Is this the new google? Icerocket is making a blast on computers everywhere. The best part of the normal web search is that it shows a preview of what the website looks like, i dont know why but it makes it easyer to pinpoint the search. They could make the News section better organized, but the IceSpy is pretty cool, it lets you see what other people are searching. You can also search blogs, Phone pics, and Multi Media. it doesnt have as many features and may not be as simple as google, but its olmost there. This could be the Google killer. Check it out!

Insta-hipster with the hipster iPod

By Ryan Block

hipster iPod

What, listening to that those two namedropping Le Tigre and LCD Soundsystem tracks wasn’t enough of a lesson to get
you started on your road to proper hipsterdom? Well, if you want to kill two birds with one stone, just hook up the
Hipster iPod, a 60GB iPod that comes pre-loaded for $900 with 900 properly music-snobbish albums, including but not
limited to The Shaggs, Can, T-Rex, The Modern Lovers, the No New York comp, Gang of Four, The Pop Group, Throbbing
Gristle, The Homosexuals, The Fall, and many, many more. Now all you have to do live in Williamsburg and you’re totally
set to kick out the mad jams. And yes, we know this is a joke. Or if not that, still highly, indubitably illegal at
best.

P.S. - No comments about us living in Williamsburg, please.

Creepy Robot Alert

China is getting into the humanoid robot game. Baizhixing,
or “smart star”, doesn’t play soccer or have individually moving
fingers, but he can make facial expressions and gesticulate at
preschoolers. Dr Bao Qingshan, in charge of the development of this
shoeless Teddy Ruxpin at the Harbin Institute of Technology, is quoted:

“It
combines animal imitation technology and modern preschool education
theory, integrating control systems, complicated mechanical structures,
speech synthesis and expandable networking technology… All the core
technologies have been developed independently, and are equal to the
advanced techniques utilized abroad. We have complete intellectual
patent rights.”

I can’t tell if the little girl
in the photo is fascinated by Baizhixing or about to start bawling, but
the half-lidded leer the robot’s giving the camera is pretty
unnerving.

GreenZap PayPal’s Competition? Get $25 Free

Filed under: All, Deals, Web, Announcements

Description

A new online payment service is set to launch this summer, and from what I am hearing, GreenZap has some big plans for their debut. While many have soured over how Paypal has treated them,
there hasn’t really been an online payment service that has stepped up the the plate and become virtually universally accepted. This is what GreenZap
aims to change. They state that they are here to take on Paypal, and
lead the way for electronic payments. They will be accepted by eBay,
Yahoo! Auctions, and many other online entities. Signing up for
GreenZap is free, and if you sign up now, when you log in to your
account on their June 15, 2005 launch date - you will find $25
deposited for your use. Take that, Paypal.

Note: Type TrendyDNA into the Promo code area, when you preregister, to get the FREE $25!

Soviet RESURRECTION Experiment Video

by: merck

A video filmed in the 1940s, shows how the Soviets successfully resurrected a severed dog head, also how they were able to stop a heart of a dog for up to 15 minutes and resurrect it again with blood circulation mechanism, with surprisingly no brain damage! From what I understand this is real historically documented footage.
