Normally, you'd think a blog like this would start with "Only in Japan would they dream up some wacky tech like this." But this comes from China. My guess is that there is an oversupply of speaker components, and they dumped it all into this phone.

Now wouldn't it be ironic if the phone had poor reception?

Shooting rocks with your slingshot is so last decade passe'. But a media group in Berlin has somehow made it all cool again. They created a digital slingshot, where you input a SMS message on the device, aim it at a giant wall, and then fire away. The result? The message gets splattered on the wall.

Life is a journey. In fact, one could say its more like an RPG, where the main character (you) sets out on a 70 to 100 year quest to find themselves. Wouldn’t it be great if there was an easy way to check your stats and level up? Turns out there’s an app for that.  Doing laundry was never so much fun.

During our visit to LucasArts at E3, we got a chance to check out some highly anticipated titles.  One of those was the long-awaited sequel to Monkey Island, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.  Not only did The Kartel get a sneak peak at the game, we got the scoop on a potential iPhone and iPad port.

So I debated long and hard about whether I should be writing this blog. But for such a gadget loving crew we got here, how can we not at least make a mention of the snazzy new iPhone 4? In many ways, this is the phone that iPhone lovers have dreamed about from the beginning when we first heard of the fancy phone Apple was going to bring to market. So what new fandangled features does this beaut come loaded with, and what's the one big unforgivable problem with owning this phone?
