Bleak wine corks just don’t do it for me anymore. I need a wine stopper with some flavor, some spice. Something that bares it all without sacrificing the work that a wine stopper provides. Something like this pole dancing stripper wine stopper.

She does bare it all and she’ll never fuss about working early mornings or late nights. All she’s looking for are a few dollar bills to be shoved into her panties. Her going rate is $9 dollars, which is quite possibly the cheapest call girl - ever.

When driving in New Jersey, you’ll notice one thing: no driver follows the cellphone law. I try to, but I usually find fiddling with a headset and a phone much more distracting than operating just the phone itself. New Jersey is not the garden state, it’s the motor state. It has more drivers than any other state and many of them are just plain bad at commuting. The headset law only makes it worse.

It’s retarded laws like this that make a Bluetooth steering wheel a must have. It works just like a Bluetooth headset, it’s compatible with Bluetooth phones and allows you to receive or reject calls, redial the last number and use speed dial right from your steering wheel. Seriously though, you’re still going to have to keep your eyes on the road. Quick glances, people; that’s the trick.

Although this isn’t the only phone that gives us wood, it does make us pop a hard one. After all, when it comes to using Skype or any other VOIP service, it’s tough to look cool talking into your monitor. But, with the Hulger Pappa*Phone, you can’t not look cool. It’d be impossible. In fact, you could call anyone on this phone and still come off as cool in front of anyone whose watching you shout into a wooden phone regarding Star Trek facts.

The phone is handcrafted from a single piece of American Walnut with polished brass in between that certainly would go well with that wooden scale you have.  For $300, it’s yours, but that price doesn’t include your up and coming Skype phone bill.

At long last, Apple has finally equipped some of its developers with the tools needed to begin authoring iPhone background applications. This will eventually remedy problems with the iPhone regarding running applications in the background. The same thing could happen to a drug dealer trying to convert ounces to grams. He/She suddenly gets a phone call then, BAM, all that hard work leaves business dry and sales at a stand still. Apple is fixing this by adding the “Push Notification Service” they mentioned at the WWDC.

AppleInsider writes:

Instead of allowing potentially dozens of third party services to simultaneously access an iPhone directly, the push service would funnel all transmissions from developers’ servers through a central Apple server, which would then relay the data to iPhones through a single persistent and well-managed background connection.

This is the best news on the iPhone we’ve heard all week. Wait a minute, this is the only news on the iPhone we’ve wrote all week. That’s not like us at all. It’s because Vince got that new Sierra Nevada Sidekick, which pretty much renders any other phone pale in comparison.

This kid has managed to render OnStar obsolete and he’s all the way on the other side of the world doing it! The self taught gadget wiz, Morris Mbetsa, has managed to create an anti-theft device and tracking system for vehicles that’s cellphone-based. The owner can take control of their vehicle’s ignition and disable it with his/her cellphone at any time. Locking the car remotely as well as the ability to listen in on any conversations taking place within the vehicle all via your cellular phone are two other features Mbetsa has added to his invention.

Sometimes stickers that make your car look beat up or fake head units just won’t do the trick to prevent would-be thieves. We like what this young man has done and we look forward to seeing more of his amazing hacks.

Trying to call your female escort to let her know you’ll be late? Use one of these payphones hooked up to the Internet via a PBX system. Probably running Asterisk I’m guessing. Check out photos of the setup after the jump.

I Call Me plans to help a problem that plagues millions, perhaps billions of people each year. The panicked craze of losing ones keys. I Call Me is a special keychain which you attach to your set of keys, which can be called by your phone, at which point the device will start beeping, and chirping (and perhaps blinking).

If this device ever makes it past the conceptual stage I’m going to buy a pair for everyone I know. They won’t soon forget this great gift. — Andrew Dobrow
