5 Reasons You Should Be Scared of Apple
This is why Steve Jobs can go right ahead and eat ALL the dicks. (via Digg)
Apple’s latest overpriced fetish-object, summed up by none other than Pee-Wee Herman. I’d make a joke about him watching porn on it, but it’s late and I’m tired.
Holy crap. Buckyballs are the coolest toy ever. I am definitely ordering a set of these. (via Boingboing)
EDIT: Way cheaper on Ebay. It’s too bad I’m poor, or I’d seriously consider the 2000 ball mega set.
Finally, a legitimate use for Microsoft’s Surface. I foresee Vayda selling some internal organs to afford one of these in the near future. (via Engadget)
Sickest computer case ever.
The Thermaltake Level 10 is the most beautiful, original PC case I’ve ever seen. For $700, I suppose it should be. The compartmentalized design is really ingenious, and looks badass. I can only hope that 3rd party Chinese knockoffs start showing up at some point, because I’ll never be able to drop that kind of cash on just a case. (via Digg)
Finally a legitimate Android replacement for the G1
I very much enjoy my G1 / HTC Dream phone, but it is not without its flaws. The hinge is and always has been creaky, and I’m lucky if I get more than 24 hours on a battery charge. Faults and all, it has still been the only Android phone with a physical keyboard available for the year-or-so since it launched.
Today Motorola announced the CLIQ, which despite the silly name, looks like a proper replacement for the G1. The custom UI looks great, and seems much snappier than the sluggish G1. I also prefer the traditional slider format used by the CLIQ to the G1’s “swing-slide” gimmick. No word on battery life yet, but it can’t possibly be worse than what I get now. Hopefully by the time this launches in the as-yet-undetermined future I will have a job and can afford to buy one out of contract.
DIY Coilgun is Fracking Sweet!
This guy spent about 40 hours and ~$130 building what has to be the sweetest looking coilgun I’ve ever seen. Shoots a 42g slug at about 100fps after an 8s charge from household current, or about 40s from a battery. More pictures here. (via Engadget)
