Okay the combination of this guy and this weapon scares the crap out of me. It's as if the scary neighbor from Home Alone was crossbow-obsessed and got himself a Lego Mindstorms kit. More » -

Cubicle Crossbow Will Keep You Entertained, Get You Fired
Here's how to make enemies quickly in your workplace: build a homemade crossbow capable of taking someone's eye out from 25 feet away. I will admit that this thing looks pretty badass, however. [Flickr via MAKE] -

Working LEGO Gun Will Make You Shoot Bricks
One man's LEGO is another man's treasure, and what better way is there to guard your grand stash of colored bricks than by using the bricks themselves as a weapon? The Thriller Automatic and Thriller Compact are slide action crossbow pistols with cocking and chambering mechanisms that are almost completely made out of LEGO. Martin Hüdepohl, a German designer and the man who built this amazing monstrosity, has a video of the gun in action. Pew pew! More » -

Wii Crossbow Has Laser Sight, Tip Covered by Ping Pong Ball
We have seen our fair share of Wii peripherals, but the Wii Crossbow actually looks like it could be used by police officials to take down the bad guys. Sure, the ping pong ball tip doesn't look too menacing, but we're sure there's a razor sharp arrow underneath. More » -

Future LG Phones To Run Windows Mobile 6, Prada Included?
Microsoft and LG agreed to a deal that will put Windows Mobile 6, aka Crossbow, onto future LG smartphones. Could this include the upcoming LG Prada phone? Well, considering that we've already seen the Prada's UI in action (narrated by Super Mario himself), maybe not, but the BusinessWeek says that WiMo6 will power LG phones that use touch screens. More info will on this marriage will surface at the 3GSM conference next week. Like we said before, Prada could kill some time before Apple's wunderphone comes out in June. More » -

Asus 3G P3xx Rocks Windows Mobile 6, Wi-Fi, Roomy Screen
Unsubstantiated rumors (what else?) from a French Web site point to Asus launching the 3G P3xx, a Windows Mobile 6-based smartphone due in the third quarter. The 2.8-inch LCD screen (which is 0.6 inches bigger than the BlackJack's) isn't touch-sensitive, so that automatically puts it at a disadvantage. More » -

With a little googling and/or bittorrenting, you can be the proud owner of a 50~60MB install file to place on your own phone. More » -

Windows Mobile Crossbow Reviewed (Verdict: Not Enough New Stuff)
The guys at Mobile Review have gotten their hands on a copy of what they're calling Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 for Pocket PC, otherwise known as Crossbow. While they decry its paucity of all-new features, the good news is there will be increased interface speed and bundled IP telephony, along with a bunch of new noises the thing makes. Too bad they're getting rid of my personal favorite sound, Old Telephone. More » -

Leaked Screens for Next Generation Windows Mobile OS
Crossbow, the next generation Windows Mobile OS, looks to be shaping up quite nicely. We covered some potential features before, but this is the first screenshot we've seen of the new front page. To us, it looks a lot like Vista, except greener and smaller. It's much more "unified" in terms of icons and screens, which looks a lot like the Vista theme I've installed on my Windows Mobile 5 phone. More » -
