From the article:
Linkin Park rocked a crowd of contest winners and industry personnel just after midnight Thursday (Feb. 21) at the Apple Store in New York’s Soho neighborhood, in what served as an intimate warm-up for a show tonight at the city’s Madison Square Garden.
It seems Apple iTunes really does have some weight in the world now. Previously, bands like Linkin Park, could only sell out to corporations like Sony or Viacom (MTV). This shows that selling out to Apple is now possible.

The other day I was talking to myself, as I often do. I said, “Cory, why aren’t their more novelty, cartoon themed web cams?” GetUSB delivers with a resounding “excellent”.
Nothing special about the web cam other than the totally kick ass Mr. Burns enveloping it.

Kimb Jong-Il, the fearless leader of the forward thinking Silicon Valley of Asia — AKA North Korea — has determined that computers are important. Citizens of his great country must learn programming and stuff. What they could do on their countries locked-down version of the internet remains to be seen. We assume it’s probably to build a Pirate Bay clone to stick it to us capitalists. We hope so.
Note: I tried to find the Newsradio clip of Jimmy James’ friend talking about how computers are the “wave of the future” but no one has uploaded it… sigh…

If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “death metal is great… but the speakers just take away from the experience”, than these are the speakers for you.
They are a limited edition so act fast. The skulls look more monkey than human though. I am not sure if that affects the price. Maybe I’m wrong. The last biology class I took was in high school.

Yes… the title of this post is wordplay and I should be shot for it. What are they though? The picture says it all. These tentacle arms slide over your real arms therefore keeping you from jerking off. Churches all over Idaho are currently passing them out to concerned parents of adolescent boys. We’re not sure though… it seems a little bit of KY on those suction cups might make for quite the titillating experience.
Ok, most of this post was made up. One thing is sure, these tentacle arms suck. Damn I need to go to bed.

Ticketmaster has “aquired” TicketsNow for $265 million. Thanks to their astronomical convenience charge they were able to come up with the money after selling 18 tickets to the Van Halen reunion tour stop in Omaha, Nebraska. Coincidently, this was the total number of tickets sold for the event.

It seems random groping on the Japanese subway is reaching near epidemic proportions. So much so that a new product has been introduced that will aid in proving you are innocent. It is simple really, you attach the strap anyware and carry something in your other hand and bam: Innocent.
From the article:
Groping hands on the Tokyo underground has become something of a famous phenomenon of late, but it’s a real problem. So much so that women can opt to ride in a section of the train just for them — no boys allowed. But the fear these groping incidents inspire is now double-sided. The women are rightfully afraid of lewd hands on the subway, and the men worry of being falsely accused.
Obnoxious has already begun plans to create a fake arm with one of these things attached thus leaving one arm free for groping goodness. If the perverts shell out big bucks for infrared cameras we’re sure they’ll pay a bundle to continue groping. We own the idea. Copyright Obnoxious Mods 2008.

I’m pretty sure these are just cookie-cutters being sold as egg molds but what the hell. We’re not sure if they are trying to make a statement about cholesterol or if they are bringing their love for the NRA to the breakfast table. We think boob shaped molds would make more sense. You know… the yolk could be the nipple. I’ve found the line.

From time to time we find ourselves just having too much cash for our own good. We could give this money to those bastards down at the orphanage but we’d much rather spend it on useless USB gadgets such as this USB vacuum cleaner. It even comes with a thin little USB cord you have to wrap up. Now I can be annoyed on a tiny scale! Thank god for the Chinese children whose little fingers are able to assemble such useful products.

The folks over at OCModShop have come up with a list of the 11 worst computer techs of all time. Apparently over there a list of 10 is just too good for them. They HAD to have that extra one entry. We think its a pretty good list. Especially the entry about the VESA local bus. We totally hated this technology and how it was all up in our computers… and stuff.
