Microsoft Surface = Big-ass Table

A funny parody of their commercial:

Robotic Poo that Sweats on You!!

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

It’s a disgusting looking blob that sweats on you. Awesome. First the iPhone, now this. We do indeed live in exciting times.
Pretty far out, we know, but this creepy piece of blubber reportedly feels like rubber to the touch, and thanks to the integrated touch sensors, an internal water pump allows the pores to [...]

Geeked-out Nursery

Monday, June 4th, 2007

Silicon Valley parents buy a Cray supercomputer, as well as other nerd regalia, to appoint the nursery of their son.  Lots of pics.  I had never actually seen a Cray before.  I had no idea they were so……Tron-a-licious.  Now I want one.
And yes, they named the kid Edison.  I’m certain he will turn out to [...]

OK there is a video now of the robot I mentioned in an earlier post:

Embedding not allowed, so click the link if you wanna be disturbed. It makes freakish noises, too.  These are dark times.

Reality is Virtual

Step 1: Read THIS article.
Step 2: Read Snow Crash
Step 3: Shudder. Whether in fear, or in anticipation, will depend upon your predilections.

iPod Amnesty Bin at Microsoft

Friday, May 25th, 2007

Heehee……are they being a little optimistic with the size of that box?
Diane thought maybe the iPods could be donated to the musically challenged, but if they’re loaded with music from Microsoft coders, I can’t imagine it would help any.
From Engadget:
Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable Video
Man, you gotta love it when Apple and Microsoft take [...]

Ghetto-Segway

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

“Called the Hubo-Way, the scooter balances when stopped, turns when leaning, and comes with a free copy of Starcraft 2. Well, not really, but 75% of South Korea just got erections. Yes, including the women. “– Jason Chen[Gizmodo]
I wonder what “Hubo” means in Korean.  Maybe “Wal-Mart?”

$500 flashlight

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

I have always had a strange flashlight fetish. I buy two or three per year, and usually lose them before the first set of batteries runs down. I don’t think I’ll be getting this one.
From Gizmodo:
Kick-ass cop flashlight company Surefire has outdone itself at this gorgeous titanium flashlight it calls the Titan. [...]

FusionCharts!!

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Just found this little web app, and wanted to test it out. It was all I could come with on short notice….hehe….I included puppies as a baseline. Oh, yeah, and my hate is just a little on the extra-high side today for Hannity, after watching the Hitchens vid.[FusionCharts]

Bloggers take 4-billion-dollar bite out of Apple

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Well, temporarily, anyway.
Engadget erroneously reported, based on a bogus “internal Apple email,” that both the iPhone and the Leopard OS would be seriously delayed. By the end of the day, Apple was relatively unaffected, but obviously, somebody lost some money. My question is, who made money here? I wonder if there [...]
