Your Smelly Ass Feet Are Killing the Planet
Your feet? They smell like a baboon's butthole. Especially at the gym. So, the brilliant dudes at places like Nike and Adidas have started lining their socks with nano-bits of silver to fight microbials and the intense funk radiating from your tootsies. It works (woohoo), but every time you wash them, some of the particles inevitably come loose from the sock and flush down the drain, ultimately winding up in local waterways. Where they poison fishies. To death. Not cool. In conclusion, have less stinky feet, thanks. [American Chemical Society via io9]

LG Prada Phone Now Comes in Silver with New, Matching UI
It's hard to believe that, just a year ago, the name of the phone on everyone's lips was LG's collaboration with Prada, the sexy touchscreen number that let its users believe that their fingers were fashion (or something). And now, post iPhone, what of the Prada phone? Well, a silver version is now available in Europe, complete with new UI (also silver, apparently) and matching silver accessories. It's available in most of Europe, but don't expect to see it Stateside anytime soon. A couple more pics after the jump. More »

LG Prada Phone Coming in Silver
This isn't spectacular news unless you're the Silver Surfer or the silver-haired fox our intern was chatting up last week, but the LG Prada phone is coming in silver all across Europe some time later this year. So if colour was the reason why you've been holding out on getting one of these fashion phones, well, there ya go. [Pocket Lint]

iPod nano Becomes Gold-Plated Zune with Gilty Couture
There's a new Swarovski-encrusting, gold-plating organization on the rise, going by the name of Gilty Couture. It's got a wide range of precious metal hard-cases from $55 to $200, with crystals "evoking the Gilded Age of the late 1800s." However, one enclosure in particular evokes something else: it gives the newest "fat" iPod nano a Swarovski trim that makes look an awful lot like a first-gen Zune. My guess is that this was unintentional, but hey, if you're one of those fence-ridin' types, this might be your ideal stocking stuffer, in gold or silver. [Gilty Couture]

Gold and Silver Jabra JX10s Make Seat Cushions Hungry
Having taken the tiny Jabra JX10 Bluetooth earbud for a spin, I can say without a doubt that it is among the most losable earpieces on the market. I believe the loaner unit once spent an entire month down in the motorized track system beneath my driver's seat. So it makes complete sense that some people can now pay not the standard $75 for the basic plastic one, but over $500 for a limited edition model in solid gold. The bigger waste of money may be the sterling silver JX10 for just over $400: since the original comes with a silver finish, nobody but you and your accountant may ever notice the difference.

Samsung NV3 Gets Orientally Lacquered
The cheap-yet-good Samsung NV3 cameras get a slight upgrade, as Samsung's giving them two optional finishes. For those who don't like the black brushed metal look, there's going to be a silver version and an NV3 OPL version. OPL, of course, stands for Oriental Plant Lacquer—doesn't everyone know that?
