Can’t answer the question above? That has always been asked by the kids and a tricky question for the parents. Can’t really tell your kids how you bonk your best friend’s girlfriend during prom night and the ‘unplanned pregnancy’ resulted in this annoying cry baby right? Let them watch this video, and try to explain that they’re the sole champion of a one thousand kilometre journey challenge.

Waiting for Gran Turismo but its taking ages? All your hairs are gone due to you pulling them while waiting for Gran Turismo 5, and you’ve finished playing Halo Reach? Well, don’t worry as here’s some temporary sweet for you. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. The classic title’s being revived by Criterion, not Black Box anymore. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit will have a playable demo available on October 26, and it hits store shelves November 16. Read more…

HP’s Slate prototype gets yet another demo video on the web. Here’s a video over eight more minutes, showing the prototype and the packaging. According to the back of the box of this self-proclaimed business model, here’s the official specs we’re looking at: a 1.86GHz Intel Atom Z540 with GMA500 and Broadcom Crystal HD Enhanced Video accelerator, 8.9-inch WSVGA screen, 2GB DDR2 RAM, about 60GB storage capacity, Windows 7 Home Premium, 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth, SD card reader, and a 2-Cell 30WHr Lithium-ion Polymer battery. There are two cameras here, one in front and one in rear. Read more…

Sharp has just announced a new line of e-readers, and even naming them Galapagos in honour of the evolution the company believes they represent. The 5.5-inch Mobile version (pictured above) has a delightfully dense 1024 x 600 LCD screen, while its 10.8-inch Home sibling offers a very decent 1366 x 800. There’s 802.11b/g WiFi on both, while the littler slate is also enriched with a navigational trackball. Sharp’s emphasis here really seems to be on the cloud-based ecosystem it’s creating for these “terminal” devices — 30,000 newspapers, magazines and books have been lined up for its planned December launch and an “automatic scheduled delivery” facility will help you get at them as soon as the latest issue’s ready for consumption. Sadly, we should note that this is specifically tailored to suit the Japanese market, which makes an international release seem somewhat unlikely.

According to Design Boom, the AlessiTab by Stefana Giovannoni is now set to roll out in Italy sometime in November (instead of this month), and it will run €399, or about $535 (a full hundred euros than previously expected). The Android 2.1-based tablet includes a 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen, a DVB-T digital TV tuner, built-in WiFi, and a webcam for video calls. Notably absent, however, is access to the Android Market, but Alessi promises it’ll provide a selection of its own apps specifically designed for the home environment.

Sony has prepared to refresh their Vaio laptops with some seasonal upgrades seeing as winter is coming soon. First and foremost, the 16.4-inch VAIO F is getting a kick in the graphical department – just as expected, you can grab a GeForce GT 425M 1GB for a nominal $50 fee — and there’s a pair of standard-issue USB 3.0 ports to power some potent peripherals. The Vaio L touchscreen all-in-one, meanwhile, is getting a Blu-ray burner at the $2,199 level, and both the VAIO EA and VAIO EB will have a power plant of 2.53GHz Core i5-460M and 2.66GHz Core i5-580M processors for $130 and $230 premiums, respectively, as well as ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics for a mere $100. Last but not least, the EB and EC can trade in their weak 1366 x 768 displays for 1920 x 1080 full HD glory, and until October 9th that particular $50 upgrade costs you the very reasonable price of free, or so they say.

Sometimes we have to respect hackers. They gave us the jailbreaked iPhone, and many else. They’re the kind of guy who spends countless hours for their self-funded projects, just to prove a point to the world.

Thanks to dedicated code junkies over at XDA developers, HTC’s ill-fated Shift is getting a new lease on life by showing its ability to run OS X 10.5.6. Sadly, it looks as if an upgrade to Snow Leopard is out of the question due to some file changes between 10.5 and 10.6, but the biggest killer is the current build’s inability to provide Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support. The guidelines to follow suit are right there in the source link, but good luck making good use of this without cordless access to the World Wide Web.

These days concept art furniture not only make your living room look like and feel like from the Tron, but also smells like. The “Lollypop” from Dalcan might look very artistic (and may I say I’m impressed), but it also host four diffuser capsules behind em. Thanks to this cabinet, the Gladiator Remastered Full HD will also smell good, besides being awesome. Read more…

How I miss the time when a clock tells time, and that’s it. Straight forward with no funky and fancy tricks. The Shattered Clock only shows the hour that the time is, and every other number is broken apart. Are you able to tell the time for the picture above? It’s 3:55 if you’re wondering.
