Nothing screams hipster like anything from “Juno”, most notably her iconic hamburger phone. Now, you too can haz Juno hamburger, if you are ready and willing to transform your iPhone into a hamburger phone. Its creator, Karen, wanted to be Juno for Halloween, and came up with the crafty idea to burger up her Iphone to really complete the costume. “I try not to be TV or movie characters for Halloween too often, but when I came up with this idea I couldn’t resist.” said Karen, the iBurger’s creator. “I thought it would be fun to turn my iPhone into the hamburger phone made famous by ‘Juno’.” The step-by-step…

Nepali telecom company Ncell touted its new setup at the base camp of Mount Everest. This means Everest trekkers can now feed on sweet 3G broadband internet while on the slopes of the world’s tallest mountain. “Today we made the (world’s) highest video call from Mount Everest,” Ncell chief Pasi Koistinen told reporters in Kathmandu, referring to the call made from 5,300 meters (17,388 feet), the area from where climbers begin the actual climb to Mount Everest. The company teamed up with the Swedish firm TeliaSonera to install 3G internet at Everest’s base camp in such a way that the entire mountain…

Jeff Bullas had a post up on his blog, Is Twitter About to Terminate Google Buzz, that discussed how Google Buzz is essentially dead. However, I don’t think Twitter killed Google Buzz. I think Google Buzz killed Google Buzz. I had high hopes for it. I really did. I didn’t see it as a Twitter killer or substitution for Twitter, but rather a more social version of the Google Reader Share with Note feature. I thought it might be a nice way to write a few lines about a blog post or news item you stumbled across. And with more blogs disabling comments, I thought it had potential to usher in a new era of blog commenting….

With Halloween a mere 36 hours away, sightings of unsavoury creatures of all manner will be on the rise, and it’s integral that the ballyhoo caused by their appearance is kept under control. Perhaps the greatest threat of all, though, is zombies. No, really. What, you thought it was vampires or something? Have you seen a zombie movie lately? They can run now, guys. If that isn’t terrifying, you do not exist. If you’re one of those zombie purists who don’t believe zombies can run, you’re going to be among the first to be eaten, and frankly, you just have fun with that. You’re on your own, hero. Luckily…

I’ve never liked Electronic Arts much, DRM-hawking corporate bad guys that we hardcore gamers make them out to be. But this is a sad day, indeed. BusinessWeek has reported that Zynga, makers of Farmville, have surpassed EA in worth, growing to 5.51 billion, next to EA’s 5.22 billion. Imagine that. EA is a gaming GIANT, arguably the most prolific, holding some of the world’s most legendary franchises (The Sims alone is the best selling PC game of all time), and Zynga has been able to surpass it all by selling pictures of wheat and cows to bored housewives. I dunno what else to say. Seems the end times…

Better wash up your loins, guys, ‘cuz they ’bout to get blown. For all the readers out there who work in 3D, you may or may not love the crap out of this: the world’s first (as far as I’m aware, anyway) spherical mouse. Though it’s probably bullspit for anything other than 3D design, the Axsotic Spheric Mouse is a much-needed relief for those designers sick of holding three keys just to rotate the camera. The device pans and rotates along three of your favourite axes, and apparently can zoom, although that might require the holding of keys anyway. Guess you can’t win ‘em all. Whether this makes a real difference…

I’ve been engaged in a hot debate over the last hour with a friend of mine over just what this is. Seems like Irish filmmaker George Clarke has discovered a time traveler in footage from the 1928 premiere of Charlie Chaplin’s The Circus. In the scene, the alleged time traveler walks across the screen, clearly speaking into… well, who knows? In 1928, there certainly weren’t any eletronic devices that portable, much less ones designed specifically for communication. It’s hard to believe, but after seeing the footage, it’s hard to believe anything else. Check out George’s video, and weigh in….

When Steve Jobs recently made an appearance on Apple’s earnings call, he – to put it mildly – caused quite a stir. He said 7″ tablets like RIM’s Playbook and the Samsung Galaxy Tab will be DOA. He argued that the fragmented nature of Android is “a nightmare”. Put in a more straightforward fashion, he smacked a lot of people down. Yet, many rushed to smack him in return. RIM CEO Jim Balsillie suggested that people will soon tire of Apple telling them what to think. A Tweetdeck developer, whom Jobs referenced when talking about Android’s fragmentation, responded with bewilderment, saying that they…

So, uh… hey, how you holdin’ up? Doin’ okay? You feelin’ alright today? Yeah? Bein’ strong? That’s a relief. Because I’m about to drop a hell of a bomb on you. The, um… the white iPhone 4 is missing. What? No, no, it’s not lost! We just… don’t know where it is, that’s all. Apple seems to have taken it down from the store, which is not good amidst rumours that it was to be canceled altogether. There isn’t even a placeholder anymore. It’s just… gone. Honestly, I don’t know why everyone and their dog has such a frothy mouth for the white iPhone 4. White tech never fares well, least of all white tech designed…

One of the deciding factors that made me go Blackberry instead of picking up an iPhone 4 was the tactile keyboard. I’m sorry, but there’s just no replacement for real buttons. I don’t care how swiftly you tapdance around that onscreen keyboard – the fact remains that it’s a f***ing screen. But maybe if I’d held out just a little longer, I could have gotten the tall glass of water in the iPhone desert that is this wicked rad flip out keyboard from ThinkGeek. The TK-421 (catchy name, guys) needs no explanation, so I won’t insult you by giving you one. Just bask in its rad, maybe put on a little music. It’s Bluetooth…
