Microsoft: Get Free Swag In Exchange For Internet Explorer 9 Usage

Posted: 13 Nov 2011 11:29 AM PST

The surprising part is how much free swag Microsoft is dangling in front of users. Okay, so Internet Explorer isn’t exactly the sexiest browser out there. Some would even argue it never was, but hold on. Microsoft is pretty hot on Internet Explorer 9 and to entice its use, why, Microsoft is going all out. Tickets, subscriptions, etcetera etcetera. More juicy details after the jump.

Sportiiis Projects An HUD Onto Your Sunglasses

Posted: 13 Nov 2011 11:18 AM PST

That’s no typo. It’s really spelled Sportiiis. Yup, with a lot of iiiiiisss. But hold on, because this is one impressive gadget. Too bad it can't be sued for gaming. See, the health uber-conscious part of the population has a tendency to sport cool eyewear. What the Sportiiis does is use a series of LED bulbs to inform the wearer of health stats. Neat, huh?

US Army To Deploy Paintball Projectiles For Bomb Deterrence

Posted: 13 Nov 2011 11:04 AM PST

The awful truth is after years of campaigning in two different theaters, the US Army and other branches are still grappling with roadside bombs. You might have learned about them through their other, more pedantic, moniker IED. The problem with roadside bombs is, well, they can't be beat. Heavily armored vehicles can’t survive, even tanks can’t. So the best way is to detect where they are right away.

First Gen iPod Nano Recalled Globally

Posted: 13 Nov 2011 10:52 AM PST

Listen up iPod Nano owners, here’s the score. Apple issued a bad batch of first generation Nano’s in late 2005. Now, after so many years, they’ve realized how bad it actually is. Or should it be was? Grammar is confounding! Anyway, in a gesture of corporate responsibility a global recall is now ongoing. The problem is the stricken batch could be harboring batteries that go up in flames.

Party Hub Blacktop 360 Fryer Cooks Pretty Much Anything

Posted: 13 Nov 2011 10:46 AM PST

For some bizarre reason, cooking appliances have the bad habit of making it on this site. It’s cool though, since as of late, so many cooking appliances have arrived armed with really neat features. Guilty of the same is the Blacktop 360, a novel saucer shaped four-legged frying and deep frying marvel. It’s actually the Blacktop 360 HFI Premium Party Hub Grill. That’s too long, so let it stick at Blacktop 360.

Suzuki Outs Colorful Compact Car Concept For Hipsters

Posted: 13 Nov 2011 10:33 AM PST

Okay, so maybe consigning it to the hipster crowd is a little cruel. Can’t be helped though, just look at those colors! Also, it’s a compact car! Exclamation points aside, Suzuki seem proud enough to tout their latest non-creation to the press. See, the way the trend is going now, every major automaker is preparing to unleash small compact cars to flood city streets. Better kiss that guzzling SUV goodbye then.

Oops! Russian Mars Probe Caught In Epic Fail

Posted: 13 Nov 2011 10:22 AM PST

The bad part is the epic failure transpired in low orbit. To think everything went down (or should it be up) smoothly on Wednesday when a rocket lifted off at Baikonur. The problem is the moment the probe was supposed to enter its designated orbit on its long Martian journey, well, zip. Nada. Turns out the boosters wouldn’t activate.

This Candle Holder Is Supposed To Be A Major Innovation

Posted: 13 Nov 2011 09:50 AM PST

Sadly, this particular candle holder doesn’t light on its own. Nope, that’s not what the title of this post implied. Hold on though, because it is a game changer in its own small way. If you haven’t noticed yet, then by all means hit the jump and finish reading this post.

Robot Polar Bear Pillow Soothes Obnoxious Snorers (Video)

Posted: 13 Nov 2011 09:43 AM PST

Only the Japanese are ingenious enough to wrap a really smart gadget inside a cute polar bear. It’s called Jukusui-kun, which means deep sleeper. What it does is adjust a person’s sleeping position to keep them from snoring. The magic is one of its paws moves to the sleeper’s head and tickles it. Sort of annoying, but apparently it works. Just check out the video after the jump.

This Aluminum Survival Rifle Converts To A Fishing Rod

Posted: 13 Nov 2011 05:55 AM PST

Aluminum AND carbon fiber. Survival rifles aren’t really that exciting anymore. Often found in emergency kits for downed airmen who might be trapped in the hostile outdoors; the compact weapons are designed with ultimate simplicity in mind. No surprise then that the latest from Mountain View Machine & Welding, the Pack Rifle, barely manages a handful of parts. Even better, it’s convertible.
