Cool:: "Gadgets for the Lazy"
I particularly like motorized Ice cream turner, and the DiscPod which dispenses a CD at the press of a button, and saves you from the arduous task of clumsily extracting a CD from a CD stack.

Interesting:: "How Laura Croft Steals Hearts"
Is the only reason people play Tomb Raider for the hot looking hundred-thousand polygon model of Laura Croft? or is there psychologically more to it than just the ogling of the visuals?
http://www.wired.com/news/columns/0,70712-0.html?tw=rss.index; "Next step in Pirating: Faking a company"
When making counterfit goods is just not good enough, counterfit the company... say NEC. Counterfit most of their products, do R&D and create new NEC 'branded' products, carry out warranty claims, and sell their products next to 'real' NEC products.

Fun:: "C for Cookie"
A spoof on the V for Vandetta trailer that occurs in an alternate Sesame Street world where the consumption of cookies is controlled by the government... Elmo scared...
