ASCII maps converts Google's maps into matrix style ASCII art. What's really weird is the fact that I can see my street amongst all the noise. Maybe the matrix has me.

This nifty dock lets you charge your PSP, iPod and SonyEricsson phone. Each one has S-Video and Composite out and comes with a HiFi receiver so you can stream your music wirelessly. For $149.99, it sounds like a damn good deal.

It's interesting to see that a link to download a patch on Microsoft's site links to https://thesource.ofallevil.com/. Microsoft.com and thesource.ofallevil.com resolve to the same IP, and there's even a certificate. 
BitTech have some nice pics of a custom built PC case that's looks sort of like a bomb. Not only does it look nifty, but it also has a decent spec aswell, including water cooling.
These posters make absolutely no sense to me (yet), but they'd still make nice decorations.

The man cannon is design to hurl SWAT team members and other emergency personnel onto otherwise inaccessible rooftops. It consists of a forward-facing chair mounted on rails that point at an angle of up to 80°. Powered by compressed air, the “payload” would shoot up until the saddle reaches the end of the rails, at which point he would flail free skyward.
Seems like a great idea, but what if the SWAT guy has an extra clip in his pocket that shifts his weight…

Supposed to be released this week, the Optimus Mini keyboard has been delayed until 15th August. Improvements are apparently being made, including increasing the button lifetime to 100,000 presses and the OLED lifespan to 8,000 hours. They’ve also bumped up the price to by $40 to $160, which for three buttons that would last less than a year in constant use, seems pretty expensive to me.
Some guy's taken pics of a 15000W Tesla coil and put them on flickr.
With Philips Bodygroom. It might be a joke or just another marketing gimmick, I'm not sure. Either way, what were they thinking!
