I’d hit it and then take it to a buffet in my Ford.

The real “American Beauty” looks more like this than Mena Suvari. Mena’s got a monster forehead anyway. You ever seen that thing? The size of a damn billboard.

The upcoming Playstation 3 title Heavy Rain is going to be a graphical powerhouse. It’ll not only put the PS3 back on the map, but it’s supposed to be a pretty decent game too, according to sites like IGN, Joystiq and the like. These new screenshots seem to back that notion up. With beautiful coloring and a dark, stormy atmosphere surrounding the entire game, Heavy Rain could easily give the Silent Hill series a run for its money. After the jump, two more beautiful shots.

I was searching on Google Images today and noticed a new feature that must have been rolled out recently. Before, you could filter by image size and content. Now there’s an option to filter images by color. That’s right. Let’s say you’re searching for an image of some jewelry but you only want to display blue items. A few clicks and voila. It works really well, too. I’m assuming Google created a way to analyze images on the fly and determine the basic colors that comprise the picture.

Give it a try and see what you can come up with. I searched for “awesome”, clicked green and this is what I wound up with.

Found on It’s Nice That, this shoe looks like boatloads of fun. Gives the classic slip-on Vans a new meaning, eh?

Technology helps prevent crime. That’s a no-brainer. London’s use of CCTV has turned the city into a near police state and GPS has led to more arrests for car theft. As of yesterday, New Yorkers will be able to send text messages, picture messages and video to 911 and 311. This will enable citizens to report crimes of all types, as well as provide evidence so the police ultimately have less work to do. By next year, images and video sent to 911 will be pushed to patrol cars and will be used as evidence in trial. All in all, the technology only took about 18 months to develop and cost $250,000.

While I find this to be a great improvement to public safety, it also makes me weary of my privacy. What if someone is drinking in public and they get snapped by an angry friend? Not good.

I saw this picture and just couldn’t resist.

Here’s a cool little image gallery we found showing a bunch of images which show geek culture at its, well, geekiest. There’s a ton more pics over at the site, but here are a few of our favorites. Some of the pictures have been seen before, but a lot of them are new to us. Check it out. You won’t regret it. More after the jump. (more…)

This little guy sticks to your toilet lid, waiting for an unsuspecting victim. When they open the lid, BAM! There he is, waiting to scare the piss out of them (quite literally). Take that, kids! You should have gone before we left the house! — Andrew Dobrow

Here is some hysterical and interesting gadget images we’ve come across along with some color commentary from our very own Andrew Dobrow.

Google Maps always turns up some interesting images. Whoever made this Space Invaders ode is our new personal hero, but has entirely too much time on their hands.

On second thought, this image might of been taken by an airplane, as a commenter on Wonderland suggest, because of its higher resolution. From a satellite image it’s more likely that the lovable space invaders look like a bunch of white blobs rather then the ghost of gaming past.
