Yes, this ludicrous item consists of a green bra that transforms into a putting green, with the cups turning into holes. Sink a putt, and a speaker says "Nice shot!" There's also a skirt that turns into a flag that says "Be Quiet" on it, for keeping onlookers hushed while you golf next to a naked woman.

What I like about the whole getup is how practical it is. [Pink Tentacle via Tokyo Mango]

LuminoGlow is an Australian company that makes unmentionables that look normal with the lights on, but glow in the dark when they're turned off. Pretty neat, but don't glow in the dark items need to be left in the light for a while before they glow? Are you supposed to wear these around the house all day first just to charge them up before gametime at night? And will they glow through your clothes if you wear a thin shirt or dress?

Also, where's my glow in the dark underwear? Why do only the ladies get this fun? So many questions, so few answers.

Basically, the ladies stand on conductive pads on the floor, and paint their (and Harris's) hands with the conductive skin-safe ink called Bare Conductive. When Harris slaps his hands against those of the ladies, a small current travels through their bodies and onto the pads on the floor, which triggers a sound, all without the girls feeling a thing. He uses eight models to play the main accompaniment, and the others perform a tightly-choreographed routine to create the rhythm. I trust all comments will be about this interesting ink.

But before we jump into the marketing spiel, the phone: Despite chunky-looking contours, the Jalou is surprisingly compact, at about 2.7 inches long, closed. Specs are healthy for a flip-phone, with 3G, a 3.2-megapixel camera, video recording, Bluetooth 2.0, A-GPS, a monochrome external display, MicroSD expansion and a full Google mobile software suite, including a YouTube app. Feature phones tend to blur together on the technology front, so styling and form factor are bigger factors than RAM or processor speed—on this front, the Jalou is bold, but possibly divisive. I like it, at least.

Now can we talk about the pitch? Because it's pretty great.

Sony Ericsson apparently did mounds of research into "art, architecture and furniture trends" while "delving deep into the couture and fashion world," just to make sure that the Jalou FELT THE PULSE—all this according to a designer named Charles. So what did ole' Chuck discover? Lots of things! Like, women hate being fat! And they love mirrors, and makeup! And pseudoscience!

The two inch screen's clever design means that at the touch of a button the screen becomes a mirror, offering a discreet way to make sure you look as good as your mobile phone. It is also the first Sony Ericsson to feature Walk Mate step counter, to help you stay in shape wherever you go. It also has an exclusive fashion interface which automatically updates with zodiac signs and special events throughout the year.

Where's recipe book, because women love to cook, amirite fellas? At any rate, the Jalou, which, being a machine, doesn't actually harbor specific views about gender politics, is coming sometime in Q4, price TBD. [Sony Ericsson]

The Kush is basically a plastic peg that ladies with ample bosoms can place between their breasts to keep them propped up. $55 for such a basic device seems like total insanity to me but, again, I don't have boobs, so I don't know how valuable such an item may be to interested parties. [YouTube]

This method seems like it'd work in theory. Being able to withstand a woman staring at you angrily for minutes at a time is a skill you have to work on developing. 96 minutes is a long time, however, and Mark Wilson says he only needs about 4 minutes. [Crunchinatrix]

Tissue in the urethrovaginal space of the women who were no stranger to vaginal orgasms was, apparently, thicker than in that of the non-vaginal ones. This, says Janini, is evidence that women without any visible evidence of a G-spot cannot have a vaginal orgasm.

Beverly Whipple of Rutger's University School of Nursing in Newark, the team which coined the term G-Spot, is sceptical of Janini's findings. "It is an intriguing study, but it doesn't necessarily mean that women who don't experience orgasm don't have any tissue there." She reckons that the test would benefit from having women stimulate themselves first, and then repeating the ultrasound tests, as the area is believed to swell under physical pressure.

Janini is planning to continue his studies (of course he is) but says that women should not feel despair if they are unable to have vaginal orgasms. "One clear finding is that each woman is different," he says. "This is one reason why women are so interesting." And I thought it was our brains. [New Scientist]

The Orgasmatron, which is currently awaiting approval by the FDA for the treatment of "female orgasm dysfunction," is a box about the size of an Altoids tin (although he's working on shrinking it to the size of a couple sticks of gum) that has two thin wires that attach to the nerves in your spine responsible for sexual pleasure. You then hit a button on the remote and hocus pocus, you get yourself one 100% real orgasm. How's it feel?

Women who have used the device say they feel as if their clitoris and vagina are actually being stimulated, to quite realistic effect. ("One woman asked me, 'Would it be considered adultery if I gave the remote control to someone other than my husband?' " Meloy says.)

Some volunteers also report fleeting episodes of clenched foot muscles, Meloy says, probably a result of electrical pulses leaving the spine and stimulating nearby motor nerves. (He wonders if the phenomenon might somehow be related to a common orgasm description: "My toes curled.")

And when the device's pulse intensity is cranked up to maximum, Meloy says, some women find their vaginal and rectal muscles squeezing rhythmically in time with the pulses, even before the orgasmic finale.

Meloy says he has also implanted two impotent men with the device. Both volunteers were able to achieve an erection, he says, and reportedly had powerful ejaculations.

Unfortunately for the orgasm-deprived, when the Orgasmatron comes to market in two or three years it'll probably cost about $12,000, which is gonna be tough to justify for most people. Personally, the traditional method has always worked just fine for me, but when it comes to the big O I can't judge anyone for going out of their way to guarantee results. [LA Times via io9]

Know your camera, whether digital or film. Shoot at 125th of a second to freeze motion and at an f-stop of at least 5.6 for a greater depth of field. The f-stop determines how much light is let in to the sensor, affecting what parts of the image are in focus and how sharp it is. An ideal f-stop would be f-11. Do these things and your images will be sharp.

Use a soft light source. Outside, shoot in open shade, not direct sunlight. Inside, use window light as your main light. If you shoot close enough to the window, you should get enough light to shoot at 125th and f-11. If you shoot in Auto mode, the camera will make all these choices for you. If your light level is low, then use the on-camera flash, just for fill light. Still, use as much available light as possible. The on-camera flash alone is too harsh a light for glamour lighting.

Spend time with the girl on styling. Choose wardrobe, colors and settings that flatter her. Go with what she feels good in.

Have her use soft natural glamour makeup.

Now you are ready to go for it. Don't be afraid to shoot too much, then cut out the bad shots later. And learn from your mistakes (which you will definitely make). Give the girl some of the good shots. [Earl Miller - This link contains explicit hardcore images and is extremely NSFW.]

These sets of videos belong to Bikinirama, three German ladies that enjoy swimwear and destroying electronics equally. The video above shows them demolishing a PowerBook, but there's monitors, CD players and record players as well. No ball breaking, but that's probably more of a hobby than something they need to be paid for. – Jason Chen

Among its ladyfeatures, there's the diary and calendar (men don't need to keep track of the date and/or their personal thoughts), a shopping list (men don't need to buy things), a discount manager (men pay full price), body weight index (for the fatties), and basal metabolic rate measurement (same as above, chubby).

So is this really a women's phone? You tell us.

Then again, seeing as the prices for PS3 auctions on eBay have "nosedived" since the console was actually release—they're still going for about $1100—maybe this is the only way to differentiate yourself from the other pneumonia-ridden nerds who stood outside for two days to get a PS3. – Jason Chen
