This Is How Angry Birds Would Look On a BlackBerry

Angry Birds looks exactly how I imagined it would be on a BlackBerry. A whole load of fun. Too bad it’s not the real thing. Actually, aside from Breakout, the only game that I think could work on Blackberry is a port of The Hobbit for ZX Spectrum. [Twitpic via Alberto Calvo via Felipe Ribeiro…

Behold the fierce, three-headed majesty of King Ghidorah

Let’s not mince words: Ghidorah is the best giant monster. Partly due to having three heads that shoot lightning, but also because he’s from space and can fly. In this picture by Josh Ellingson, Ghidorah is ultra-regal. San Francisco Bay Area artist Ellingson does illustrations for geeky magazines like Wired, and clearly does some geeking…

Beyond Ynth for iPhone: Cute Bug Faces Tough Puzzles

In Beyond Ynth (and Beyond Ynth HD, for the iPad), you play as Kribl, a chipper little insect who solves puzzles in four brightly animated worlds. But don’t let the cutesy look fool you—these puzzles are tough. Maybe it’s just because I’m used to playing iPhone games that only require half my attention while I’m…

Bing Maps Experiences Major Delays En Route to Transit Direction Party

Bing maps has transit directions now! Which is something you also could have found on HopStop five years ago and Google Maps for a couple of years now. I’m as big a fan of Treasure Map mode as anybody, but maybe you should focus on getting the core functions out before the gimmicks. Bing’s got…

The Cabin In The Woods could become Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard’s great lost project

The Cabin In The Woods, the genre-smashing horror film directed by Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) from a script he co-wrote with Joss Whedon, has been delayed yet again.

…Al-Ahram! Egypt’s state-run and largest newspaper, whose editors weren’t happy to see their Big Boss—President Hosni Mubarak—in the last place of this photo at the White House. Thankfully, Photoshop made him win the race, even beating President Obama. The photo was taken by Pablo Martinez Monsivais of the Associated Press, during last Wednesday peace talks…

A Chilean telescope fires a laser into space to create a virtual star in the heart of the Milky Way

The European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope is shooting a freakin big laser into space, to create a virtual star to compensate for the Earth’s atmospheric interference.

Cyborg astronauts will be needed to colonize outer space

Humans are built to thrive on Earth, but even a yearlong round-trip mission to Mars could pose major medical risks. If we want humans to colonize the solar system, we may have to fundamentally alter our biology and become cyborgs. That’s the argument put forward by Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum senior curator Roger…

But how often do we pay attention to the technology surrounding our gear, the packing material that keeps it safe? Whether organic or man-made, squishy or rigid, there’s a deliberate method to every type of…

Three-Way Phone Sex Hotline Prank Caller Owes Sprint $90,000

At the age of 24, you’d think Dallas man Jermmie Marquis Davis would’ve outgrown prank phone-calling, but as it transpires, he racked up $90,000 in calls to the Illinois National Runaway Switchboard—three-way-calling them with a sex hotline. When The Dallas Morning News called Davis to get a comment on their story, he first told them…

Looking fresh off the cow’s back, these limited-edition iPhone and iPod cases are pretty much the most eco-friendly you’ll get. They’re from sustainable US fashion designer Prophetik, and made with iAccessory-maestros Griffin.
