More crazy magical furniture: Levitating Light Bulb

A levitating wirelessly powered light bulb!
"light bulb is a levitating yet powered light bulb. It will float stably in midair and remain on for years without any physical contact, charging, or batteries. Ironically, with the levitation and wireless power circuitry both on, this entire package still consumes less than half the power of an incandescent bulb. This is not a trick or a photoshop manipulation. The bulb and the casing contain hidden circuitry [shown in figures] that uses electromagnetic feedback to levitate the bulb roughly 2.5" from the nearest object, and uses coupled resonant wireless power transfer to beam power from the housing into the bulb itself."

WTF Video - Bangkok Market

Ever play road hockey and have to yell 'Car!' and move the nets out of the way whenever a car is comming? Well I guess these Bankok marketplace patrons are yelling 'Train!' I guess it is pretty crowded in Bankok because this market is literally on top of commuter train tracks. Watch as they scatter and reassemble like flies being swatted away from your toast.

Zombie Survival Tips for the Concerned Human

Here is the Top Zombie Survival Tips from the list universe.

So - the inevitable has happened - zombies have attacked the world. You need to know how to survive and this is the list you need - the top 7 zombie survival tips.

1. Pull your shit together!
Zombie 1
If it’s a zombie infestation, the cops, firemen, and ambulance men will all be rather busy, or dead. When the first zombies are seen, the police will take them to hospitals. Do not lock yourself in your apartment and wait for the police to save you. Do not cooperate with the authorities. They know nothing about zombies, as they believe that zombies are a myth.

2. Get armed
Zombie 2
You do not want to face zombies and be unarmed, even if they are not so smart or quick or powerful, they will be too dangerous to fight bare handed. Firearms are good, but you should also have some side weapons you can use if you run out of bullets, or if they get too close. Anything’s good: knives, swords, axes or even poleaxes if you know how to use one properly. Blunt weapons are also good, but you must wear protection goggles and a mask, or something to protect your face from the splash.

3. Get armored
Zombie 3
You must try to protect your body as much as you can, especially the neck, arms and legs. These are the most exposed parts to bite. You can find lots of body armor from army surplus shops, or even martial arts and hunting shops. Jeans also offer good protection from bites.

4. Leave town
Zombie 4
If the zombie infestation caught you in a big town, you must leave immediately. It’s one thing to face 10 zombies, but another thing to face 10000 zombies. Best thing is to go to the country. Farms are quite easy to defend, and the open spaces won’t let you get caught by surprise.

5. Gather supplies
Zombie 5
Gather as many supplies as you can. Everything from bottled water to gas - you will need it. And it won’t be hard to do it…if everyone’s dead it won’t be stealing! Best thing is to get a truck and start looting the largest stores in the area. Don’t go into big towns, and don’t start looting until you are 100% sure there won’t be a zombie attack, let alone a big one! You don’t want the authorities to stop the attack, nor do you want to end up in jail for looting.

6. Barricade
Zombie 6
Some barbed wire and a whole bunch of gas filled bottles can do wonders when defending your resort from a zombie attack. Also, alarms are a very good idea. You can make them yourself (some cans and pots on a wire) or get a real one, motion sensors and everything (see number 5 for looting tips - Gas and Generator required).

7. Search for survivors
Zombie 7
After you have enough supplies, and your home and the surroundings are safe, you should start searching for survivors. Even if you are the only one of your group still alive, you’ll end up going mad if you remain alone. Start with the small towns around you. It will be quite easy if you have a zombie proof car. Just go to the town limits and honk. If zombies are there, they will head in your direction and you can just leave; alternatively you will recognize the survivors and can form a group. Safety in numbers!

Need for Speed ProStreet

In Need for Speed ProStreet, "Speed Challenges are very much like a standard race, except that the courses you race on are designed to be extremely fast, with turns that slowly move from side to side that allow you to keep your foot on the gas at all times."
It looks like we get the ability to drive cars such as the new Skyline, Cayman, Turbo, M3, RS4, Elise, as well as a whole crap load of new (and old) yet slightly lesser cars.

Sweeney Todd - Burton and Depp's New Flick

Tim Burton's new movie Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, stars none other than Johny Depp and looks promisingly violent. For those of you who don't know, and I don't blame you, Sweeney Todd is originally a Broadway musical. The story is about Sweeney Todd, a barber in London who murders people as they get their hair cut.
It is set to come out December 21st. I guess it is still a musical, so that might suck a little. Hopefully there is more killing and less singing.
