I See No Possible Dangers to Embedding Swarovski Crystals in Contact Lenses [Cool Like Ray Charles] (7)
on
Gizmodo (3607) permalink
Gee whiz guys, why didn't any of us think of this sooner? You know Swarovski crystals, those fancy, shiny pieces of glass that kind of look like diamonds but are much cheaper? Let's put them in contact lenses! Sure, it's essentially putting shards of glass on your eye, but it's just so cool looking! Bling bling! Going blind is totally hot this season anyways, so we'll just ride this wave of trendiness all the way ...- Shane Conder said: Uhm... really?

The Deadly Aftermath of a Rocket Explosion Seconds After Launch [Kaboom] (9)
on
Gizmodo (3607) permalink
While space travel is safe for the most part, sometimes things go really wrong. Like last week's NASA's rocket explosion on the Wallops Island, where an ATK Launch Vehicle X-1 exploded only seconds after liftoff, with hazardous debris falling on land and sea. We are used to seeing the fireworks in the air, but what happens when that flaming debris hits the ground is much more spectacular and scary, as you can see in this ...Shared by aNTwNHs (78) Daemach (9) David (30) hikikomori (55) Jing (7) Paul (3) Richard (41) richtannehill (29) Ryan (16)Contribute comment -

CVT i3101 iPhone Dock Doesn't Need Your Stinkin' iPhone [Cvt] (7)
on
Gizmodo (3607) permalink
The CVT i3101 is not so different than the countless other iPhone/iPod alarm clocks we've seen on the market, but it does have a few standout features. First off, it's wall-mountable, saving you ever-precious nightstand space and giving your home that "wow, I have electronics stuck to my wall just like Tony Stark!" feel. Plus, the i3101 supports SD cards, allowing you to still play MP3s when your spouse/questionable one-night partner runs off with the ...Contribute comment -

Besides being a magnet for penis puns, this pen is absolutely bursting with functionality that will leave just about any tool junkie satisfied. At the most basic level you get a handsome stainless steel ballpoint pen, but it can also transform into "a hole puncher, a stainless steel file, a short cutting blade, a flat screwdriver, a wire sleeve remover/small nail remover, an ear pick, a long cutting blade, a tweezer, a Philips screwdriver, and ...Shared by Alan (5) atomantic (5) Ben Shoemate (23) Brad (2) Ching (21) Danny (3) Fred Schechter (75) Jing (7) Jon (27) Larry (12) Marcus Beagley (19) RMathew (10) rOckY (154) Ron (11) tarman (24) Tim (2)Contribute comment -

Everyone loves a good panic button, and what bigger emergency is there than being condomless when you find a woman that actually wants to have sex with you? Relax, this condom dispensing "Don't Panic" button has your back. Well, it would if it actually existed. Unfortunately, it is currently in the concept phase.

World's Cheapest 64GB USB Stick Costs Only $111 [64Gb] (11)

Gizmodo (3607) permalink
For the world's cheapest man, we present the world's (supposedly) cheapest 64GB USB stick. It's assembled just for you out of the Netherlands, the place where quality (?) USB drives are made. You have the choice of brown or black, which makes perfect sense since this thing's made of leather, and nobody wants a purple leather USB drive. We're cheap, not animals.

If traditional iPod-white earbuds are a good way to yell "mug me!" we guess that wooden earbuds might send the message "I could be so cheap that I fashioned my iPod from a tree so I probably have no money in my wallet." From Radius, the HP-WCF11M earphones feature 10mm neodymium drives with 18Hz-21,000Hz frequency response, all encapsulated in nature's speaker. Technically the HP-WCF11M are Japan only, but it looks like Radius is moderately US-friendly. ...- Derick Valadao said: Ouch :S

Blogger Felix Geisendorfer points out a clever URL hack that scored him free Wi-Fi at the Atlanta airport. I found that I could easily visit sites like slashdot, Google, or even this weblog, when adding a ?.jpg at the end of the url. The next logical step was to automate that. I downloaded Greasemonkey and wrote a 4 line script that would add ?.jpg to every link in a document.

Emily Isn't Real, But Would You Have Guessed? [Cgi] (43)

The woman above is not real. I mean, she was real once, when real actress Emily O’Brien provided Image Metrics (you know their work from GTAIV) with 35 facial poses in front of a pair of digital cameras. From there, O’Brien was dismissed so the animators could go to work. Apparently "ninety per cent of the work is convincing people that the eyes are real." And the results—while not always perfect—are pretty extraordinary.
