All I can say is, AWESOME. The guy is a very poor driver and it may have something to do with the size of the steering wheel but the overall design is so cool!

The Greatest Invention Of The Decade
That's right. The greatest invention of the decade is a new ketchup package from Heinz. It allows both easy squeezing AND a side for opening if you wish to just dip directly into the ketchup. Also, wait for it, it had three times the amount of a normal ketchup packet!
Amazing.

Teaching Children To Program Killer Robots
I wonder how many people will stumple upon that title in a Google search.
Just looking at this toy wants me to have a full life size version. That I can drive. That has lasers. And can act as a hovercraft. However, this toy one will have to do.
Maybe I can still add the lasers.

Steve Jobs: Google's "Don't Be Evil" Mantra is "Bulls***"
Also about Google, Jobs said that company "entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won't let them."

I don't think I can agree less with this. Yes, I have been a Google fanboy as of late for full disclosure; however, I believe Google entered the phone business to provide some sort of competition. Apple's iPhone was running away with the phone business for a solid 3 years, I even owned an iPhone for that long. The Android finally provides an alternative choices for people who want a good smart phone. On top of that, I believe the Android targets a different audience than the iPhone. It targets a more tech savvy crowd. Most of my friends and family still haven't even heard about Android phones. They have, of course, read about the Nexus One, but aren't that interested in the carriers nor the price. For 100 dollars people can purchase an iPhone 3G and instantly have around 120,000 apps. This seems much more compelling to them than a phone that provides great ssh clients and customization.

The Earth's Satellites, Visualized By Nation [Satellites]
via gizmodo.com
What stuck out the most in this image to me is the amount of space debris that is out there. The US seems to be the leader of useless metal floating in space, however, the ratio of China's actually satellites to orbiting space debris is quite amazing. I guess China just fails at launching stuff. I would not like to be a Chinese astronaut.

Physical color picker
I just thought this was the coolest pen ever. It's simply a pen that you can scan a color into and then use that color. I would easily pay 100-200 dollars for this amazing pen. It would be an amazing help for when I do my paper website sketches.
No More "Click Here" Links
Just a quick rant, maybe not even a rant, but 70% of the time I'm reading my email and browsing the web via a touch screen device now. The words "Click Here" should no longer be used for website or email links. They just are simply not relevent to an increasingly larger audience especially now with the rise of Slate/Pad devices. Also, writing "Touch Here" just sounds creepy so displaying a different webpage to those on touch devices does not help.
I'm not sure what people should use in place of the words "Click Here" now days, but I suggest just giving the wording some more thought from now on. If your website or email has any chance of being read by someone on a touch device, which it more than likely does, then these words just make it feel cheap.
