I can only imagine how great crack cocaine must be. Seriously, it’s gotta be one hell of a drug. I know this much because the design team at BMW has obviously been smoking a shitload of it. Well, actually, it wasn’t BMW that designed the ZX-6 Concept, it was created by students at Turin-based IED design studio. Certainly not the geniuses that created Gina.

The students claim they drew inspiration from elements, music, and arts. I think they just smoked way too much crack cocaine. Look at this fucking thing. How am I going to drive it over a speed bump? Considering the fucking vehicle doesn’t even have wheels, I’m going to have to pass on the test drive. What a piece of shit. These students clearly ride the short bus to attend the prestigious Crack Cocaine University. Have any crack?

So you’re like Ryan and have a 50GB+ porn collection and you need to back it up, eh? You don’t own a file server and that’s not really up your alley, so that’s out. You’d burn it to a DVD except it’d take about a month before you finished. Simply deleting it isn’t an option. So what are you left to work with?

Buffalo’s latest Blu-ray drive is what. It comes in an internal and external version, supports burning single-layer BD-R discs at a stunning 8x. It can burn DL BD-R at 2x, DVDs at 16x and the standard 48x for CD-Rs. Don’t forget: it can play all the aforementioned formats as well. At ~$430 for the external version and ~$400 and about $375 for the internal drive. Essentially, the deal of the century if you own a Playstation 3.

Just when you thought that the presence of Back To The Future movie apparel couldn’t be any more abundant, in comes perhaps the coolest piece of gear in the entire film (next to the Delorean). Marty McFly’s very own hover board from the second and third installments of the trilogy has made an appearance on eBay. For a starting bid of just $30,000, you can be sure it’ll go for much more with all the fanboys bidding.

As it’s only a wooden movie prop, the board won’t actually hover, of course. After buying it for thirty grand, you’ll probably feel like an idiot.

When you invent a time machine in the year 2094 and travel back to the year 1990, the first thing you’ll want to do is attend the premiere of the Tim Burton classic, Edward Scissorhands. You’ll be able to catch a pre-Pirates Depp and Winona Ryder right as she was turning into a hottie. But more importantly, you’ll be able to wear these out in style.

Designed by Georgo Phillip Pecenikov, these cufflinks are articulated scissors that don’t just sit still and look pretty, they actually open and close. Silver cufflinks plated in rhodium that are shaped like a bent pair of scissors don’t come cheap though. $550 or your soul.

Yahoo announced that it’s shutting down its DRM servers as of September 30, 2008. Anyone whose turned over hard cash towards Yahoo Music will lose the ability to recover it or transfer it to a new PC. Further proving DRM’s worthlessness, Yahoo even had the nerve to tell its customers to burn CDs and re-rip the tracks they bought, before the chance is over. Haven’t we learned anything from old DRM techniques?

Shame on you, Yahoo. I purchase music that I rightfully own and you’re not going to make it available to me? There’s a word for that: theft. Isn’t DRM supposed to be beneficial? It’s like Communism, it sounds great on paper, then it’s executed poorly. DRM only makes things harder for legal users. Legal users are the most important users of all, and Yahoo just fucked them in the ass. What’s it going to take to have proper DRM that benefits the user? A CD that self-destructs after it is copied.

Livin in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Volkswagen owners are really passionate about their cars. My buddy Raymond owns a GTI and puts like $10,000 into it each year. That’s a lot of money, so why not go for something a little more affordable? For $120, you can score this 1626 piece VW Beetle LEGO kit.

Based on a 1960 ‘Charlotte’ model, the VW is 16″ long and features moving parts and doors that open and close. I think that for $120, it’s a steal. You and your pals will have fun getting drunk and building it. That is, until you lose that one piece.

Know what makes people go batshit? The Dark Knight. Get it? Get it? C’mon!

Shitty jokes aside, check out these custom-made Converse Chucks from SweatShop Clothing. Looks like the design team over there really had a hard-on for Heath (RIP) as they really went to town on this pair of kicks. All four suits in a deck of cards plus an image of the Joker’s face add to the look, including text that says “WHY SO SERIOUS?” That should be enough to send chills down your spine if you saw the movie.

It’s no mystery that Geek Squad, the subsidiary computer repair service of the Best Buy Company, is known for its incompetence and over-pricing in computer maintenance. After all, it’s Best Buy. Now, these computer services are sprouting up alongside many other major retailers.

A week after Dell announced its tech-support services with Wal-Mart, the retail chain Sam’s Club (which is owned by Wal-Mart) stated it will be adding a computer repair service to 20 of its stores. It’s called “Geeks on Call” and as the name implies, they make house calls. It’s not enough that Wal-Mart wants to produce cheap personal computers that are built to break, now they want to provide expensive services to repair them.

Instructables has posted a cool DIY project that provides more use out of that large projection screen cramping your den. The one they’ve built shows this suave painting simply by turning the screen around. Hey look everyone, it’s the great Steve McQueen of Bullitt doing his famous leaning stance and he’s right here in my living room!

Why settle for less when it comes to an impressive home theater system simply because you lack the space available to portray art and media simultaneously? Better yet, pick a theme (like Pirates of the Caribbean) and not only decorate the back side of your projection screen with the theme but also the walls, ceiling and floor. That way, no one will doubt you’re a fan.
