You probably don't need to go this far to ensure it doesn't get lost again, but hey, nice work anyways. [Thereifixedit via Make]

<![CDATA[Want a 4K TV? Sony Has a $76,000 Set With Your Name On It]]> Regular HDTV is so last year. What you really need is a 4k TV, one with four times the resolution of HD. And hey, Sony's new TRIMASTER offers just that, for a price.

Yes, this $76,583, 56-inch set sports a resolution of 3840x2160, which means you can cram four full-res HD feeds in there at one time. You know, for watching four football games at once, or four movies at once. Samsung announced a similar, larger set a couple years ago, but as far as we know it never actually became a real product. This thing is all real.

Sure, this thing isn't meant for normal consumers, as the price makes it clear. But that doesn't mean you can't get one if you have the scratch. Come on, go for it. It's only $76,000. [AV Watch via Engadget]

<![CDATA[TAC-15 Tactical Crossbow Makes Me Wish for a Zombie Outbreak]]> Hunting will get a lot more interesting next month when PSE releases their TAC-15 crossbow. It mounts directly on a AR-15 rifle, allowing you to swap between both weapons with minimal tinkering.

Why would you need a crossbow when you are already holding an AR-15? I cannot envision a scenario where it makes sense—unless you are invited to some island beyond the bounds of law where men are hunted for sport. You don't want to make it too easy, so you hunt with the crossbow. Then again, we are talking about the most dangerous game of all here, so you have the high-powered rifle as a backup. Speaking of backups, you might want to add the G.R.A.D. .22-cal knife gun to your double-kill arsenal just in case. Hit the following link to see a video of the TAC-15 in action.

<![CDATA[Luxury A380 Interior is Just What We Need to Start a Populist Revolt]]> With the economy the way it is, I can think of no better time to announce a two-level mansion-like interior for your personal Airbus A380. For when you want to shame the dudes with Cessnas.

The VIP Saloon is a design from Lufthansa Technik, the decorating and customization arm of the German airline. It's about as over-the-top as you can get, and I can't even fathom the ballpark price for what this would be, but it's certainly more than anyone I know can afford. And despite the recession, you know there's at least one Saudi prince out there who's going to hop on board. Enjoy it, you dick.

In any case, what really hits home the scope of this is the layout of both levels. Just check this shit out:

<![CDATA[Wii Overkill Hand Cannon Is Dirty Harry Approved]]> When I think shooting stuff, I think Clint Eastwood, a guy who would never carry the Wii Zapper into a room full of zombies. But he'd love the Overkill Hand Cannon, punks.

Bundled with The House of the Dead Overkill or purchasable from Amazon UK for $17, the Overkill Hand Cannon is beautiful in that it's the anti-Wii, the anti-family-hanging-out-on-Friday-night before their Disney Channel marathon.

For a Wii peripheral, it is indeed "overkill," clearly manufactured with the intent to be spraypainted black before holding up a Gamestop, its namesake intact. [Amazon UK via Kotaku]

<![CDATA[I Played Portal on a 150-Inch Plasma HDTV and You Didn't]]>

On Friday, Mahoney and I went to Panasonic HQ to check out one of the first prototypes of their ludicrous 150-inch plasma TV. This thing puts the 103-incher that I checked out last year to shame, weighing a whopping 1700 pounds before the stand is attached and sucking up 7kW of power while it runs. We hooked up our energy-efficient-in-comparison PS3 and suffered through playing a bunch of video games on it to report back to you. You're welcome! Today, a taste, with me sizing up a weighted companion cube in Portal, above, and, after the jump, seeing what a 42-inch steering wheel on Gran Turismo would be like in real life and learning the ropes in Call of Duty 4. Check back tomorrow for a full report out Mahoney's in-depth FAQ on the set and my essay on our visit to Panasonic HQ.



Yes, my job is pretty awesome sometimes.

<![CDATA[Horn Subwoofer Takes Up Crazy Man's Entire Basement]]> While you might think you have a pretty sizable subwoofer, when it's compared to this crazy Italian man's subwoofer, it's downright pathetic. That's because he essentially converted his entire basement into one ridiculously large subwoofer.Update: OK, so this is a few years old (circa 2000), but I'd never seen it and it seems like many of you haven't either. So I'm leaving it up, but if you are offended by things that were made a few years ago you've been warned.

The "Real Total Horn" consists of two cavities, each three feet deep and 31 feet long, functioning as horns and driven by eight 18-inch woofers each. It releases more than 110 dB/1W/1 meter sensitivity starting from below 10 Hz aimed at the listening position. Let me tell you, there's not a better suited sound system in existence for producing an effective brown note.

And really, frequencies that low are barely audible, but I have no doubt that this thing will make action movies shake his living room way more than any other sub out there. I'm not sure I'd want to do this to my own home, but I'd certainly give it a test run. [Royal Device via DVICE]

<![CDATA[Blickman Industrial Bassinets]]> For those of you without kids, please read this post for some good poop jokes. Good. Now that we've gotten them out of the way, let's talk about this bassinet, shall we?

As we all recall, our wee ones were sequestered in very cool, very stainless-steeley bassinets at the hospital. They're usually clear with a curvy, cool stand and we can only assume that they'd survive a nuclear blast if not a load of wet, green poop.

That said, under no circumstances should any of you buy one of these. They're available for about $1,200 new and considerably less used, but please, for the love of god, why! I know the desire to buy the best for our little mistakes, but this is going too far. The bugger will outgrow this in a matter of minutes and unless you live on a roller-skate rink, there is little chance you'll need to roll this thing around much. So please, step away from the credit card. Don't make us come over there with a claw hammer.
