Toilet Seat Scale Makes You Feel Five Pounds Lighter

The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning before you eat and, preferably, after you have used the bathroom. That's where the toilet seat scale comes in.

The best thing about it? It builds confidence:

"Whew, that was a fierce battle. I feel five pounds lighter. Saaay...I am five pounds lighter!"

Too bad it is only a concept, because the only way to get this kind of functionality is by dropping thousands on one of those fancy Japanese tech toilets. [Yanko]

Multitaskers rejoice, Intel is going to start using seperate decoders for HD DVD and Blu-ray playback in certain versions of their Santa Rosa chips. Now your pewny graphics card won't have put up with your love of High-Def on its own.

That means no more computer slow down when you're watching Planet Earth on Blu-ray (or HD DVD) and checking out Gizmodo at the same time. That's a win for us, and a win for you. Thanks Intel. – Ben Longo
