In an effort to be creative and fun, this team of looney-bin’s decided to manually change a digital clock made of wood for 24 hours. Sure it looks cool, and I’m sure you’d think it was pretty sweet if you were on the project until 5 minutes into it… Then you’d be like “God I hate my job!”. Okay someone do the math for me please, how many boards did they move in total?

All the rumours that have been floating around the interwebs about Google ‘improving’ their search engine are true! Here’s how you can see the new functionality for yourself too…

1. Click this link [here]. it may not appear to change your page, but this link sets a cookie on your machine that grants you access to the Google Beta.
2. Go to http://www.google.com/ (if redirected to a country specific version of Google you’ll need to click Goto Google.com in the bottom right corner of the webpage). If your browser accepted the cookie, you should be able to see the new version of Google

Unfortunetly the cookie doesn’t let you hit 100% of the functionality yet… or any of the not.com version of Google, like Google.ca or Google.co.uk. It’s still neat to use though.

Thanks to Matt Karolian for the Tip on this one!

Being a loyal blackberry user myself, it’s not often that an iPhone app catches my attention but this one deserves some recognition. The idea is that you hold it up to your face and it speaks for you in a language that you can’t! Simple right? Exactly. The best part is that its a sponsored app, which makes it completely free. For those of you with iPhone/iTouches you can try it out now in the app store… of if you’re not quite sure, check the video above.

How’s that title for ya… say that 10 times without messing up! ha! Gizmodo occasionally does these photography contests, and this week’s results really caught my eye. Check out the full gallery at the link below, but there are some that are really neat. Hit the jump for a description how the non-photoshopped picture above was taken and a few of my favourites from the gallery…

I don’t care if this is the coolest clock that I’ve seen, since I spent $299+$16.95 in shiping on my PONG Clock. I also don’t care that this one recycles the use of old parts for a new purpose and thus saves the envrionment. I don’t even care that if I bought it, I’d be one of a very select group of people that own one. I Refuse to pay more than $315.95 on a clock, especially the hugely overpriced amount of $2338.00!!! You know there are children starving in Africa because this clock exists… douches.

A while back I posted a story about the coolest papercraft model I think I’ve ever seen. Too bad this one isn’t the video about how he made that video… its just a poser creating his own Link papercraft. Worth a watch anyway… good job buddy.

This is a video of a choir who performs a song that should definitely make it’s way into RockBand. Oooooh yeah! Especially if it was this version with beat boxing and hand made rain. I’d pay 200 Microsoft points on that!

How neat is this little contraption? It reportidly runs for $6.95, though I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to order less than 12 of them at a time from their website. >_< Lesson 1 in selling stuff online: Make it stupidly easy to spend my money on your website. The longer it takes me to find the checkout button, the higher the chance that I’m going to realize that it’s stupidly overpriced and totally un-needed. Fix your website people! The toaster is still kinda neat though

Thanks for the newstip Linda.

For nearly a hundred years, people have been trying to make wirelessly powered devices and although there have been plenty of people to make fun of the idea, it seems it has actually become a reality. Above is a 10 minute video of a presentation showcasing the already developed wireless technology. It uses magnetic fields to transfer the power over short distances, and the presenter shows that it can work on anything from a TV to a cellphone. Best part is that he can walk between the transfer coil and the receiver without fear of negative impact.
