Filed under: Computers, Celebrities Despite the looming possibility that incoming president Barack Obama may have to give up e-mail, there is still strong expectation that an Obama administration will be sensitive to technology issues. One of those reasons is his continued appointment of people with deep connections to cyber culture.Obama's latest appointment is Tom Daschle as head of Health and Human Services (we thought that job would have gone to Dean). Daschle is a former ...

Pirates, they used to wear cool hats. Now? Not so much. But you can still check out their exploits on the International Maritime Bureau's "live piracy map" (based on Google Maps). You know, to see where the booty's being plundered. Just drill down by using the zoom slider, and click on a flag to see what kind of crime took place. All are labeled with the type of ship, as well as whether the pirates ...

Nuestro querido, satánico y tierno abuelito Ozzy Osbourne parece estar de moda en el mundo de la publicidad. Después de vender algunos celulares, ahora Ozzy nos quiere hacer comprar la nueva versión de World of Warcraft. Que bueno que hay rockeros con sentido del humor, yo creo que Ozzy ya no se quemará en el infierno. También hay un comercial de WoW (bastante más corto y menos divertido) del Soprano Silvio Dante.

Hell no this doesn't have anything to do with gadgets or gizmos, but it is awesome. In a "boy, I'm really glad I'm not that guy" kind of way. Long story short: a man pleasuring himself with a jar of pasta sauce led cops on a low speed chase in Australia. Long story long: A man caught near Nobbys (!!) Beach with his penis in a pasta sauce jar led police on a 20 km/h ...

The Tomahawk Skull Gauntlet costs $40 and surprisingly doesn't have any customer reviews yet. Although I just wrote one. Unfortunately, it looks like it might be moderated first. Booo. UPDATE: Review is now up on the product page. With this gauntlet strapped to your arm there is no question you are the man in charge! The three piercing spikes stretch 11 1/2" long and are constructed from solid stainless steel. The palm cover is cast ...

Tonight on Unlikely Juxtaposition Theatre.. Silvio from HBO's The Sopranos endorses World Of Warcraft: Wrath Of The Lich King. Two great tastes that taste.. a bit odd together. Like Ziti Al Forno and Ogre Mead. Silvio Dante (Steven Van Zandt) may be used to pimping of the more traditional nature but he has been able to adapt his skillset to help Blizzard get the message out about Lich King. "Just when I thought I was ...

It's looking like Governor Blogjevich's plans to implement a tiered toll payment system to encourage carpooling will take a step closer to reality tomorrow. The plan is scheduled to go before the Illinois Tollway Board tomorrow and all signs point to an approval. The proposed system, which could go in place in 2010, would be similar to Minnesota's system that has a standard toll of 50 cents, but charges higher tolls for use of high-occupancy ...

Filed under: Mac, PC, Online, RPGs, MMO Blizzard announced today that World of Warcraft's second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, sold a paltry 2.8 million units in its first 24 hours. That's only 400,000 more units than Burning Crusade did on its launch day. We're guessing Activision is completely regretting that whole merger now, huh?With 11 million players currently in Azeroth, that means about 25% of the base couldn't live without their precious expansion ...

After selling 2.8 million copies in 24 hours, World of Warcraft's second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, has set the record as the fastest-selling PC game of all time, according to Blizzard. The irony is that the previous record holder was also Blizzard with their ...

Hirohiko Yoshida, chairman of Japanese perverted-game maker Age Soft, went and pimped out his Lamborghini and Lancia Stratos with several of the hentai girls from the games that made him rich. Itashi is a growing fad in Japan, and consists of slathering one's car in manga characters. It's not the look I'd go for, but I also don't even own a Lamborghini, so who knows? *God does, but he's stopped taking my calls. Jesus and ...
