Disappoint Your Daughter With The Ridemaster Pro Simulator

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets

horse-simulator_yzi6i_48.jpg

If you’ve grown up with young women in your household, you’ve more than likely have heard one of them begging Santa or the super flying Rabbi for a horse or a pony. Santa will usually assure the child that he’ll do his best but when Christmas comes along, there is no horse under the tree. The little girl loses all faith in humanity from that point forward, eventually becoming a satanic lesbian. I’ve seen it happen many times.

The Ridemaster Pro Simulator is no thoroughbred and will surely still disappoint, but at least it doesn’t feature a pile of horse shit that comes out of a living, breathing horse. Users will sit on a synthetic horse model that gives real time feedback as they stare at the video courses which are built into the system.With enough practice on the simulator, they’ll one day be able to ride a real horse or at least a large dog.

Watch has Darth pleasantly craft his Death Star out of harmless snow, which will soon become in impenetrable ice star! The Santa Claus hat on Darth’s head is also a great touch of style for the man typically donned in all black. Pick one up for next season for $49.99. — Andrew Dobrow

You can tell by the devious smile on the little pictured brats face that he is just waiting to watch his sister undress or something equally disgusting. Screw you, kid. Get a life.

Get yourself a little preview a day early on what presents lie in store for you to shred open in giddy spurts of wrapping paper freedom. Well, that is assuming that this isn’t what your getting for Christmas. Then you’re kinda screwed. Your mommy spent $120 on this spy mobile. – Andrew Dobrow

Everybody has their own Apple predictions and this announcement will do nothing, but add to the speculation. It’s being reported that Apple is planning to order 500 million Samsung NAND flash drives by the end of the month. Now, what could they be doing with all of that damn flash?

Sources say that the acquired flash drives will be used in the iPhone and the iPod, which would confirm the appearance of a flash drive in the ever-popular media player. Specifically, the source sites iPods made between June 2007 (around the release of the iPhone) and December 2007 (just in time for a new iPod model release for Christmas?). One theory points at a 6th generation video iPod, another points towards an iPhone without the phone part. Perhaps a touch screen iPod? Whatever it will be, we are eagerly awaiting. — Andrew Dobrow
