Anonymous has reportedly released a tool called the Universal Rapid Gamma Emitter (URGE) that makes it easier for the “hactivist” group to tweet faster without constantly copying and pasting text on Twitter. But underneath that disguise is a tool with ability to hijack trending topics of choice, allowing the attacker to tweet messages within them.

The URGE tool is the group’s answer to Twitter’s lack of trending hash tags that actually serve a cause and mean something to free thinkers of the world. According to the group, trending topics on Twitter are typically redundant and pop culture-like – they’re more appealing to users so that they get people to twee more.

Korean cars used to be ugly and unreliable, but now they’ve hired Europeans to draw their cars, and have improved their quality (or sort). The South Koreans are taking the world by storm, and this new concept car from Kia is showing us their next step in the revolution of their design language.

Making the first Euro-style GT is an important guidepost in the life of every Asian car manufacturer. 46 years after Toyota first showed the 2000GT concept at the Tokyo Motor Show, Kia has unveiled its own at the Frankfurt Motor Show, called simply the GT.

A funny thing just happened over at the Bluetooth SIG’s website: the group may have just outed Motorola’s first Facebook phone. As Unwired View rightfully points out, the EX225 is likely a feature phone that’s based on BREW, as Android’s navigation buttons are nowhere to be found.

The handset offers two variants, one that supports dual-SIMs and another that accommodates only one. Further, a nearly identical version, the EX226, is displayed in a separate listing that lacks the notorious “F” button.

Both models share a common 2.4-inch TFT-LCD display, a 3 megapixel camera and five row QWERTY keyboard — along with a sizable protrusion at the bottom rear of the device. That’s all we have for the moment, but it seems that the Status shouldn’t be too concerned about this Moto.

First rule of expensive electronics 101 is don’t get’em wet. For the Japanese, however, a waterproof gadget option’s a welcome value-add to time spent soaking in that ofuro. Fujitsu is making the official announcement that their water-friendly LTE slate is joining the Arrows Tab LTE F-01D on DoCoMo’s new 4G Xi network. This Fujitsu tablet won’t be alone thought, joined by our good Samsung friend, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE SC-01D.

Both slates are set to hit the operator’s Japanese airwaves next month, with Sammy’s bowing in early October and Fujitsu’s model landing a few weeks later. While we’re already privy to all the internal guts and glory of the former tab, we finally have some spec confirmation on the Arrows. The 10.1-incher boasts a WXGA display, dual-core processor running Android 3.2, 1.3 megapixel front-facing / 5 megapixel rear camera setup, up to 32GB of storage and that ever useful waterproofing.

Coffins are always black and rectangular, looking dull. Not like we really bother about it when most of the time we’ll be thinking about the person in it, not the thing that’s containing him or her. But some people that have fashion taste will also want to leave this world in fashion right? When you’re alive, you look good. Would you want to leave in a dull black box? Well here’s something extremely unique in its own. A coffin that doesn’t look like one!

Paa Joe’s sculpted coffins blur the line between art and craft. Each work is carefully constructed to reflect the ambition or the trade of the person for whom it was made. They are not dead things but are instead a manifestation of and indeed an affirmation of life. The works are wholly African and are a contemporary embodiment of traditional tribal burial rituals and art practice. They link back to pre-colonial West African sculpture but also recall the pomp and extravagance of ancient Egyptian royal tombs.

PS3 and PC gamers have shamefully allowed the undead to bounce across the surface of our lunar satellite for far too long — next Thursday, their extraterrestrial galavanting must come to an end. Activision has announced that the Call of Duty: Black Ops Rezurrection DLC pack, which adds five Zombie maps to the game (including the entirely ridiculous Moon stage), will arrive on PC and PS3 Thursday, September 22.

You’ll be able to grab the pack and its constituent Zombie-slaying grounds for $14.99. Activision’s also distributing double experience during the immediately following weekend, September 23 – 25, on the off chance that you haven’t Prestiged like, a billion times by now.

In the future, the world is split between augmented superhumans and boring, meat-based humans. In the present, our technological distinctions are a little more pedestrian: Xbox or PS3? Mac or PC? While the former has already been addressed by the multiplatform release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the latter is a decidedly PC-only affair.

But like the original Deus Ex, which was ported to Mac OS shortly after its release, Human Revolution will enjoy a Mac OS release courtesy of the good people at Feral Interactive sometime this “winter 2011/12.” Specifics on pricing, date, and system requirements will be announced “later this year.”

Eidos Montreal general manager Stephane D’Astous says, “We are delighted to partner with Feral, a leading expert in development for the Mac platform, to bring the acclaimed Deus Ex: Human Revolution to Mac players.” With two million units already shipped, a Mac release should help Eidos Montreal’s surprise hit find an even larger audience.
