Hanging out at sites like Giz may have instilled in you an insatiable, pocket-emptying gadget habit. But now we're entering a new era—the old guys on the TV are saying that soon we may not even have pockets, let alone money for them. Don't panic though: You've probably got a wealth of gadgetry sitting underutilized in your living rooms, closets and basements, just waiting to be given powerful new (not exactly authorized) features. For free. ...

Gadgets like this Beer-Filled USB Flash Drive really make me question the basics. More than my first-year university philosophy class did, anyway. Existential angst, the downfall of western civilization, and "customizable floaties" after the jump. Is capitalism really that great, if it leads to beer-filled USB flash drives with "optional customizable floating objects" inside? Should we Americans really be that pleased with our free speech, if it means I get emails from people who make ...

Worried that you might have Multiple Sclerosis but are too lazy to go to the doctor to check and see? Well, you're an idiot, but your laziness may soon be, if not rewarded, at least not punished thanks to the work of some researchers at the University of Leeds. They've developed new biosensor technology that makes it possible for a handheld device to check for a number of different diseases in under 15 minutes. This ...

For the first time ever, I agree with something Richard Stallman says. See here. In a nutshell, he says the cloud is all about taking away your freedom and locking you into long-term contracts that you can’t get out of and which will exploit you terribly, which is why Google and others are salivating over it. He’s hit the nail on the head. The arc of this narrative — from the Original Borg (IBM) and ...

Rumors and logic speculated that Warner would release The Dark Knight in time for the holiday season, and the Blu-ray two-disc and collectible limited edition will indeed go on sale December 9th, the same day as the standard DVD release. The standard, two-disc edition will be Warner's first BD Live disc, and it'll pack all sorts of Batarrific extras. From HiDef Digest: Extras included on the first disc also include "Gotham Uncovered: Creation of a ...

Here's a video displaying all commercial air traffic in the world during a 24-hour period. Seriously, I'm moving to New York City tomorrow and seeing the flight density in this computer simulation scares me a bit. Thankfully, it's a big planet with plenty of space to fly. But then, pilot friends tell me that sometimes they get close enough to wave at each other, so maybe it's not as big as to accommodate the 7.4 ...

Karen Hanrahan has been using the same McDonald's hamburger as a prop in her "Healthy Choices for Children" class since 1996 -- 12 years! -- and it's hardly aged a day in all that time. McDonald's should add "immortality" to its list of Unique Selling Propositions for its burgers (unless Karen has an ornate oil painting of the burger in her living room in which it slowly ages, grows mouldy, and decomposes). The burger on ...

Se há algo que mesmo os fanboys de outros sistemas operacionais concordam é que o Tux é um excelente mascote. De todos talvez seja o melhor. Em segundo eu colocaria o diabinho do BSD, mas muito de longe. Aquele camaleão nojento do SUSE, nem entra na competição. Que se espete em um clips enferrujado e morra de tétano. Igual ao chapéu do RedHat, roubado da Carmem Sandiego. Criado por Larry Ewing em 1996, Tux já ...

So you know the Rubiks Cube algorithm and movements like your kids names, eh? It’s understandable as the ‘cubes been out since ‘80, but this latest flavor will probably keep you busy for sometime thanks to different size mirrored blocks. Apparently, it’s only available in Japan right for ¥2079 ($20) so you might have to work a little harder to play with this one. Unboxing video after the jump.

And when I finally saw the ...

Whaaat? John Hodgman, that PC guy from those Apple commercials, was spotted on the train with an iPhone. A voice of dissension from the Apple party for years, it's a blow to PC users everywhere to see him caving to the casual cool hoodies of Justin Long. That's good, Hodgman. Keep your daughter turned away. Don't let her watch as a grown man abandons everything he believes in. [ISO50]
