Someone decided to make some sort of console funeral diorama for their fallen xbox 360. It was so young! Seeing all of these older consoles attending the funeral really makes you think about the lifespan of the xbox 360.. I know mine died. Fortunately, Microsoft repairs first gen red ring xboxes for free. You just have to suffer a few weeks without yours while it is sent off for major surgery. I think I even got back the same unit that I sent out.

There’s a new nanotech kid on the block… it repels water like nothing else and reduces friction underwater by %20. whatever will we do with it? Make an awesome watercraft? Or just try to use it to beat Micheal Phelps.

The fabric is constructed of polyester fibers that are covered in a layer of 40-nanometer-wide silicone nanofilaments. These nanofilaments are spiky and cause water to sit in a sphere above the fabric, a permanent pocket of air protected safely below.

Nobody likes flat soda. Except for your weird cousin Alfred who is also a fan of soggy cereal and furbies. That’s why I know he didn’t invent this soda dispenser, because it keeps your soda crispy with carbonation while allowing you to dispense it from your fridge.

This reminds me of a Pollock joke. Solar flash light- check. Screen door on a submarine- check. A router that is a vase- check. Clearly, it’s a modern twist on a classic stereotype. Yes I went there. To Poland, I mean. They’re actually really good at math. No wonder they get pissed when you tell them Pollock jokes. At least, that’s what I hear.

One day, robots will attempt to take over the world. Look no further than this video of a robot playing Guitar Hero as evidence. Today, it’s video games, tomorrow it will be machine guns. Okay, the army already has machine gun wielding robots. Also, I’m not sure why robots would need guns in the first place, since they could easily crush your skull, but the idea of gun toting robots just sounds cool, and hey, maybe they don’t want to have to chase you?

what do you do with a dead Wii? Return it for a refund? Try to get it repaired? Bah, we’ll just throw the guts of an old N64 into it and sell it on ebay.
