  A top-performing computer programmer, who has been described as an “inoffensive and quiet family man,” in his mid-40’s outsourced his job to China to enable himself to lead a sinister double work life comprised entirely of browsing Lolcatz, Reddit, eBay and Facebook and “taking lunch”. The man, whose name has been listed only as Bob (which is not his real name), is alleged to have hired a company in China to do his work for [...]

• LG Gets Some Laughs With the Old Disappearing Elevator Floor Trick

  In Featured, Wired Madness

  

  As you can see from the video below, LG got creative in the marketing of their new line of IPS monitors. They rigged nine of them up on the floor of an elevator, made the elevator lights flicker and ran some video to make it seem as if the floor was falling away. It was clever, and the reactions seemed real enough, but I am guessing that the people involved were either actors or knew [...]

• The Most Awesome Nightlight You Will See Today [Plasma Nightlight]

  In Featured, Housewares

  

  A plasma nightlight might both look and sound awesome, how can it not? Just beware, from the two one star reviews it seems that the MoMA store is having some quality issues with the nightlight at the moment. That being said, they seem happy to help if things go wrong, so if you don’t mind the hassle of chasing down a replacement, or fixing it yourself (it sounds like a faulty switch), then by all [...]
