Perfect Lego Mac Pro Is Two Computers in One

At first sight, this looked like a perfect working reproduction of a Mac Pro made of Lego, so I was ready to call it the best Lego computer in the history of best Lego computers. Then, when I learnt that it houses one full PC running Mac OS X and a Mac Mini, I felt…

First Images of Helio Ocean 2

Not so long ago, the FCC leaked the Helio Ocean 2. But those pictures were black and white technical drafts, not featuring nearly enough colors and blinky lights to captivate our stimuli-needing attention spans. But a new FCC filing includes real shots of the new Helio Ocean. And from what we can tell, it’s got…

Best Warning Sign Ever Doesn’t Mess With Idle ‘High Voltage’ Threats

High voltage electrics plus risk of sparky, smoky death plus humorous engineer equals excellent warning sign. I’d keep well away, after reading that. Though I do remember an old girlfriend’s dad once pinned a freakishly similar note (substituting the odd “I will” into the text) to his daughter’s bedroom door, and pointedly drew my attention…

DC Turns To The Dark Side In 2009

While the superheroes of DC Comics may be facing a Final Crisis right now, it doesn’t mean that everything will be peaceful for them afterwards, apparently. Coming in 2009 is a month of special issues focusing on the bad guys of the DC Universe called Faces of Evil. They don’t call it a “never-ending battle”…

What If Moonlighting Took Place In A Warehouse Full Of Aliens?

The Sci Fi Channel has combined a few of my favorite things together to create their new series Warehouse 13. Supposedly a mix of X-Files, Moonlighting and Raiders of the Lost Ark, Warehouse is a show that revolves around two FBI agents assigned to a mysterious (you guessed it) warehouse, where they are in charge…

F-117 Stealth Fighter + Caterpillar Crusher = Pile of Sadness

The last F-117 stealth fighter was retired a few months ago. Most of the fleet is now stationed in a special retirement village all its own at the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada, where they await their fate. This fate. Hopefully, for humanitarian reasons, the first Nighthawk to the slaughter seen here was done privately,…

Science Fiction Publishers Will Not Touch UFO Books

Robert Sawyer, the much-awarded scifi author of novels like Rollback and Hominids writes on his blog that, for some reason, scifi publishers are not interested in UFO stories. He says that he advised a friend writing about UFOs that he’d “probably have better luck with a mainstream publisher than a scifi one” because “rightly or…

Bad news, dudes and ladies who hope to someday be impregnated by said dudes! According to some researches from the Cleveland Clinic, cellphones wreck your sperms up, making them too stupid to knock ladies up.

Majority of US E-Waste Gets ‘Recycled’ in Asia, Where Recycling Is Often Non-Existent

A new report by the US Government Accountability Office is claiming that the majority of US E-Waste recycling services should reconsider dumping our 20 million plus pounds of waste on Asia, where it’s cheaper but also less effective.
