Or, you could just lose weight, fatty.

For people who have trouble with touchscreens or have really fat fingers, we now can say: we have the technology.

Watch a demonstration here of see-through touchscreens with buttons on the back.

(Medical) License to Kill

Everyone has a right to bear arms, but what about the elderly and disabled who might have trouble with a normal firearm?

Never fear! The Palm Pistol is here! All you need is... a prescription?
Indeed, the FDA has classified this GUN as a MEDICAL DEVICE.

This page has some cool pictures.

Beer: It does a body good.

A group of students at Rice University are working on incorporating resveratrol (the component of red wine that gives it its heart healthy qualities) into beer. The chemical is odorless and tasteless, thus not affecting the beverage's taste. They hope to create a beer that mimics wine's anti-aging, heart disease fighting, cancer prevention qualities.

Debate 1- Testicular Fortitude

I'm a little late on this but I just watched the first Obama-McCain debate tonight and I was gonna comment on how Jim Lehrer (sp?) encouraged them to engage each other and McCain didn't even look at Obama. Then I read this week's Newsweek (also behind the times) and come to find out that McCain's advisers urged him not to look at Obama for fear that it might "unnerve him" (McCain). Seriously, this is a nationally televised presidentail debate. Grow some balls?

My Reading List Just Got a Hell of A Lot Bigger

Hooray! Google is reportedly undertaking a massive project to digitize (with search capability... duh, its Google) MILLIONS of old newspaper headlines, articles, and photographs.

The project will begin in the News Archive section of Google (and by using the timeline feature in Google News) but will eventually be integrated into Google.com's main site.

Read CNet's report or at the GoogleBlog itself.

This really tickled me.

OK, so I was on Rolling Stone's website reading about the new Metallica album and checking out the track listing when I noticed this somewhat witty comment:

Lars Ulrich | 9/5/2008, 10:59 pm EST

Lars here. I’m sure you’ll be able to download the whole album for free from one of those awesome peer-to-peer programs. Go ahead, I don’t mind one bit.

As you know Lars (w/ Dr. Dre) was pretty much solely responsible for the demise of Napster.
