Contacts With Coverflow Concept Kind Of Cool

Coverflow isn't my favorite feature of OS X, but I have to admit it is neat, but that's about it. There are more efficient ways to organize pretty much any data you can think of, but this idea of applying the technology to your iPhone's Contacts list intrigues me. Nothing fancy here, it would likely be a piece of cake for Apple to throw together, and I'm a little mystified as to why it hasn't yet. It wouldn't be the first time photo browsing for contacts has been used, but it would be the coolest. And yes, I really have Kevin Rose's contact info on my iPhone, and no, he doesn't know about it.

Dolphin Gets Prosthetic Tail

Winter was just two months old when she got her tail caught in a crab trap—and rendered a useless stump—off the coast of Florida. After a long recuperation and a year and a half of hard labor by one of the veterinary world's top prosthetics wizards, Winter became the first dolphin to receive a functional but fake tail, qualifying her, according to the Daily Mail, as the "world's first bionic sea creature." Here's the story: More »

Confessions of a Flickr Snoopr (Admit It, You're One Too)

My name is Addy and I'm a Flickrholic. I'm a window-licking voyeuse who's been pressing her nose up against the cold glass of the lives of utter strangers, snooping through their photostreams. And if you think I'm weird, take a peep through their curtains. Marvel at Polymorfo Perverso's rather delicious fetish portraits (one caption reads "your neck is so much fun") or Gizmodo's favorite tough man as meat-market mascot. If you're a Flickr snoopr like me, you know the giddy, naughty pleasure of it all. If you're not one, well, here's how to become one in a hurry. More »

Kevin Rose Sets Up Lame Home Theater System (Verdict: BURIED!)

As any good tech aficionado, Kevin Rose has put together his new home theater system all by himself. Unlike a good rich tech aficionado, however, Kevin Rose has set up quite a humble setup, spending just around $9,040 on it. Honestly, given his worth, I was expecting a Sony Death Star projector and a full Kaleidescape rack. Instead, we got this suburbia setup, complete with setup videos:

Eee PC Touchscreen Coming This Summer, Asus Confirms

Asus' president of sales, Kevin Lin, has announced the upcoming 8.9-inch Eee PC will have a touchscreen incorporated. Lin also speculated that the device may have GPS functionality, too, however this was not confirmed. The announcement has us a little confused, as earlier reports suggested otherwise. Still, Lin went on to say the expected starting price for an 8.9-inch touchscreen toting Eee will be around $500, and he also added that the Eee Desktop PC will begin retailing at the $199 mark. Put that in your Eee PC news pipe and puff it. [DigiTimes]

Kevin Rose Eats Funny Red Pills Again, Predicts iPhone 3G

After being absolutely wrong wrong wrong (WRONG) about the first iPhone, Digg's Kevin Rose has now settled down for the obvious: he says that the 3G version of the JesusPhone will have a camera on the front for video-conferencing with other 3G iPhone and Macintosh iChat users. Most probably, he is right about this, but not about the rest of his predictions:

Bill Gates Says White Space Is for Free Wi-Fi; Broadcasters Want License and Regulation

Referring to Microsoft's desire to use soon-to-be-opened broadcasting bandwidth for low-powered unlicensed wireless devices, Bill Gates argued that it will make for improved Wi-Fi, a term he appears to be using as simply non-regulated, subscription-free wireless. He said:
"We're hopeful that that will be made available so that Wi-Fi can explode in terms of its usage, even out into some of these less dense areas where distance has been a big problem for Wi-Fi."
Bill's opponents see this not as an opportunity for more Wi-Fi but as a chance to widen costlier, regulated wireless subscription services. More »

Near-Supersonic Gulfstream 650 Unveiled, Steve Jobs Gets Excited

The new Gulfstream 650 was unveiled yesterday at their Savannah factory. Yes Steve Jobs, yes Al Gore, yes Kevin Rose, this one can take you anywhere in the world with its 7,000 nautical miles range at a top speed of Mach 0.925 (704mph,) almost the speed of sound at a 41,000-feet altitude. You and your 99,600-pound cargo of, hmm, whatever you dirty rich people take around on trips: all your mountain bikes, your Bonos, and your carbon-footprint air fresheners or something. But don't put your current Gulfstreams on Craiglist yet, because there's a catch.

Smart Party Wireless DJ System Will Get Playlist Votes From Your Trousered MP3 Player

A new system devised by a pair of UCLA students could well bring democracy to music selection at parties. The two scientists have created a software-and-antennae combo that currently works on laptops, scanning people's music collections, grabbing the most popular tunes from guests' MP3 players and adding them to the night's playlist. The next step will be to see if Smart Party can be made to work on MP3 players (currently it works on laptops), polling partygoers' music devices as they arrive at the party. More info below. More »

Kevin Smith Wii Was Made For Kevin Smith Himself

Our buddy Ramon of modding fame has been busy lately, with the Rockstar Wii mod following up a long procession of mods anybody would be glad to call their own. This latest mod was comissioned specially for Kevin Smith, and features the four main characters from Clerks. Not only is the console itself really "Clerksy," the Nunchucks have "Kevin Smith" and "Silent Bob" engraved on it so his wife knows which controllers are his.

DivX CEO Slips, Says DivX Possibly Heading to Xbox 360

DivX's brand new CEO, Kevin Hell, accidentally leaked some juicy info about their Xbox 360 plans when questioned at a JP Morgan conference. An analyst questioned Hell about the new media center extenders that have DivX and Xvid compatibility and whether the same functionality was coming to Xbox. Kevin replied, "Yes! that, uh, we're in discussions with Microsoft on that at this point in time, so I can't go into any great detail on that. Um, that is not a certified, that is not a certified or licensed product at this time." The sweet sounds of backpedaling are like Chopin for our DivX-starved ears. [SeekingAlpha]

K-Fed Launches His Own Search Engine; Internet Loses Yet More Dignity

If Google isn't sleazy enough for you, perhaps you'd like to try Searching with Kevin. Federline, that is. Yes, the guy who somehow escaped his marriage with Britney Spears looking like the sane one now has his own branded search engine that offers you chances to win prizes (going to Kevin's birthday party, OMG!) every time you search. There's even a Search with Kevin toolbar you can install, always keeping Kevin's famous research skills at your fingertips. Surprisingly, you can search for things other than porn, bling, and rhyming dictionaries, which seems to go against the whole spirit of the affair. More »

Diggnation: Kevin Rose and Alex Transplant Drunken Livingroom Antics to Macworld

Instead of on a livingroom couch, Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht filmed Diggnation #80 live at Macworld, in front of nearly hundreds and hundreds of fans. When they film at home, Kevin and Alex drink. True to form, they proceeded to pound beers, while Moscone security guards look on in question. And at one point, Kevin realizes the entire crowd is sober. Time to start filming these things in bars.

Kevin Rose on the iPhone: "It's Gonna Be Small as Shit"


In case you didn't catch the Diggnation podcast we told you about earlier, here's a video recap of Kevin Rose's iPhone leak. Host Alex Albrecht had to pull teeth to get Rose to talk, but eventually he succeeds and gets Rose to admit that the phone will be running a mini version of OS X and include a slide out keyboard and a touch screen, yet still be "small as shit." Pricing will be $249 for the 4GB model and $449 for the 8GB version. We're only weeks away from knowing the full truth, so you may want to take it with a grain of salt. – Louis Ramirez More »
