That man is filmmaker Ed Wardle. He's been followed by National Geographic for about three months and all that equipment in the image is what's been documenting the whole thing. The documentary is called Alone in the Wild, and it's kind of like Man Vs. Wild except, you know, without the script.

There's also a Twitter feed, which produced gems like this one: "PORCUPINE LIKE A FATTY FOREST RAT. IF I HAD A CHOICE WHATS BETR 4 ME HERE, FAT OR MEAT?" Apparently being in the wild requires caps lock to be on at all times, lest the bears no longer fear you and attack. [National Geographic via Dark Roasted Blend]

That's the demo Samsung wanted people to photograph and film to show off their cameras at PMA. Scary.

PMA is an annual show where we get to see tomorrow's digital cameras—the ones that'll be populating pockets and purses for the rest of the year. We'll be here for the next couple of days.

It happened this morning, according to Swedish reader Madonna Arsan, who apparently has nothing else to do but to check the San Diego Zoo Polar Cam every morning looking for bears having a fun time. Unfortunately, the zoo people have changed the camera view.

Apparently, the scene is a rare occurrence because bears only mate once a year—and have one-hour orgasms, or so I am told. Which makes me wonder: Would I like to have a one-hour orgasm once a year or one hour of orgasms across a year? Hmmm.

I really don't need this kind of thinking in the morning. [Thanks Madonna]

Update: Bad news, people: Bears don't have one-hour orgasms. According to San Diego's Zoo:

In short, polar bears do not have hour long orgasms. We actually know very little about their mating habits but are learning a lot from Kaluk (the male) and Chinook (the female) at the San Diego Zoo.

Here's what we do know:

The female polar bears at our Zoo are in estrous between February and July. The San Diego Zoo has trained Chinook to allow us to get vaginal swabs that allow us to test for the cellular changes that occur when the polar bear is in estrous. However, the time of year that a bear is in estrous can vary; our keepers have heard it is different for polar bears in other zoos.

Over the past few days we have seen Kaluk mounting Chinook but do not know if this has resulted in successful breeding. Keepers conducted a vaginal swab yesterday to send off to a lab for a "pregnancy test." We're hoping for the best but if it's not positive, we expect that Kaluk and Chinook will continue to show signs of breeding until July.

Polar bears are critically endangered because of global warming. It has affected polar bears because as ice sheets melt, it prevents the bears from traveling in search of food.

To see each reason we're doomed, just click on the little thumbnail. We've got a bonus reason as a recession special.

The 2.6 gallon Pocket Shower sports a compact showerhead that operates with twisting on/off valve. Bathers can adjust the stream to produce a slow trickle, or open it up completely for a dousing 8-minute power shower. Want a warm shower for those cool, crisp camping mornings? Leave the black fabric out in the sun.

Alternatively, the Pocket Shower can also be used as a dry sack to transport clothes, a sleeping bag, or those aforementioned beauty products no self-respecting city slicker would be without on the open range. [Sea to Summit]

Some might think this is dangerously unsecure, but we're stoked about it, ready to ditch that bulky, old-fashioned wallet full of credit cards and just use that cellphone to pay for everything via Bluetooth and harmless NFC. Are we ridin' for a fall? Hey, this technology is already being tested in New York City as you read this. – Charlie White
