I have to admit, these designer hard drive cases are very cool...well, that is until you see the ridiculously high price tag on them.

Apple 3G iPhones Prone To Cracking?
The MacRumors forums are packed full of people with 3G iPhones with cracks in them. iPhone owners are speculating that the damage could be caused by everything from heat issues to faulty case castings. It reminds me of all the cracked Nintendo DS hinges a while back.
Google: "Complete Privacy Does Not Exist"
Arguing that technology has ensured that "complete privacy does not exist," Google contends that a Pennsylvania family has no legal grounds to sue the search giant for publishing photos of their home on its popular "Street View" mapping feature.
Responding to an invasion of privacy lawsuit filed by Aaron and Christine Boring, Google has countered that the couple "live in a residential community in the twenty-first-century United States, where every step upon private property is not deemed by law to be an actionable trespass."
Ripe Fresh Pineapples

Say So Long to an Old Companion: Cassette Tapes
While the cassette was dumped long ago by the music industry, it has lived on among publishers of audio books. Many people prefer cassettes because they make it easy to pick up in the same place where the listener left off, or to rewind in case a certain sentence is missed.
For Hachette, however, demand had slowed so much that it released its last book on cassette in June, with “Sail,” a novel by James Patterson and Howard Roughan.
Microsoft Releases “Mojave Experiment” Videos
Remember that “Mojave Experiement” we told you about the other day where Microsoft took people with negative views of Vista and let them try what they thought was a new operating system called Mojave?
Well the videos are out and they pretty much cement what most of our forum members have been saying all along. Hit the link below for the continued discussion.

Dazzling Multi Monitor Setups You Wish You Had
If you have ever used a computer that had more than one monitor or a computer with a very big monitor attached to it, it’s hard to go back to using just one little monitor. Now imagine using one of the huge gigantic multi monitor setups below. Going back to even two or three monitors would feel extremely small in comparison.
Mowna Lisa into the Suburban Garden Lawn
Tania Ledger from Croydon in south London employed a 3D art expert who reconstructed the famous painting for the The Da Vinci Code film to do the same in her garden. Chris Naylor took two days to replicate Leonardo Da Vinci’s masterpiece in grass, using a small lawnmower and a handful of garden tools.
The design will grow out within a few weeks but Mrs Ledger, 48, says that is what made the project so exciting.

The Real Story of HDTV Standards and Lack Thereof
Popular Mechanics has a great article on the lack of HDTV standards from broadcasters. I know I’m pretty annoyed when several of the “HD” channels in my provider’s lineup are nothing more than an ugly upconvert of a SD signal. If you need proof of this, watch a show on Discovery’s HD Theater and then flip to something on TNT HD or another channel that broadcasts a lot of upconverts.
In order to qualify as hi-def, a signal must have either 720 horizontal lines of progressively scanned pixels (720p), 1080 lines of interlaced pixels (1080i) or 1080 lines of progressively scanned pixels (1080p, which nobody even broadcasts yet.) But there's a whole lot more to the quality of digital television than the number of pixels present. After all, 1080 lines of poor-quality pixels may technically be "high-definition," but that doesn't mean it looks very good.

Coolest Cake Ever! Millenium Falcon
This blog talks about a surprise birthday party and what we care about is the picture at the start of the entry. Yep, that’s a Millenium Falcon cake. Charm City Cakes in Baltimore, MD (Ace of Cakes is filmed there) created the incredible masterpiece of Star Wars geekery and cake artistry. You’ll see them making it in a future episode of the show.
Stainless Steel Spiders from Stolen Scissors
In the past year, the Transportation Security Administration has confiscated over 8 million items, including guns, knives, narcotics, cuticle scissors, mousse, pudding, and bottled water. I have obtained some of the TSA-confiscated scissors, and they inspired me.
The TSA officially allows scissors with blades less than four inches. But the individual officers have the authority to disallow anything they think poses a potential threat. These scissors all belong in that grey area between what should be allowed on the plane, and what wasn’t allowed.
Apple and a Culture of Secrecy
The New York Times has an article about the recent speculation in to Steve Jobs’ health and Apple’s stonewalling of the press with the statement: “Steve’s health is a private matter.” Though privacy is a serious matter, when it involves the CEO who is a very public face of the company, corporate disclosure becomes a factor. It’s an interesting read, especially the conclusion.
On Thursday afternoon, several hours after I’d gotten my final “Steve’s health is a private matter” — and much to my amazement — Mr. Jobs called me. “This is Steve Jobs,” he began. “You think I’m an arrogant [expletive] who thinks he’s above the law, and I think you’re a slime bucket who gets most of his facts wrong.”

How about a Vista, Halo 3, or GTA IV casket?
While “themed” coffins is nothing new, biodegradable coffins with an iPhone theme are. While I can think of a bunch of people that should be buried in coffins like this, I’m not sold on the whole cardboard aspect. Blame our weekend news guy Terry for this one.
How many people would want to be buried in a coffin made to resemble an iPhone? Surely all those fanboys literally can't live without their Apple handsets? Wouldn't it be apt to be ensconced in a Microsoft Vista desktop wallpaper coffin, after having a heart attack from seeing one too many Blue Screens Of Death? Maybe those who had a killer case of D-pad thumb would fancy one styled after a Super Nintendo controller?
Mojave - Vista Haters Actually Like Vista
It looks as though Microsoft is tired of being the butt of every anti-Vista Apple ad and is finally doing something about it. Microsoft has rounded up Windows XP users that had negative impressions of Vista and showed them “Mojave.”
After 90% of the focus group said they liked the new OS, they were told it was actually Windows Vista. A video of the event will be distributed sometime later this month. Not really groundbreaking but it is a start.
Spurred by an e-mail from someone deep in the marketing ranks, Microsoft last week traveled to San Francisco, rounding up Windows XP users who had negative impressions of Vista. The subjects were put on video, asked about their Vista impressions, and then shown a "new" operating system, code-named Mojave. More than 90 percent gave positive feedback on what they saw. Then they were told that "Mojave" was actually Windows Vista.
View the Forum CollectionOnline Banking Has Widespread Security Flaws
With all the bad news about online banking and security flaws, I thought I would give you guys some good news for a change. Wait…this isn’t good news, this is more bad news….oops. I guess if there was any good news in all of this it’d be that your bank isn’t the only one at risk. O.K., I’ll shut up now.
The security holes stem from the flow and the layout of these Web sites, according to their study. The flaws include placing log-in boxes and contact information on insecure Web pages as well as failing to keep users on the site they initially visited.
Love Padlocks - Florence, Italy
Beginning in the 1980s, in the centre of the southern Hungarian city of Pécs, lovers began to clamp padlocks to a wrought-iron fence in a narrow street linking the mosque in the city's main square and the magnificent medieval cathedral, as a symbol of their commitment to one another. However, after the fence was completely covered and no more padlocks could be added, couples, both locals and tourists, began attaching them to fences and statues throughout the town centre.
Local authorities organised several attempts to discourage people from attaching the padlocks, by putting notices discouraging the activity throughout the town and removing the padlocks as vandalism. More recently, plans have been made to add a new iron fence near to the original to provide a legal site for couples to attach love padlocks, similar to walls set aside by authorities in some cities for use by graffiti artists.
These photos were taken in In Florence, Italy, where love padlocks have been affixed to the railing around and near the statue of Benvenuto Cellini located at the centre of the Ponte Vecchio.

Blood Puddle Pillow
This pillow is a hint of pure genius. Designed to look like a splattered puddle of blood under your head. In the images it looks pretty realistic and could be a really cruel joke to pull on your family.
Although your wife will probably make you take your blood pillow and sleep on the couch for a few weeks after this. For even more realism, sleep with a gun in your hands and lay like one of those corpse chalk prints. Extra points for more than one scream!

First "American" Map to Go on Display
As the U.S. Library of Congress readies the first map to use the name "America" for its public debut, some researchers are wondering where in the world the mapmaker got his information.
The world map, created by German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller in 1507, is the first document to show a separate Western Hemisphere and label the Pacific Ocean as its own body of water.

Apple Plans Mystery "Product Transition"
Apple, still reeling from its recent stock drop has announced plans for a mysterious product transition before the end of September. No other details were given.
While notions of what this transition entails are likely to become clearer soon, several product categories are just now reaching the ends of their typical cycles, with updated MacBooks, the Mac mini, and new iPods all due for refreshes or replacements in the near future.
Extraterrestrial Highway - State Route 375
State Route 375 (now also officially known as the Extraterrestrial Highway) is a two lane highway in south-central Nevada in the United States. The highway stretches 98 miles from Warm Springs at US 6 to Crystal Springs at State Route 318. The highway is on the eastern edge of the Nellis Air Force Range.
The name Extraterrestrial Highway alludes to the top-secret (but much noted in popular culture) Area 51 government base located nearby. Many UFO observations have been reported by travelers on this road over the years. The town of Rachel is located on the Extraterrestrial Highway, and is home to a UFO research group, a restaurant, and a few shops. Rachel receives tourism all year round thanks to its proximity to Area 51. However, only "an average of about 200 cars drive some portion of the Extraterrestrial Highway every day, making it one of the state’s least traveled routes."

The Japanese Wii Safety Manual is Crazy
This crazy Japanese Wii safety manual is pretty much indicative of Japanese people's general insanity. Our theory: a secret battle between Godzilla and several Gundams in the early 1980s bombarded the whole of Japan with cosmic G-rays, which allowed then-youths to grow up and draw these weird-ass manuals.
Do not remove the four leaf clover from your Wii. It is Nintendo's secret to motion sensing.
Apocalyptic Fantasy | Statue of Liberty
While writing the post, in connection with Ryan's theory that the most salient feature of apocalypse in science fiction is the way in which the same images are simply repackaged for us over and over again, I was struck by the recurrence of a ruined Statue of Liberty as perhaps the quintessential icon of disaster since the 1940s.

Langford's Homebuilt Airplane & Online Builder's Manual
This is my version of the KR2S. Well, I guess it's not really a KR2S anymore...it has been modified in almost every conceivable way, with only the basic fuselage shape retained. I'm using different airfoils for all flight surfaces, different flap and aileron planforms to increase control effectiveness, redesigned control system, Dragonfly canopy, lots of aerodynamic details for maximum efficiency, and an engine that's almost twice as powerful as the plans call for.
It's far from complete, but I've started flying it anyway! It's only painted on the bottom, and that's mainly so oil won't soak into the primer and make paint adhesion difficult later on. I'm flying it in urethane primer for a year or so (or three or four), so if there are any modifications, I won't have to ruin the paint to do them. I'm already happy that I haven't painted it, because I've added ram air to the cowling, and will add nav lights and strobes over the winter, one of these years. There are several areas where the body still needs work, but at least I can fly it now! This plane will be an experimental test bed for even more improvements to the design, including tufting and wing tip optimization.
Inside the Tokyo Traffic Control Center
Tokyo traffic can be crazy. Perhaps not as crazy as it is frustrating, but it’s certainly a lot easier to get through the mess on a Monkey rather than in a car.
However, despite our gripes about traffic lights that seem very poorly timed, it turns out that the entire system is much more centralized than we could have imagined.

Our goals are to keep it simple to use (search, preview and download) and to keep it free.
Piracy and the Underground Economy
I have heard some off-the-wall rationalizations for piracy before but this one takes the cake. The article takes the “I’m poor, I have to steal” to an astounding new level by suggesting that piracy supports whole countries so it is okay. Huh?!?!
In the Philippines, as in many other Asian countries, piracy isn't a matter of right or wrong; it's a matter of survival. To eradicate piracy means depriving people of jobs generated by this underground economy. It means eradicating the businesses that employ them and negating the taxes funneled to the Philippine government.

The Rolling Exhibition
Everyone tries to create a story in their heads to explain the things that baffle them. For the same reason we want to know how a magic trick works, or how mystery novel ends, we want to know how someone different, strange, or disfigured came to be as they are. Everyone does it. It's natural. It's curiosity.
1 year ago I was asked by a little boy in Christchurch, New Zealand if I had been eaten by a shark.

The report also says for the first time in US history, more than one in every 100 American adults is confined in a prison or jail.

iPhone gets Adult Treatment
PrOn studio Digital Playground is claiming the first iPhone-friendly web site that will allow subscribers to instantly stream content and get “full-frame views that do not require any scrolling and zooming.” I guess this would put a new spin on the iPhone’s multi-touch display.
Joone, founder of Digital Playground, said that the company began developing the iPhone compatible version of site a year ago. “We've always had the goal of making our content available in as many places as possible,” we have said.
Woz Cut In Line For iPhone?
So the big hubbub this morning is that Steve Wozniak didn’t really wait in line for an iPhone, he actually cut in front of the line to get his. Now, I know this may be the biggest controversy since that kid cut in front of you in the fourth grade at lunch BUT there is a bigger controversy at work here. What controversy is that? The fact that the Woz doesn’t automatically get an iPhone sent to him is a travesty / tragedy / conspiracy all in itself. I know most of you would have given up your spot to the Woz anyhow, I would have.
In fact, according to Doug and Patrice Broussard, Woz actually never waited in line at all. The couple, who were there, said the Apple co-founder lounged on some of the mall's nearby sofas for about four hours and then ambled up to the front of the queue when the store opened at 8 a.m and simply cut in line. No discussion.
The Man Behind 4Chan | Christopher Poole
The Wall Street Journal did a bit this week on 4Chan and its creator, Christopher Poole. I wonder if the author delved into /b/ or some of the other “interesting” boards before pointing WSJ readers to the site.
Mr. Poole originally just wanted a place to share his fascination with Japanese comics and television shows. He was a fan of the popular Japanese image Web site 2chan and wanted to create a version for American audiences. With his mother's approval, he used her credit card to purchase server space and started 4chan.org.

No Plan to Price Drop PlayStation 3 Price Cut
Sony has no plan to cut the price of its PlayStation 3 game console, the company's chief financial officer Nobuyuki Oneda said Friday. "This year, our strategy is not to sell more quantity for PS3 but to concentrate on profitability," Oneda told a forum in Singapore. "Our plan is not to reduce the price."
Hacker Sentenced to 2 Years for MySpace Stalking
What kind of idiot hacks into someone’s PC, then stalks the person they hacked before eventually trying to extort the victim for nude photos? Sheesh, what a creepy bastard, he should do just fine imprison.
Weinberg was arrested by LAPD detectives in Southern California in January, following a weeks-long police investigation aided by victim Amor Hilton -- a teenage MySpace user who had a popular video streaming show on Stickam.com.
7 Abandoned Wonders of the European Union
The European Union may appear on the surface to be a unified body but underneath each member country retains a unique and complex history. The rich stories of individual European nations can be read in part through the amazing abandoned buildings found across the continent.
It is truly remarkable how intact some of these structures are even after centuries. From Finland to France, Belgium to Denmark and Poland to England here are seven amazing abandonments from all over Europe.

Fluorescent Field
Realized in February while he was Artist-in-Residence of the Physics Department at Bristol University, the project involved over a thousand fluorescent bulbs “planted” underneath high voltage AC transmission lines. Unwired, the bulbs drew energy from the surrounding electromagnetic radiation and lit up, making for what must have been a marvelous sight.
The FIELD of tubes will flicker in to life across the hillside as the early evening light fades. The performance each evening is hard to anticipate as the daily operation of the electricity supply will differ and is always dependent on the weather.
IBM’s Power7 Chip has 8 Cores, 4.0GHz Speed
IBM is working on a new chip that will have 8 cores clocked at 4.0GHz and will support 4 threads per core. Called the “Power7,” each chip can push 256 gigaflops and they are being arranged in dual-chip modules. The chip will be the core of the “Blue Waters” system that IBM is building for the NCSA in 2011. Wowza!
We've got documents showing IBM going after a 10 petaflop system (peak) comprised of 38,900 eight-core Power7 chips with each chip running at 4.0GHz. This monster will have an astonishing 620TB of memory and 5PB/s of memory bandwidth. According to the documents, IBM will rely on a 1.30PB/s interconnect to link the systems and will feed them with 26PB of storage. As if that's not enough, IBM will offer an exabyte of archival storage.
E3 '08: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
With the initial shock of its announcement now gone, Midway's upcoming Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe stands as one of the most anticipated entries in the Mortal Kombat series in quite a while. The promise of a revamped fighting system, a graphics makeover, and the chance to play as DC Comics characters such as Superman and Batman definitely has undeniable appeal.
Caption This | MoPo Forum
Here's a great caption from MoPo Forum member Righteous.
The webmaster of the abrasive website "danish-police-are-idiots.com" turned out to be a 15-year old boy named Harald Rasmussen, who when caught was forced to slowly and painstakingly teach his accusers how to use the Windows Explorer search function in an effort to gather evidence against him. Ironically, the three of them were unable to find any, which Harald thought certainly proved his website's name and premise to be more than accurate.

Back to the Future McFly Sneakers Going for $2,000
The limited edition Back to the Future Nike basketball sneakers are available now. You can get yours on eBay, where prices are going from $600 to $2,000. That is serious dollar gigawattage for a pair of sneakers, even if they look great out of the box, as you can see in the mega-gallery.

Dual Screen Laptop Coming In 2010
Alright, I’ll admit it, even though this thing resembles an oversized Nintendo DS for grown-ups, it still looks pretty damn sweet. The bad news? They won’t be here for another two years if everything goes right.
Women More Frustrated By Computers Than Men
Straight from the “I could have told you that” department comes this recent survey that says damn near everything about computers frustrates women more than men, including the internet.
The highest frustration levels are understandably brought on by computer crashes, which cause frustration in 77% of the men and 85% of the women. This is followed by slow load times for web pages, which frustrate 56% of the men and 66% of the women, and Internet advertising, which frustrates 47% of the men and 52% of the women.
Hydrogen Refuel Station Unveiled
A hydrogen refuelling station which could be installed in the home as an alternative to visiting a petrol station has been unveiled.
Users will need a hydrogen-powered car to go with it although the system can also be used for heating and cooking. Hydrogen has long been touted as an alternative energy source to carbon-hungry fossil fuels.
One of the biggest obstacles to wider adoption of fuel-cell vehicles is the lack of hydrogen fuelling stations.
Snake Girl Extreme Contortionist
Most women couldn't speak with one foot on their head, let alone both, but not Lunga. She chatters away in a tight green snake costume, swaying but not falling over, flexing her super-supple body like a python.

The Subterranean Farms of Tokyo
While we're on the subject of things agricultural and of things covered by just about everyone long before today, there is Pasona O2, a subterranean farm cultivated inside a former bank vault beneath a high rise building in one of Tokyo's business districts.
65 things that look like Pac-Man
Pac-Man's got to be right up there with Mario as one of the most recognisable videogame characters of all time. And because his basic design is simple, you can see him everywhere. Whenever you take a slice of pizza or cut a segment from a cake, he's there. Then the noise starts to go in your head: waka waka waka waka waka…
Xbox 360 Pro Price Drop $50 Cut On July 13
A GameStop employee has sent us cell pics of the internal announcement for the coming Xbox 360 Pro price drop announcement. They also included pics of the shelf art all of which will go on display on July 13, the day before E3 kicks off with Microsoft's press conference.
So, while still not official, it seem pretty clear that come Sunday you'll be able to pick up an Xbox 360 Pro (aka Premium) for a penny shy of $300.
If true, I can't help but think that this means that Microsoft wanted to clear the decks of pricing news to make room for something more interesting, or at least they want more attention on, come their press conference. Motion controls? Minority-Report-like interface? Who knows.
More Geek Words Added To Dictionary
The Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary is adding a new new geek-inspired words like fanboy, pretexting, webinar, malware and netroots.
Webinar is "one more example of the significant ongoing trend for electronic technologies to add words to the language," Merriam-Webster publisher John Morse said in a Monday press release about the 100 or so new words in the 2008 edition of the influential reference guide.
Oldest Surviving Map of Britain - 1360
Your'e looking at the oldest surviving map of Britain, dating from around 1360. And, give or take a bit of poetic licence north of the border, it's startlingly accurate.There are the Severn, Thames and Humber, the loop of the Wear in Durham and the Thames estuary, all easily recognisable.
Ahem.... What an odd shape.
Over 10,000 Laptops Per Week Stolen At Airports
Close to 10,278 laptops are reported lost every week at 36 of the largest U.S. airports, and 65 percent of those laptops are not reclaimed, the survey said. Around 2,000 laptops are recorded lost at the medium-sized airports, and 69 percent are not reclaimed.
Travelers seem to lack confidence that they will recover lost laptops. About 77 percent of people surveyed said they had no hope of recovering a lost laptop at the airport, with 16 percent saying they wouldn't do anything if they lost their laptop during business travel. About 53 percent said that laptops contain confidential company information, with 65 percent taking no steps to protect the information.
Recycle Your Tires Into…Chairs? Re-Tyre
You have to admit, the idea of turning an old tire into a chair is kinda cool, especially when you burn through as many sets as I do each summer. A set of used BFGoodrich G-Force T/A KDWs would look awesome repurposed into a set of chairs.
Re-Tyre by Carl Menary is a product born out of the environmental dilemma of disposing of scrap tyres. The design is an alternative to burning, converting the scrap tyres into outdoor furniture with minimal resources and energy. This eco friendly furniture is formed from one truck tyre, which is folded and fixed with two recycle wheel bolt assemblies to become a comfortable outdoor seat.
Human Mirror On a Subway
I explained the mission to everyone. We would get on the 6 train at the start of the line at Brooklyn Bridge and the twins would sit on either side of the car, directly across from their sibling.
Once in place, their job would be to mirror each other as closely as possible. If one scratches his head, so should the other. If anyone asked them what was going on, they should claim not to notice anything unusual and not to even be able to see their sibling.
Army Designates Year's Best Inventions
The U.S. Army has just handed out its awards for the top inventions for 2007. Some of the stuff on the list is pretty damn impressive.
Every spring, the U.S. Army designates a set of top inventions from the preceding year. Rather than radical, out-of-the-blue creations, the list tends more toward refinements on existing gear, but that doesn't make them any less significant for the soldiers who use that gear in battlefield conditions.

Airports Want Shockbands On Passengers?
If this wasn’t posted by The Washington Times, I would think it was a practical joke. C’mon, are airports really considering wrist bands that shock passengers into submission?
The Electronic ID Bracelet, as it’s referred to as, would be worn by every traveler “until they disembark the flight at their destination.” Yes, you read that correctly. Every airline passenger would be tracked by a government-funded GPS, containing personal, private and confidential information, and that it would shock the customer worse than an electronic dog collar if he/she got out of line?

Excuses: Trying to Get Out of Traffic Tickets
Here's the craziest excuses Kitsap County cops have actually received (that's worth repeating — these are real) when they ask the motorist: "Why were you speeding?"
"I didn't know I was, because my lights are off."
"I'm taking my friend to the hospital. He has alcohol poisoning." (The driver was drunk, too).
After crashing: "I put supreme gas in the car, which caused me to lose control." (He, too, was found to be drunk.)
"Don't I get a couple over when I am taking my grandkids to the airport?"
"I get 10 extra in the fast lane."
"My speedometer is broken."
"Gas pedal got stuck."
"I'm trying to catch that UFO. Can you try to catch it for me?"
“Unbreakable” Data Encryption Challenge
Permanent Privacy announced that they have the world’s first practical data encryption system that is absolutely unbreakable. They’re so sure of this that they’re offering $1 million USD to anyone that can crack it. Break out your decoder ring and Enigma machine and get “crackin’!”
Permanent Privacy has been verified by Peter Schweitzer, one of Harvard's top cryptanalysts, and for the inevitable cynics Permanent Privacy is offering $1,000,000 to anyone who can decipher a sample of ciphertext.
Send Barack Your Baby
Barack Obama travels a lot, but many babies live in places he hasn’t been. That’s why he’s now accepting babies by mail. Send him your baby, and he’ll kiss it and send it back to you.
Man Trapped in Chastity Belt
A RED-faced lover had to be cut free by fire-fighters after locking himself into a metal chastity belt then losing the key.
The crew spent nearly an hour using three high-powered machines to saw through the chasity belt – as the man passed out.
Apple Mac Market Share Grows by 32%
Net Applications reports that Apple’s OS market share increased by nearly 1/3 in the last year: up to 7.94% vs 6.03% a year ago. Vista and Linux also increased their share while Windows XP and Win2000 both dropped. All is not rosy for Microsoft in these metrics however.
While Windows Vista's 256% increase in market share over the last 12 months significantly outpaced Mac OS X's gains, Windows' overall June total was down 2.45 percentage points from the year before, indicating that Vista was replacing XP, not adding to Microsoft's share.

What Happens To Your Body When You Drink Coke?
Have you ever wondered why Coke comes with a smile? It’s because it gets you high. They took the cocaine out almost a hundred years ago. You know why? It was redundant.
In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to keep it down.
20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)
40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centers of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.
60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
I played WoW, I became a terrorist
This … is going to be a long one. And believe it or not, it’s a 100% true story. Its relation to World of Warcraft will not be immediately apparent.
It all started when I got out of my seat to go to the bathroom. I went to the bathroom, washed my hands, and returned to my seat. A little while later the two stewardesses on the flight crossed each other in the aisle. They had a quick conversation that I was in earshot of…….
Are Some People Mosquito Magnets?
After this weekend's barbeques and fireworks displays, you might wonder why some people wind up covered in mosquito welts and others are bite-free. It's not a coincidence. Each person's individual body chemistry determines how many mosquitoes will come calling.
Platypus
The Platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is a semi-aquatic mammal endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. Together with the echidna, it is one of the five extant species of monotremes, they are the only mammals that lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. It is the sole living representative of its family (Ornithorhynchidae) and genus (Ornithorhynchus), though a number of related species have been found in the fossil record.

The Ladies Of Team Fortress 2
Deviant Art member *ghostfire created a truly inspired all-girl version of the Team Fortress 2 characters that has to be seen to be appreciated.
Dear god, I don't think I want to open this file up again for at least a month. Each individual character was done so I could print them at 11x14 inches, so when combined into one, the file bloated to over half a gigabyte!
Apple’s Recent Hand Gesture Patent
Apple’s recent patent application for gesture learning has so many combinations that you may be violating their patent if you; wave “hi,” give the thumbs up, get a hand cramp, use the shocker or flip off your MacBook Pro (flipping off your Windows PC is still okay).
The new patent application from Cupertino, called “Gesture learning” gives a whole new meaning to gesture expansion. It describes how Apple may go about teaching you a whole new multi-touch gesture language, consisting of hundreds of words. Something like American Sign Language for touchscreens.

Earth emits an ear-piercing series of chirps and whistles that could be heard by any aliens who might be listening, astronomers have discovered. The sound is awful, a new recording from space reveals.

Doramad Radioactive Toothpaste (ca. 1940-1945)
Doramad radioactive toothpaste was produced during World War II by Auergesellschaft of Berlin. The same company founded by Carl Auer von Welsbach who invented the gas lantern mantle!
A gamma spectroscopy analysis did reveal trace quantities of thorium, but the levels are too low to be detected with a simple hand-held survey meter. For the story behind this toothpaste, and it is an interesting one.
GTA IV Reviewed by Pulitzer Prize Winner
This ain’t your average website review. 2008 Fiction Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Diaz reviewed GTA IV for the Wall Street Journal and has a lot to say. I thought the review was very well done and interesting to read. What do you think?
GTA IV is brilliant, but despite what virtually all the reviews claim, it ain't the revolution. If you played GTA III or higher, GTA IV won't exactly catapult you to higher plane of existence or induce metanoia. GTA III was the revolution, and established the grammar for the franchise.
