iPhone 3.0 Streaming Bluetooth Audio To a Toyota Venza

As you probably already know, the upcoming iPhone 3.0 software was upgraded with Stereo Bluetooth A2DP audio. That means you can pair it with a compatible device—like the stereo installed in this Toyota Venza. As you will see in the video, the process looks pretty smooth—even with beta software.

“Whenever There’s A Bad Smell, Blame The Dog.” Indeed.

I’m of two minds about K-9, Doctor Who‘s robot dog: on the one hand, I love him. On the other, his advent signaled Who’s massive decline. Both sides of me hate this K-9 spinoff trailer.

Nintendo DS Health Control Game Timer is So Asian It Hurts

This Health Control Game Timer may be incredibly weird to Americans, but Asians know exactly what this is for—taking the place of parental nagging. The HCGT does two things: beep when your face gets too close to the screen and beep when you reached the 30/60/90/120 minute game timer limit. This is essentially what my…
