It's hard for a lot of us to relate to what goes on in fashion, but Alexander McQueen, recently deceased, strode across some familiar territory in his final works. Shots like this are as sci-fi as they are high-fashion. [BoingBoing] More »
Razer announced today that they are going to be releasing Mac drivers for all of their future products. This comes on the heels of the announcement that Steam is coming to the Macintosh as well.
Razer specifically mentioned the upcoming line of StarCraft II peripherals, which makes sense in light of the fact that Blizzard has always released a Mac version of their games at the same time as their PC versions. From the press release:
RAZER™ REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO SUPPORT MAC® USERS

Six cores. Twelve threads. A new flagship processor in Intel's stable. Here at GDC in San Francisco, the world's most widely recognized chip maker is dishing out its latest desktop CPU, and to say it's a niche device would be greatly understating things. We spoke to a number of Intel bigwigs at tonight's media event, and everyone confessed that the Core i7-980X Extreme Edition was a low quantity, high performance device aimed specifically at gamers and content editors that simply refuse to (...)

<img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/1002/samsungomniaii-verizon.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' /Verizon CTO Anthony Melone in a talk [sub. required] today asserted that the carrier's first 4G phones should arrive in the middle of 2011. The unnamed handsets would come roughly a year after the Long Term Evolution-based network goes live for pure data but would be about six months ahead of the originally predicted timeframe. Any early phone is likely to have (...)
My friend Eric Hoberman helped develop a new game show that will premiere on NBC on Sunday March 14 from 7-9 p.m. ET/PT. It's called Minute To Win It, and the object is to win a series of 10 easy-to-understand but increasingly-hard-to-win challenges. As the title suggests, the players must successfully complete each of the games in a minute. The award structure is like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire -- the cash amount increases with each game up to a million dollars, you can walk away with (...)

Astronaut Andrew Feustel spacewalks to perform repairs on the Hubble; click to enlarge.
Take a number of the Hubble Space Telescope's most stunning images, give them a 3D look, and display them on an IMAX screen--what's not to love? Yet Hubble 3D, an IMAX and Warner Brothers film made in cooperation with NASA, manages to go far beyond that.
Much of the film focuses on last May's mission of the Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-125) to repair the Hubble. The astronauts brought an IMAX 3D camera (...)

As the latest universal remote control solution for iPhones and iPod touches, New Potato's FLPR ($80) combines a brand new and free FLPR application with an Infrared dongle that attaches to the bottoms of iPhones and iPods alike. The FLPR dongle is small, black, and compatible with some cases so that you needn't pull your favorite enclosure off of your device in order to use it. But the key to this accessory is the app, which has 14,000 remote (...)
A leaked internal memo reveals that the nation’s largest carrier is trying to jump on the Apple bandwagon by encouraging its employees to push its MiFi device as an accessory to the upcoming iPad. The idea itself is worthy of consideration — save $130 by purchasing the Wi-Fi version of the Apple iPad and pair it with a MiFi to get 3G wireless connectivity on the go. What Verizon fails to mention is that the MiFi requires a two year contract and will cost $60 per month for the unlimited data (...)
This is a lamp with a dimmer. Does it look like a dimmer lamp you’ve ever seen before? It reminds me of a lamp I saw in an abandoned house once; it moved up and down smoothly from the ceiling based on how much you pulled down or touched up. Well what do you know, the lamp we’re talking about right now does something very similar! Instead of the lamp moving, this, the “Etirement” lamp, has easily adjustable intensities of light.
Based on an orgaic skin-and-bones body, the Etirement has both: a (...)
