This is like the FUFME but really works: a haptic personal pussy which is linked to porn films. The makers of the device have programmed it to respond by tightening and heating and rubbing and lubing just like the pornstar you’re watching is doing in the scene on your computer.
According to Fleshbot it works very well. But it’s a bit pricey. For your richer type masterbator then…

In this theory, time is split from space entirely. It’s a working model, but is still being refined as there are some flaws in it yet. It’s exciting because it does what Newton’s and Einstein’s theories can’t do, which is predict at the quantum graviton level.

This thing is quite amazing – it features a heart rate meter, x, y, z-axis motion sensitivity, temperture sensor, battery voltage and altitude (based on temperature, not a barometer) and has wifi, USB, connects to stuff and is fully programmable. Best of all, it only costs $49,-

After some teething problems and predicions about the world ending, it’s started and we’re still here: the first low power collisions have been made in two of the four sensor arrays, meaning more science is yet to come!

All these hygenic parents who continuously wash and disinfect their children and don’t like them to play in the dirt are doing their progeny a huge disservice.
Common bacterial species, known as staphylococci, which can cause inflammation when under the skin, are “good bacteria” when on the surface, where they can reduce inflammation.
By studying mice and human cells, researchers discovered that they did this by making a molecule, called lipoteichoic acid (or LTA) , which acted on keratinocytes, the main cell types found in the outer layer of the skin.

It turns out that administering low-intensity shockwaves to the penis can help men with blood flow problems get over their difficulties getting a hard on. Viagra and Cialis help, but they need to keep taking the pills every time. This is a more permanent solution, because the shocks encourage the growth of new blood vessels from existing ones. It’s still a preliminary study, but it’s looking promising.

Basically it’s all about the movie and music industry being able to kick you off the net and subject you to huge fines without any proof – just an accusation of filesharing is enough. It’s also about giving the business secretary the power to make up penalties and enforcements at whim.

Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas, unveiled in Fort Lauderdale, is nearly 50% larger than the largest cruise ships now at sea. But it’s not just the ship’s size that has people talking. Built at a record cost of $1.4 billion, the 225,282-ton vessel is chock-full of industry firsts housed within seven themed neighborhoods. The 6,296-passenger vessel’s first cruise with paying passengers is set for Dec. 1
This makes it 5 times larger than the Titanic – and in the current economic climate, they’ll have problems filling it up, as well as fitting it into ports: currently only four can take it, but other ports are expanding their facilities and there should be more ports next year.

And allthough the authenticity of the 1079 emails and 72 documents hasn’t been verified, it shows that the researchers have manipulated the data to fit their models, can’t explain the lack of global warming and have plans set up to destroy the credibility of any scientist doubting their stance.

Looks like Jobs will do anything to avoid repairing that overpriced piece of equipment you bought from him: not only are the repair times shocking, but the lame excuse that tar clogs up your computer, creating a biohazard – whilst not mentioned anywhere in the AppleCare contract – voids your warranty is a bit ridiculous, no?

The art of swordmaking has remained fundamentally unchanged for the past couple of centuries, but Dan Watson has gone and changed the way the steel is tempered, making for swords twice as tough and flexible as any of the old ways. He does this by making the molecular strands in the steel twist in a curve instead of remaining in straight lines, and by using cryogenic freezing systems to ensure that the hardening of the molecules occurs in a completely controlled and optimum manner.
Expect to pay around $20.000,- for one of these…

And it looks like the F-35 JSF will probably be even worse. This premature buckling of the landing pads by the hot exhaust fumes, mean that the pads (which you can’t just go and replace without capsizing the ship) will run out before the ship does.
The USMC has issued DARPA a request to invent landing pads that are refrigerated and non-skid in order to mitigate the effect of the planes landing on them.
