I can't believe you censor comments that are critical of your posts. Disgusting.
Nickbee on Feb 8, 2008
Hi Jesus, I don't suppose you know of anywhere one could get hold of the Katamari Damacy Soundtrack?

I'm more of a well wisher, in that I don't wish him any specific harm. ;)
Props on the 'Falcon.

hey man, is there a way you can either send me the mp3 of Master Ninja Theme Song, or tell me where you got it from? I'm a huge MST3k fan and would love to have the audio for that. Thanks!

Reader of the Month: Dr. Francisco Gómez Bravo
We don't usually give Reader of the Month awards, only stars to top commenters who actually post useful or funny stuff. But this reader doesn't comment in Gizmodo, even while he confessed he's addicted to it. He doesn't send us stories or suggestions to tips@gizmodo.com either. Or corrections. Nothing. In fact, I met him today for the first time, after my dog Jones bit me on the mouth this morning, cutting a very deep and nasty 1-inch-long injury in the shape of a seven—just below my inferior lip. His name is Dr. Francisco Gómez Bravo, and he's one of the top plastic surgeons here, in the Old Continent. More »8:30 PM on Fri May 16 2008

Motion Pro II Racing Simulator in Action, Still Cause for Divorce
Remember yesterday's drooltastic Motion Pro II racing simulator? Here's how it works and how much it costs. We talked with Chris Considine—CXC Simulations head honcho—who tells us that yes, people actually buy these things even if they cost more than a car: the Motion Pro II starts at $25,995, but he said that a client spent $45,000 on one, after add-ons. See the complete shopping list—and high definition pictures from a real system—after the jump. More »2:50 PM on Fri May 16 2008

Full-Screen Multitouch Mac OS X Is Here (But Not from Apple)
It's not from Apple, but it gives a pretty good idea of what to expect from them, especially knowing that only one guy—Christian Moore—got this system running at full speed on a simple Intel-based MacBook. His Lux free open framework enables true multitouch interaction in Mac OS X. In fact, he says it can work under any platform and even a web browser, enabling complex user interfaces and object manipulation comparable to Jeff Han's magic walls or the Microsoft Surface anywhere. We talked with Moore about how it works and what to expect from it. More »11:50 AM on Fri May 16 2008

Soviet T-72 Tank vs Incrudo USB Flash Drive
Incrudo makes water-proof, shock-proof, scratch-proof, and apparently T-72B tank-proof USB flash drives out of pure titanium. And to prove it, the crazy Ivans pitted the key—which also has a special metal-ceramics composite on the front and back panels, as well as a real ruby that illuminates from the inside—against the legendary tank. Sure, the test is on the mud, but that's 49.1 tonnes of tank. A Soviet tank. If there's something cooler than that, I don't know what is. [Incrudo]10:00 AM on Thu May 15 2008

Nespresso Contest Winners Could Make Tasty Coffee If You Knew How to Use Them
Nespresso—maker of single serve pseudo-coffee machines—has announced its design contest winners. The entries range from the abstract of the winner—"Untitled," by Brice Genre and Hanika Perez, left—to the 2001-like spiffiness of the second entry—"Pearl," by Andreas Diefenbach, center—to the completely absurd but pretty, as you will see in the full gallery with 21 concepts after the jump.

Motion-Pro II Racing Simulator Blows Minds, Budgets (Verdict: Must Have, Prepare Divorce Papers)
We have seen other cool racing simulators before, but the handmade, individually-configured, and probably mindblowingly-expensive Motion Pro II by CXC Simulations is by far the most impressive of them all, with three 46-inch 1080p LCD displays, 505-watt 5.1 surround sound system—1,010 watts peak power—synchronized with four vibration transducers, and full motion simulation using electro-mechanical actuators to move your seat. And the tech-porn spec list doesn't stop there. More »7:01 AM on Thu May 15 2008

Sprint Keeps Up iPhone Bashing Fest, Still Missing the Point
Sprint has released the rest of its iPhone-bashing ads, part of the Instinct $100 million campaign attacking the old iPhone just when Apple is about to release a new version with Jobs-only-knows how many new features. This time, however, on top of the internet connection and the GPS location, the other features may not be available on the next iPhone. What may be the scorecard next month?

Asus Eee PC 901 Images Show New Refinements, Possibly Atom Motherboard
French blog Blogeee.net has allegedly exclusive pictures of the next Asus Eee PC 901, which apparently includes a new motherboard. Apparently this model is the one that will have Intel Atom inside, which is why the company has sightly redesigned its exterior. The images show a ton of small refinements over the design of the previous Eee PC 900: More »4:41 PM on Wed May 14 2008

Kirby Morgan 57 Risky Diving Helmet Is Zissou-Worthy
At $5,900, the Kirby Morgan 57 Diving Helmet is way out of the budget of most scuba diving lovers and Jacques Costeau-wannabes. But don't worry because you don't need one of these underwater wonders unless you want to get down to the pits of hell or dive into biologically contaminated water—like the bottom of a sewage treating tank, shipwrecks with dangerous cargo, public swimming pools, and my bathtub. This is why you need its fiberglass and carbon fiber shell with temperature and electrical charge insulation, defogging valve, ultra-secure latch system, and a quad-valve exhaust system that apparently makes the helmet extremely dry with no breathing performance penalty. Amazing, but—does it have FM radio receiver? That's what we really want to know. More »4:15 PM on Wed May 14 2008

Crutch Vader Avoids Jail, Dark Side Wins Again
moronsmembers of the Jedi Church of England—and their lawyer. This means that Sir Lord Vader Von Drunk—real name Arwel Wynn Hughes—will avoid jail. Quite frankly, after seeing the video of his innocuous attack, I can't believe the judge actually considered putting this guy in jail. [BBC News]10:13 AM on Tue May 13 2008

Music Video Is Complete Mac OS X Leopard Tour
Whether you like the song or not—Addy says technically this is called Wimp-Pop, but it sounds more to me like Foux Da Fa Fa*—I've got to say that this music video made using The Bird and the Bee's Again and Again is mesmerizing. Or at the very least, a really cool musical tour through 40 Mac OS X features and applications: it starts slow and boring with Word, but it ends being a complete explosion of synchronized eye candy using everything from Photo Booth to Stickies to Spotlight to Dashboard widgets to Stacks. See if you can distinguish each and every one of the features and apps featured, then compare it to the list after the jump (I think we are missing a few.) More »8:40 AM on Tue May 13 2008

R2-D2 Cake Brings Balance to the Force, Dorkiness to Wedding
Perhaps knowing that a Death Star wedding cake was starting marriage asking for trouble, reader and chef Charlene made an R2-D2 one, bringing balance back to the Force, and restoring dorkiness throughout the Galaxy. There have been others, but her nine-layer version of everyone's favorite astromech is far more realistic and complex, thanks to some DIY tech hacks. More »8:00 AM on Mon May 12 2008
