Single Person Cooker Makes Cooking For One Tidy, If Not Fun
The space-saving "Single Person Cooker" may be of interest to you if you live in an apartment small enough that you need a retracting ceiling bed or a staircase bookshelf. A concept by designer Alex Bradley, it stores pretty much everything you need to cook— hob, utensils and a chopping board— in one small case. Misses out on the kitchen sink, but you can't have everything. More info after the gallery.More »

World's Least Favorite Computer Viruses As Haunting 3D Art
The image above isn't something from James Cameron's Aliens of the Deep. No, it's actually an artist's rendering of a spam email with the subject, "HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THAT YOU ARE GETTING FAT?" The images below represent some of the most notorious code the world has seen, including PWS-Lineage, Stormy, MyDoom, Mytob, IRCBot and Netsky.More »

PSP Time Machine Lets You Restore Firmware Versions of Old
Dark-AleX has just released a hack for the PSP that boots from the Memory Stick, and will allow you to select any firmware version you so choose. The app, dubbed Time Machine, will also boot-up PSPs with destroyed firmware, a second life for you not-so-great hackers out there. It functions via Pandora, and looks a bit tricky to get to grips with at the moment. More »

Alienware Intros New Penryn-based PCs
As soon as Intel finished announcing the arrival of the new 45nm Penryn chips, Alienware announced an upgrade of their own, incorporating a 3GHz Penryn into their Area-51 ALX desktop. Using their advanced cooling system, Alienware claims that this PC will run at 4GHz. Starting at $5500, it will ship shortly after Christmas. [Alienware]

A team of researchers at UC Berkeley have invented a radio made of a single carbon nanotube. The device is just a few billionths of a meter in size - so small that it could fit inside a living cell, or float along in your bloodstream. According to physicist and project lead Alex Zettl, who helped researcher Kenneth Jensen come up with the idea for the radio:

A Fully-Functioning Nanotube Radio
A team of researchers at UC Berkeley have invented a radio made of a single carbon nanotube. The device is just a few billionths of a meter in size - so small that it could fit inside a living cell, or float along in your bloodstream. According to physicist and project lead Alex Zettl, who helped researcher Kenneth Jensen come up with the idea for the radio:A single carbon nanotube molecule serves simultaneously as all essential components of a radio — antenna, tunable band-pass filter, amplifier, and demodulator. Using carrier waves in the commercially relevant 40-400 MHz range and both frequency and amplitude modulation (FM and AM), we were able to demonstrate successful music and voice reception.

Man Drives From NY to LA in 31 hours and 4 minutes (Gadgets Helped)
Alex Roy was just recognized as the record holder for driving from NY to Santa Monica pier in 31 hours and 4 minutes, besting the time set by David Diem and Doug Turner, who were clocked in a Ferrari 308 during the 1983 US Express run of 32 hours and seven minutes. That's a sustained 89MPH for over 31 hours. What's made me especially proud is that Alex wrote about automotive laser jammers and radio scanners for Gizmodo under a previous regime. The seven-time world rally champ avoided cops and found his way with a dash full of gadgets, including multiple scanners, jammers, detectors and other mods on his BMW M5. Equipment is documented in the video above, but one thing not emphasized is that the guy had a plane spotting police activity en route. More »

Computer Choppers has finished their custom 24-carat gold Macbook Pro modification. And it looks just...golden...other than the Apple logo, of course, which houses more diamonds than will allow us to ever send this link to our wife. We actually gave creator Alex Wiley a quick call today to get the lowdown on pricing...and maybe even placed an order of our own. (OK, we totally didn't place an order, but we did get some interesting info).
