Batman knows the best way to get through those drab institutional corridors – in his screaming Batpod, sparks flying and linoleum burning. This is just one of 33 new photos from July’s The Dark Knight that came out today, and others include some nice looks at Harvey Dent and the Joker, and a tiny spoiler…

Modular Ping Pong Table Allows For Crazy 12 Player Games

If you have ever watched a professional table tennis tournament (or Forrest Gump at least) you know that a two-person game can get completely insane. Now, imagine the mayhem that would ensue with up to 12 people battling it out at once. Thanks to designer Guenter Arndt and his modular table tennis system, this ridiculousness…

Space Sex-Odyssey Reminds You To Wrap It Up [NSFW]

This science fictional AIDS education poster encourages us all to explore the sexy corners of the final frontier, but to just be safe about it. Artist James Jean took an R-rated, yet totally fantastical, spin on the outer limits, and what we got was a crazy naked but beautiful piece of art, that encourages safe…

Similar to iRadio, uSirius lets people stream Sirius Satellite Radio to their iPhones over Wi-Fi or EDGE (and shortly, 3G).

Washing Windows 35,000 Meters Above the Earth

Earth has been declared a giant nature preserve, and humans have banished themselves to a massive steel ringworld that encircles the planet. Inside, the human race exists in a rigidly stratified society, with working class laborers in the lower levels of the ring and the ruling classes above. This is the premise of cool underground…

What It’s Like Working Under Bill Gates

Joel Spolsky has a very interesting account of what it was like working as a program manager for Microsoft in 1992. We don’t want to ruin the story, because it’s a really good one that you should check out for yourself, but the gist of it is that Bill Gates used to be extremely hands-on…

Nikon D700 Announcement Slated for Next Monday

A retailer has confirmed the existence of the Nikon D700, even though Nikon hasn’t announced it yet. The webpage for Digital Depot has posted “Nikon will be announcing the new Nikon D700 on Monday 30th June! Check back soon for details, images and specifications.” I wonder if they’ll be waiting a little longer than some…

RIM Denies BlackBerry Bold Delays, But It’s Still Hitting in August

While the Boy Genius Report claimed the BlackBerry Bold was delayed until August, RIM turned around and said, “We didn’t say anything about ‘July’ or ‘August.’ It will become available in August.” So in other words, expect the BlackBerry Bold this August-later than July but earlier than September.

Wouldn’t You Prefer a Nice Game of Martian Chess?

If you ever find yourself hanging out a coffee shop with J’onn J’onzz or John Carter, you should know how to play Martian Chess. It’s just similar enough to Earth Chess to drive you mad as you move your Queens, Drones and Pawns in an effort to claim the most points. I met the creator…

Baby Faced Superman Reveals The Death Of Justice League Movie

Superman (Brandon Routh) told us not to hold our breath waiting for that Justice League flick. “I think it seems as though that [Justice League] is not happening, it’s on the back burner right now so it’s just ‘Man of Steel’ now, I know, they’re busy writing a script and then I trust we’ll be…

Ten Reasons Why Vista Isn’t That Bad

Of all the ware Microsoft churns out from its sweatshop of “lightning bolt, lightning bolt” nerds, Windows is the one most inexorably tied to the public image of the company. As Bill Gates leaves the building, we look back on the last baby birthed-if not fully gestated-under his watch, the swan song operating system that…

China Takes Over Sequel to “The Host”

We’ve seen it all before: A giant monster attacks and countries come together as a result to defeat it. But here’s a different twist: Monster attacks, and countries come together to recreate it. Well, sort of. In fact, the sequel to last year’s awesome Korean giant monster movie The Host is actually being taken over…

If you’re heading out to the G-Fest in July, you’ve got a treat in store: the premiere of Godzilla Zero Hour, a high-quality fan film about Tokyo’s notorious mega-monster Godzilla fighting giant flaming, flying turtle Gamera.

iPhoneAtlas claims to have received an internal AT&T memo detailing what the iPhone 3G MMS app might look like. Even iPhoneAtlas doesn’t believe that these photos are 100% real, and lookin at the button layout and the UI design, we can pretty much say that these things better NOT be real. The memo doesn’t list…

What Geek Movie Remakes and Sequels are Too Horrifying for Even Hollywood to Create?

Hollywood is going a little bit crazy with the unnecessary sequels and remakes these days, more often than not taking a beloved show or movie from our younger years and holding it down while it drowns in a bathtub. Still, there are properties left unmolested, memories that have yet to be tarnished. Trust me: it’s…

Biggest Crater in the Solar System Found on Mars

For a small planet, Mars sure knows how to go big. It’s about half as large as Earth, but it’s got the hugest volcano in the solar system in the Arizona-sized Olympus Mons and the grandest of all canyons in the 7 kilometer-deep Vallis Marineris. Now it can add its coolest, most-braggable title: the Biggest…
