Dallas Cowboys Stadium Will Have World's Largest Video Screen

The Dallas Cowboys will be taking over the world's largest video screen crown from that Japanese race track in 2009. Their HDTV will be a total of 11,200 square feet—actually bigger than when they were talking about this back in 2006—which beats the 8,066 sqft. Tokyo Racetrack one by quite a large margin. If 159 feet by 71 feet is too big to comprehend on a scale usually dominated by inches, imagine how long four busses would be if they're parked end to end. A cheerleader nipslip would turn into Mount Vesuvius. [Dallas News - Thanks Travis!] More »

Dallas Truancy Court Tracks Lazy Kids Using GPS

Being late to school is one thing, waking up at 2 p.m. and rolling in to class is quite another. Apparently, this was the daily routine of Jaime Pacheco, a 15-year-old high school freshman at Bryant Adams High School in Dallas. Naturally, this routine created problems for both his family and the school system, so drastic action was necessary. However, instead of juvenile detention, a truancy court judge sentenced him to enroll in a pilot program that requires truant students to be electronically monitored using a GPS system. More »

MulTicket Knows Who You Are and Where You Want to Go

The MulTicket is an awesome concept that we'd like to be able to get our hands on one day. Designer Bence Bogar plans for the MulTicket to be able to carry your identification information, pay charges, give directions, tell you where other MulTicket users are, and, evidently, smile—displaying the information with LEDs. The idea would work well in concentrated environments, like in amusement parks or on tours, or for travelers overseas. Hell, or anywhere really. With how much info any one person has to manage, a MulTicket or something like it would be fantastic. Let's hope it looks as stylish as the MulTicket concepts.

Debbie Does Dallas ... Again: First Blu-Ray Porn

Amidst all of the debate whether porn won't or will be allowed on Blu-Ray, I am happy to announce that the first scheduled Blu-Ray pornographic film will be Debbie Does Dallas ... Again. This announcement just brings warmth to my heart because a lot of us grew up on the classic, Debbie Does Dallas and it is only appropriate to see the re-release of this smash hit in glorious 1080p on Blu-Ray. Vivid Entertainment announced that the flick will be simultaneously released on Blu-Ray and HD DVD on March 28 and you can expect to see me at the first one in line to buy both, to play on my dual-format LG BH100 player, of course.

Dell Retail Store Peepshow

Dell opened up their first retail store in Dallas and here are some of the first shots via the guys over at Gadgetell. Looks pretty nice, but unfortunately they don't sell anything there. Let's hope they at least have a sign at the entrance saying "Warning, Exploding Laptops Present, Proceed with Caution." Hit the linkage for the full-blown racy photo shoot. Unfortunately this photo shoot lacks any kind of beautiful models, unless you consider overweight Dell salesman beautiful. Dell has also opened a store in West Nyack, NY. More »
