JVC HP-FXC50 Headphones First to Put the Speaker Driver Inside Your Ear

A new set of in-ear phones to be released in Japan later this year is claiming to be the first to have speaker drivers small enough to actually fit inside your ear canal. Usually the drivers are in the bulbous part of the buds, with a narrow hollow channel leading into the ear. JVC is claiming better sound and isolation because there's less room between your eardrum and the speaker. I love in-ear phones, but personally I'm fine with giving my tympanic membranes a little breathing room. [Tech ON]

This poor bastard signed up as a volunteer for this "science" show and ended up having to stand with his junk in front of a tennis ball machine. The test? To see what happens to your body during a solid strike to the ol' hangin' brains. More »

Guy Who Uses Stun Gun on Son to Toughen Him Up Jailed, Unsurprisingly

The father of an 18-month-old child is off to jail for four years after being found guilty of using a stun gun on the boy. His reason for using the 100,000-volt Dragonfire, which resulted in muscle damage to the kid's heart, was because he wanted his son to be "the toughest cage fighter ever." Yeah, the toughest heart-damaged, cage-fighting 18-month-old ever. More »

Nintendo Losing Out on $1 Billion from Holiday Wii Shortage?

Nintendo has already gone on record stating that the Wii shortages have been a detriment to the company—that they've lost out on potential sales since much of Nintendo's target casual gaming audience won't bother with it down the line—even if this NYT article has statements that differ. But while we knew Nintendo had screwed up, we had no clue just how much this mistake cost them in real, speculated dollars. James Lin, senior analyst at the MDB Capital Group, puts the estimated lost sales at $1.3 billion stating that, "They could easily sell double what they are selling." That's the price of success, I guess. [nyt]

Dream Lover 2000 Keeps That Dawg on a Shocking Leash

This "male management and boyfriend training unit" is an add-on to that CB-3000 male chastity belt that attaches to a submissive male's member, keeping it, and him, out of harm's way or out of anybody else's pants. This Dream Lover 2000 add-on takes it a step further, letting the poor sap's mistress remotely administer shocks, keeping him in line and punishing him as much as he so richly deserves. More »

Dell Promotes Laptops With Toshiba Destruction

Dell's new promotion of their Latitude XT tablet PC gets personal—claiming frustration with bad tablets, they sawed Toshiba's competing M400 Portege 3500 in half. We're not sure how, if at all, Toshiba plans to retaliate. But we humbly suggest the use of eggs, toilet paper and a half-broken bottle of Jack when proceeding.
Thanks Matt!

Sprint Dumps Needy Customers

Did you ever have a boyfriend/girlfriend who seem really cool until they start calling all the time, forcing you to dump them even though they were super hot? No? Well Sprint has, except they call these crazy boyfriends/girlfriends their customers. In a "Dear John" letter for the record books, Sprint dumped their most high-maintenance customers. Here's the letter in full: More »
