Error or scam, Amazon has pulled the page with the 52-inch US$38.45 Sharp Aquos, probably overwhelmed by the orders from crazy Giz readers dreaming about a glorious, gigantic HDTV in their living rooms and/or toilets. Reader Max called Amazon to check on his order and they told him there was something weird going on:
It looks like something went really wrong at the Lego factory because, when Jenny at The Bloggess opened her 30th Anniversary minifig celebration pack, she got a whole bunch of transvestite minifigs. "I think Eddie Izzard in drag is 10 times hotter than Brad Pitt covered in nougat, but this is just bizarre," Jenny says. And I agree. Seeing all those moustaches and cleavages up close is kind of disturbing:
Right now, one of the stores at Amazon.com--myOfficeSource--is selling a 52-inch Sharp Aquos 1080P HDTV for US$38.45 (thirty-eight dollars and forty-five cents). That's US$2,261.54 off its list price. New, not refurbished. Obviously, something wrong--or fishy--must be happening because, right now, you can buy a bunch of products with this discount. Giz reader Cliff, who gave us the heads up, actually bought the 52-inch Aquos and got a confirmation email from Amazon in which they say his order will arrive in mid-september. Update: One reader is giving a word of caution, so proceed with caution because this may be an scam.
The Eclipse 400 looks is one of those aeroplanes that you can only imagine in movies or comicbooks. But this is not the Avenger's Quinjet, it is very real, as the video shows. Right now it's being perfected and will be delivered to Tony Starks wannabes in just three years. Its four-seat interior looks more like an expensive sports car than a plane, and it has me saying "want":

If you think that the final mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope is going to be boring, you haven't seen this video yet. Not only the astronauts will be risking their lives as usual at 590km above the Earth, but the sheer amount and the difficulty of the tasks--from repairing components to replacing them to installing new gadgets--makes the mission an almost-impossible one, with soundtrack to match. I never imagined this was going to be such an ambitious and daunting work.
Who else would spend US$25 in a Hello Kitty Action DJ Speaker--which moves pretending she's a DJ at the rhythm of the music played in your digital audio player--but a twisted disco pussy lover with probably too much Jack Daniel's running through his veins and listening to ABBA right now?
If you are sucker for all things 8-bit and all things NES--like I am--you will love these three-dimensional renderings of classic Nintendo Entertainment System games by Justin Buonvino. So much that you will put them on your desktop background, just like a did one minute ago.
Dean Takahashi, one of the most respected tech journos around, spent years putting together this mind-blowing expose that reveals the truly epic scale of the problems that lead to millions of dead Xbox 360s. It really is one of the most stunning flustercucks in gaming history. According to his account, Microsoft willfully ignored deep, systemic problems in the console's production that reached from chipmakers—initially, only 16 out of every 100 of its IBM-made processors worked—to production lines, where just before launch, an unbelievable 68 percent of consoles made were clunkers.
Yesterday we said that the leaked iPod nano shot looked real to us. After all, Apple seems to be going through its curved surfaces and tapered edges period. This new shot of this old-green-lime coloured one however is a completely different beast.
At last. Female sex pros and male overachievers rejoice--as the rest of us scratch our heads and look somewhere else while the level indicator on this US$28 condom dispenser keeps going down at the same rate of our hand cream dispenser. [Uncommon Goods via Random Good Stuff]
Tomorrow night at 10PM, Food Network kicks off Alton Brown's latest TV show, Feasting on Waves, where the Mensa-smart kitchen geek and his crew hop into two 50-foot catamarans and sail around 15 different Caribbean islands in search of quality cuisine, shooting and editing the hi-def episodes right there on the boats. It turns out, despite his disdain for specialised kitchen gadgets, Brown depended on regular high-end tech to make a cooking show on a boat happen.
