In WALL-E’s World, We’re All Shopaholics In Spandex

A new commercial for the future super-store Buy N’ Large shows how the humans of tomorrow will live in WALL-E’s world: we all get matching tight singlets. Draped head to toe in red and white spandex our future is looking pretty constricting, yet leisurely. BNL’s robots serve our every need, so their human masters can…

Cthugrosh and the Lords of Cthul Are Pure Evil in Sculpted Plastic

Of all the monster factions in the upcoming miniatures game Monsterpocalypse, the Lords of Cthul are the evilest. In the words of designer Eric Yaple, “Fueled by the worship of their cultists, these fiends seek to draw life from the Earth as a starving man sucks the marrow from a bone.” We’ve got inside info…

Crazy Talk: Why Small Laptops Are Going to Save Windows XP

Windows Vista hasn’t been adopted joyfully by the masses, but consumers don’t always have a say when it comes to the next Windows OS they’ll be using. Most of us have to run whatever comes preinstalled on our machine of choice. And according to Microsoft, starting June 30th of this year, that OS will be…

Flip Mino: Our First Footage (So Far, So Good)

I just got my hands on the Flip Mino and I’m impressed with it so far. It’s way thinner than it’s big brother Ultra, but remains almost the same height and width, which is good because it’s not small enough to lose. The USB placement is well hidden on this design and I think it’s…

Less Torchwood, More Often in 2009

Fans of Doctor Who aren’t going to enjoy 2009 at all. There’s the already-announced lack of a regular season for the Time Lord’s own series next year (the show will instead be represented by four special episodes before Steven Moffat takes over with the 2010-slated fifth season). But worse, now it’s been confirmed that Torchwood,…

Security Cam Footage of Cubicle Rage to the Extreme is Every Cube Dweller’s Fantasy

Click to viewThis is a security cam video of a guy who, to put it lightly, is sick of working in a cubicle farm. If you’re looking to get yourself fired in a way that’ll legally prevent you from ever entering the office or interacting with any of your former coworkers again, with a free…

Original Jawbone Goes Inexpensive

While paying over $100 for Aliph’s latest Jawbone may be a bit out of your financial means, their last gen model-which is still pretty great-has gone on clearance. Sixth Avenue Electronics is offering the Bluetooth headset today only for just $48.88 (plus $3.95 shipping). Red color only, but hey, red is flashy and you could…

Spirit of St Louis Boombox Gives Your iPod Retro Aviation Chic

Forget the boringly-plastic iPod boomboxes we’ve shown you before: I want one of these. It’s in period aviation “Spirit of St Loius” style: wooden cabinet, shiny dials and satisfyingly chunky switches, meant to look like a WWII battlefield radio. Inside there’s an iPod dock, CD player and AM-FM radio that’s also an alarm clock. It’s…

Have Superhero Movies Killed The Summer Movie Season?

It’s the argument that quite literally some people are talking about: Are superhero movies responsible for the death of the high-quality summer blockbuster? You may be scratching your head, wondering when the last high-quality summer blockbuster wasn’t a superhero movie. (First person to say Independence Day gets punched.) But Entertainment Weekly isn’t afraid to take…

The PlayStation 3 Works Well Enough With Tablets

It’s one of those things that makes sense, but we’d never tried before. One tablet-happy artist decided to plug in his Wacom tablet into his PS3. The result? It was essentially plug ‘n play. While a combination of the PS3’s firmware and third party game design mean that it could never be used play 90%…

Glowing, Flashing USB Speakers are Ahem Bullet-shaped

Okay, okay: I know what they look like, but since the official description is “bullet-like,” that’s what I’m sticking with. These 7.5-inch tall, cylindrical, smooth-tipped speakers are USB bus-powered and have music-reactive color-changing LEDS in the top, making them “very nice to listen to your favorite music at night” apparently. They pump out 2 x…

Kinesis Freestyle is First Ergonomic Snap-In-Two Keyboard for Macs

Sure, ergonomic designs are sometimes more whacky rather than useful, but I reckon the Kinesis Freestyle Solo falls into the latter category. Apparently it’s the first Mac keyboard that allows you to fully separate it into halves. Why’d you want to do that? To adjust the keys into a wrist-friendly, RSI-reducing position, that’s why. There’re…
