From A Hamburger Today Your burger won't look this good. Business Wire Yesterday Burger King released the Angry Whopper in the US, a version of the Whopper topped with spicy crispy onions, jalapeños, pepper jack cheese, bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, mayonnaise, and spicy Angry Sauce. Visit the burger's official site Angry-Gram to send the subject of your anger a personalized message screamed forth from an animated Angry Whopper. Although the marketing campaign behind the Angry Whopper gives the impression that eating it will result in your tongue being burned off, Marvo of product review blog (and AHT favorite) The Impulsive Buy...
Just because game designers are adapting their wares for multimedia phone apps does not mean that the games have to make any sense at all. But are they good enough to make people act like crazy fools in public? Of course they are. Just take a look at the latest Chokkan (motion) game from Japan, Zuntata, from the old-school game developer Taito. Zuntata is a downloadable music game built for phones with accelerometers. Using the game’s software, users simulate the playing of music (like in Guitar Hero) by simply strumming their fingers above or near the phone. This facility has...
...or so it would seem from this list of the UK's Top 20 influential bloggers. After the top 7 or so (by and large BBC bred or fed, or ex BBC blogerati - which with their scale is not surprising) it seemed to start to go rather wrong to me (without going into the whose ins and outs, but I thought I could name at least 5 that are more influential / bigger trafficked / more quoted etc than some on this list ....TechCrunch UK for starters) so I looked at the method of calculation: NowPublic examined statistics in each...
When you think of autonomous, unmanned spy vehicles, you probably imagine the telltale shape of a small aircraft overhead, and the suspicious sound of whirring propellers. Spy vehicles, however, aren't just for the sky anymore. The U.S. Navy has funded the development of an autonomous, unmanned vehicle shaped like a fish and capable of covering up to three times the distance of a typical UAV using the same battery. It's called GhostSwimmer, and it'll be entering our waters in 2009. Researchers at Boston Engineering and at the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering created GhostSwimmer, which a refined version...
Last night Ashlee Simpson and husband Pete Wentz welcomed a baby boy into their lives, and in turn, all of our lives. You didn't think these two would give this little guy a normal name, did you? Unlike many celeb couples who allow their kid a shot with a normal middle name, this one is just screwed no matter what way you look at it: Bronx Mowgli Wentz. Words fail. The proud pop explained the decision, with US noting that "his goal was to make sure his kid would have a moniker that would work as either 'a rock star...
In case you’re one of those douches that wear Porsche memorabilia and correct people on the proper punctuation of the Italian namesake, this racing wheel is for you, buddy. The Fantec-made Porsche 911 Carrera Racing Wheel works with both the PC and PS3. In case this wheel seems vaguely familiar, it seems Fantec makes these Porsche-branded wheels for each Porsche model as this one is for the 911 Carrera where the one announced a few weeks ago was for the Xbox 360, but also modeled after the 911 Turbo. Interested? Ships for $129 but not until February 15th, 2009....
A bejewled skull relic at the beautiful Franziskanerkirche in Salzburg, Austria. The label pasted on the skull’s forehead reads “S. Evtyches M.” Though this skull is likely only a namesake, the original Eutyches was a Byzantine monk who was made an infamous heretic when he suggested that Christ was a sort of human-divine chimera. Though only a slight distinction from saying Christ was both fully human and fully divine, he was nonetheless cast out from the church and died in exile. In this case, the aesthetic of our voyage vault is as intriguing as the snippet of history we...
I'd like to take a quick moment out of my half-assed Friday afternoon posting to bring up some extremely sad internet news -- the website FireJoeMorgan.com, quite possibly my favorite site on the entire internet (besides this), is officially coming to an end. For those of you unfamiliar with Fire Joe Morgan, in short, it's a sports site maintained by three comedy writers (including Mose Schrute from The Office) that aggregates and rips on terrible sportswriting with equal parts rational analysis and smartassed humor on a level of brilliance rarely seen outside of this Photoshop we did of Brett Favre's...
With no fancy UI, Twitterank (not there is only 1 R in there) As the name implies, Twitterank is sort of like Page Rank for twitter users. True to its namesake, it uses “back references” of sorts to determine how worthy of a person you are in Twitterverse So using a secret algorithm from some Google employee that write it, you get a magic score. I ran a test but the site was down for maintenance. ...
