Want to see $1.5 million worth of gadget banged up badly? Movie producer Daniel Sadek wasn’t laughing any more when comedian Eddie Griffin planted the producer’s one-in-400 Ferrari Enzo into the wall while trying to drive the street-legal race car around a few cones at a promotional event.
The comedian was unhurt, but maybe next time he takes the wheel of such an expensive and rare machine, he’ll be driving it around in a padded cell.
After a day of hard working, you probably want to sit down and relax. The nice folks over at Pronet Advertising created a game just for that.
Search Engine Smackdown is a playable web game that you can choose between the Google founders (Larry & Sergey), Yahoo founders (Jerry & David), and Microsoft founders (Bill & Paul) to wrestle each other in a wrestling ring with Danny Sullivan from Search Engine Land as the judge.
Look at me right there!
err, you don’t really get to relax, you still have to think – a lot. Fun game though.
As much as I’d like to see Sony come out with a killer Walkman, it ain’t happening any time soon. Sure, the A800 plays video and lets you create playlists on the fly, but it doesn’t have any features that make you wanna rush out and buy it. To me, it’s just another fish in the sea. Check out the video for yourself.
This is a nice car, no doubt about it. But the argument that the vehicle took $8 million to develop and is thereby worth said amount would merit a Ford Taurus sticker price of $1 billion. You heard it here first: if you are a true billionaire, you drive a recently discontinued Ford Taurus. Anyone else is just a poser. For $8 million, I need a faster 0-60, an ejection seat, and for my car to speak all sarcastically like KITT. What about you?
Ok, so it’s not exactly a brand new Micro PC, but an upcoming issue of the UK edition of Stuff reveals that Sony is rolling out a new version of the Vaio UX for the European market. Dubbed the VGN-UX1XN, this new model runs Vista and has a 1.3GHz Intel Core Solo U1500 processor, a 4.5-inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, 1GB of RAM, a 32GB solid state disk, a Bluetooth 2.0, 802.11g, USB 2.0, Firewire, and CompactFlash and Memory Stick Duo memory card slots. No word on wide-area-networking capabilities, but price is listed as an intimidating £2,000.
Do you remember the year 1983, when Return of the Jedi was in theaters, The Police were still together, and Travis was still inside his parents’ genitalia? Well Gearlog does, because they got their hands on an original 1983 Microsoft Mouse.
The green buttoned mouse was bundled with Microsoft Word, and came with the Life game, Notepad, and a musical tutorial teaching then-noobs how to use a mouse. Look how far they’ve come since then! Now Microsoft mice sport lasers, charging stations, multiple buttons, Bluetooth, and a scroll wheel.
