Well it’s pretty safe here in the future – December 22nd; but don’t think we didn’t about bringing you live updates of this cataclysmic event!

Oh Japan: Fat-blocking Pepsi headed to Japan

Like Pepsi? Hate fat? Well for 150Yen (and a trip to Japan) you can pick up Pepsi that promises to block fat AND “lower bad cholesterol.” Yeah, we can’t make that stuff up.

Fiat powers up, announces 2013 Fiat 500 Turbo

Let’s be honest, the US auto market is typically the bigger the better but every now and again there comes a compact car that at least makes us consider what it would be like trading a V6 to something a bit smaller. The recently announced Fiat 500 Turbo may very well be one of those cars. The Turbo, part of Fiat’s Cinquecento lineup, sounds like … Continue reading Fiat powers up, announces 2013 Fiat 500 Turbo

Lego offers job to terminated lifeguard

If you listened to last week’s episode of the podcast (and if you haven’t shame on you), you’ll recall our WTF story about the lifeguard that was fired for saving someone from drowning.

Well, we have a small follow-up story to that BS. … Continue reading Lego offers job to terminated lifeguard

Sweet Victory for The Oatmeal

After a very public and embarrassing – for FunnyJunk and their lawyer Charles Carreon at least – legal dispute, The Oatmeal (nee Matthew Inman) not only made good on his promise to raise $20K for a cancer charity and a wildlife charity, and send a photo of it; he exceeded his original goal ten-fold! Even better for you and I, he’s uploaded pictures reminding us … Continue reading Sweet Victory for The Oatmeal

Retina MacBook Pro too hot for your lap

Computers run hot. The more computing power they’re capable of, the hotter they get. Combined with very little space to push that heat out and things can get too hot to handle. Given that bit of common sense, it’s no surprise that Apple’s latest work stallion can get quite hot. According to a French-language site (via Macgasm), the picture at left was taken using a thermal imaging … Continue reading Retina MacBook Pro too hot for your lap

Kid Icarus Multiplayer Battle Day is coming

In late March, Nintendo released Kid Icarus for the 3DS – a full 25 years after it initially hit the NES console. The latest offering gave gamers a chance of saving the world from the evil goddess Medusa and her un-dead minions; it was nostalgic enough to bring us old-school gamers back but built to introduce an new generation to Pit. One of the most … Continue reading Kid Icarus Multiplayer Battle Day is coming

Turtle Power!

With the recent news that a certain Michael Bay will be putting his own stamp on Turtle lore, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the most recent movie. Back in 2007, there came a new movie in the Turtle franchise, following 1993’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II (They go back in time; it wasn’t pretty).  The catch here is that … Continue reading Turtle Power!
