Cane Map Empowers Old Man Adventurers

When we see something like this Cane Map, all we can think of is the Sean Connery-esque Colonel Gentleman from Venture Bros., but we suspect any old dude will find it incredibly useful. You see, it's a cane, but it's also a map—the duality of which probably exploded as many minds when it was invented back in 1940 as the atomic bombs tests around the same time. Except this map (made for the American Legion National Convention) is of Boston, where the only treasure you'll find are the highways leading out. [CooperHewitt via Wired via Sci Fi]

Mac Users Are a Bunch of Geezers

I've never been a fan of "analyst studies." They're usually so out of touch with reality that there's no point to them. Take this one for instance. Market research firm MetaFacts did some investigative reporting and found out that almost half (46%) of Mac users are 55 or older, whereas only 25% of the Wintel crowd hits that age bracket. Who has the 18-24 demographic? Gateway. I can see the Gateway part having some credibility (I got my first Gateway Pentium II when I was that age), but the Mac part? C'mon. – Louis Ramirez More »
