Bill Gates Retirement Party
The Best Bill Gates Parodies Ever
So what does Bill Gates really have to show for his years of hard work? Sure he built a software empire, and yeah he has been known as the richest man alive. But those things aren't as cool as being immortalized on film and in song. Maybe. Either way, he's been cartooned, acted, clayed, and even sung about. So with Bill's retirement only days away, we thought it was only fitting we gave you a mash-up of all these green sweater, glasses wearin' characters. More »

home theater
Needless to say, if you have the cash to drop on a Pirates of the Caribbean themed home theater, getting booty probably isn't your problem—financially or sexually. For owners Paul and Emily Konold, the motivation wasn't to impress or even to pay homage to the movie franchise, it was all about recreating the fun they experienced on the original ride at Disneyland.

Pirates of the Caribbean Themed Theater: Set Sail For Some Movie Booty

Celebrate Day of the Ninja With Ninja Gadgets
Did your stupid, stupid coworkers piss you off back on talk like a Pirate day? You know, that fake holiday that lets people who think they're funny, but actually not, annoy the crap out of you by elongating the R's in every word? Today, The Day of the Ninja, is your chance to get back at them. Here are some ninja gadgets to do so. More »
robots v pirates
Apparently, piracy (real piracy, not the BitTorrented variety) is all the rage off the coast of Somalia. The pirates, who probably don't have peglegs or parrots but I picture them that way anyways, hijack ships and hold them and their equipment for ransom, sometimes killing crewmembers in the process. It isn't pretty. But the US Navy and Coast Guard have a trick up their sleeves: robotic boats.

Pirate App For iPhone Honors Talk Like a Dumbass Day
Pirates are stupid. Ninjas are where it's at. But if you somehow have the misguided notion that pirates are cool, there's this iPhone pirate app that lets you take a picture of someone and make them into a pirate. More »

Pirates vs. Ninjas Batteries (Verdict: Pointless)
Why pointless? Because ninjas totally own pirates. End of story. The AA 4-packs run $3 (plus shipping), which is a great deal for the ninja batteries since they'll assassinate rival portable electronics and power your Walkman for approximately 100 years. [Think Geek via Shiny Shiny]
The sly bastards over at The Pirate Bay are resurrecting the original big fish torrent site, Suprnova.org, complete with the classic look, in a couple of days. [TorrentFreak]

PSP Clone is a Torrent Playing Machine
Do you dream of a portable media player that has NES, SNES & SEGA MD/SMS emulation whilst also handling DIVX & XVID in its stride? Do you also dream of having a Playboy mansion and a bigger willy? Well, on the first account at least this is sure to help: Witness the thoughtfully titled 'Portable Media Player'. More after the jump. More »

Arrrrgh: Pirate Ship Mast World's Tallest LEGO Tower
Built at Legoland in California with over 465,000 bricks, this 94.3-foot pirate ship mast is the new tallest LEGO tower in the world, besting the Danes' meager 93.43-foot tower constructed last year by almost a foot. And I mean, pirate ship = awesome. More »

Steve and Bill...in Pirates of Silicon Valley
Bill and Steve go on stage in about 30 minutes or so. And before they start pulling each other's hair, and before Walt starts dancing around these two with tough questions, I'd like to take this moment to remind you of Pirates of Silicon Valley, the made-for-TV, unauthorized 1999 "docudrama" of how Steve got rich and cool, and Bill got so rich he doesn't even care how cool he is. (Only $7.49 on Amazon, btw.) More »

DRM-free iTunes Songs Have Embedded User Info
So now that you have iTunes Plus that means you can go ahead and download DRM-free songs. Awesome, right? Yes, it's very awesome. But if you thought that meant you could now buy songs from iTunes and then torrent them to help your ratio at Senor Sleazy's Pirate Palace, you might want to hold off. More »

Blu-ray Players Have Problems With Pirates of the Caribbean Discs
If you've just purchased the first two Pirates movies on Blu-ray in order to get psyched up for the third one, you probably came up with a whole lot less Johnny Depp and a whole lot more firmware problems than you expected. Apparently at least two players—Samsung's BD-P1200 and Sony's BDP-S1—have difficulty playing back the first two movies, thanks to outdated BD java. And by difficulty, we mean they throw up their hands and give up like a fat man at the starting line of a 10K. More »

A-DATA Pirates of the Caribbean Flash Memory
A-DATA may be a little late to the party, but they have designed and released a variety of flash memory modules with a PotC theme. Available is a regular flash drive bearing Depp's character. Also available are SD Duo cards. These are like regular SD memory cards but have a USB module so they can be directly plugged in to a computer. Normally I would rip on A-DATA for showing up to the PotC bandwagon party very late, but I can't hate against anything featuring Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. SD Duo pictures after the fold. More »

Pirates of the Caribbean AV Gear: Throw Good Taste to the Sharks
Here's a joke. What do you get if you cross a pirate with an astromechanical droid? Aaaarrrr2-D2. And here's another joke. What do you get if you cross Pirates Of The Caribbean with a TV-DVD player and CD player? A rather tragic Pirates-themed home entertainment set that will bring out the rapin', pillagin', ooh-arr-me-hearties sofa pirate in you. Or not. More »

iTunes Sucks Compared to Pirated Videos
iTunes is having trouble competing against the quality of pirated content. It's like déjà vu all over again when you're talking about movie downloads competing against pirated copies of the same films. Just like the old days of Napster and free music downloads running rampant because of the dearth of legal music downloads, piracy still gives you better results today. More »
