Stephen Hawking Filming R-Rated 'Big Bang' Movie

Louis Ramirez — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 14:55:43 EDT

Ok, so we're not sure about the rating part (yet), but lonely British physicist Stephen Hawking is about to star in his first movie. Titled "Beyond the Horizon," the Imax 3D film will bring Hawking and his high-tech wheeelchair to the big screen. In it, Hawking is approached by a young, voluptuous reporter eager to learn about the big bang. We'd go see it, but only if he gets Scarlett Johansson to costar. – Louis Ramirez

Hawking HNC290G WiFI Camera

Jason Chen — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 20:15:31 EDT

Geared toward the paranoid or voyeuristic home and small business owner, the HNC290G WiFi camera lets you view wirelessly exactly what's going on on your property anytime, anywhere. Well, there's a wire for the AC adapter, but other than that, totally wireless.

The HNC290G supports 802.11b/g as well as 10/100 Ethernet, in case you want a more stable connection to the camera. Other features like UPnP, which allows auto-discovery from PCs, and URL configuration, which lets you access the configuration page from any computer on the network. Their setup wizard with UPnP also sets up port-forwarding on your router automatically, so people on the outside of your network—say your computer at work—can view the camera without figuring out difficult router settings.

It's also got built-in motion detection and streams video at 30FPS. A good entry-level WiFi camera at $129.99. Buy one, hide it, and have proof your wife's cheating on you with your brother, while you were making it with your dead cousin's wife. Yes, I watch Rescue Me, why do you ask? – Jason Chen

Hawking Dish: Steroids for WiFi

This odd-looking gadget from Hawking doesn't pick up alien signals, but it does let you boost any WiFi signal by up to a hard-to-believe 300 percent. The HWU8DD Hi-Gain USB Wireless-G Dish Adapter connects to either a computer or laptop using Wireless-B or Wireless-G network and a USB connection, and uses dish technology and Hawking's Signal Strength LED Indicator to find the strongest and best signal around. You'll also get WEP, WPA, and WPA2 security and a directional antenna that concentrates wireless signals away from computer components to avoid signal interference. And it only costs $69.
