AT&T Debuts Slender 3G Samsung a717 and a727

Slim and slick, the SGH-a717 is a flip phone with a 2 megapixel camera that costs $150 (with two-year contract and $50 mail-in rebate).

Motorola Q9h Packs Better Camera, Sound Than Most WM6 Phones

The verdict is still out on Motorola’s upcoming Q9h, but the Boy Genius himself seems to be giving the new handheld a thumbs-up, praising the phone’s keyboard, speakers and camera features.

There’s a new option for the poser who wants to have the best-looking skateboard on the block, especially if they’re the type who will never ride it: Three-dimensional laser etching.

50 Politicians Who’ve Gotten Money from the RIAA

You know we hate the RIAA around here, for good reason. While the DRM thing seems to be getting better, we still hate their lawsuits and their shiftless nature.

Seven Streams of Water Won’t Get You Any Cleaner Than One

How many streams of water does it really take for you to get clean? For me, generally speaking, it’s just one, but it seems that for some people they just need more. I guess that’s the thinking behind the Kohler WaterHaven, a $3,300 shower with seven water outlets. In order to scrub the putrid stench…

Fire-Safe Cigarettes to Keep Idiots Alive a Bit Longer

How many stupid people have started fires by falling asleep while smoking a cigarette? One might see this as Darwinism in action, but apparently the bleeding hearts over in Europe think differently. They’ve developed “fire-safe” cigarettes that put themselves out after a minute or two when not being smoked. Whatever, if cigarette smokers were so…
