Sky 3D Hits October 1st


The Sky 3D channel has so far been officially available only in 1,500 or so UK pubs, but now its residential launch for all Sky+HD customers is slated for October 1. The 2010 Ryder Cup will serve as a launch event with three days of live coverage from Celtic Manor as the US and European teams do battle; the first ever in 3D, but the third such event it’s covered in high definition. Golf fans won’t be the only ones catered to, Premier League football will be returning once the season starts and today’s announcement coincided with a SkyArts 3D filming arranged by the English National Ballet. Hollywood’s major studios have already agreed to provide 3D movies including Bolt, Monsters vs. Aliens, Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince and more, while Sky has commissioned its own original 3D flick, Flying Monsters presented by Sir David Attenborough. Not quite ready for the 3D revolution? Feel free to put that on the backburner — at least until the 2012 London Olympics — as the network is also adding content from HBO, a large slate of new comedies, Anytime+ VOD, and a Sky Mobile TV iPad app. With an HD channel count of 43 and plans to reach 50 by year-end, there should be a little something there for everyone to enjoy.

The Kitchen Of The Future

Moshi is a multipurpose kitchenette that includes the induction cooking hub, dish washer, sink, fridge and washing machine in one structure. The entire gamut of appliances is controlled via an interactive touchscreen pad. Designed for apartments that lack space and yet want to host all the comforts of a luxury home, the Moshi targets the young and the restless! From time-marking groceries to recipe cards, and ingredient status of the fridge-contents, all can be controlled and accessed via the pad. So typically for the gadget-savvy!

Panasonics 3D Camera


Along with the other announcement Panasonic made today, they also told us about a new lens for their LUMIX G camera. You’ll remember that the LUMIX G is their micro 4/3 line, of which we reviewed the G10 back in May. The new lens is first to give the ability to take a 3D image using a camera with only one CCD, by using a stereo optical system in the barrel of the lens. Details are sparse, but keep in mind that splitting the image and using smaller lenses will really limit the amount of light coming in. We expect the lens to be available before the end of the year, but that’s about all we know. Also keep in mind that you’ll have to have a 3D display to view the images. You can read the full press release after the jump, if you are interested.

Apples Brand New 30inch Cinematic Display

Now that Apple’s unleashing a 27-inch Cinema Display in September, what’s to become of its 24-inch and 30-inch bookend brethren? Straight from the mouths of Apple execs and disseminated by way of Macworld’s Jason Snell — a man who would most definitely be in the know — the dynamic duo is being discontinued. End of the line is when supplies run out, so better place your orders now if you aren’t hip to monitors with diagonal lengths divisible by 9.

The Robotic Butterfly Pet


Most robot pets may not be easily mistaken for the real thing, but that’s not likely to be the case with the ChouChou Electric Butterfly, which might even have a few people reaching to free it from its jar. Unfortunately, it’s the jar that keeps the butterfly “alive” — it has some AA batteries in its lid that apparently allow the butterfly to respond to vibrations and flutter about. That may not sound like much, but the effect is pretty striking — see for yourself after the break. Of course, just because it’s simple doesn’t mean its cheap. You’ll have to shell out a hefty $76 to bring this one home

WTF?? Woman Steals Chicken And Hides It In Her…

Russia… what a place man…

Voina DIY Handbook.
Section 1. How to snatch chicken.
The tale of how one cunt fed the whole of the group Voina.
Activist of the group Voina named Vacuous Cunt With Inconceivably Huge Tits steals a chicken from a supermarket by hiding it in her vagina.
At the same time The Voina Activists assisted Cunt, showing the CCTV cameras and security guards their motto. FUCK WHORING YOURSELF! declared the Voina motto.

The Apple Magic Trackpad


So it’s real, and… it’s a trackpad. What seemed like it might have been pure rumor and some good Photoshopping just a short while ago has magically (ha ha!) transformed into reality. If you’re wondering what the Magic Trackpad is like to use — get ready for a shock. It feels just like using a slightly larger version of a MacBook or MacBook Pro pad. And we mean exactly, right down to the multitouch gestures and whole-pad click. Yes, it clicks. There’s also a new gesture, if you’re keeping track — a three-finger move that lets you drag windows around (very helpful), though you give up the functionality of being to navigate stuff like iPhoto galleries with a swipe. Not a huge loss, really. We’re going to be doing some serious testing with the new peripheral, but for now, feast your eyes on the pics below.

The Sunday Refix: Random Impulse X B.O.B – Airplanes

again this refix is pretty short, due to the amount of time making the music, but i really put heart into the words and o the playing of the lead guitar, so it may not be long, but its meaningful. well, to me anyway lol


I wont play it cool, this song was a NIGHTMARE to remake. replaying the guitar melodys were okay, but the drums…ugh, it makes me tired just thinking about how nuts they were to mix.

Super cool flashy light box thing!


bring a little more light to your desktop and give you something to stare at when the lights are out? This LED art cube might be what you’ve been looking for, as it sports 64 LEDs inside it, arranged in a 4x4x4 grid, and offers a variety of pre-programmed patterns that will help get things started. Of course, $100 does seem like quite a bit of money to pay for a bunch of lights to decorate your desktop, but you have to admit that it does look cool, and would be an interesting talking point for folks who drop by your home.
