As technology advances at a phenomenal speed, there are bound to be some casualties as new devices supersede the old ones, even though the old ones are not really so old. [via geekwithlaptop] DVD players, satnavs, smartphone chargers and dongles could all end up obsolete and dumped by the wayside as soon as next year, according to the latest research from Pi […]
[via interbent] It is amazing where people’s ingenuity can reach. What else we say is we already have at least 7 types of banana holders?

Print adverts need to get a message across with a single image and without the recourse of interactivity that we find today on the Internet. [via webdesignerdepot] As interactive media expands, attention spans are getting shorter and shorter every day. For any company trying to get their product or service out in print format, the task is ever more challengi […]
It's time to update the entries in your browser's links toolbar. But with recent estimates putting the size of the internet at well more than 100 million distinct websites, it's getting harder and harder to get a handle on all the great stuff that's out there. That's why we've compiled this list. And unlike some lists you may ha […]
[via cracked] It doesn't matter whether or not you believe in ghosts, there are some places in which none of us would want to spend a night. These places have well earned their reputations as being so creepy, tragic or mysterious (or all three) that they definitely qualify as "haunted." Places like... #6. Aokigahara Forest Aokigahara is a wood […]
[via consumerist] Walmart can try to spin itself as being on the side of good all it wants, but if it ever suspects you of shoplifting, you may find that you're powerless to fight back. In the case of a couple accused of shoplifting some Bic lighters in Niles, Michigan this past August, Walmart detained them, the police came and cuffed one of them, thei […]
You're having people over for a night of dungeon running, or maybe you are having no people over and playing your friends online with some Left 4 Dead. Either way, you are going to need to eat something during this lengthy gaming session, preferably something you can grasp without one hand without looking. More importantly, it must be something that has […]
A Florida man, Bill Seebeck hit one hell of a jackpot. Playing the $4 slots, he hit the biggest jackpot in the history of the state of Florida: $166,666,666.65. The casino looked at the number and thought two things: 1) that is way more money than we want to lose and 2) that is too many consecutive sixes for foul play to not be involved. [via mademan] It tur […]
Apparently there is a dress code if you want to fly first class on United Airlines. Even if you are a Best Buy executive. [via citypages] Armando Alvarez, a corporate vice president for Richfield's electronics retail giant, said he upgraded to first class using his miles Oct. 26. He was on a flight from Dulles to Connecticut. When he arrived at the gate […]
Every motorist has misjudged a parking manoeuvre at some point in their lives. Here are 12 car park howlers that might help wash away the embarrassment. 1. Best bit: The moment of deliberation while the driver considers the options. Call the police? Wait for the owner to return? Or, as they ultimately decided, crawl towards the exit and hope no-one else noti […]
Traffic lanes on the I-70, I-75 interchange are now clear of a lot of beer. Earlier a semitruck carrying a load of beer, heading northbound on I-75 to westbound I-70, struck the wall and caused debris to fall on vehicles on I-70 and I-75, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. The ramp, now open, was closed for cleanup. The semitruck driver and two othe […]
Herewith is a modest list of dos and don’ts for servers at the seafood restaurant I am building. Veteran waiters, moonlighting actresses, libertarians and baristas will no doubt protest some or most of what follows. They will claim it homogenizes them or stifles their true nature. And yet, if 100 different actors play Hamlet, hitting all the same marks, reci […]
Way back when I was around the age to start thinking about College I already knew what school I wanted to go to. I always had a desire to go to art school and knew I would end up graduating from one. I have know so many people who were undecided about where they wanted to go and what they wanted to learn to be successful later down the road. Friends of mine […]
Xerox on Tuesday announced a new silver ink (among other things) that it's calling, and apparently is, a breakthrough in printable electronics, a leading edge concept that's generated a lot of discussion but few actual products to date, largely because of the issues that Xerox's new technology addresses. [via pcmag] In concept, printable elect […]
Some bridges are engineered with nothing but utility in mind—for these, aesthetic design is secondary to safety and longevity.

But advances in design software and construction materials have given bridge architects opportunities to focus on original, striking and someti […]
