Where NOT to store your game consoles for sale?

|

Not much to talk about…

The video you’re going to watch below is taken at one of the gamespots somewhere in this planet… Someone got a video of stacks of PS3 and XBox360 stored in a bathroom!!!!!

Next time you buy a console, add a note that goes “Please select the less pooped console” =P


Here’s the Engadget Link.

Bring a piece of Knight Rider to your car

|

This goes to all Knight Rider fans (including a friend or two)

Seems like Mio decided to tease Knight Rider fanboys with pre-ordering the Knight Rider GPS…

All you need to do now is get the Knight Rider song, leather jacket, black car and wait for this baby to arrive at your door house… Then GO CRUIZE AROUND LIKE A KNIGHT RIDER!!!

For Knight Rider fanboys, Here’s the Engadget Link… And here’s the RadioShack link

IR controlled Media Center

|

I remember I ran across something similar to this…

As simple as you can see, the circut is connected to the computer’s serial port because it has a pin thats always on even if the computer is on Stand By mode or Turned off…

Well, nothing much to explain… So you just go’n'read the post from Hackaday

Hajime no Ippo is coming in January 2009!?

|

Thank you “Odin” for letting me know… I’ll be sure to get that…

Hajime no Ippo, my fav’ Anime of all time…

A bullied shy high schooler who worked his way to become Japan’s featherweight’s champion and obviously aiming for a world title…

I’ve seen the TV Series and the 2 movies (Didn’t read the comic… I’m not a comic guy) and really got disapointed to know that there’s no more Ippo… But according to the Link “Odin” gave me, there’ll be something amazing coming at January 2009…

Can’t wait to see it…

OSX on eeePC!?

|

Here’s an interesting Hackaday post.

In the Hackaday post, they provided a link to Wired’s “How to install OSX on eeePC”…

But as cool as this goes, there are alot of issues unsolved. Like the Special Buttons (brightness and mute), Ethernet and Flash Support… But hey, atleast the WiFi works under 3rd-party drivers…

This might not be as cool as Mark’s OSX on MSI Wind… But atleast it IS cool…

Here’s the Hackaday Link.
Here’s the WIRED instructions.

Don’t play video games while driving!!!

|

This is ridiculously dangerous!

It’s not from Germany neither Australia… It’s from Honolulu…

Some bus driver was kicked outta his company without payment due to driving the bus while playing with some handheld device (PSP or DS)…

As GamePolitics mentioned, the proof was provided by one of the passengers who recorded the whole thing in a video or something…

We already have reckless stupid idiotic bus drivers here in Kuwait… What would happen if they followed that guy’s lead? =P

Anyways, here’s the GamePolitics link.

Well mannered thief…

|

More weirdness comes from Germany.

Some guy robbed cigarettes and alcohol from a kiosk which in total has 4,300 euros value at Saturday night… Then sent an apology note with 400 euros by Thursday…

Hey, atleast he apologized and gave’em something…

Here’s the REUTERS link.

Atomic level cargo scanner?

|

Yep, some MIT men are working on it…

As you can see, the man above is one of the men who’s developing this thing.

Its a device (or lets say a system) that scans objects in atomic level… Which can basically tell the difference between a TV and a Nuclear bomb!

As the article explains (And as I understood), every element has somekinda signature that the system can pick up and analyse…

While X-Ray scanners only takes a 2D scans and images, this can detect whats inside the cargo more accuratly…

The good thing is, it can detect whats inside without the need to open it and even if it was shielded with led…

Lets just hope that one day, these guys will develop something for our Ministry of Communications so they wouldn’t open up our packages and decide for themselves randomly if the package’s contents are offensive\illegal\harmful =P

I’m sure i’m not explaining much, so Here’s the MIT Link.

Imprisoned by a pig!?

|

As literally as the topic goes, a woman got improsined in her house for 10 days by a pig!

This is not related to the article... Just a funny picture I thought of adding

A woman in Australia held in her house forcefully by a hungry pony-sized 80KGs nicknamed “Bruce” pig!!!

That pig kept banging his head over her bedroom in hope that she feeds it… She even tried to poke it with a broom but that bastard broke it in half with its mouth!!!

I’m starting to wonder if it was an Orc and they were mistaken =P (Yes… I had to play WoW forcefully)…

Imagine something similar happened in Kuwait… But since we don’t have pigs, it’d be Jarbou3 or Bre39y (Lizard)… Oh boy! That’ll be PHUN!!!!

Anyways, Here’s the REUTERS link.

Tiny cute USB keyboard

|

Found this at Engadget…

As you can see, its as small as the pic above…
