Penis-like outline spotted in space

Man sent this in. We have to use it, as this could be the sort of lowest-common-denominator thing that gets upwards of 10 Diggs and may even make the front page of the printed-out monthy Twitter Digest.

The full scientific explanation of the penile spatial anomaly can be found here.

penis-in-space

“Nothing to do with SEGA, nor something with a face, nor someone holding something, and not even a gray-haired man posing in an ill fitting suit. But it is a penis in space. To save you having to look through a genuine astrophysics paper, I have attached the figure for your amusement.

“The caption reads ‘Fig. 2.— ACS three-color image of HCG 31. The gray polygons denote the boundaries of the physical regions associated with the galaxies and tidal structures in HCG 31 as labeled. They were defined by eye to encompass the optical light associated with each region.’ and not ‘LOOK AT THE WANG’. Not found by me but a close astrophysicist. It pays to keep at least one close” – SigF.

We’ve got another new mobile phone

It’s half the size of our last one, and has a screen that does black as well as white. It’s manufactured by Great Personal Solutions, which is what that logo stands for.

The additional camera attachment comes with its own carry-trolley.

LG’s “Chocolate Love” video incident

There’s a nice awkward moment at around the 13 second mark, when two of the girls make eye contact with the viewer. If you are uneasy about the whole eye contact thing, do not watch this.

They look at you like they know what you’re thinking and they mind.

This was sent in by “The ‘R’ Man” so you can blame him for the fact it was originally uploaded to YouTube on October 14 2009, already has 1.5m views and might, therefore, be considered “old”. We haven’t seen it due to living in a vacuum.

Lady Parking at the Wonder Mall

A man sent this in. He thought it would just about be acceptable as it’s from a place that might sell gadgets. And there’s also a man holding what could be an iPhone in the smaller photo.

Compared with that photo of the garden with a face, this is SPOT ON.

“I stumbled across this blog post and thought you’d like it, it can just about be linked to technology, as it’s a photo from a Chinese mall, I expect they sell fake iPhones there or something” – Keith.

Bitly.TV for seeing what other people are doing

If you’re still refusing to go on Twitter because it’s been on the news and is popular and you’re a bit busy listening to Rage Against the Machine, you won’t know about Bit.ly. It’s a URL-shortening service, so people can share links without having the http://www.websiteaddress/wp-content/uploads part of the address taking up all the space needed for acerbic and ironic commentary.

Anyway, Bit.ly now has Bitly.TV, a list of automatically-generated links to the most popular videos that are currently being shared online.

None of you will care about this, we are starting to realise, but the image has already been captured and inserted so we may as well press on with it.

bitly-tv

That’s what the public are watching on Bitly.TV. Stupid public. We assume there will soon be one based around porn arriving soon.

Want someone to talk to?

While doing some research on HP Deskjet models for a thing we do where we pretend to be a man who knows about printers, we found this page – which lets you talk to a woman, live, and for free.

hp-deskjet-sexychat

We assume it’s free. Unless times are so hard for HP it’s had to turn to niche sex chat.

Seemingly not-ironic Sugababes endorsement of Windows 7

The girls claim that Windows 7 was their idea, so perhaps that kindly-featured blonde one might be able to pop round some time to solve a few driver conflicts our soundcard is generating on startup?

We’re running Windows Vista, so maybe that’s not their area of expertise. Either way, if a current or even ex-Sugababe could offer some help that would be great. Thanks.

SimplicITy – a simple computer for old people

“OK, grandma, now insert the WEP key for your router… your WEP key. The WEP key? You know, the WEP key. What’s your WEP key? NO! Don’t tell me over the phone, the government might be listening”.

Here’s Valerie Singleton explaining. She doesn’t explain where the WEP key goes, that must be the Big Reveal for video #2.

They’re going to have a viral SMASH on their hands with this, we suspect. It’s in aid of the SimplicITy PC range, two new machines for old people. They use Linux, which is handy, as granddad’s always expressing an interest in getting his hands on the latest Ubuntu binary release.

LG BL40 “Chocolate” phone launch shame

Blimey. Found this. Seems to be from an amazingly decadent LG launch party for its new “Chocolate” mobile. She must’ve been craned into position judging by her shoes.

lg-bl40-chocolate-launch-party

Not entirely sure if that’s a real woman or a mannequin, but would still like to spend five minutes prodding it before pulling one of its legs off to take home as a trophy.

Everyone’s going to feel very silly tomorrow morning. Especially the man.
