These stories are always fun.  The top ten list of the coolest toilets that we’ve always wanted!

Carbon fiber is one of the greatest and most expensive materials on earth, due to its superior strength and weight properties. What better way to make full use of its properties then by making a stationary toilet out of [...]

This is pretty neat. It is a radio that doesn’t even need a true crystal. It is such an old design, and does work.

The trouble with such a simple receiver (no variable capacitor) is that there is little selectivity and the listener is bombarded by 2 or more stations at once – a [...]

Gizmodo seems to think that the Sony Mylo is the greatest thing sinced sliced bread. I say, “Hold on, wait up, I bet it’s all proprietary crap”.
It actually isn’t too bad. It will work with Google Talk, and Yahoo messenger, and they say it works with iTunes. It does use my favorite [...]

I like the looks of the Logitech Wireless DJ Music System. It is very sleek looking. How it works is a much better question. I usually question the ease of use of a product from a computer accessory maker.

The Wireless DJ Music System connects the PC to a home-entertainment center or speaker [...]

There is no expected release date at this time.

Speaking about the plan for the gadget, the BBC spokesman said the broadcaster was carrying [...]

This is a little disturbing, but well known that this would happen. The interesting thing from this article is that if the Greenland ice sheet were to completely melt, sea levels would rise by 21 feet (6.5 meters).
The melting is three times faster than expected from previous data.
One thing that was gleaned from this [...]

There isn’t too much information on this but this is what I have so far:

An Ariane-5 rocket blasted off from French Guiana on Friday, putting into orbit a Japanese civilian communications satellite and a French military communications satellite, officials said.
I wonder what the total count of operating satellites that are orbiting earth is at? [...]

This will be fun if you have clear skies, and a dark moon:

Perseids are fast meteors and they tend to be bright. If a viewer is lucky, an occasional fireball can be seen during a Perseid meteor shower.
Perseid meteors will appear to “rain” into the atmosphere, and while all the viewer has to do is [...]

The high-definition DVD battle is panning out just as one would expect. There just isn’t enough of a difference between the standard DVD format and the HD-DVD or Blu-Ray formats. The formats are confusing consumers, and this is a major sin when it comes to electronics looking to go mainstream.
