This Is Why You Should Never Share Your Twitter Password
This past Friday, I mentioned that I was trying to get the new Twitter web client. My colleague and noted internet deviant Mat Honan graciously offered to pop in the workaround for me if I’d send him my password. I was in a rush to get to a meeting, so unaccountably, I agreed. Big mistake.
The CDC’s Official Zombie Gadget Bag

PS3 Guitar Hero Drums Aren’t Working in Rock Band
Since Guitar Hero: World Tour features a full set of instruments that are nearly identical to Rock Band’s, Activision decided that it was time to take the high road and make their PS3 hardware completely compatible with their competition.

USB Presidential Polygraph Lets You Say ‘Thanks But No Thanks’ to Liars
The Presidential Polygraph is a USB lie detector that will let you quickly and easily determine whether or not someone is telling the truth. For a mere $US50, it comes with all the stuff you’ll need to determine whether or not your brother-in-law really loves your sister: a pulse oximeter finger clip, skin galvanisation finger wraps, a “breathing apparatus,” and the necessary software. And, because no one lies better than politicians, it comes complete with creepy likenesses of the 2008 presidential candidates. If only you could hook it up to the TV for tonight’s debate! It would probably overload and set your computer on fire. [Presidential Polygraph]
