Looking for a bit of confidence when you go out into the world? Dressing up like Mega Man will either instill you with that confidence or make you look like a child. Either way, pretty sweet hoodie! [DeviantArt via FashionablyGeek]
You’ve never played tennis like this before. Get a glimpse of the new Mario Tennis Open for Nintendo 3DS in this teaser trailer and see how it’s taking tennis to a whole new level. And while the video is in 2D, you’ll get to experience all the 3D action of Mario Tennis Open on the…
Chatroulette by itself is fine if you’re a pianist or a guy who pushes birds into snakes’ mouths, but what if you’re just a dude with an iPad. Turns out that’s MUCH better. Join us as we take you on an incredibly NSFW adventure, filled with iPads, boobs, penises and laughter. Remember, NSFW. NSFW!
Bizarrely timed and impressively unleaked, iPhone OS 4.0 is coming—at least as an announcement—this Thursday. So what’s it going to change, really? Here’s what we think. And because it’s about eight times as fun, what we hope. Predictions These are the changes that seem most likely, or that’ve been rumored previously. Since we don’t know…
The Zune 4.5 update we saw last week looked pretty good! More codec support, Smart DJ music discovery (similar to the iTunes Genius feature that’s pretty stellar with a Zune Pass), and a few other fun features. It’s available even sooner than we thought, so all you Zune owners go ahead and open up your…
HP’s rolled out another promotional video for their Slate, again—not surprisingly—highlighting its advantages over the iPad. Like a camera! A built-in USB port and SD slot! And… iTunes. Well, we’ll call that last one a wash. The previous HP promo video hit hard on its Flash capability, and this one does an equally nice job…
This montage of silly urinals brings into question one of my most diligently enforced personal rules: Never pee on anything that has teeth.
Apple’s just sent an invite “for a sneak peek of the next generation of iPhone OS software” on April 8 at 10AM Pacific. That’s in three days! We’ll be there. Start your predictions now.
Microsoft’s sent out invites for an event on April 12th, plastered with the phrase “It’s time to share.” It’s double entendre about their leaked “Pink” social networking-centric phones, see!?! A few weeks ago, tipsters leaked us photos and marketing materials for Microsoft’s “Pink” feature phones, littered with the motto, “Make Your Network More Social.” The…
Interesting comment, Nintendo. Aside from its questionable validity, last we heard, most third party games weren’t doing so hot on your own platforms. [Kotaku]
What happens when you put an iPad in a blender? For all those who’ve been griping for the past few weeks: catharsis. Catharsis, and dust. [Will It Blend?]
Researchers in Australia have developed a “wide-view neurosimulator,” to help give sight back to the blind. By implanting electrodes in the eye, they’ll allow those with degenerative vision loss to see a pixelated version of the world around us. While the end result is similar to the BrainPort technology that lets the blind “see” through…
We start off our journey just being philanthropical and showing off the iPad to people who haven’t seen it. No time to go to the Apple store? By all means, take a look. Things devolved quickly. And then…(super NSFW) …this happened. We decided we needed a bit of Adam Frucci to lighten the mood. To…
Besides using the iPad in bed and on the couch, you know the reason you bought this thing was for toilet entertainment. Verdict: It’s decent but distracting—and sometimes dangerous. Setup Here’s half the problem. In order to get your pants down for a #2 session (or zipper down for #1, if you’re a dude), you…
I’d normally be on the fence about the utility of an Android-based television set like Scandinavia (above), but if it’s made by a company called People of Lava it has to be pretty awesome, right? Or at least ridiculous? Fortunately, Scandinavia looks like a little bit of both. Their first Android 1.5-run effort will be…
This is a massive number. But in the context of other massive numbers—namely Apple’s previous product launches—it isn’t stunning. First, the raw numbers. 300,000 iPads were sold, leading to 1,000,000 app downloads, and 250,000 ebook downloads from the iBook Store. Steve Jobs puts it another way: iPad users, on average, downloaded more than three apps…
We figured there was no better way to celebrate the iPad’s launch than to actually, you know, celebrate it, so that’s exactly what we did, with a party at the Merc Bar in Soho on Saturday night. Of course, partygoers were encouraged to bring their iPads, and, as you can see, they really ended up…
The Sensation Urban lounger, by designer Alexander Christoff, looks ridiculously relaxing. That is, until you realize that looking at a 4-inch display from 6-feet away is basically the antithesis of comfort. [Behance via BornRich via UberGizmo]
Sure, he seems a bit confused about how to fit it into his utility belt, but it looks like even Batman has an iPad. Guess he felt the need to buy one after seeing these other costumed folks holding theirs: Apparently the team at Tested decided to take an iPad to Wondercon 2010 and place…
