Dell's Wasteful Shipping Habits Take a Steamy Dump on the Environment

There are few practices as stupid, simple and damaging to the environment as wasteful packing. Take a look at this ludicrous box that Dell used to send a 2GB thumb drive. It's about 100 times too big, and it's not just wasteful because of the cardboard used. I, for one, am sick of seeing crap like this. More »

Latest by Xenobiologista: @ubergoose: who do you get supplies from? Fisher Scientific shipping to where I am (UW-Madison) usually pads stuff with brown paper or recyclable airbags, and the boxes aren't ridiculously overstuffed unless you order like one thermometer at a time. more »

British Protecting Local Textards by Padding Lampposts

Apparently, there's been a large number of injuries in England caused by boneheads walking and texting and then walking into solid objects. Rather than create some sort of Darwinian euthanasia program like I would if I was Duke or Lord or Bobby or whatever the leader of that country goes by, the Brits have decided to simply place padding around the lampposts, making them idiotproof for their populace. It's currently being tested on Brick Lane in London, and if it's successful it'll spread to other cities in England. Feel free to use the comments section to bemoan what a shameful statement this makes about your country and claim that you are one of the few smart ones, Brits. [Yahoo]

CES Separates the Wheat From the Chaff with Blogger and Press Badges

High drama at CES! Instead of all of us being united under the umbrella of "press," some of us were arbitrarily deemed "bloggers" and others "press." I'm press, but Chen is a blogger. We aren't sure exactly what the difference is, but I assume that the CES admins will force Chen to wait for me to write up stories dryly and then he'll link to them and add some sassy commentary. We refer to his badge as the "white badge of shame." Sorry Chen, you lowly blogger.

Woz Pulled over Doing 104mph in His Prius

Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak knows how to get his name in the news. First there was the rumor of his extraordinarily creepy romance with unfunnylady Kathy Griffin, and now we find out that he got busted going 104mph… in a Prius. More »

Kurt Cobain, the Action Figure

Boy, I hope that Courtney Love is making a lot of money off this one. The Kurt Cobain action figure immortalizes the poster boy of grunge rock in 18 inches of dyed plastic (was the dyed part distasteful?) Sorry. More »

iWood Case for iPhone Covers Up That Which is Already Purdy

Here come the iPhone cases, and the iWood by Miniot is the swankiest one yet, crafted of some fine-looking mahogany. It has a thin sheet of polycarbonate over the iPhone's screen that will still let you do the touchy-feely thing for which it's so well loved, but that plastic will still protect the phone at the same time.
