Cute: The Cellphone Charging Insect Circus

FILED IN Entertainment No Comments

This is an ad for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon smartphone processing chip featuring a bug (and arachnid!) circus charging a phone with their incredible feats of bravery. Ooooooor crawling. It was mostly crawling. I couldn’t really tell what was real or fake (praying mantis pedaling bike: definitely fake) or if they’re actually charging a phone, but then I realized I didn’t care. About my coworkers either. Anytime a get well soon card is getting passed around the office I always sign ‘you deserved this’.

Hit the jump for the fun for your whole family (except pets — they will bring fleas home). View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome

IRL ‘Superhero’ Phoenix Jones Arrested For Assault After Pepperspraying A Crowd

FILED IN Entertainment No Comments

“Oh shishi, are we playing Batman?!”

Seen here about to explain to a Juggalo how pepper spray works, real life “superhero” Phoenix Jones was arrested for assault after dousing four people with the spray during the incident. Me? I’ve maced myself in the eyes before. It…really f***ed up my contacts.

Seattle police say the city’s self-proclaimed superhero known as Phoenix Jones has been arrested after he was accused of assaulting several people with pepper spray. But the masked vigilante says he was merely stopping a street brawl.

Police say Jones came up to a group of people leaving a nightclub early Sunday and sprayed them. Two men in the group chased after Jones. Officers broke up the two parties and arrested the 23-year-old.

Jones releases through his Facebook page a video that shows he used the spray after he was attacked. In a post he says he wouldn’t “ever assault or hurt another person if they were not causing harm to another human being.”

There’s a video after the jump showing the incident, but I’m not really sure what the hell I saw. It did look like a woman was fighting with a Juggalo in the beginning, but who knows. What I do know is that wearing a mask in public, INCLUDING make-believe superheroes, is grounds for a tazing in my book.

Hit the jump for the ‘WTF was that’ video. View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome

NO NO NO: Cloth-Climbing Robotic Cockroach

FILED IN Entertainment No Comments

You know what’s a good idea? Looking both ways before crossing a street. You know what’s a terrible idea? Developing a robotic cockroach that can climb up pant legs. *scratching* Great, now I’m gonna think I have phantom bugs on me all day. And, God willing, now you will too. ;)

This six-legged successor to UC Berkeley’s DASH scampers not just horizontally, but vertically — so long as the material it’s climbing is cloth. All motion is handled by the bot’s front four legs, while the rear two provide stabilization. The CLASH is able to adhere to cloth because its feet have small claws that allow it to grip the fabric, while its appendages scurry about at up to 34 strides per second.

Did you notice something missing from the quote I used? Exactly, ANY REASONABLE EXPLANATION WHY THE F*** SOMEONE WOULD MAKE A CLOTH-CLIMBING COCKBOT ROBOROACH. Remember folks: just because you can is probably the worst reason to do anything. God, go play video games or something, shit!

Hit the jump for a short but worthwhile demo of the last thing you’ll ever feel crawling up your leg. View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome
