Weird Combo of the Day: Free iPod Nano With Twelve-Pack of Caulk

Oh, caulk! Is there anything you can't do? Not only do you allow us to plug up holes by squirting your oozing, white fluid-like substance all over the place, but you come in a long and pleasing missile shape. And if you get too difficult to clean up after using, all we have to do is cut off a bit of the tip! How convenient. And now you even come with a free iPod nano if we buy 12 of you? C'mon! How can we not love caulk? [Found in Egersund Norway thanks to Erlend]

Norwegian Ski Hotel Placed Right On The Slopes

io9 found this great concept by Danish design architects BIG which places a hotel against the side of a mountain with the idea that hotel patrons can finish off a ski or snowboard run by riding directly to their floor. The hotel looks absolutely epic, and I like the way the wavy lines of the hotel match the tracks left on snow by skis and snowboards. [BIG via io9] More »

Bicycle Lift: A Video

The lift actually moves a lot faster than we thought it would, carrying passengers up this pretty damn steep hill since 1993. So the lift's more out of necessity than out of laziness. More »

Latest by commentmaster: To hell with that thing. We should just attach motors to the bikes. We could call them motorcycles. I mean what is the point of riding bikes if you are not going to peddle? more »

iTunes Declared Illegal in Norway


After filing an initial complaint back in June 2006, the Norwegian Consumer Council has deemed Fairplay (iTunes DRM) illegal in Norway with the possibility of France and Germany following suit. Evidently the Norse people aren't too happy about the fact that Apple's DRM technology restricts files downloaded from the iTunes store from being played only on iPod and not other music players. They feel consumers who have lawfully obtained these files are being negatively affected by these anti-piracy measures. Juicy, riveting legal details in the link below. –Dana Bushman More »
