Think lighting a match takes too much time and effort? You're not alone, apparently. Rather than going through the excruciating motions of taking a match out of a matchbox and striking it on the side, the Lucifer holds matches and strikes them as you take them out.
To use it, you just turn it upside down and the bottom of a match will pop out. Grab the match and pull, and voila: you've got a lit match in your hands. Now the only hard part is figuring out what to do with the three seconds you just saved. –Adam Frucci
Face it, people. Flying cars are science fiction, and no matter how badly you want to be Marty McFly the closest thing you're ever gonna get to a flying car is a tiny airplane. But hey, the basic tenants of logic don't stop people from chasing the dream, and who are we to judge?
Vernon Porter and Clarence Kissell are hard at work on their own flying automobile in their backyard shop in Texas . Seeing that these enterprising engineers are 72 and 70 respectively, they've got more motivation than the average dreamer to get their car off the ground before they're six feet beneath it. Will it take to the skies? Well, not to be a cynic, but I'd be very surprised. But don't let that stop you, Vern and Clarence! Prove my cold, jaded heart wrong! –Adam Frucci
Wanna give your Mac a high-def kick in the nads? FastMac's new Blu-ray optical drive lets you load up your spankin' new iMac or MacBook Pro with a slot-loading Blu-ray drive that'll give you 1x BD-RW speeds and support for 50GB Blu-ray discs. Unfortunately, because it's a slot-loading drive, there's no Mac Pro support (although the drive will work with iBooks, Mac minis, and PowerBooks). It's out now for $800, which is a lot of loot, so you may wanna consider getting an external HDD if all you're after is a storage solution. – Louis Ramirez
Friends at Kotaku and Engadget are claiming this unconfirmed video is of the XBox 360 Spring Update. There's lots of detail here...unconfirmed detail...but the most important unconfirmed tweaks are:
•Unconfirmed integration with MSN messenger by way of friends list and on screen chat pop ups
•An unconfirmed live download mode that puts the console into Jedi sleep
Off the record, let's be honest: It looks real to me...unofficially. But until official confirmation, it's all officially speculation. Got it?–Brian Lam
