Justin Timberlake’s New Fragrance: Eau De iPod
5:30AM Dan Nosowitz | Justin Timberlake’s “Play” cologne (rhymes with “alone,” remember) for Givenchy tries to emulate handheld gadgets with Play/Rewind/Forward touch buttons, but it’s all a trick. You can never rewind to that less-smelly, less-desperate time before you bought this stuff. More »

Beautification Engine Turns Cultural Bias Into Pretty Pictures
9:30AM Wilson Rothman | Beauty is in the eye of the beholder—68 different beholders in the case of Tommer Leyvand’s new “beautification engine.” The software, featured in a story in the New York Times, takes preferences from a poll of 68 men and women from Israel and Germany who looked at pictures and chose the most beautiful subjects. Measuring common traits like smaller eyes, rounder chins and higher foreheads, it applies those rules of attractiveness, Photoshop-style, to images of other faces. If need be, it can do a full-on virtual nip-tuck-and-slice yet in some cases, the beautification engine won’t change a thing. More »

Get Your Directions From an Old, Washed Up Character from a Terrible Show
9:00AM Adam Frucci | While I understand why people would want their GPS navigators to give them directions in the voice of KITT or Mr. T, I have no idea who in their right mind would want Kim Cattrall (the old one) from Sex in the City telling them where to go whenever they drive.

Anything goes” or “Don’t touch my Manolos” at random times for added irritation. Why, oh god can anyone tell me why? Hit the jump for the full release, if you must. More »
