CrunchGear is, as you know, the internet’s primary nexus for trade secrets, corporation-breaking revelations, and the latest salacious home videos of tech CEOs (yes, Jen-Hsun Hwang, we have that one). Our power to elevate or crush giants in the industry is kept in check only by our unerring discretion — and by a set of laws, carved into amber slabs and venerated constantly in a hidden shrine… → Read More

I’m a big believer in open source development. The bazaar development model allows quality ideas to float to the top, albeit in sometimes contentious ways. The Linux kernel, the Apache httpd web server, and the PHP programming language are all developed in the open, and anyone is allowed to participate in their development. Filing bug reports is as important as writing the actual code. It helps… → Read More
The readers of this blog are probably far to well-informed to take part in the “electromagnetic allergy” FUD and NIMBYism. I’m sure it’s clear to you guys that we’re all saturated with various forms of radiation all the time, and having a radio tower by your house isn’t likely to do anything other than mess with your reception. But the residents of Craigavon, a town in Northern Ireland South… → Read More

The Onion, always good for a quick larf, just posted a list of great new devices launched at CES including but not limited to:
Radioshack—Big Sack of Adapters: The right one is probably in there somewhere
Bose—Noise-Postponing Headphones: Using Bose’s patented SoundDelay technology, these headphones store ambient distractions for up to six hours before unleashing them all at once against the… → Read More

“As soon as my blackness enters the frame…” Listen, HP, this is the 21st century. Obama is in the White House. This needs to be fixed STAT. → Read More
It’s an age-old trope: the enhance in the movie that can zoom into a finitely granular photo in order to see the face of a killer in someone’s eye. It’s a beautiful McGuffin, a way to stick in a little tech nerdery into an otherwise boring scene.
It also saves writers from having to think up really good scenes. → Read More
LG is trying to get kids to think before they text. Instead of featuring a cartoon frog and his skateboarding friends, they’ve hired James Lipton and his beard to encourage kids to Give It A Ponder before they text. Well played, LG. Well played. → Read More
It’s just as Rob over at BoingBoing says: you don’t have to be mean, negative, or hip to make a good point. The Sun and its ilk are still worthwhile and will continue to be so for at least a few years. Don’t forget what years of experience, local contacts, and a nice big tabloid layout can do for you.
Check out the short video inside. → Read More
Like a ’70s cop team – one is the goodie two shoes and the other one is the drunk – the DuinoTagger and Talcapult allow you to shoot things and make smoke appear. The gun uses an Arduino board to control a tiny catapult that blows out a little puff of smoke. → Read More
The LHC is recovering from a serious overheating problem, caused by a piece of stale bread dropped by a bird onto an apparently unprotected thermal vent. Impossible, you say? Not impossible. I used to bulls-eye whomp rats in my T-16 back home. → Read More

When I first heard that Microsoft was going to be publicizing Windows 7 in the legendarily offensive “Family Guy,” I thought “Wow, either Microsoft is cooler than I thought or they’ve never actually seen the show.” Unsurprisingly, it seems to have been the latter. → Read More
Oh, it is a strange world we live in. Our phones are computers, our computers are supercomputers, and our bikes are rocket bikes. So why should it seem strange when our email provider translates incoming voicemails?
This one in particular shows how far technology has come. (Short, funny video inside) → Read More
SeeNow is a cute website that allows you to create those old timey “face-in-hole” pictures so popular at county fairs, hay rides, and correctional facilities. The concept is simple: you upload, link to, or take a picture of your face and then put it into a series of clever situations or onto the faces of popular celebrities. Step 4? Profit! → Read More
Right now Devin is probably doing Everclear shots and dancing the Macarena with an old woman in a pantsuit because it’s his birthday! That’s right, our own Devin Coldewey just turned 18 and he’s legal, ladies. If you see him tonight buy him a Fuzzy Nipple on CrunchGear. → Read More
Oh, newfangled world. You are so full of wonders. And people have so much free time to adorn you with useless but amazing things, like this map of Sir Mix-A-Lot’s escapades in “My Posse’s On Broadway.” In the end, he really only cruises down a couple streets then goes and eats (twice), but that’s not the point. Adam Cohn has recontextualized 80s hip hop into Web 2.0, which is a one-way ticket to… → Read More

What happens when your Windows 7 party gets a little crazy? People start talking about things like “boot sectors,” “man-on-man DIMM insertion,” and “[beep].”

We don’t usually announce blog launches but this one is pretty much beauty: it’s PlasticAxe, a blog about music gaming. Granted he’ll probably run out of stuff to write about on day 10, but Joe Rybicki, formerly of 1UP and a bunch of other gaming sites and magazines, has melded his love of music gaming with his love of Wordpress templates and created a niche blog to end all niche blogs. → Read More
