More Hacked Chuck E. Cheese Robots

Here’s a video I found on Astorians.com that shows a hacked/modified Rock-afire Band from Chuck E. Cheese singing an Usher song. It’s hilarious and is on par with the other Rock-afire video we found. Link (via)

Sexy Robot Responds To Your Commands

Robotics design firm Wowwee is selling their new Femisapien robot online for $99. Femisapien has seductive curves, microphones, artificial intelligence, and “36 functions and 20 interactive routines” including dancing and blowing kisses. Like all good women, femisapien can learn your instructions and respond to your commands. Femisapien is only fifteen inches tall and, sadly, she’s not anatomically correct, but she’s clearly pioneering lots of important sex robot technology. She speaks in a “language… of gentle sounds and gestures and “responds... Continue reading

Awesome Bukkake iPhone Case

Graffiti design company Krink has followed up their paint drip Incase laptop sleeve with a similarly-designed case for the iPhone 3G. Incase sold Krink’s laptop sleeve online, but for now this phone case is just a one-of-a-kind prototype. This case is pretty cool, even though it does set you up to be the punchline of some very dirty jokes. Hypebeast is hoping that the kids over at Krink will have a “change of heart” and release these bad boys to... Continue reading

Fake Obama Spam Attack

Apparently, people may have actually listened to Vince and sent out fake Vice Presidential pick announcements in advance of Barack Obama‘s VP selection. Obama generated a lot of buzz for the decision by telling the press that he’d announce his choice via text messages and email blasts to his supporters. Joe Biden was named as the Vice presidential candidate this morning, but before the news actually broke there were tons of hoax emails. CNN reports there were scams claiming that... Continue reading

Tokidoki Style Laptop You Can’t Have

We don’t do many posts on Tokidoki, the Japanese-inspired lifestyle brand created in 2005 by Italian artist Simone Legno. But, for his latest creation, we’ll make an exception because we’ll never get to buy it. This limited edition Japanese exclusive Tokidoki styled laptop is made by Fujitsu.

Airport Network Hack Launches The Revolution

Whenever I arrive at an airport, I need to get online right away. It’s not enough they’re overcharging me for my ticket, now they want to charge me $7 for 24 hours of internet. My next flight is in three hours, what could I possibly need 24 hours of internet for. What a rip-off. Thanks to Felix Geisendörfer of debuggable.com, he’s shown the man that we know when we’re being fed shit by hacking into the Atlanta airport’s network. After... Continue reading
