Boost Drops the Motorola i335 Off a Building, Runs it Over With a Car for Your Amusement
1:45AM Adam Frucci | The Motorola i335 is coming to Boost Mobile, and it’s a tough little phone. To demonstrate, Boost dropped the thing off a building, ran over it with a car and gave it to a bunch of idiotic klutzes who tried to talk on the phone while skateboarding and other such activities. So if you’re the kind of person who just can’t manage to hold onto things without dropping them, this is the phone for you. If you have decent control over your body, perhaps other features will be more important to you. Different strokes for different folks, right? The i335 is available now for US$60 from Boost. Hit the jump for the full press release. More »

Japan’s Cyber Gadget Game Suppli Vitamin Supplements Are Taken Orally, Not Injected Buttockally
8:45AM Jason Chen | These Japanese Game Suppli vitamins come in two varieties, “Blue Berry”, which refreshes you after a gaming session, and DHA, which boosts your attention during a session. It’s not quite as crazy as eyedrops, which incapacitated Matt for a good ten minutes. There’s only one other nation, Korea, that could combine the dubious gaming benefit of vitamins with the seriousness of professional gaming. And since these are for Japanese gamers, who don’t really play twitch shooters all that much, we can only guess that they use it for one reason only: to keep the convoluted storylines of Final Fantasy XII and Metal Gear Solid straight.
