Zachary Moir, 19 (though mentally about 7 and 3 months), was arrested under charges of assaulting his mother— with a taco—because she unplugged his Xbox when he wouldn’t come downstairs for dinner.
Congressman Eric Massa of NY tried to drive a fuel cell car from NY to DC to make an environmental point and to show how great fuel cell cars are. He failed at both.
We’ve certainly seen our fair share of insane, overpriced equipment aimed at overmonied audiophiles (usually from Furutech), but this is a new one to me. The Audio Desk Systeme from Germany takes your CD, spins it at a super-high speed, and uses a blade to cut it down to a more perfect circle. Apparently, this prevents very slight wobbling as it spins, which can create a jitter in the digital stream that affects the sound, according to idiots. It’s a mere $US900, which, in these circles, is a total bargain. [Ultra System via Dvice]
There are two things that this Friday seems to be missing here on Giz. The first one is beer. The second is a healthy dose of rage. I’m hoping that the first one naturally turns into the second, although after watching the video above, I’m actually thinking that it might work the other way around.
You see, Logan over at Kotaku got pointed in the direction of this clips from ABC program Q&A. It’s a fairly new show that lets people in the audience ask questions of politicians and their kind about topical current events.
As you can see from the video, the topic in question here is the need for an R18+ rating for games in Australia. What spews forth from the politicians’ mouths is something many would find more offensive than any super-violent game – total ignorance. This wouldn’t be so bad if they admitted they weren’t in a position to make any kind of judgment, but instead most of them used it as an opportunity to propagate their own beliefs and opinions without a passing consideration for the facts.
This, my friends, is absolutely shocking. That guy who made himself the laughing stock of the entire internet by getting himself tattooed up with not one, not two, but three Zune logos, has decided to cover up the tattoos. It’s not out of shame, however. We’ve known for a while now that this Adonis has no shame. The reason is much, much better.
News flash, guys: a 32-inch Digital Photo Frame is actually a really crappy HDTV with all the tuners and inputs pulled out of it. It is not a photo frame. Selling it as such is a way to use the products weaknesses as its selling point and to remove money from the wallets of the rich and stupid. Seriously, this thing costs more than many fully-functional HDTVs of the same size. Urge to kill… rising…
This is a tanning bed for cats and dogs. Also, it is a sign of the apocalypse and/or the downfall of the American empire. Because really, when you’re tanning your pets, you don’t deserve to have any influence over the rest of the world. You’re officially an idiot.
You’ve gotta love natural selection caught on video. Intelligent people know that it isn’t a good idea to smash a can of WD-40, even if they’re curious about what would happen if they did. Luckily, some mouthbreathers decided that they’d give it a whirl, showing us exactly why we’re so smart to not have done such a thing. Thanks, idiots! [Spulch]
