Jakob Lodwick, founder of Vimeo and online entrepreneur, has thrown a lot of money at DIYers Bre Pettis and Zack Hoeken. So much, in fact, that they decided to start a robot company called MakerBot Industries. The company’s first product is the Cupcake CNC machine kit. As it implies, it’s a kit that lets you build your very own CNC machine, thus letting you print out 3-D objects in the comfort of your own home.

The kit runs $750, which is a steal compared to other CNC machines, many of which don’t come in kit form. Print cups. Print LEGOs. Print bananas. Just don’t try to eat them, OK?

Leave it to the Boy Genius to get yet another exclusive mobile phone leak. This time around, it’s the T-Mobile G2! Except that, it’s not called the G2. In Europe, it’ll be known as the HTC Dream and Vodafone will be offering it to customers sometime this year.

What’s the Dream going to pack? For now, BGR speculates mostly standard stuff: 3.2-megapixel camera, WiFi, HSPA (for high speed 3G connectivity) and some other bullshit like the “Cupcake” version of the Android OS. Finally, there’s also speculation that the name could be changed to “Pioneer” from Dream. Kind of stupid sounding, don’t you think?

There’s not a lot known about this delicious looking chocolate cupcake other than three things:

1. It was designed by Judith Leiber.
2. It is jewel-encrusted and full of diamonds.
3. It costs $4295.

Now I believe it acts as an evening bag, so again, I’m assuming most women are throwing things like lipstick, tampons, money and a whole lot of bullshit into this thing. For $5000, why not just get something a little less tacky? I’d certainly take a cupcake from Magnolia of Judith’s any day of the week…

A crafty cook / Flickr user has been keeping her hands full with these retro-gaming cupcakes. Something tells us that the original gamers who played these games, who are now suffering from diabetes because they played games constantly instead of working on their health, are saddened by these delectable treats.

Featured are Pac-Man and Super Mario cupcakes for you to drool over. Screw saving the princess. We want cupcakes! Now! (more…)
