The Toaster that Longed to Be a VCR

While most of our homes resemble some ’60s sci-fi TV show, adorned in A/V equipment loaded to the gills with LEDs, our kitchens have remained sadly tasteful. That was, until this Jacob Jensen toaster. Resembling a VCR turned on its side, the Jacob Jensen one-slot toaster features LED-backlit buttons that will bring a blue home…

OS X iWork Trojan Revamped, Repackaged, Rereleased in Photoshop

The nasty OS X trojan from last week has resurfaced, and this time hits software pirates where it hurts the most: in Photoshop. https://gizmodo.com/torrented-copies-of-iwork-09-come-laced-with-a-nasty-os-5137161 The trojan has been retooled a bit too, presumably to foil the fixes that were issued after the initial iLife scare. I’m sure a patched fix will come out soon enough,…

PSP to Come in New, Festive “Carnival Colors”

OK, when we were brainstorming new functionality for the PSP, who out there requested four new “carnival colors” instead of a second analog stick? https://gizmodo.com/six-ways-the-psp-could-make-the-ps3-infinitely-better-5132128 Beginning March 5th, Japan will have access to the PSP in Radiant Red, Vibrant Blue, Bright Yellow and Spirited Green.

Skeleton Bicycle Will Give Me Nightmares for Weeks

I don’t know what’s wrong with this thing. It’s not the metal skeleton that gives me the chills. It’s probably the posture. If there are bikes in hell, they are probably like this one. The art piece is called Bio-Cycle, and was made out of metal by Jud Turner. If I could actually ride it,…

Yuen’To Music Ball is Great for Listening to Music, Bopping Heads

Clearly a product of the deep-sea geothermal vent creature school of cuteness, the Yuen’To Music Ball is an adorable, albeit expensive, powered portable speaker. Unlike most products in this category, the Music Ball was designed with usability in mind. This foamy ball will sit anywhere, dangle or swing during playback, demanding no support beyond your…

First Ever Snowmobile Double Backflip Has Me Saying AAAGHSGHHFGHHWHAT?

Are these people out of their probably-illegal-substances-driven minds? A snowmobile double backflip? How many people have been crushed doing this? No idea. But I just love to watch it. The double jump was made by Levi LaValle at the Winter X Games on a 450-pound Polaris snowmobile. I’m more the giant Antarctic snowmobile type, the…

Lego Galactica Clusterfrak So Big It Can Probably Crush a Real Cylon Baseship

Canon Liveview DSLRs Messily Hacked to Record Video

Because video recording on DSLRs is the Next Big Thing, I think, some 5D Mk II-envying Russian folks have extended the capability to Canon’s cheaper liveview-equipped DSLRs. But, unfortunately, there are lots of ‘buts’. This is as straightforward as these kinds of things can get—just run the app and start recording. How-eva: you need to…

Multitouch Implemented on G1 Android, Unofficially

Whether for fear of patent infringement or as the result of a colossal lapse in judgment, Android didn’t ship with multitouch. No worries—the hardware was ready, and the third-party developers willing to oblige. Developer Luke Hutchison has devised a way to implement multitouch in a few of the major apps (Chrome and Maps) as well…

We-Vibe Heralds New NASA’s Technology-Based Mystery Sex Toy

We-Vibe is a 60-gram sex toy designed to “fit between two people” while making love. Apparently it’s being a hit, and now its creators want to use an unknown NASA technology for their next hit: I discovered some technology developed by NASA that has never been applied to the sex toy industry. So we’ve got…

1951 Article Promises ‘Helicopters for Everybody’ (So Long As You’re Male)

Boing Boing stumbled across this fascinating look at the future of helicopters from an 1951 issue of Mechanics Illustrated.

Is Battlestar Galactica Relevant in the Obama Era?

Major plot points from Battlestar Galactica were also front page headlines over the past few years: terrorism, secret tribunals, prisoner abuse, war. Will the show continue to feel relevant with Obama running America? With only a few episodes left in the series, BSG is about to disappear from the airwaves. The question is whether it…

Pentagon Mitex Satellites Are the First to Actively Spy… On Other Satellites!

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? If we’re talking spy satellites, the answer this week became “U.S. satellites,” two of which completed a first-of-its kind maneuver that had wide-ranging ramifications for all satellites currently in orbit. Update. We should note that the Pentagon admonition is only the first time the agency has publicly commented on satellite-on-satellite spying.…

Taiyou Ropeway Provides Open, Solar-Powered Views of Very High Places

This design concept from Fredrik Hylten would replace the trusty mountain gondola with an open-faced, sun-powered pod that, thankfully, has some beefy-looking safety harnesses. The pod has two seats and a sliding floor. The two wires are better than what a ski lift-style gondola might offer, the designers says, because it’s more stable in high…
