So Bad Its Good: Bacon Soda Sells In Package Of Six

Posted: 07 Jan 2012 10:09 AM PST

For some reason this reminded the writer of the Queen album ‘Sheer Heart Attack’ from way back when. Though the gist of this post is humorous, Bacon Soda is no spoof—it’s as real as cardiac arrest. Promoted as ‘a mad marriage between soda and bacon,’ Bacon Soda is currently available in an affordable six pack for $24.95 but can be discounted to $19.95.

South Korean School Showcases Its Robots (Video)

Posted: 07 Jan 2012 09:56 AM PST

Fine, so South Korea may be second fiddle to Japan’s overall devotion to mecha-kind. That doesn’t mean South Korean conglomerates, universities, and technology startups don’t make great strides on their own. For the past several years now, a tech university has hosted a robotics festival to showcase the work of its students.

US Army Trademarked Gaming Guns And Gear Now On Sale

(Except for General Shepard though, that guy rightly deserved to be wetworked by Soap and Price.)

Amritsar is one of the most fascinating cities cities in the subcontinent.

So Soon! Lockheed-Martin Teases Sexy 2030 Fighter Concept

Posted: 07 Jan 2012 07:24 AM PST

So to clarify: At the beginning of the year Lockheed-Martin distributed copies of its 2012 calendar to media friends. The accompanying eye-candy included the aircraft seen below. It’s not quite an F22, definitely not an F35…in fact, it’s a whole new beast. But hold on, because it isn't taking to the skies until 2030. That’s just 18 years from now. A lot can happen in 18 years.
