Apple Can’t Stand the Sight of Boobs or Booty

Wobble is one of those 99-cent iPhone apps: You shake your iPhone, and boobs or any other salacious body part will jiggle. Totally approved for the App Store. But Apple doesn’t like boobs. Or booty. https://gizmodo.com/iphone-app-store-hits-500-million-downloads-we-break-d-5133070 So, Apple has asked Wobble’s developer to remove all references to “boobs” and “booty” in its marketing, and forced…

Charter Soon to Offer 60Mbps Cable (Not bad… for America)

Dave at US News tells us Charter Communications is the new home broadband to beat, offering 60Mbps downloads using Docsis 3.0 via coax cable. Is that the reigning champ? Currently, Comcast delivers 50Mbps using the same technology, at $150 a month. Verizon is clocking in at 50Mbps as well, over FiOS fiber, and may up…

USB Construction Site Cordons Off Your Desktop Disasters

Japan’s cute USB miniaturizations never fail to amaze us, as this small USB construction zone serves to prove once again. It’s about $20 from Japan, and comes with one Construction worker, one yellow sign or one white sign, combined with three traffic ones. We would set this up around our mouse and keyboard every night…

Post Office Might Deliver Mail (and Gadgets and Netflix) One Less Day a Week

Huge deficits at the USPS might mean one fewer day of mail delivery a week, says the postmaster general. In other words, another day a week you wouldn’t receive gadgets or Netflix. The postmaster general is asking Congress to remove the requirement for the post office to deliver mail six days a week, since the…

Why Microsoft Should Give Windows 7 Away

Windows 7 is shaping up to be an awesome OS. It’s everything people wanted Vista to be and more. Which is exactly why Microsoft should give it away—or offer it dirt cheap—to Vista users. Windows 7 is the solution to Microsoft’s Vista problem, which is really a nasty hydra of a problem. Let’s not pretend…

Who’s Scolding The Watchmen?

Looks like the cast has a case of the Wolverine-photo-shoot-itus. What’s with all the pouting — are they mad about the ending too? Check out the final Watchmen poster. https://gizmodo.com/caption-this-promo-pic-from-reshoot-happy-wolverine-5134169 I feel blue just looking at this poster. And yes, the retelling of Alan Moore graphic novel isn’t exactly a knee-slapper, but I can’t help…

In this week’s Fringe, called “The No-Brainer,” Olivia and the scoobies got to investigate their most cyber opponent yet: A pop-up window that turns people’s brains to goo! Spoilers ahead, weirdos.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates In a Dating Game Is a Magical Memory

This 1983 Apple Event where Steve Jobs invites three software CEOs, including Bill Gates, into a dating game is the type of thing we want to see at the next Apple event. It’s the last time they were on stage together until recently, back in 2007. The clip doesn’t show the entire game—thankfully omitting the…

SweatBot Saves You From Embarrassment By Taking the B.O. Bullet

It’s a good thing that robots have not yet mastered the ability to complain, because SAM (the Sweating Agile Mannequin) here has the worst robo-job ever. The video will explain the whole deal, but in a nutshell SAM perspires from his 125 sweat nozzles to stress test sub-zero athletic clothing. Naturally, in that environment it…

Lara Croft Tomb Raider 3 In The Works But With No Lead

Even though io9 reported that Megan Fox would NOT be strapping guns to her thighs as the next Lara Croft, that’s not stopping Warner Brothers from teaming up with Dan Lin, Executive Producer of Terminator: Salvation, for a third Croft film. I’m not 100% sold on this idea — the franchise started to lose steam…

When Voltron Arrives, He Will Be Sponsored

Fact: One day we’ll have mechanical super squadrons that can assemble into giant, even more super mechs motivated by the sole goal of either destroying or preserving humanity. But of course they’ll all require sponsorships. I mean, think about it. We can’t get a fairly unimpressive race car around a freaking oval without sticking 20…
