    Shock study: Adult Web sites are filled with malware

    Posted on June 11, 2010 | No Comments
    Wow, who would have guessed that visiting adult Web sites would be dangerous to the health of your computer? I mean, of all of the genres of sites out there—sports, tech, politics, books, etc.—the last I would have predicted to be dangerous was adult ones. Thanks, International Secure System Lab

    WickedLasers Spyder III Pro Arctic Laser burns all comers

    Holy wow. I saw this thing this morning but I forgot about it. Then Kyle at Giz pointed out that this laser – made from diodes out of a Casio slim projector – costs only $200 and can burn almost anything. Now I’m interested. We’ve done reviews of WickedLaser products in the past but this looks [...]

  • Palm Pixi Plus now free on AT&T

    Palm Pixi Plus now free on AT&T

    Posted on June 9, 2010 | No Comments
    Wow, that didn't take long! A couple days ago, you were paying $50 to take this thing home, but AT&T has moved perhaps quicker than any carrier in memory to adjust pricing on the Pixi Plus down to a more reasonable $0 -- on contract after rebates, of course. The only catch appears to be that you'll have to sign up for a data plan of at least $15, which corresponds to the carrier's recently-introduced DataPlus package that includes 200MB per month with overage of $15 per additional 200MB. That might seem low for your average power user on your average smartphone -- but this is a Pixi Plus we're talking about here.

    [Thanks, Allen]

    Attention to detail is a character quality that most people live without. Even most companies lack it. However, there are some times when you see a new product that just takes detail to the next level. If you can appreciate such craft, then check out this mouse pad.

    Google TV Unveiled. It’s All About The Ad Reach

    Posted on May 20, 2010 | No Comments
    Today at Google I/O, the company made the announcement that everyone was waiting for — Google TV. While some glitches in the demo (with the Bluetooth keyboard) prevented it from being a “wow” moment, the implications are pretty clear what Google is going for. That is, the 4 billion TV users worldwide. Or rather, advertising [...]

    This lady hates Avatar, James Cameron and his mom (really)

    Wow, this woman knows how to hate. She could write a book on hate that would outsell the classic Guide To Proper Hating by Brandon Barbee. 10 bucks says she loved Dancing with Wolves, though.

    Waiting for the World of Warcraft movie? Prepare to keep waiting. A recent interview revealed that the movie is still in the super early stages of pre-production. They're still going over the story at meetings, still trying to figure out how to adapt the entire Warcraft universe to the big screen. Movies take a long time to create.

  • The iPhone Leak Gets Ugly: Police Raid Gizmodo Editor’s House, Confiscate Computers

    The iPhone Leak Gets Ugly: Police Raid Gizmodo Editor’s House, Confiscate Computers

    Posted on April 26, 2010 | No Comments
    Wow. Last week, Gizmodo published a massive scoop when they got their hands on what is mostly likely the next iPhone. At the time there was plenty of talk about the legality of Gizmodo's actions (as they admitted to paying $5000 for the device). Now Gizmodo has just published a post saying that editor Jason Chen had four of his computers and two servers confiscated by California's Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team, who entered the house with a search warrant. Gawker's COO has responded to the actions by citing California Penal Code 1524(g), which states that "no warrant shall issue for any items described in Section 1070 of the Evidence Code", which protects information used by reporters.

    Wow, someone has been tricked into making a Red Faction movie. That blows my mind. I base this on the first Red Faction for the PS2, which I don't recall enjoying at all. Maybe it'll be the first time we say the opposite of, "Eh, the book was better."

    So you thought OK Go was a one trick pony, right? They did the old treadmill trick and we were all like “Wow! Amazing!” but take a look at this action. These guys basically recorded this in a single shot, arriving in their places with just as all sorts of crazy things happen. Seriously: color me [...]

    Quick look at the Creative WoW headset

    We have a few WoW players on staff here and they've been pretty excited about this headset. That said, I got a chance to take a look at them and I'm quite pleased. The styling is great and the light-up logos on the sides add a fun way to identify yourself in a crowded LAN party. The wireless version is $159 and the wired is $119 and they should be available in March. Click through for video.

    Holy wow. Remember this game? You were some kid named Jason with a frog. The frog turns into a monster and then disappears and you follow the frog in a battle tank called Sofia the Third (WTF, right?). Well, the game has been remade and is coming to Wiiware. All of the goodness is there [...]

    Holy wow! Relive the 1990s with the Palm m500 PDA in "good condition" for $19.99. That's right. That's like $300 less than you would have paid back in the days we still thought Palm Pilots were solid gold!

    SteelSeries asks: You know the goody bag given out at the end of fancy events?

    Jimin-with-the-big-FLAC-collection and I met with one of the SteelSeries guys today. It's funny: you think you understand where a company's coming from, but then you sit down and actually talk to them and it's like, “Wow, OK, you guys are pretty cool.” So to the people who will walk out of Sunday's Grammy Awards with one of those fancy gift bags you always hear about, I can say this: you'll probably enjoy the SteelSeries headphones you find in there.
