Sorry to barge in on your holiday weekend — for God's sake, put on some pants — but I just got back from he movies and found this great video in a basket on my doorstep. It's the one we've all been waiting for, a gift from the cold, desolate North: A sportscast featuring presumptive Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin! Boom goes the dynamite, following the jump. The year was 1988. The Redskins beat ...

Dear Comcast, I hear you’ll be instituting a bandwidth cap of 250GB per residential subscriber. Well, that’s totally your call. You take that prerogative, bad boy. Nip those crazy downloaders where it hurts most. “No more of that HD nonsense for you bandits, BitTorrent or no BitTorrent, iTunes or no iTunes,” you’ll say to them come October.

I have no idea how much bandwidth my house uses each month. But for $45 a month for internet, no one from Comcast had better be calling me to discuss it. They'd lose more than an internet customer, that's for sure. Greedy bastids.

This Star Wars Landspeeder is a full-sized, drivable, Jedi-approved replica built by Daniel Deutsch, who designed his version from the ground up. Neatorama dug up this 1:1 scale speeder, which has a custom aluminum chassis, fiberglass body, and an electric drive system that hits lightspeed at 25 mph (UPDATED: with gallery). The art detail is also pretty amazing (and reeks of authenticity), with body work and fake damage consistent with the landspeeder in the film. ...

Win; Mac; Linux It’s always surprised me that Google has a few desktop applications (Picasa, Google Desktop Search, Google Talk, etc…), but for one reason or another they don’t have any programs that leverage some of their other big services. Having a program for Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and several others would all make a lot of sense in my book. We’ve seen programs like Mozilla’s Prism that aims to convert a website into ...

The ISS is full of laptops, used for experiments, email, or just watching movie rips on VCDs in 2001. But this time, someone's laptop has managed to make it all the way up into Earth orbit carrying the Gammima.AG worm—one that leeches login data for Asian MMORPGs. We're doomed! The ISS doesn't have a full-time net connection, but astronauts can send email periodically through the Ku-band main data link. NASA reassures us that any virus ...

The standard one costs $25, but you'll have to pay more if you own a larger sized set. ...

Martin Montesano's giant "Walking Beast" isn't the first robot spider ever made, but it is the only one I can recall that is this enormous and has the ability to take on passengers. His 12,000-pound, 23-foot-long creation was built over the course of three years at an expense of $50,000—and it can carry up to six passengers in its steel belly and two (including the driver) in the head. If you are fortunate enough to ...
