My only question is, what the hell took them so long?! Now we just have to wait for them to announce the iPhone, and the Touch Diamond2/Touch Pro2. Anyone wanna start a rumor?

Bra That Increases Cleavage When Wearer is Aroused



Gizmodo has posted one of their more interesting articles detailing a new bra that will increase the cleavage of the wearer as it senses the desire for intercourse.  It does this by starting at, err...monitoring her temperature and then pushing her funbags together, showing off the newly created cleavage.

Break it Down Baby!

Though many of you have danced (and not everyone does it well; you know who you are!), I would feel safe betting that most of you have done that dancing here in the US of A.  A while back, Matt Harding decided that he was going to travel the world, and instead of keychains or shot glasses, he would dance on film for his momento.  Enter Wherethehellismatt.com.  He's made several videos now, and even has a corporate sponsor!


And since our world has overcrowding out the you-know-what, somebody else was bound to have this idea too.  Ladies and gentlemen, Davey Dance Blog.  While Matt Harding does just a short clip of dance from each place in his videos, David Fishel devotes an entire song and video to dancing in the place he is currently inhabiting.  He even gets some of the locals, friends and family to help out with some of the videos.  Personal favorites here, there, and everywhere.  Enjoy!

Facebook for Your Windows Mobile Phone


If you're running Windows Mobile on your cell phone, you may have noticed that unless you have very few options as far as Facebook apps go.  Well no more!  Microsoft has released a new app for Windows Mobile 6, though I was actually able to get it to run on my old WM5 phone.  Quoting Microsoft, you are able to:


  • Send messages to any of the people in your Friends list.
  • Take pictures and videos on your phone, then upload them right to Facebook.
  • Send messages or call people in your Friends list.
  • Manage your profile and post anytime, anywhere.

Very cool and definitely useful for anybody who likes to use Facebook on the go.  Link below.

Windows 7 RC Now Available

There isn't a whole lot more to say here.  Its been rumored forever,and now its finally here.  They are leaving it available to the public through July, and there is an unlimited number of product keys, so you can use this on several machines if you wanted to.  The keys are good for one year, at which point, your computer will sink into the black hole known as Microsoft Licensing.

Wolfram Alpha to Change the Internet Forever

In what could be the biggest change to the Internet since Al Gore created it, Dr Stephen Wolfram has created a machine named the Wolfram Alpha that will push the line of artificial intelligence forward beyond anything we've seen.  As read in The Independent:

The real innovation, however, is in its ability to work things out "on the fly", according to its British inventor, Dr Stephen Wolfram. If you ask it to compare the height of Mount Everest to the length of the Golden Gate Bridge, it will tell you. Or ask what the weather was like in London on the day John F Kennedy was assassinated, it will cross-check and provide the answer. Ask it about D sharp major, it will play the scale. Type in "10 flips for four heads" and it will guess that you need to know the probability of coin-tossing. If you want to know when the next solar eclipse over Chicago is, or the exact current location of the International Space Station, it can work it out.


And while this amazing new technology is still very new, just the idea and technology behind it is enough to make nerd boys everywhere dirty their laundry.
