Cabinet-Mounted iPad Docks Are Cheaper Than Plasmas, I Suppose

What luxury to have cabinet-mounted iPads! What luxury to have an iPad at all, really. At $70 (plus the cost of an iPad) lazy recipe-readers could have one under every cupboard in the kitchen. Sign me up for 10. Griffin’s cabinet mount dock is probably not intended for holding an iPad permanently, but I like…

Flip Phones Made Cool: Japan’s Transparent X-Ray Phone

See-through things are cool. Anyone who ever pined for a transparent Game Boy (or was lucky enough to own one) knows that. Even if flippers are unfashionable, I still want to hotfoot it over to Japan to scoop this up. Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka’s x-ray phone is actually going on sale in Japan under the…

Let’s Remember Bob Guccione for Omni Mag, Not Just the Porn

Perhaps most famous for smut-mag Penthouse, we’d rather remember Guccione for the tech/sci-fi magazine Omni, which hasn’t been seen on newsagents’ shelves since 1995. It was hugely inspirational for its time, when robots, space and gadgets were on everyone’s minds. It was founded in 1978 when PopSci was already over a century old., but you…

70-Terabyte Homemade Computer Can Hold 24 Million Songs

70,000 movies at DVD quality. Or about 24 million songs. That’s what this home computer can hold inside its 60 hard drives—70 terabytes in a wood cabinet that uses 40 fans to keep things from burning. Heyzeuschrist. I wonder how long before he uses those SATA 3TB drives to upgrade it to 90 terabytes. [English…

TV Cameraman Keeps Filming After A Baseball Bat Smacks His Gear

We’ve seen what happened when a golf ball gently bounced off a camera lens, but what happens when a baseball bat is violently flung toward a very expensive camera? And more importantly: What happens to the guy holding the gear? https://gizmodo.com/tiger-woods-shoots-golf-ball-directly-at-photographers-5654535 Turns out that very little happens to both camera and cameraman.

The one genuinely creepy moment from Uwe Boll’s BloodRayne 2

Billy the Kid is an evil vampire, and he’s rigged a bunch of children to the world’s weirdest Rube Goldberg death trap, involving weights, pulleys and nooses, in this bizarrely creeptastic scene from BloodRayne 2: Deliverance. To be honest, BloodRayne 2 is a bit of a letdown, especially after the sheer trashy brilliance of Bloodrayne,…

In 1994, Roger Corman produced a $2 million adaptation of The Fantastic Four that never hit theaters. This deranged lost film introduced novel twists to the Four’s origin story…like an evil hobo jeweler. Why wasn’t Corman’s version ever released in theaters? Here’s the text from the back of a bootleg DVD readily available at comic…

Sure there are a lot of superficial differences between Facebook and Twitter. But this is really the only distinction that matters. I might add that both tend to make me hate myself a little more, but that’s neither here nor there. [YouFail via The Next Web]

Proving that our childhood years spent with crayola firmly in hand haven’t gone to waste, new research from University of Wisconsin-Madison uses a scanning probe microscope to draw and erase conducting nanowires. The researchers put three-atom-thick layers of lanthanum-aluminum-oxide on top of strontium-titanium-oxide, which then forms an “electron gas” between the layers. The tip of…
