OK, it's not cool. I just like the seats, scavenged from McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom Jets and fully restored. Still, whoever buys this thing, I need an invite to try it. I do some really good caipirinhas that will actually make the Mk7 fly. [Phantom Werks via CrunchGear]

The brainchild of culinary adventurers Sam Bompas and Harry Parr, Alcoholic Architecture creates a intoxicating vapor using the same ultrasonic humidifier system found in Antony Gormley's installation at the Hayward in 2007 called Blind Light. Patrons pay around $7 for hourly slots between 7 and 9pm where they can don protective suits and get drunk off the air. It's a novelty for sure, but $7 isn't a bad price for an hours worth of gin and tonic no matter how you look at it. [Jellymongers and Metro and View London]

The pub, to be called the Spitfire, had already installed its equipment, made connections with beer and food vendors, hired 22 employees, and even hung signs in preparation for its opening when Microsoft pulled the plug. We'll make light of the prohibitive aspects of the story, but those 22 people are out of a job now.

Said Microsoft spokesman Lou Gellos, "The goal was always to create a cool gathering place for employees, but to do so in a manner that's consistent with a business environment. We took a second look at that, and we were sensitive to the business environment. We decided we should do something more appropriate, and that meant not having a pub."

Somebody needs to watch more Mad Men, am I right? That Don Draper drinks all the time and he's a marketing genius, something Microsoft might want to take note of. [TechFlash]

But with the flick of a panel...

...four joysticks are revealed, ready for some classic MAME multiplayer! We're not sure where the PC is hiding—probably staying chilly next to a keg or two—but how great would it be if the power were connected to a tapper and whoever chose the PBR ruined the party for everyone? You know, before he got drunk and started singing about the Cubs clinching.

I forgot to paste the via link on the earlier. My apologies. [invaded via albotas]

The coolest catch is the bar itself — which will summon the bartender when you lay your hand on it. A great idea, except when you've got 60 people surrounding the bar hopelessly pounding on it, it kind of kills the effect. Question is, when is TwentyFour coming here? We'll make better beer, we promise. [TwentyFour via Crave]

Once you do, you leave your computer with them and within a day or two you'll get a call from a Genius with the diagnosis and a quote (which is often $0 if you're under AppleCare). Not a bad way to get your Mac repaired if you have to work all day and can't make it in to a Genius appointment. – Jason Chen

But dang-it-all if they wouldn't fire these babies up for us—they're just mockups, so who knows how realistic their simulation of surround sound really is. At that price, we're skeptical. We won't find out until they ship in April or May. – Charlie White

Great for people with projectors or oddly-designed entertainment centers, the wireless bar frees you from having to place the Wii within a certain distance of your TV set. The bad news is these run off a 9V battery, which means good luck to your family in case there's a fire. – Jason Chen

Product Page [Wireless Sensor Bar - Thanks everyone who sent this in!]

Nintendo told Kikizo today that this is a known issue with the Wii. A company representative explained that the Wii sensor bar is affected by head-on exposure to sunlight, which could cause "some interference". But he likened it to not being able to see a TV with the sun shining straight on it.

So yes, you're going to have problems in direct head-on (apply directly to your Wii) exposure to sunlight, but that will probably be rare unless you can't find a way to close your blinds at certain times of day. – Jason Chen

Our testing thus far shows no great risk of light interference when playing a game that relies on the pointer and sensor bar.

No problem here. Good job Japanese engineers! May you go out and get some sun once the Wii launch is complete. – Jason Chen

Wouldn't this be great to have a bar made of these pressure-sensitive lights? The bartender puts your drink in front of you and the bar lights up. Neat. – Charlie White

Assuming any of you are actually smooth enough to get the object of your desires to come home with you, pour them a drink with the assistance of these Star Wars bar tools: Darth Vader the corkscrew, Yoda the wine stopper, foil cutter C-3PO and the handiest of them all, bottle opener R2-D2.
