As if there weren't enough iPad jokes already, it turns out that there's a Japanese product—a high-tech adult diaper—called the Aipad. You can guess the pronunciation by the fact that I'm even writing about this.

Uh, I don't have a clue what's going on here. All I know is, it's Star-Trek-related, and it's very, very NSFW. Update: Found another pic! [Flickr via Dinner in the Darkroom]

The Washington Post has this bizarre Final-Four style bracket to determine the "most influential person of the decade," and with President Bush's defeat of Sergey Brin and Larry Page, all the tech figures are now out of the race. Lame.

A resourceful Pennsylvania man waterproofed his router using a box and tape before sticking it onto his windowsill to use a nearby library's wi-fi. Too bad that he taped the gadget up so well that it looked like a bomb.
