Aaaah, Citroën. I’ve been fascinated by the French icons ever since first seeing them during a family trip to France in the late ’70s. Of course the 2CV was ubiquitous, but it was, at the time, the CX Pallas that really intrigued me, with its slanted rear wheel cover and dreamy hydropneumatic suspension. There was […]
Riggs Product Group is selling a Pininfarina-designed ergonomic office chair for the hefty price of about $3k (currently on sale for just $2k!), no doubt reached in part by what it must have cost them to get Pininfarina to do the design. While the chairs do look cool, the fact that they have wheels does […]
NASA has decided to push back the launch date for it’s Luncar Reconnaissance Orbiter from December to late February. They claim it’s because the February launch window gives them more launch opportunities, relieving pressure from the tighter December schedule. Instead, the Air Force’s X-37B unmanned spaceplane will hitch a ride on an Atlas rocket in […]
Two brothers responsible for the Shadow botnet were arrested in late July by the Dutch High Tech Crime Unit. But instead of just shutting down the evil network of victim PCs, the Dutch agency instead worked with Kaspersky Labs to create a fix and distribute it out to infected computers using the botnet itself. No […]
Samsung E200 Eco This new handset has a case made entirely from bioplastic, which is derived from corn. Use of bioplastic eliminates harmful substances from the manufacturing process & thus the environment (ultimately) like lead, cadmium and mercury. As a bonus, you can heat it up and pour melted butter and salt over it to […]
Now this is no fun. Citing a lack of other prominent features (no, not Terry Gilliam’s production company), Warner Brothers has decided to push back Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince all the way to next July 17th! For those of you counting-challenged, that’s just three days short of 11 months from now. Yuck. Don’t […]
Yesss! Elf is coming to Blu-Ray before Christmas, woohoo! Sure, the ending’s a bit botched, what with James Caan’s Walter Hobbs suddenly “coming around” to the idea of having Christmas spirit for no good reason (other than it was time to end the movie), but that aside, this is a must-watch during the holidays. And any […]
Well hell’s bells if that’s not one of the coolest things I’ve seen lately! Designed to aid in the Moon Regan TransAntarctic Expedition, the Lotus Concept Ice Vehicle slides around on skis, propelled by a propeller, fueled by biofuel, and brought to a screeching halt if necessary by a giant clawed foot. It looks like […]
If you’ve been sitting around wondering how you can get people at work to make fun of you even more, here’s a great idea! Get yourself one of these Light Electric Vehicles (LEV) from Ultra Motor! Designed for urban commuters and people who hate carpooling, the A2B isn’t a hybrid and doesn’t have a fuel […]
With those speakers where their eyes should be, the iPig from Speakal seems like it might be causing trouble for Rose Tyler or Martha Jones. But in reality (as if the Doctor has nothing to do with reality) it’s yet another in a long line of animal-shaped iPod dock / remote speaker dealies. Although I […]
