Now this is getting good. It seems that Microsoft has set up those “I’m a PC” recording booths…in front of Apple stores. I know I shouldn’t laugh….wait, yes I should...and you should too!
GPS enabled lingerie? Ummm, I got $5 that says your ass is kicked if you even attempt to give your significant other something like this. On top of that, if you are married and tell your wife you spent $1,100 on something like this….they’ll need the GPS to find your body.
Unconcerned with the controversy her new collection has raised, Iorio is also dismissive of the global financial crisis and its adverse impact on luxury items sales since the GPS lingerie retails from a cool $US800 ($1200), with a standard Global Positioning System, to $US1100 ($1650) with a more advanced model.

If you have more money than brains, these gold plated PCs are for you! System specs include a Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, a 1TB hard drive and a wimpy GeForce 8600 GT. I like how the advertisment talks about the PC in first person:
I am gold. I am two. I am ceramic. I was made by hand moulded and shaped and glazed. I am unique. I am like a sculpture, a vase, a bowl. There is no other like me. We are linked like a Siamese twin. I am a computer.
There’s an Instructable on how to do it yourself with the help of a friend! Okay, not really. The article just discusses the things to consider if you’re interested in getting it done. Here are some suggested steps from Geekologie.
1. Find a pair of scissors. The sharper the better. The scissors you have from kindergarten should be fine. 2 Score some rubbing alcohol. Take a few shots. 3. Ask yourself, “Do I really want elf ears?” If the answer is no, repeat step 2, possibly alternating shots and bong hits. 4. Cut a triangular chunk out of your upper ear. You should be bleeding at this point. 5. Sterilize a needle with a lighter, thread with fishing line or yarn, and sew your ear back together in the desired shape. 6. Put some tape around your ear to hold it together and prevent strain on the stitches. 7. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for the other ear. 8. Take a picture, preferably topless. 9. If you are a chick, send me that picture. If you are a dude, throw it away, I don’t care about your elf ears. 10. If you are hot, I will marry you. 11. Change your name to Zelda.
A douchebag wrecked a Ferrari worth $250,000, but escaped serious injury, when he crashed into a power pole at Walkerville, in Adelaide, today. The driver and his passenger have been taken to Royal Adelaide Hospital for treatment after the accident just before noon, AdelaideNow reports.
Both men walked from the wreckage, leaving the expensive five-year-old 360 Modena model literally wrapped around the pole on Lansdowne Ave.

What do you get when you cross an iPod with a bracelet and a that pump thing from one of Nike's shoes? This iBangle bracelet concept. If Apple doesn’t hire this guy and make this, someone else should.
What are the top 11 signs you are the geekiest person at your class reunion? BBSpot knows and they made a list. Sure, you are laughing now, just wait until one of these things on the list actually happens to you.
9. You make jokes about binary that no one gets about being at the 10 year reunion 8 years ago, but nobody was there.
I saw this yesterday and thought it had to be a joke. Who in their right mind would believe that unwinding regular tape would emit powerful X-rays? The video below shows a man taking an X-ray of his finger by holding it over a roll of tape as it is being unraveled:
Microsoft has matched the amount of reward money for the kid that ran away after his parents took his Xbox 360 away. Hopefully this will help get the kid back home.
"Like everyone, we are deeply worried about the disappearance of Brandon Crisp," the company said in an email. "Law enforcement has contacted Microsoft about this matter and we are co-operating fully with them. We are unable to comment further on the nature of our co-operation because of the ongoing investigation."
It seems people don’t like it when you circulate an e-mail accusing them of a crime when all they tried to do was buy something from your store. Hopefully this woman has fun spending the $3.1 million in a different store.
A federal jury has ordered Target Corp. to pay a Greer woman $3.1 million after the jury found that the company distributed information that wrongly accused her of trying to pass a counterfeit bill while shopping.
RF modules in your house? In your purse or backpack? Wallet? In your t-shirt? In your brain? Apple is trying to patent them. There is even a nifty tech drawing listed as part of the patent application. Beware, the drawing is rather technical and may be hard for some PC users to comprehend on their own:
It is impossible not to feel sad for this lady but, at the same time, you can’t help laughing either. Holtan said she had sent over $12,507 to these people since July 7. She told police she had gotten the majority of the money by "borrowing" it from her employer. She said she took it with the intention of repaying the money upon receipt of her $10 million.
There is an amazing new e-book reader out that is slimmer than all other readers and has almost unlimited battery life. The best part, it is eco-friendly and costs next to nothing.
Halloween is upon us and what better way to scare off the evil spirits than with a carving of a moon... wait, that's not a moon. Check out this gallery of other Star Wars-inspired pumpkin carvings. Pretty cool.
You don't need a lightsaber to carve a Star Wars jack-o'-lantern. All it takes to create your own Jedi-approved Halloween decoration is a pumpkin, a few tools and a little inspiration from one sci-fi's most beloved franchises.

Independent of their construction and performance stats, we salute Burton for this sexy little gimmick… From $430, this series of 4 Love snowboards is available online at your favorite web snowboard store with more details available on Burton’s website.
We all know the Internet is pretty cool. It can give you everything from directions to the nearest tapas restaurant to multiple videos of flaming midget hamster trapeze porn. But a new study just found that only 74% of men prefer sex over the Internet. I’m sorry, but those numbers made me LOLcopter until I ROFLwaffles because those pwned n00bs were so WTF. (OMG!)
You've got to love Steve Ballmer. Now Bill Gates is stepping down from the day-to-day running of Microsoft to concentrate on being a full-time good guy, Ballmer is pretty much in charge at Redmond. Anyone who saw his monkey dance will know why that's a little scary.
The Museum Of Bad Art (MOBA) is the world's only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms.
Autumn is here - a time for transition. In the northern hemisphere this means cooler, shorter days, the appearance of colorful foliage, harvest time, and feasts and festivals. Collected here are 34 photos of the season, from around the world.
We've all heard how piracy is killing the music/movie/book/software/PrOn industries, but this advert was the first of its kind. It was designed to educate people about all the hard work that goes into making games for the PC.
"I collect art, so why not drive it around?" said Scott Alan, one of the owners. Others have different motives. "We want to encourage everyone who wants to sell their car to turn it into a dinosaur," said long-time enthusiast Tom Kennedy.
If you're insistent on toting around a portable zit zapper, why not choose one that doubles as a less-than-stellar DAP? The Mpion player not only includes 128MB of built-in memory, a headphone jack, USB connectivity, and a battery life of around two hours, but this thing even cleans your pores.
Reportedly, the "ion mode" enables "deep cleansing" of your face, and while we certainly aren't schooled in the ways of dermatology, we have a hard time believing this device would actually work. Nevertheless, those willing to give anything a try can grab one now for ¥20,790, but don't count on a money back guarantee.
How would you like to read a blog post today that says you, and 90% of your co-workers, were laid off…two days ago! Incredibly, that is exactly what Tesla did to the employees that worked in its Detroit offices. The 10% that got to keep their jobs will have to relocate to California at their own expense.
Tesla notifies Detroit workers today they were laid off two days ago...today! In a sign of what this new Financiapocalypse might bring, employees in the Metro Detroit branch of electric car maker Tesla Motors were laid off via a blog post.
Doesn’t a self-balancing unicycle, a cool technical achievement in itself, take the fun out of a unicycle? Also, if it is truly self balancing, will it stand up on its own when you aren’t riding it?
If you plan a little south of the border partying tonight, you might think twice before you and your drunk-ass friends try to hide anything in your car before you cross the border.
However, a Customs and Border Protection spokesman said the portal used at the border will be much less revealing. According to the manufacturer, American Science and Engineering, a backscatter image of a person in a car will show "a silhouette with no facial or body detail. The system cannot be used to identify an individual, or the race, sex, or age of the person."
While car torching is a handy way to manage your finances, the Post ignores many other time-tested fraud schemes that are just as effective. After the jump is 23/6's handy guide to defrauding your way through the economic crisis:
Got a cell phone? Got a rash on your face? Your phone could be to blame. Carry your phone in your pocket? Got a rash? Your phone probably isn’t to blame, go see a doctor anyway.
Citing published studies, the group said a red or itchy rash, known as "mobile phone dermatitis," affects people who develop an allergic reaction to the nickel surface on mobile phones after spending long periods of time on the devices.

Obviously the men and women in uniform that put their lives on the line every day aren’t going to be thrilled with a game like Saints Row 2 but I can’t help but think this move to “block” the game is a publicity stunt by someone running for District Attorney and not police officers themselves.
On Tuesday, surrounded by police union members who support her bid for Manhattan District Attorney, candidate Leslie Crocker-Snyder and others spoke out against the violent game. At the J&R music store, in Lower Manhattan, the game sells for $59.59 and sales have been brisk. Employees say they carefully check of the ages of the customers.

Meet Varvara Akulova, the world’s strongest girl. Now she is 13, but most of the photos featured in this post depict her at the age of six. She already was a champion at the age of four and expressed unbelievable strength...at the very early age and at the age of four she could lift 220 lbs weights! It was so fantastic that The Discovery channel has made a documentary about her - “The Worlds Strongest Girl”.
The Sun is now in the quietest phase of its 11-year activity cycle, the solar minimum - in fact, it has been unusually quiet this year - with over 200 days so far with no observed sunspots. The solar wind has also dropped to its lowest levels in 50 years. Scientists are unsure of the significance of this unusual calm, but are continually monitoring
Teenager Ashleigh Morris can't go swimming, soak in a hot bath or enjoy a shower after a stressful day's work - she's allergic to water.
Even sweating brings the 19-year-old out in a painful rash. Ashleigh, from Melbourne, Australia, is allergic to water of any temperature, a condition she's lived with since she was 14.

Selling stolen stuff on eBay is stupid. Selling stuff you stole from famous people on eBay is even worse. What were these people thinking?
An eBay spokeswoman said the website was co-operating with police and attempting to work out which items were involved in the alleged theft. She said the site would be able to trace a clear paper trail back to the seller, adding: "Anyone stupid enough to try to sell anything that is not 100% legitimate makes a big mistake when they try to do it on our site."
The technology behind wireless powered devices like this blender is cool and the fact that it can be used on everything from lighting to laptops makes it even cooler. The video below shows the technology in action:

Mike Nash, VP for Windows Product Management, has made a post on the Windows Vista blog stating that the code name “Windows 7” will in fact be the operating system’s actual name. There you have it. Love it? Hate it? Let us know.
And, as you probably know, since we began development of the next version of the Windows client operating system we have been referring to it by a codename, "Windows 7." But now is a good time to announce that we've decided to officially call the next version of Windows, "Windows 7."

If you’ve always wanted to see the Forbidden City in Beijing, China but circumstances have prevented the trip, your opportunity has arrived. IBM has recreated the Forbidden City as it was during height of the Ming and Qing dynasties using a game engine and leveraging their Second Life expertise. Wicked cool!
"When you enter the Forbidden City you choose one of nine historical costumes, which is to give a sense of history but also keep a sense of decorum," said John Tolva, program manager at IBM who led the project, dubbed "Beyond Space and Time." “You can't run and you can't fly," he added, a restriction that aims to prevent other virtual visitors, whom you can see and interact with, being distracted.

Wow. No, not the game… well ok, the game and the sentiment. This guy has 36 World of Warcraft accounts that he plays on 11 computers simultaneously. While the loser alarm is going crazy, his setup is pretty sweet.
For my keys to send to all instances of WoW on my 11 computers, I use Octopus 1.3.2. Maximizer in Octopus allows me to start up all WoW instances at the same time or any individual instance such as if a WoW instance has crashed. It also allows me to shutdown all of the computers at the same time.
PCWorld has a great article that tracks down some of the people who enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame via the Internet over the past 10 years. If you’ve wondered what happened to the “Leave Britney Alone” kid or what the NumaNuma guy does, wonder no longer.
I tracked down some of the Internet's biggest overnight/one-night sensations to see what they've been up to since their 15 minutes on the Warhol clock expired. Some have settled into lives of quiet anonymity; others are now making grand livings off their Net-based notoriety. But enough talk--ninjas, dancers, and a Turkish guy who just wants a kiss await. Start clicking and get caught up.
The final client for OpenOffice 3.0 is available at various mirror sites, according to ZDNet. The official release date is 10/13 but if you want to get a jump on it early, follow the link in the blog entry.
Note that not all mirrors currently offer all OS flavors of OO.o 3.0. The path to the final download is usually as follows: stable/3.0.0/ . Release notes have yet to be updated from Release Candidate 4.
Oxygen-starved ocean dead zones may be more widespread than thought. Spanish researchers found that many species die off at oxygen levels well above what is now considered uninhabitable. The new study suggests that the extent of dead zones in coastal areas that support fishing industries is greater than previously known.
Since the mid-20th century, more than 400 dead zones have formed along continental coastlines, where fertilizer pollution causes algal blooms whose decomposition feeds oxygen-gobbling bacteria.
Lamborghini's slow striptease of the four-door it's bringing to the Paris Motor Show continues with another close-up of the Estoque, but a leaked concept drawing provides the full monty of a car that continues Sant'Agata's tradition of drawing inspiration from bull fighting when naming its most lust-inducing hardware.
Researchers, at a scientific conference in Vienna, have unveiled the world's first computer network protected by unbreakable quantum encryption. Thanks to Joe and GuiltyDragon for the linkage.
These are typically based on complex mathematical procedures which are extremely hard for outsiders to crack, but not impossible given sufficient computing resources or time. But quantum systems use the laws of quantum theory, which have been shown to be inherently unbreakable.
Is Circuit City heading for bankruptcy? Those in the know seem to think so and, if something doesn’t happen soon, their predictions may very well come true.
Now the Washington Post says that the company lost a recommendation from a firm that advises manufacturers on whether to ship goods to retailers — meaning that Circuit City may be having trouble paying its vendors. Are they ready to go under? Motley Fool thinks so. They placed Circuit City at the top of a short list of retailers that you could "kiss goodbye."

Google wants to help you stop sending email you will regret later with a new tool called Mail Goggles. The idea is to have you answer a few easy math questions which, in theory, will determine whether you are in the right frame of mind to send the email in the first place.
When you enable Mail Goggles, it will check that you're really sure you want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you're in the right state of mind?
Apple has filed a lawsuit against the Victoria School of Business and Technology in Canada over the use of a logo that is shaped like an Apple. Rumor has it that some students are now afraid to give their teachers apples now because of the fruit’s striking resemblance to the company logo.
Apple's legal team is targeting a Vancouver Island college, Victoria School of Business and Technology, over its logo, which bares a slight resemblance to the Cupertino-based electronics manufacturer's famous logo.
For the past few years, the Inland Empire in Riverside County has been one of the fastest growing counties in the state - home to a major housing boom. But now the Inland Empire is pretty much the poster child for the foreclosure crisis. In the newer developments, house after house sits vacant - either up for auction, for sale by a bank or going for what’s called a “short sale” which is when the owner owes more than the house is worth.
I used to scoff at paying a premium for jeans that come with holes in them already. Then I saw just how much work goes into distressing jeans, and I realized that these people are artists.
You can’t just have any loose threads, you have to have the right loose threads. They can’t just be faded. They have to be the right color. A lot of work goes into making these jeans look just right.

It would have been handy to have access to this CostToDrive website when I took a road trip earlier this summer. Just select your car from the list, pick your destination and hit the button. The web app plots your route, where you’ll need to stop, how much gas prices are locally and the cost of filling up at each stop. If you car is not on the list (older than 1999) you can manually enter your car’s info.
A company has figured out how to make liquid-filled USB drives and Budweiser has hired them to make some beer-filled drives for their own marketing efforts.
Is capitalism really that great, if it leads to beer-filled USB flash drives with "optional customizable floating objects" inside? Should we Americans really be that pleased with our free speech, if it means I get emails from people who make flash drives with BEER in them?
One of the world’s largest webhosts, 1&1, took InformationWeek on a tour of their new green 54,000-sq.foot datacenter in Kansas. Follow the jump for the article and a link to the gallery. Cool stuff!
From the parking lot it doesn't look like much, but inside a former storage facility on the outskirts of Kansas City lies a powerhouse of data connectivity. Here, one of the world's largest web hosting companies has built its U.S. data center.
The series of tubes famously dubbed the ‘internets’ by president G.W. Bush* constitute a world wide web of interconnectedness. But, as this map demonstrates, there are some black holes in that web. They represent the 15 countries that limit or prohibit their citizens’ access to internet as a way of censoring the free flow of information.
Perhaps most notorious among those countries is China, with its Great Firewall (and its insistence on self-censorship by non-Chinese companies operating within the Middle Kingdom). Other countries also maintain firewalls, notably Saudi Arabia, while less-developed nations might just not allow their citizens to own computers.
We’ve seen OS X installed on just about everything so it wasn’t a huge surprise to find out that some guy ended up installing it on his Dell Mini 9. The author doesn’t really say how well it performs but I’d imagine it would run fine.
So, when I got the Dell mini 9 all I wanted to do was put Leopard on it. With a little bit of tinkering and some help from a good blogging buddy Kevin Tofel I was able to painlessly install 10.5.4 on the little guy.
First it was the panic over Steve Jobs looking too skinny. Then it was Forbes accidentally posting his obituary. Today it is the rumor of a heart attack. For crying out loud people, the guy is not dead. Believing stuff you see on CNN’s version of YouTube news doesn’t help either.
The report is ``not true,'' spokesman Steve Dowling said in an interview. The shares fell as much as 5.4 percent after a post on CNN's iReport.com citizen journalist Web site cited an anonymous source saying Jobs was rushed to the hospital after suffering a ``major heart attack.'' The report has been removed.
Surveillance video shows the bear standing on hind legs to open door, At one point the bear can be seen coming around behind the counter to sniff at the ingredients.
Rebecca Branton, an employee, is seen making a run for the bathroom, as the bear wanders around the Subway restaurant in Kitimat, British Columbia, Canada. His every move was caught on the shop's nine video cameras.
First it was tattoos, then it was body piercing, but the latest fashion craze looks so painful it's literally eye-watering. In the frenzy to come up with something different one designer has created a line of jewellery which is intended to be worn on the eyes.
The bizarre range features a number of adornments which hang on wire from contact lenses.
Users attach a range of accessories, such as crystals and flowers, to the new prescription or dummy lenses and wear them throughout the day. The jewellery, which measures up to 14mmx33mm, is attached to the contact using medical wire and hangs below the eye.
This is either the coolest mix of meat and hi-tech gadgetry, or the grossest, you are likely to see all day. Is that a USB thumb drive made of Bacon? Mmmmm, Bacon.
If you ever wondered how secure those ePassports were, this is your answer. While I want to believe The King is alive and well as much as the next guy, I think it is far more likely that ePassport security sucks.

You will need…a table tennis paddle, a stencil, a craft knife and a stupidly over the top devotion to all things Apple. Oh, and a bare bottom to brand over and over again.
A phone that can see through walls? I don’t know about you but I’m calling BS on this one until I see it in action. What do you think? Real or not?
The 'Real Space See-through Mobile' software comes from KDDI's R&D laboratory and Tokyo University and is – you'll not be surprised to learn – still just a prototype. Although we weren't able to see it in action, we can tell you that it is supposed to be able to judge its surroundings, including those on the other side of a wall, using six different sensors.
Ever wondered why we drink? This is what thinking would be like if every thought was mapped on a graph. An animated stream of consciousness takes us to the answer.
What sets Halloween costumes apart from costumes for other celebrations or days of dressing up is that they are often designed to imitate supernatural and scary beings. Costumes are traditionally those of monsters such as vampires, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils.
There are also costumes of pop culture figures like presidents, or film, television, and cartoon characters. Another popular trend is for women (and in some cases, men) to use Halloween as an excuse to wear particularly revealing costumes, showing off more skin than would be socially acceptable otherwise.
According to The National Retail Federation’s (NRF) 2006 Halloween Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, the top Halloween costumes for children in the United States are:[2]

Many things have appeared on toast: Marmite, Vegemite, jam and even Cylons. Now a designer’s invented a toaster that can burn pretty much anything onto your morning slice, including the news.
Inside the toaster is a network of toasting “modules”, each heated by a hot wire. Each module can move by 30° and, once the user selects what they want on their toast - excluding a topping, of course - the modules align themselves and burn the appropriate content onto the bread.
