Sex Toy PC Case Mod

`Let’s face it: being a dedicated gamer can be lonely. Sure, you have your Everquest clan or your Quake buddies, but communing with fellow gaming geeks doesn’t fulfill certain…needs. At the same time, it’s hard to tear yourself away from the computer long enough to chase tail and engage in archaic but obligatory mating rituals. Now you don’t have to leave your true love behind. In fact, you and your PC are about to get closer…much, much closer.

We created this case mod to give the truly hard-core gamer an appropriate outlet. Do you love your computer? Really, really love your computer? Now you can satisfy your passion for PCs and your passion for pussy at the same time. How’s that for added functionality?’

The Pussy Snorkel

`The cone shaped nostril inserts were designed to allow one size to fit all. The slider provides a snug fit. The clitoral stimulator, with natural head movement, excites the receiver, in addition to the oral arousal. In short, it doubles the pleasure, and doubles the fun! With The Pussy Snorkel you won’t miss a lick!

WARNING: USPSA* Surgeon General has determined that continuous use of The Pussy Snorkel will cause multiple orgasms, which could result in temporary loss of energy. ‘

The astronaut of the internet..? I don’t know.

I can see half of a testicle, so that probably means it’s not safe for work. :)

Strutting onto the keyboard catwalk

`Its streamlined metallic bodywork is seriously easy on the eye, but the biggest attraction is the fact that each of its keys features a colour OLED screen. Cleverer still is its ability to store a number of preset images and configurations, enabling you customize the keyboard specifically for unique pieces of software, such as Photoshop or Half-Life 2 (click to enlarge gallery images below).’

Lifetiles

`Years ago, a fascination with antique optical toys led Rufus Butler Seder to wonder if he could create motion pictures on a grand scale using no electricity, moving parts, or special lighting. After some experiment he developed an 8″ square, lens-ribbed glass tile that was to form the building block for his dream come true. He called it a LIFETILE.

LIFETILES enable Rufus to create “Movies for the Wall”: optical glass-tiled murals that appear to come to life, move, and change when the viewer walks or rides by. The medium is durable, maintenance-free, and lends itself to almost any subject or location, outdoors or in. Since 1990 Rufus has created scores of sizeable works for museums, aquariums and other public places around the world.’

Soldiers’ spoof Iraq video crashes computers

‘British soldiers serving in Iraq crashed defense ministry computers in London last week after officials downloaded a spoof video the troops had made of a chart-topping song.

The soldiers’ four-minute video take of the 1971 hit ‘Is This The Way To Amarillo’ had officers laughing out loud back at London headquarters as they e-mailed copies to each other. [..]

In the spoof video, a soldier looking like Kay marches through a British base in Iraq calling on fellow troopers to join him, including two dressed only in underwear, webbing and rifles.’

And you can see the video here.

Super Water Kills Bugs Dead

`Developed by Oculus Innovative Sciences in Petaluma, the super-oxygenated water is claimed to be as effective a disinfectant as chlorine bleach, but is harmless to people, animals and plants. If accidentally ingested by a child, the likely impact is a bad case of clean teeth. [..]

According to Hoji Alimi, founder and president of Oculus, the ion-hungry water creates an osmotic potential that ruptures the cell walls of single-celled organisms, and out leaks the cell’s cytoplasm. Because multicellular organisms — people, animals, plants — are tightly bound, the water is prevented from surrounding the cells, and there is no negative impact.’

Poor Man’s WiFi

` Make 2.4GHz parabolic mesh dishes from cheap but sturdy Chinese cookware scoops & a USB WiFi adaptor ! The largest (300mm diam)shows 15-18dB gain (enough for a LOS range extension to 3-5km), costs ~US$5 & comes with a user friendly bamboo handle that suits WLAN fieldwork- if you can handle the curious stares!’

Suspect’s cell phone rings in on missing assault rifle case

`The bell certainly didn’t save two suspects in the case of a missing assault rifle.

A ringing cell phone was the downfall of the men, who insisted they had no knowledge of an AK-47 used in an October shooting. They continued to stand by their story under questioning.

Then their cell phones chimed in. As Detective Kevin Doran tried to silence the rings, he noticed one had interesting wallpaper – a picture of one of the suspects holding an AK-47.

“A picture truly is worth a thousand words,” said Capt. Joe Fair, the vice squad’s commander.’

How to destroy the Earth

`This is not a guide for wusses whose aim is merely to wipe out humanity. I can in no way guarantee the complete extinction of the human race via any of these methods, real or imaginary. Humanity is wily and resourceful, and many of the methods outlined below will take many years to even become available, let alone implement, by which time mankind may well have spread to other planets; indeed, other star systems. If total human genocide is your ultimate goal, you are reading the wrong document. There are far more efficient ways of doing this, many which are available and feasible RIGHT NOW. Nor is this a guide for those wanting to annihilate everything from single-celled life upwards, render Earth uninhabitable or simply conquer it. These are trivial goals in comparison.

This is a guide for those who do not want the Earth to be there anymore.’

Flying faulty jumbo across Atlantic saves BA £100,000

‘A British Airways jumbo jet carrying 351 passengers was forced to make an emergency landing after an 11-hour transatlantic flight with a failed engine.

The fault occurred on take-off from Los Angeles but the pilot declined all opportunities to land in the US and instead continued on three engines for 5,000 miles to Britain.

The incident happened three days after a European regulation came into force requiring airlines to compensate passengers for long delays or cancellations. Under the new rules, if the pilot had returned to Los Angeles, BA would have been facing a compensation bill of more than £100,000.’

SeXBox Vibration Controller

`Here at /8====>, we’ve already combined two things essential to live, strip clubs and food. Now it’s time to put sex and video games together in a pair we like to call The SeXBox. The second you start playing with this while on XBox Live, it turns into teledildonics!

This mod didn’t take any engineering. There’s nothing new or amazing that we’re doing with this, hell, we really didn’t even think of the method first. However, we DID involve sex, so we win!’


FCC ‘crosses the line’ with broadcast flag – court

`The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) overstepped its authority by requiring devices capable of receiving digital TV broadcasts to recognize data called a ‘broadcast flag’ that can prevent copying, a federal judge has said.

US Circuit Judge Harry Edwards told the FCC that it had “crossed the line” when it required DRM technology to be included in all DTV devices on sale in the USA from 1 July. This would include TVs, set top boxes, PC tuner cards, VCRs, DVD players, and similar devices.’


Solar Tower of Power Finds Home

`The quest for a new form of green energy has taken a significant step with the purchase of a 25,000-acre sheep farm in the Australian outback. The huge alternative energy project isn’t driven by manure, but by a 1-kilometer-high thermal power station called the Solar Tower.

Announced several years ago, the 3,280-foot Solar Tower is one of the most ambitious alternative energy projects on the planet: a renewable energy plant that pumps out the same power as a small reactor but is totally safe. If built, it will be nearly double the height of the world’s tallest structure, the CN Tower in Canada.’

Near Earth Object Program – Current Impact Risks

‘The following table lists potential future Earth impact events that the JPL Sentry System has detected based on currently available observations. Click on the object designation to go to a page with full details on that object.

Sentry is a highly automated collision monitoring system that continually scans the most current asteroid catalog for possibilities of future impact with Earth over the next 100 years. Whenever a potential impact is detected it will be analyzed and the results immediately published here, except in unusual cases where an IAU Technical Review is underway. For more information on impact monitoring and risk assessment see our Impact Risk Introduction and Frequently Asked Impact Risk Questions.’

Project Blinkenlights: Arcade Games

`Tetris ist one of the most popular computer games of the last 20 years. Since its invention in 1985 it has found its way on almost any computer system and game console in one form or the other. With Arcade you can play Tetris with your mobile phone – on a playground 3370 m2 in size.

Whoever stands in front of Bibliothèque nationale de France can connect himself with the building by dialing +33 (1) 44 24 73 50. The current show will be interrupted and the text “TETRIS” announces that the game can begin.’

Google Search for ‘inurl:”ViewerFrame?Mode=”‘

This search string pops up hundreds of unprotected webcams around the world. At the moment I’m looking at the foyer of some building somewhere. It’s empty. :)

I think it’s hit the mainstream news today some time, so people might start tightening up their camera security.

Probably not tho. You know what people are like. :)

And! It seems some of the cameras can actually be controlled. I think I just pointed someone’s surveillance camera at a different building.. :)

The 2.5 gigapixel photo

‘TNO has produced the largest digital panoramic photo in the world. So, what do we mean by large? After all, modern consumer cameras can easily take a picture with 5 million pixels. Well, we are talking about a photo of completely different dimensions. One with 2.5 billion pixels – that’s 500 times more pixels. If this photo were printed, it would measure 6.67 m by 2.67 m (300 dpi). The photograph shows Delft and its surroundings in the autumn of 2004. It was taken the top of the Electrical Engineering faculty of Delft University, at a height of about 100 m, by TNO.’
