Safe Talk is a new service in the UK that allows you to generate a temporary phone number to use for 7 days to give to people you don't trust/know.
It's simple – text CALL to 80876 and get a temporary number that diverts to your mobile phone for 7 days, and keep your own number safe – until you know if they're nuts or not!
Each number costs £1.50, and you can choose to either extend your usage of the number after seven days or cancel it.

Google Trends, the latest offering from Google labs, lets you see what the rest of the world is searching for. If you enter a word (tits for example), you’ll see that the most number of searches containing that word are from Manchester, Birmingham and Brentford, all in the UK 
The results are pretty suprising if you search for Sex. The places in the world where women are used as slaves get the most hits…

This guy's actually pretty good. Makes me wonder whether there's someone walking around somewhere with my face, voice and weird sense of humour.

Researchers at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas, US, are working on a new non-lethal weapon that could quite literally bring them to their knees by sliming them.
The institute has developed a super-slimy substance. When fired at an unruly mob it causes rioters to simply slip over.
Riot police or troops would wear a back pack with three cylinders, one containing compressed air, another filled with plain water and a third containing a supply of very dry, finely ground, polyacrylamide powder. A nozzle, resembling a shower head, would blasts two separate jets, containing the water and the polymer powder, in the general direction of an ugly crowd.
As the two jets mix in the air, after clearing the nozzle, they create a slimy mixture that covers the ground and causes everyone in the area to fall down. Even vehicles should be unable to get a grip on the goo, the patent says. And because the gel is non-toxic, it should cause no permanent harm, besides a few bruised bottoms, that is.

I’d get one, but the shipping to England would probably cost twice as much.

Mozmonkey has made a keyboard which sings when you press the caps lock key. It's one of the least used keys, and it controls an LED which can be easily modded to control a speaker instead.
The second victim found it sometime after lunch. I wandered by, acting as innocent as I could, and suggesting "Try turning your sound off" then asking "Did you install anything today? Could it be a virus?" She started getting a bit concerned and I couldn't hold a straight face any longer and ended up giving away my guilt.
The last guy never uses caps, so after waiting 2 weeks for it to happen I coerced him to press the key. He did and we had a good laugh about it.
I still have 5 more units setup and ready to go, I just have to find more victims"

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.
