Don’t you hate it when your doctor is one of those guys that just feels the need to be in every picture? I’ll hand it to him, he has a pretty impressive skull, but I refuse to condone such behavior, and it’s not just because I’m extremely jealous of this man’s normal-shaped head. Link email Read More »

UPDATE: The newest Facebook app update released (3.2.1), the second update in less than 12 hours, seems to remove this problem. Most people who were not seeing a check in button will now see a “this feature will be available in your region soon” message with the newest bug fix update. At least, that’s the case for me. I thought ... Read More »

We’ve covered a few of the awesome and odd Celebration V collectibles in the past few days, but the surplus of eccentricities seems endless. First, George Lucas announced Star Wars on Blu-Ray and unveiled a deleted scene. Then we caught whiff of a Jon Stewart Stormtrooper action figure. But that was just the tip of the asteroid. Included in the ... Read More »

I wouldn’t even bother to besmirch the sanctity of the 43″ Ostendotech CRVD display and its 0.02 millisecond response time and 2880×900 resolution with the mediocrity that is my computer. A display like this deserves nothing less than a custom-built gaming behemoth. Most Alienware gamer rigs are too modest for this bad boy. With its awesome curved form factor you’re ... Read More »

I have to admit I was sort of worried when I discovered my teenage brother had been collecting butterfly-shaped rubber band bracelets. I had no idea that these Silly Bandz were actually a “thing.” Sort of like Tamagotchi and pogs were a “thing.” I have no idea what the fascination with animal shapes is. I guess it ‘s because animals ... Read More »

We’ve seen attempts at adding a tactile QWERTY keyboard to replace the touchscreen of the iPhone before. iTwinge seemed like a viable option if you didn’t mind a hell of an eyesore, but it was actually pretty impractical. Half the touch screen was covered by a massive sheaf of buttons which were visibly awkward to slip on and off when ... Read More »

Humans, all animals really, run on an internal clock known as a circadian rhythm. Well, maybe I should say that humans SHOULD run on a circadian rhythm. A proper schedule becomes harder and harder to maintain as we work more, sleep less or just sleep at the wrong times. Since our circadian rhythm is governed mostly by the Sun, the ... Read More »

At least it didn’t feel any pain. FreeTaxUSA used the death of an innocent iPad to advertise their services. While death has been used for self-promotion before (hell, look at most political ads), never have I seen such a blatant use of gore and bloodshed used so lightly. FreeTax shot an unsuspecting iPad with a shotgun slug for their own ... Read More »

It’s not that I don’t love R2-D2 with all of my heart, it’s just that I don’t think I can condone my iPhone smoking. The R2-D2 iPhone Case wraps your Apple device in a shell inspired by our favorite resilient astromech droid. You can pre-order the exclusive case for $29.95 from the Star Wars Shop.

While I’m not sure if machines will ever be a completely trusted way of dealing out drugs to prescription holders, Sainsbury’s supermarkets in the UK are testing out an automated express prescription machine. Prescription holders can avoid the long-line of the pharmacy to quickly scan their empty medicine bottle and slip it into an envelope which is placed inside the ... Read More »
