Handheld Fluke Thermal Imager Puts Predator Vision in Your Pocket

A few months ago, I had a mouse problem in my apartment (just one and we caught it, but that’s a problem to me) and I was on edge for weeks, always expecting another one of the cat-eating, fanged and diseased rodents to scurry out from behind my kitchen sink (determined, after going over the…

Internet Party 2: The MySpace Intervention

The original Internet Party was a pretty funny video, but I’d say that the sequel is even tighter in its execution. Watch your favorite websites—almost scarily apt in their personification—tell MySpace that it’s time to stop. The actress playing IMDB is especially brilliant. UPDATE: Autoplaying video tossed after the jump. Sorry about that. Click to…

Soldiers in Iraq Get ‘Paintball Guns on Steroids’

Apparently, the new weapon against insurgents in Iraq is a paintball gun. Mind you, it’s a paintball gun that uses paintballs full of a mixture of paint and the brittle metal bismuth, and it’s a paintball gun that fires at 900 PSI compared to the standard 300-500 PSI, but it’s a paintball gun all the…

A new DLP projector by Projectiondesign promises not only a 1080p image at 60Hz, but one that you can watch in 3D. But it’s no simple feat.

Hollywood Attacking Film Grain For Blu-ray

For me, the first “ooooh” moment when I got my first HDTV was watching SportsCenter…and I don’t even watch sports. Never before had I seen such a crisp, vibrant image in my life. It didn’t look real. It looked more than real. My second “ooooh” moment was exactly the opposite. I was watching a movie…

This is a shot of the interior of AT&T’s Death Star, their stunning global network center in Bedminster, New Jersey—where they work to suppress good wireless reception and run their Random Billing Generator.

Sony To Make Bigger OLED TVs Soon

That Sony OLED television isn’t bad—it’s just a little too tiny for the family to gather around comfortably. Luckily Sony has announced that they will indeed be investing more money (read: $210 million) into their OLED manufacturing to produce “even larger” sized panels for release sometime between April 2009 and March 2010.

Looking at these images, if Star Wars was real, we would probably be in a lot of trouble.
