Quick News: HP, Canada and More

In a very unsurprising move, Yahoo! finally announced that they will kill off Yahoo! Photos. Instead they are asking their users to move on over to their other photo service Flickr. While most of the planet is moving to electronic currency, Canada is kicking it old school. They introduced a coin that is worth US…

Wii Zelda Shield and Sword Accessory

Although we finished the Zelda Twilight Princess game for the Wii back in November, we’re kind of regretting the fact that we didn’t wait until this Zelda Sword & Shield accessory was out before playing. http://kotaku.com/gaming/wii/i-beat-zelda-twilight-princess-+-thoughts-from-the-other-side-216556.php By slipping the Wiimote into the sword and Nunchuck into the shield, the realism level would have been so…

Well, now you can buy a pre-mad Battlebot “Road Rage”, who fought in two actual seasons of the show and won three matches. Best of all—as if owning a Battlebot wasn’t cool enough—it’s only going…

One Day Every Gadget Will Be A Unique Snowflake

RCA began selling the Gem line of MP3 players, including the Opal. Creative introduced its Zen Stone. And today Acer brings us the Gemstone. Earthly naming conventions are nothing new, from the PEBL to the i-Stones, gadget makers have long tried to portray their wares as organic, natural forms instead of the mercury laden, toxic…

NYTimes’ Pogue Tests High Def Hard Drive Camcorders

Pogue’s back from vacation, and this week, he’s taking a look at high def hard drive camcorders (or, HDHD camcorders), marveling at the gadgets that giving your boring home videos the same picture pizazz as professional HD content. In his words, the picture is “sharp enough to slice a tomato.” And your goofy dad will…

Glitterati: $10,000 Clothing With Palladium and Silver Nanoparticles Destroys Viruses, Germs and Smog

These two pieces of clothing have magical properties thanks to nanotechnology: apparently they can help prevent the flu, protect against smog, shield against pollution and attract beautiful women, who will feel an irresistible desire to hug anyone who wears them. Never mind that this last extraordinary feature will be clearly balanced by the fact that…

Leopard’s Multiple Dashboard Features

Although this new patent by Apple may not make it into Leopard, it probably means we’re going to get some new Dashboard features sometime in the near future. If you can remember back to last year’s WWDC, where the multi-desktop “Spaces” feature was demoed, you won’t be that surprised when you see where Apple’s going…

Spanish Tower Draws Solar Energy from 600 Mirrors

It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. Six hundred mirrors reflecting sunlight onto a massive 40-story tall tower out in the Andalusian countryside. Yet as eerie as it looks, this is Europe’s first commercial solar power plant being operated by a company called Solucar. The structure generates 11 Megawatts of electricity—enough power for…

Intimate Game Controllers

Inspired by a “phenomenon called gamer widowhood where men essentially abandoned their wives to play videos games,” Jenny began work on this design project. It began with a game of Pong where the paddles are controlled by two sensors in a bra (to be groped, obviously). The intimate game controllers have since further developed—the woman’s…

Warm Sewage Keeps your Bottom Toasty on the Concrete Bench

Unlike the Turd Twister and Bathroom Louie, this fecal idea is pretty useful. A Quebec design student has created a concrete bench that heats by pumping water heated by warm sewage through the bench. In Montreal the sewer temperature stays at a toasty 60 degrees Fahrenheit most of the year. This bench uses pumps connected…

Tubular Time Word Clock is Half Past Cool

Here’s an unusual angle on timekeeping that tickles our techno-lust for clocks, and this one’s a twisty, affectionately known as the Tubular Time Word Clock. Its two cylindrical segments revolve around, giving you approximate times of day rather than sticking to that pesky precision to which we’ve grown so accustomed. This is a truly odd…

PlayStation 3 Violence Continues to Everyone’s Surprise

Who’d have thought that months after the release of the PlayStation 3, the book of PS3 Melee Watch would get another chapter added to it. A San Francisco man was stabbed to death Monday night when he tried to help two women who were getting their PlayStations stolen by the man they were selling it…

Video: 873 People Ditch a Downed Airbus in 77 Seconds

How long do you think it takes to clear out an Airbus A380 with 873 people on board in an emergency situation? 10 minutes? 5 minutes, perhaps? Try 77 seconds. That’s what the above video shows, an amazing feat of organized jumping and sliding that clears the entire plane out with amazing speed. Of course,…

LED Roses Never Wilt

My biggest problem with giving the females in my life roses is the fact that they are dead within a week (the roses, not the ladies). It could be a metaphor for the relationship, but this year I will one-up those silly girls and buy them some roses that can’t be killed. The LED roses…

iPodWeek – The Best of iLounge

This week at iLounge: Was this the slowest week for the iPod since 2003? Perhaps.

Thankfully, iLounge…

Funny Tivo Ads Feature Antenna as Phallus

The new “TiVo Gets Me” ads, part of their $15 million dollar campaign, are good. They’d be smug and impotent as any squeeky clean gadget ad, if it weren’t for the slip of college humor into each of these two clips. First, Mr. Baseball, a TiVo fan as visually distinguished by his antenna, compares his…
