Women More Likely than Men to Give Passwords for Chocolate. No Crap.

by Joanna Stern

I have to say as a woman I believe the findings of Infosecurity Europe’s recent survey, which claims that women are more inclined than men to give away passwords for chocolate, to be seriously flawed.

The survey found that women far more likely than males to give away their passwords to total strangers. Forty-five percent of women versus 10 percent of men were prepared to give away their passwords, to strangers masquerading as market researches with the lure of a chocolate bar as an incentive for filling in the survey.

My first issue is that women like chocolate more than men. Do I even need evidence of this? I do know women love chocolate, especially during a certain time of the month. If I were to run into a “market researcher” on the street, sure, I’d give him my “password” for a Milky Way. I’d lie about my password, take the chocolate and run. Men might have done the same if the incentive was, let’s say, bacon.

Newspaper Brick Maker Transforms Funnies into Yule Logs

The Newspaper Brick Maker is the perfect device to add a little eco friendly to your pyro transgressions. You fill the brick maker with wet pieces of newspaper. The brick maker (and a bit of your muscle, were sure) smashes out the liquid while smashing together the paper. Allow the brick to dry and, at long last, you have a decent excuse to watch Garfield pay for his cinematic sins. And for $29.98, it's a legitimately a neat gift and perfect for that neighbor who is always asking to take those fallen branches off your hands. I have a fire pit, too, asshole! And mine is copper.

Rip Saw UGV Tank Fast as a Motorcycle, Yours For Only $200,000

First introduced in 2005, the Rip Saw is about to hit the market with a $200,000 price tag. The custom-built UGV can hit 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, go 80 mph, and can maneuver over any surface or terrain a tank can. And the video is pretty good; watch as it drives through a barn as if it were the cardboard boxen your handset came in.

The privately-funded Rip Saw was first built by the Howe brothers for the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge. Though the Rip Saw didn't win, its video certainly turned some heads, enough to find funding to build more than one. I normally don't get too excited about military shit like this, but any machine that can obliterate an wood shack with ease and turn donuts on snow wins my heart. Check out the 2005 teaser vid to see what i mean. [Howe and Howe via Red Ferret via Geekologie]

How To House-fully Charge your Ipod

Weird as it could seem but it looks like it's really possible to charge your Ipod with an onion stuffed up with Gatorade, I'm guessing some serious juice is in that drink, literally.

Pentru momentele in care cineva vorbeste mult prea tare la mobil

Chiar ar fii cazul sa mai fie respectate si acele indicatoare care interzic folosirea telefoanelor mobile sau macar sa existe bunul simt in unele locuri publice unde lumea poate ar dori sa se bucure de putina liniste, sa poarte o conversatie, sa nu fie persoane care urla cat ii tin plamanii la telefon... Dar totusi codul bunelor maniere si al bunului simt e departe de noi...

ATM Hello Kitty pentru fetitele care deja incep sa aiba pasiune pentu banuti

Incet incet nu ma mai mira nimic, acuma a aparut un aparat pentru fetite, sper... ca sa poata sa invete si ele de mici cum sa scoti bani cat mai repede de la un bancomat? Totusi nu cred ca vor putea sa scoata bani pe credit, dar daca va introduce banuti ii vor putea scoate dupa ceva timp cu cardul inclus in pachet.

Totusi cred ca mai mult daca ai nevoie de ceva pinky in camera mai bine apelezi la putina vopsea.

Cigarette Machine to Teens: "Get Outta Here Ya Damn Kids!"

Listen up, Japanese teens: vending machine maker Fujitaka Co. is on to your sneaky cigarette-buying ways, and has created a machine that uses a camera and face recognition software to try and stop you. The machine takes your picture when you press the "Adult Recognition" button, and analyzes your face for wrinkles and sagging. If it thinks you aren't saggy enough, you must insert your license for age verification. In a test of 500 people, the machine spotted adults with 90% accuracy. Looks like the big kid with the crustache sitting at the back of your math class is about to be your new best friend; at least until you smoke enough to get wrinkled and buy cigarettes on your own.

Charge your USB gadgets by breathing

USB devices do everything these days, including charge your gadgets with only the power provided by your breathing: specifically, the act of moving one's chest in and out. Just in case you thought this required sticking a gadget down your throat, see the image above and note that it's attached to the outside of the model's chest. The instructions for building your own breathing powered USB charger are over at instructables, and the kit only requires simple equipment like a spare CD drive, some elastic bands, and an electric circuit. You've got all that lying around, ain't ya? Well then, stick it all together and get breathing. Unfortunately, it only produces around 5 volts, so you'll have to breath a lot whole lot to get any meaningful charging time from this invention. And don't even think about attaching it to the cat.

Componentele unei masini, la propriu

Ma jucam si eu putin pe net, pe diverse site-uri, ba cu noutati, ba cu poze, masini, noutati, pe cand am dat de poza asta in care sunt absolut toate piesele folosite pentru crearea unui golf 2. Cineva pentru un puzzle in 3D? Cine reuseste sa faca sa si functioneze masina primeste o bataie peste umar si felicitarile mele.

Cum sa cazi in sus pe o scara rulanta?

Au foarte mare dreptate cei de la adidas cu sloganul lor, "Impossible is nothing", intotdeauna va fii ceva din ce in ce mai uimitor. Oare dupa atata timp in care au existat scarile rulante in aproape fiecare magazin supraetajat care se respecta, inca nu a avut timp lumea sa se obisnuiasca cu ele?

MotoPenisClock si raspunsul de la Motorola

Oare ce pare ciudat in poza asta? tinand cont ca a fost facuta dupa ecranul unui telefon mobil...
Desi e un subiect destul de vechi, poate totusi mai va mai pune un zambet, doua pe chipul unora.
Si a 2-a zi dupa ce a aparut poza a aparut si raspunsul de la motorola in engleza binenteles:

"The image that you see is actually the result of shading applied to the clock background graphic to give it more of a three-dimensional appearance, in line with the theme of the phone. The graphic is actually built as concentric circles stacked on top of each other, with a lighting filter applied to give it depth. Unfortunately, the result is something that has some readers questioning what they see, and Motorola apologizes for any perception of impropriety as it was certainly not our intent at all. The graphic is only in a few models of our phones with certain software builds installed. We’re already taking steps to ensure that the clock face graphic in question will not appear in any future products. If someone wants to remove the graphic from their view, they can either select Menu -> Settings / Personalize / Home Screen / Clock / Digital, or Options/Customize Home/Clock Style/Digital, depending on their phone model."

P.s. eu unul nu am observat nici urma de cercuri concentrice pe acolo.

Tancul Biserica

Deci cred ca se aplica aici expresia americana "your guess is as good as mine" la ceea ce ar vrea sa fie acest "tanc", o unealta de a duce credinta sau doar o incercare de a spune: mai bine mergi tu la biserica decat sa vina ea la tine :).
