carry a portable radio, film camera, wind-up watch, Kaypro luggable computer, HP calculator, and Atari handheld... oh wait, that was the eighties.

He also occasionally co-hosts a show, “Special Delivery,” along with “Prime Time” Sam Roberts (yes, that Sam Roberts) on Sirius XM. He's also quite funny.

Michael Jackson, king of pop and.. inventor?
Posted on June 26, 2009 | No Comments
MJ always had a reputation for putting on a good stage show, but did you know that some of the equipment he used was so creative as to warrant a patent? In the "Smooth Criminal" video, everyone on the stage ends up leaning over at a 45 degree angle at one point, something that is normally not possible. But instead of being held against the stage by the pure power of funk, Jacko actually invented a very special shoe to help pull off the trick.

The ‘anti-stab’ knife that works just fine in the kitchen but can’t kill a man
Posted on June 15, 2009 | No CommentsThe average American probably doesn't know this, but there's a huge problem with knife-crime in the UK. (That's what happens when guns are so hard to get a hold of, knives everywhere.) Sports stars try to tell people to knocks it off; so does the prime minister but no one cares what he says anymore. Which brings us to today's news: the very first “anti-stab” knife. That is, a knife that'll do the job in the kitchen, but can't really be used to stab someone.
