I am addicted to ice cream, there I said it. Sometimes our freezers temperature fluctuates and scooping the ice cream out of the tub is almost impossible with a standard spoon. I have already bent several spoons instead of waiting for the ice cream to warm up a bit. …
OK, apologies to all the cyber tech pervs, this is just an article about two Wi-Fi “surveillance” bots – Spykee and Rovio. Spykee is made by Erector (giggidy) and Rovio by WowWee (wtf?). Both of these massively overpriced toys arrived just in time for our economic boom to fill the…
Neat test clip, showing what happens when a large bird makes it into an airplanes jet engine. Long story short… the engine (and bird) don’t do so good. Watch the video after the break.
Amazon has already sold over 500,000 versions of the Kindle e-book reader. The Kindle 2 is the same thing… but with a bunch of improvements. The Amazon Kindle 2 weights only 10.2-ounces, has a larger screen, includes built in 3G wireless (no extra charges, nice), and the battery life still…

The entry-level 2010 Ford Fusion is powered by a brand new 2.5-litre Duratec four-cylinder matched to a fuel-efficient six-speed automatic transmission. It should sell for about $22,000 and is due in the spring. Will I finally be able to buy American again? I haven’t had an American car since high…
