Getting cozy with the fishes. [Underwater hotel]

Getting cozy with the fishes. [Underwater hotel]

To some, dining in the exclusive underwater 12-seat restaurant at the Hilton Maldives Resort would have been enough. But for some, “enough” is never….enough. In honor of the hotel’s fifth anniversary, the currently famous 12-person underwater restaurant is being transformed into a 2-person underwater uber exotic suite… I don’t know what you would call “cool”, but waking up in the morning and seeing the sunlight filtering...

PC take a dump? Filler ‘er up…with fish. [PC Aquarium]

PC take a dump?  Filler ‘er up…with fish. [PC Aquarium]

Ok, I officially want a dead computer now. To some, such a dream sounds ridiculous as a dead computer is pretty much a useless computer. That is, unless you get creative and turn that busted piece of silicon and plastic into something unique. What exactly is “unique” about a reincarnated PC carcass you ask? How about an aquarium?

Next, he routed heating tubes through the light mounts to suck up any excess...

Building on your geeky streak of nerdy decor with the Floppy Disc Pillows and the Keyboard Rubik’s Cube, it’s time to go one step further. OK, several steps further with the Coffee Table Aquarium. As the name implies, this coffee table houses aquatic life in it’s completely transparent base, offering up a pretty sweet look at the little creatures swimming around in their little home. A word from manufacturer Hammacher Schlemmer perhaps? The tank rests on...

UK Gov’t: “IE 6 exploits? Psh, IE 6 is the bomb.”

UK Gov’t: “IE 6 exploits?  Psh, IE 6 is the bomb.”

Oh geeze. This morning we have another example of government showing their gross incompetence when it comes to anything digital. After the big Google hack debacle, Google as well as several other large institutions and companies have come forward, speaking out against IE 6 in particular, warning of the massive risk you take when using such an old and security ridden browser. Some have even gone as far as to call out any version of IE as a “bad choice”. For...
