You know what annoys us the most about the modern world? That a company like Panasonic can launch a new product, spend tens and possibly even hundreds of thousands of pounds on developing and promoting it, with the end result being…

…a rubbish YouTube video that’s gained 23 views three days after being uploaded. Dear Panasonic, we could do better than that for a retainer of £50 a day. Consider that a binding written offer.

His new one comes with the ability to send 140-character text messages via sub-carrier to any ship in the fleet.

Pressing the red X button makes him die. Typical glaring Imperial design flaw.

The one on the left. The one on the right is just the prototype based on the inventor. She looks scared and uncomfortable, which is excellent realism.

More here. WARNING: That’s a link to The Sun. They say “she” can talk, hopefully a firmware update will soon fix that ARE WE RIGHT FELLAS? HELL YES. STUPID COWS.

Better get one of these, then. Hopefully it come pre-installed with some jokes.

That ludicrous quote up-top is taken from another HTC lifestyle masterpiece, in which terms like “different moods in your daily self” and “fit your unique style and daily needs” are used in what appears to be a serious fashion.

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.

Here is/was a great idea for that person you care so little about you can’t even be bothered going to ASDA to buy them the cheapest chocolates they’ve got that come in a box – GiveChrome.

Google Chrome is the Extra-Last default browser. It’s nice using something that only works 90% of the time, but when it does work, it’s very fast – it’s like piloting the Millennium Falcon through an asteroid field of Flash errors.

“Here, I clicked on the least-gaudy virtual wrapping paper for you”.

Dad hasn’t phoned to say thanks yet, which is odd as he usually calls on Boxing Day.

UPDATE:
Thanks, you are too kind.

Sounds like a good and possibly even fun way to get outside and away from family members for a few hours, until you see the stabilisers. Chariot Skates require stabilisers. They require stabilisers so badly the stabilisers have to be built in.

They are therefore as XTREME as shuffling your armchair a little bit further forwards so you can see the repeat of Only Fools and Horses better.

More facts and videos of people in a perpetual state of about to break their wrists over at the Chariot Skates site.

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.

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

Good lord. Has it come to this? Are we all so desperate for popularity we will turn to a COOL BIRD IN SUNGLASSES for assistance? We would rather get caught looking at pornography of real birds wearing sunglasses than risk clicking on anything to do with this horrifying page.

Let’s not even refer to this product/tool by name, lest it gain .0000001 percent more status on the old Google rankings.

Saw this during a short trip back to mainstream consumer land. Stood staring it at it in a mixture of shock, confusion and wonder, like the monkeys looking at the monolith at the beginning of ‘2001′.

If there was a big bit of bone handy, several shop assistants might have been bludgeoned.

Has anyone ever read a Bookazine? Is it just a way publishers can get away with charging £7.99 for a compilation of bits from old magazines by using a slightly thicker type of paper stock for the cover?
