Only The Hot-Pink Cops Can Save Us From The Space Lizards!

Everything about this image, “Rain,” says futuristic noir — except the woman’s insane police outfit. Unbuttoned police shirt over pink bra, pink and white skinny pants, gun belt and badge. It’s really all you need to keep the order and hold off the drooling space lizards in the rainy cityscape. Artist Lorenzo Sperlonga is not…

Bicycle Seat Generator Harnesses the Power of Your Butt

You may not like it now, but you would be thankful for that big butt of yours if you ever got a chance to ride a bike fitted with designer Deco Goodman’s “Commuter Cyclist’s Sustainable Energy Source.” The device attaches underneath the seat and collects power generated by the compression of the seat springs, braking,…

Ron Livingston Will Be The McDreamy Of The Space Station

Burger is getting blasted into space, thanks to executive producers James Parriott (Grey’s Anatomy) and Michael Edelstein (Desperate Housewives). Ron Livingston’s new starring role in the space drama titled Defying Gravity was wrapped up in one terrifying sentence from Parriott: “Throw in a little bit of Grey’s and Lost, and you have a pretty good…

Question of the Day: Do You Prefer a Paper Ballot or a Voting Machine?

When I went to vote this afternoon, I was kind of disappointed to find that my location was using paper ballots. Not that I have anything against that really—other than the waste of paper it is actually pretty hard to screw up as a voter (although, once my ballot was scanned I suppose anything can…

Niiice: Borat’s Homeland Gets A Space Pyramid

Perhaps in an attempt to shake off the backward, cousin-marrying, antisemitic image it got from Sacha Baron Cohen’s film Borat, Kazakhstan has hired British architects Foster and Partners to build a futuristic Pyramid Of Peace And Reconciliation. Built in just two years at a cost of 35 million pounds, the building is meant to house…

Astronauts Cast Votes From Space, But It’s Only One Regular Vote For Mankind

Astronauts Michael Fincke and Gregory Chamitoff did what only four other Astronauts have done in NASA’s 50 years when they voted today—from space. Thanks to a Texas bill passed in 1997, NASA space cases are able to legally vote while they’re out of the planet on business. But how did they cast their ballot from…

Ahead Of Their Movie, The Avengers Have Already Defeated The Hulk

While rumors about the role of the Hulk in the Avengers movie are still suggesting that the rest of Marvel’s movie heroes will be spending their team-up screen time fighting the jade giant, there’s one place where Earth’s Mightiest Heroes have already put a stop to the Hulk’s rampaging: The television screens of the future.Website…

Nanobama: Barack Obama in Nanotubes

A technique known as nanolithography was used to build these Obama faces, combining 150 million carbon nanotubes to construct each individual half-millimeter visage. Depending on your political leanings, the result is either the cutest wittle powitician ever or proof that science, in the wrong hands, will engineer miniature robotic Democrats who distract with a message…

Sucks When Sorority Girls Move Into Monster Town

You’ve got this sweet pad under the cemetary, full of all your monstery friends, and then some human chick with makeup and haircare products tries to move in. Totally sucks. In this great torture-the-sorority-chick scene from Clive Barker’s hellaciously awesome movie Nightbreed, a nice girl from the human world searches for her missing boyfriend in…

DSi Camera, Designed for Adolescent Boobie Humor

We didn’t quite get the DSi’s bundled Camera editing software—exactly what’s the point of stretching a body part with lame animations—and then we watched this semi NSFW clip. I’m not saying that we “get it” now, but we’re certainly a few steps closer to penetrating the unique design minds of Nintendo engineers. For those who…

FCC officials approved a plan for white space wireless broadband in a vote today. For those unfamiliar, white space broadband would take the unused parts of the television broadcast spectrum and make it available for internet data transfer.

Dealzmodo: BlackBerry Bold Free at Walmart With Rebates

This bizarro-land Walmart, home to great deals on legit, geekworthy gadgets, continues undercutting more upstanding merchants. The BlackBerry Bold—$199-$299 everywhere else—is free at Walmart with the correct voodoo combination of plans and rebates. They’re billing it as the “BlackBerry Bold unlimited” so you have to pick up at least a 1350 minute talk plan (single…

THIS Is How You Do A Science Fiction Show About Religion

One of my big worries for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been the tendency to dip too far into religious allegory. But last night’s episode, “Brothers of Nablus?” Totally converted me. I’m now a zealot for the Bible stories in the Terminator universe, thanks to Cameron’s Old-Testament bloodthirstiness and the show’s little twist about…

Hidden ‘Aero Shake’ Feature Cleans Up the Clutter in Windows 7

Surprisingly, a really cool feature of Windows 7 called ‘Aero Shake’ has gone virtually unnoticed amidst all of the hype. It is not groundbreaking or anything, but having the ability to minimize all background windows with a simple shake of the mouse seems like a smart, useful idea to me. Check out the video and…

The Movie That Killed George W. Bush

This Election Day marks the symbolic end of the Bush administration, and some thought it would never come. That’s why two years ago, a team of filmmakers decided to end Bush’s term prematurely with Death of a President. The film has courted controversy for its depiction of Bush’s assassination, but what’s important is what comes…

Why You Should Buy a Refurbished Laptop

Yes, there is a stigma associated with buying refurbished laptops. I understand it to a degree—I mean, there is nothing like liberating a fresh, shiny gadget from its plastic packaging prison. What I don’t understand is how this stigma exists in a society where buying a used car is so widely accepted. As many others…
