I Always Wanted to Live In a Stealth Plane
The Klein Bottle House. According to the World Architecture Festival Awards, it's the best home of 2009. F-117 pilots, dorky Tron fanboys, and aliens all through the galaxy would agree. I'm in one of those categories. More » -

Why Steve Jobs Didn't Take Over Apple Back In 1997
Back in 1997, Larry Ellison was on a beach in Hawaii. After sipping his second Margarita that evening, he turned to his pal Steve Jobs, who was listening to Bob Dylan on his Sony Walkman. "Steve...Steve...STEVE! Hey, let's buy Apple." More » -

MetalStorm 3GL Grenade Launcher Should Be Renamed to "You-Gonna-Get-a-Sh*tstorm-of-Metal, Enemy Dude"
This is not the MetalStorm 3GL Grenade Launcher. It's the Milkor MGL/M32, a lightweight 40 mm semi-automatic, 6-shot grenade launcher. It does a lot of bang-bang-my-baby-shot-me-down, but it's no match for the deadly simple, electronically-fired MetalStorm 3GL: More » -

What Do You Think Steve Jobs' "Blood-Curdling" First Name for the iMac Was?
The guy who came up with the name iMac said that Steve Jobs had a terrible first name for it. So bad it would "curdle your blood." However, he didn't say what it was. What could it be? My guess: More » -

iPevo Point 2 View USB: The Webcam Who Thinks It's a Luxo Lamp

Form 2 Sex Toy Looks Like a Stealth Millennium Falcon
The Form 2 sex toy is definitely more conventional than the crazy Sqweel ten-tongue demon. At first I thought it looked like the silhouette of a rabbit's head. Then it clicked: The Millennium Falcon. Chewie, you are one naughty rug. More » -

This Is a Next-Generation iPhone 4 Part, China Ontrade Claims
China Ontrade calls this the iPhone 4 Generation Midboard. Not very exciting, but the last time they announced a next-generation iPhone part, they were right. A month later, the iPhone 3GS appeared with exactly those parts. What could this mean? More » -
