    Careful, You'll Poke an Eye Out with That Thing

    How might one repair a cyborg's eye in the future? Why, with this handy eyeball removing tool. How does one forget what's seen in this image? Macallan 12 years, neat, that's how. [Bloomers and Bows via Boing Boing Gadgets]

    There Shouldn't Be A GPS Tracking System In My Lingerie

    I'm all for naughty, oh-come-treat-me-like-a-bad-girl-tonight scraps of lace. What I'm not such a fan of is trashy oh-come-follow-me-using-the-built-in-GPS lingerie. I don't care if it's pretty, frilly designer lingerie. It's got a damn tracking system embedded in the fabric. More »

    Apple iThink (It's Not Real, But You Know You Want It)

    While it would be a shame to lose the understated flare of Jonathan Ive design, the prospect of a glowing Apple logo embedded in the rear of my skull would be a worthy trade. More »

    Meat Band-Aids and Mass Production of Living Tissue

    I'm touching a wet slab of protein, what feels like a paper-thin slice of bologna. It's supple, slimy, but unlike meat, if you were to slice it down the center today, tomorrow the wound would heal. It's factory-grown living tissue. More »
