Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs have created a controller for Warcraft III which uses a projector and a touch screen to control the game. Very Star-Trekky, but damn cool

5ThirtyOne have posted a few articles showing how to modify your Myspace profile to get rid of all the crap. If I actually had a Myspace page, I'd definitely use this.
Part One: Covers how to clean canvas to work with.
Part Two: How to add navigation back into your profile.
Part Three: Hide the comments from view and keep a nice comment box for others to use.
Part Four: Use background-color, not background-image
There's also an All in one version if you don't want to follow the steps individually.

I found a 30 second trailer for the Simpsons Movie, due out in Summer 2007. I can't imagine it would be anything other than great, but I'm sort of wondering what they're going to fill a 90 minute film with.

The “Brief Safe” is an innovative diversion safe that can secure your cash, documents, and other small valuables from inquisitive eyes and thieving hands, both at home and when you're traveling. Items can be hidden right under their noses with these specially-designed briefs which contain a fly-accessed 4″ x 10″ secret compartment with Velcro closure and “special markings” on the lower rear portion. Leave the “Brief Safe” in plain view in your laundry basket or washing machine at home, or in your suitcase in a hotel room
Nice idea, who'd want to rumage through a shitty pair of underpants.

This new system, developed by Iran uses radar to track incoming projectiles, then uses a 'secret countermeasure' to detonate the head on the RPG/missile before it hits, meaning the only damage is done by the weight of the missile hitting. It's not exactly a forcefield, but from the video it looks pretty similar.

The Mozilla foundation have closed the Firefox Flicks competition because some of the entries were apparently being spread in a ‘viral’ manner. The site was a place where anyone could create and upload a firefox commercial. The best one was supposed to be chosen by Mozilla to run on TV.

Google have released a web-based calendar similar to 30boxes. It allows users to build a calendar and make events visible to certain people. You can also import your events from Outlook or other sites which use open calendar formats. Like everything else at Google, it’s a beta, but it looks promising. I’m struggling to find motiviation to carry on with iZeit.

A UK version of the Body Worlds exhibit is to open in the UK. The show proved popular in the US, claiming to show the general public what is normally reserved for doctors and medical professionals. Bodies are preserved using acetone to replace body fluids.
The sources of the bodies have been questioned in the past, and two had to be sent back because bullet holes were found in the back of their head. They were thought to be chinese prisoners who hadn't given their consent. Under chinese law however, it's perfectly legal to use the bodies of executed prisoners for medical research.
