UNBELIEVABLE. I cannot believe this is for real, and it’s SOLD in stores. How in the hell is this thing legal? We’re a bit confused, because the Spyder III Pro Arctic Series laser pointer is marketed as a “home theater projector” and yet the lightsaber-shaped implement will also set your skin on fire. The manufacturer [...]

June 10, 2010

All of New York’s state workers are breaking out the fiddles. They’re rearranging the deck chairs. Passing out the lifeboats. (Except the only calls to board them are “state workers and politicians first! State workers and politicians first!”) I saw this latest OHMYGOSHNEWYORKISGOINGTODIEEEEEE headline. Had to laugh. If New York State tanks and goes to [...]

Skype has made a deal with LG Electronics and Panasonic to make televisions with video-capturing capabilities. A LOT like the telescreens in George Orwell’s book, 1984. Both television makers will embed the Skype technology [...]
