We've been kind of laser crazy here at Gizmodo lately, and with good reason: Deployable solid state lasers could be landing in military hands as early as 2009. We simply wish to be at the forefront of the pew pew revolution, with the hope that any burning sensation our writers feel in the near future is the result of an unforgettable night out, not a disgruntled weapons grade laser system operator. But that last little ...

Halloween fog machines? Been there, inhaled that. Bubble machines? Still pretty cool, soap in the eye or not. But what if humanity had created a machine that combined the venerable fog machine with bubbles? Interest piqued? Consider it done! According to the Bubble Fogger's Amazon listing, this marvelous contraption creates fog solution-filled bubbles and casts them out into the Halloween kitsch-filled ether that is your home in October. When the bubbles pop, most likely in ...

These bloody hand and foot wrist rests aren't meant to taunt your co-workers with adolescent slasher film humor. Their intention is to honor the many who've fallen, organizing spreadsheets and returning company emails and remind you that, at any time, you could be a mouse click away from clicking no more. Just make sure to close that sad bikini model page before you go. [Brando]

So, are you enjoying the snappy, clean performance of Google Chrome since downloading yesterday? If so, you might want to take a closer peek at the end user license agreement you didn't pay any attention to when downloading and installing it. Because according to what you agreed to, Google owns everything you publish and create while using Chrome. Ah-whaaa? Here are the juicy bits in question: 11. Content license from you 11.1 You retain copyright ...

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets, Transportation The only thing worse than getting a punctured tire is trying to use a flimsy scissor jack to change it. Break down on a dirt or snow-covered road and you probably have as good a shot at losing your hand as you do fixing a flat. Not so with the Titan, which may look like an exhaust-powered whoopee cushion, but can actually haul cars (even lifted rigs) up into the ...

Sure, the whole idea about Web 2.0 and Social Media is about openness and transparency. The only problem with that is, some people have no problem crossing a line of propriety. We’ve all heard the warning about how nothing is ever deleted from the Web and how what you post to the Web could come back to haunt you. For most of us who are experienced with living on the Web, it is almost second ...

There are a lot of great reasons for a company online to offer an Application Programming Interface (API) for outside developers to build on, but one we're starting to see more of is an API as the ultimate recruitment tool. Red hot lifestreaming service FriendFeed announced this afternoon that the company has hired Benjamin Golub, the creator of FriendFeedToGo, the mobile interface of choice for FF users. Golub is also the creator of RSSMeme, a ...

Interesting to see that good API web devs get essentially the same cred as game mod devs.

Project Inkwell's Spark is not only a potential OLPC competitor because of it's handheld, UMPC form factor and K-12 educational focus, but also because it doesn't look like it's made exclusively for the preschool user base. The Spark was developed in conjunction with the design firm Ideo, and though details are vague, the visuals are somewhat revealing. The Spark looks roughly the size of a PSP, with a +/- rocker switch and scroll wheel adorning ...

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Blizzard, News items, Mounts The Zul'Aman bear mount has been a popular treat -- popular enough that folks offer paid runs to get the bear mount. We already knew the chance to get the bear was going away when Wrath comes out. However, in the bad news category, Zarhym revealed over the weekend that bear mounts will no longer be obtainable when the content patch comes out. While I know ...

For many enthusiasts, pimping out car sound systems (and even bicycles in some circles) is a time-honored tradition. However, Dutch artist Olaf Mooij may have taken this pastime to extreme new levels with his DJ Mobile. Inspired by the Popemobile and the song “God is a DJ” by Faithless, Mooij created a rolling PA system complete with two turntables and several gigantic speakers that look more like rockets. Details are scarce on the system itself, ...

If you've dedicated your life to electronics rather than the gym, Arm Wrestle Mania might be your only chance to actually beat someone in a show of strength. Hit start and repeatedly tap the power button to make your five-inch plastic strongman bring the pain on his competitor— whoever taps quickest wins the contest. There's something almost poetic in taking a sport tough enough to base an entire Sylvester Stallone movie on and turning it ...

Speaking to an audience at the recent HOPE hackercon event, Mythbusters' Adam Savage describes a harrowing conference call in which most, if not all of the big name credit card companies bullied the Discovery Channel into axing a show involving RFID vulnerabilities. Adam noted that he got chills just thinking about it and claims that Tory still gets "white" when describing the conversation. I suppose anyone would feel a little intimidated (and probably pee their ...
