Belkin Powerline HD First to Reach Gigabit Ethernet Speeds

Network-over-powerline solutions have never been bad—their convenience just came at a cost of speed. That’s no longer the case with Belkin’s Gigabit Powerline HD. Reaching data rates of 1000Mbps (over the former speed of 200Mbps), Belkin’s new $150 Gigabit Powerline HD Starter Kit includes two Powerline adapters, allowing you to stream multiple uncompressed HD data…

Olympus Discovers Will It Blend, Uses It to Sell Cameras

Have you guys heard of this "Will It Blend?" thing? Apparently it’s all the rage on the internet! That’s why the cutting-edge minds at Olympus jumped on this new fad to make a viral video of their own. To be fair, it’s a clever appropriation of the Will It Blend meme, and it does deliver…

Yes, It’s A Charlie Kaufman Pastiche Starring Paul Giamatti. Got A Problem With That?

Cold Souls stars Paul Giamatti as an actor named Paul Giamatti, struggling with ennui. He gets his soul removed in an arcane procedure, but things don’t go as he’d hoped, in this new trailer. Is “Charlie Kaufman” becoming a genre? As derivative as Cold Souls is — and it looks very derivative, so far —…

QNAP SS-839 Pro Turbo NAS Shrinks Mega RAID to Notebook Sizes

The QNAP SS-839 Pro Turbo NAS is the smallest 8-bay networked attached storage solution on the market. In fact, it’s just a hair larger than a 7-inch cube. How is it so tiny? The SS-839 uses 2.5-inch SATA drives instead of the clunky 3.5s you find in desktops (and most NAS systems). But beyond its…

Cold Souls Shows a World Where Fancy Machines Capture Our Souls

Cold Souls stars Paul Giamatti playing himself. In it, he discovers a company that extracts, deep-freezes and stores people’s souls. Unfortunately, it turns out that when you take souls out of the body, a lucrative soul-trafficking business sprouts up. Sure, it looks like a straight combo of Being John Malkovich and The Simpsons episode Bart…

Shia May Be Our Last Man After All

We Like This PS3 Specifically Because It Has Nothing To Do With Steampunk

We’re totally over the steampunk movement. Seriously guys, give it a rest. But this moisturegoon PS3 is really something special. Outfitted with a wood veneer finish and brass detailing, this Damnation Timberclad PS3 is clearly a member of the anti-steampunk movement known in some circles as vaporhood, waterprick, condensationjerk or aquaramones. The modification leaves the…
