Tiger Blood Is Real, and It’s In Singapore

Charlie Sheen! Tiger blood! Bi-winning! So many catchphrases we’ve culled from a man’s terribly unfortunate public spiral into oblivion. But did you know that Tiger Blood is an actual thing? Not only that! It’s a brand of anabolic steroids sold out of Singapore. Which, hey, appropriate! But sorry, anyone who was hoping to camp out…

There are only about 3000 tigers left, mostly spread across a hundred thousand square kilometers of Indian forest.

Panasonic Toughbook Survives Tiger Attacks, Elephant Stomps, and Gunshots

Most of us have no need for Panasonic’s Toughbook-30: Its specs are unremarkable and the 13.3-inch laptop weighs over 8 pounds. But then, our mortal laptops could never survive the ridiculous, almost cartoony beating Forbes gave it. Forbes’s intrepid testers used the Toughbook to crush soda cans, used the screen as a dartboard, ran over…

iDog MP3 Speaker Toy Goes Soft And Cuddly, At Last

It’s been a while since we mentioned the iDog from Tiger/Hasbro, because it was basically a dog that’d had its day: Until now that is, when Tiger have removed one of the toy’s problems by adding cuddliness. It still has a speaker and does the same LED-flashing face and wiggling in reaction to your music,…

CompUSA: It Lives!

After it died, CompUSA was bought by Tigerdirect, and here are some of the first pictures of the freshly awakened PC retailer.

Guy Builds Nazi Tiger Tank, Invades Michigan

A Rommel-wannabe from Kettering University in Flint, Michigan, has built a fully working, 1:2 scale version of the Tiger I 56.9-tonne heavy tank used by the Wehrmacht in World War II. Not happy with that, he drives his amazing creation—Guderian-style—on the road, with a “yellow triangle” on the back. The thing is so menacing that…

Updates promise to fix a bit of crashiness that users have experienced with the latest-gen Intel iMacs, one each for Tiger and Leopard. [TUAW]

Earlier today the online Apple store had listed a ship date for Mac OS 10.4 Tiger as October 26th, which coincidentally is the rumored release date for 10.5 Leopard. Could this be more evidence for Leopard’s release date or simply a mistake on Apple’s part…

Tiger Paw Screen Cleaner Cellphone Strap

Rather than have a cellphone strap that looks cute and does nothing, this Tiger Paw cellphone strap actually lets you clean your screen—albeit a small cellphone screen. Just put the tiger (or sheep) paw on your finger and start wiping away. The strap clings conveniently to your phone, and also comes with a tail for…
