Inspiro Intelligent Oven from Electrolux Uses Sensors for Perfect, Automated Cooking


Elecrolux's Inspiro oven launches this week, using technology that could be the future of cooking. Using a heat management technique rather like auto focus on a camera, the Inspiro's sensors first analyze what is to be cooked before calculating the temperature and time needed. The company's CEO, Hans StrÃ¥berg, likens it to the way cameras now automatically set aperture, exposure time and focus, depending on the light and what's in the frame. More »

Postcard from Barcelona as Jesus and Blam Hit Mobile World Congress

Dear Readers, Well, two out of three ain't bad, I guess. I was meant to be joining Blam and the guy in the red hat, Captain Zissou oh yeah, Jesus, I think his name is, for a couple of days in Barcelona, but I have been struck down by a nasty, virulent, ectoplasm-producing cold, so I'm staying home. Never mind, while they go out and fondle sexy new phones in Spain's second city and keep you informed about the hottest cells and smartphones on offer this year, I shall see if I can break the world record for continuous sneezing. UPDATE: Oh, and to anyone who is speculating that J will play fast and loose with booth babes, I can categorically say that it won't happen—unless the booths are furnished with chicks who look like this.

GPS Jesus Nabs Christmas Thief

Just before Christmas we learned that a baby Jesus statue in a Bal Harbor Florida nativity scene was being equipped with GPS to ensure that a theft earlier in the month would not be repeated. Apparently, a similarly equipped statue from a nativity in Wellington Florida actually resulted in the arrest of 18-year-old Danielle Santino after she stole the statue on December 26th. She has since been charged with grand theft. So what is going on here? Is there some sort of underground baby Jesus crime ring terrorizing southern Florida? [Local 6 via Fark]

Pac-Man Hoodie Has Everything You Wanted Save 100% Natural Fibers

Nothing better in the run-up to Christmas to have a Jesus lookalike modelling a Pac-Man hoodie from Hot Topic. It's a steal at $45, but why is it only 80% cotton? Nylon just makes me come out in hives, guys. [Oh!Gizmo]

Baby Jesus: Now With GPS Super Powers!

The Christianity 2.0 movement continues in South Florida, where the town of Bal Harbour received a GPS-equipped Baby Jesus statue to replace a previously stolen Baby Jesus staute. A Cincinnati lawyer donated the statue after hearing about the theft in early December. More »

Weekend Team Says Merry Xmas


Christmas is about to roll, and the weekend team would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to all our regular readers. We hope you have a smashing Christmas, and to make sure you do, we've gone to a lot of effort. We went to the party shop and hired elf costumes, we practiced dance moves in between our rigorous posting schedule, we went to the gym, we didn't eat carbs for a month and Mark tried to touch my bum, so I stood away from him. After our great ordeal, appearing from right to left, I present to you; Jesus, Mark, Eric and I, in the fantastic Merry Xmas Elf Dance 2007. Jump for the video. More »

Canadians Finally Get TiVo

Every once in a while we read a mundane press release—in this case, announcing that Canada gets TiVo—and just start laughing. Poor Canada is finally getting TiVo service, "just in time for the holiday season." But that's not the funniest part. The only hardware available will be the TiVo Series2, standard def, last gen DVR for 199 CAD. Merry Christmas, Canada. Now I know how Koreans look at American cellphone technology. On an unrelated note, Gizmodo will be starting a DVR drive for an unspecified, commercial-pausing-impoverished North American country. Here's the full TiVo press release: More »

Samsung Launches the SGH-E590, World Keeps Watching iPhone Ads

Here's the new 2.32-ounce Samsung SGH-E590. Designed by Jasper Morrison, the SGH-E590 has... hrmm... things. You know. A screen. Some buttons. A camera, too. It has panorama functions and stuff. And it comes with a special rubberized bean bag that acts as a tripod or something. And... whatever. Not even the mention of a rubberized tripod excites me after the new Messiah-Phone ads. Still, a nice minimalist cellphone that comes loaded with features. More »

World's Highest Swing Looks Terrifying

iRosary iPod Headphones Helps Kids Get Down With Jesus

(Not our Jesus, of the Diaz variety.) The iRosary is a conceptual design by Tino Dobra that connects the iPod to headphones via a cross rosary. Traditional rosaries include beads, but for this hip iPod version the included single bead is a bit different:
The position of the bead can be measured and heard as audio beads on a sensitive range of the cable. Due to technical possibilities, the new rosary can help a person to learn the prayer; the right mysteries are inserted automatically and there are various modes for choosing the degree of difficulty.
I guess the iRosary was designed to be more attractive for the kids and their damned iPods, but the whole bead/prayer challenge seems a bit much. More »

Jesus Wants Good Cell Reception for All

A cellphone mast in the Ugandan town of Gulu has become quite the attraction after many local residents have spotted Jesus Christ himself atop the cellphone tower. Apparently, one of the first witnesses saw Jesus standing between two unidentified characters, but I have a hunch that it was that "Can you hear me now?" guy from Verizon and that Alltel My Circle guy with the giant hair. Regardless, if anyone is going to be able to give good cell service in Uganda, it will be Jesus himself. More »

Evangelical Tract Says Says 'Ipod Guy' Needs Jesus

We're as inclined as anyone to believe that Steve Jobs is going to spend eternity in flames—somebody has to pay for all those DS_store files—but Rich Robinson of Jews for Jesus is really sure. So certain that he made this evangelical tract, currently being passed around (or thrown on the ground) in New York's very own subway system, only a continent away from Jobs' home in California.

Jesus on a Pancake

If you're envious of that Virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwich that fetched $1700 on eBay, imagine how much money you could make selling a few pancakes featuring the Main Man, that Holy Ghost of Nazareth, Jesus himself. More »
