We’re depressing this is foregather a concept. This creation should be prefabricated correct now. And anyone that wants to beam the smokers in their chronicle a diminutive communication should acquire them and remuneration them as presents. Or the rattling misanthropical carriage crapper acquire them himself. Either way, we’re totally range a activity for these.

The methodicalness is from R.J. painter Ukraine. Yeah, we wondered most that conceive likewise and whether it was some category of pun. But unless it’s every an impact joke, it seems to be the impact of digit Richard book Reynolds. We’re effort creative here and perception the stylemark advise lawyers in the Negro already if this ever takes off…

We’ve been hearing about this BlackBerry Magnum since April, but it’s only now that a proper image with it has appeared on the web.

It’s said that the Magnum will be RIM’s first smartphone to have both a hardware QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen display (480 x 320 pixels). It should also feature 3G, and probably many other advanced capabilities.

Unfortunately, the person who took the picture of BlackBerry Magnum wanted to make a joke and literally put a Trojan Magnum condom over the smartphone’s display. So, yeah, we can’t actually see its display:

What we can see, though, is Rogers Wireless’ logo on the Magnum, which means that the largest Canadian carrier will soon release it, probably at about the same time with AT&T, which will obviously launch it in the US.

For the moment, we don’t know when exactly RIM wants to officially announce the BlackBerry Magnum, but let’s hope that it will happen this summer.

Being from the US myself, I don’t always pay the most attention to what’s going on in the rest of the world. Apparently over in Europe frosted incandescent bulbs are going to be banned as of September of this year. This means that if you’re still wanting to buy the cheap incandescent bulbs, you have to see that blinding light given off from the filament. The point of the ban is that people would rather switch to more energy efficient lighting than get stuck with the brighter bulb.

For all of you crazy rebels that don’t feel like buying those fancy new bulbs, there is a solution. Light bulb condoms. That’s right, the same things that prevent babies can solve your lighting problems. I really wish this were some sort of joke, but this is exactly what Europeans are facing if they want lights that are actually bright when they first turn them on (but aren’t blindingly so). So far this looks like a concept, so after September you’re going to be out of luck.

GM and Segway’s joint venture is probably best described as a rickshaw without all the charm. The self-balancing Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility Project (P.U.M.A.) can reach top speeds of 35 MPH, has a lithium battery that lasts up to 35 miles with a single charge, and features vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication for potentially reducing the number of accidents. No word on when or if this’ll actually go into production but it’s expected to be priced at just 25% that of a regular automobile. Hit up the read link for more pics, including a concept model that’s just a teensy bit more reasonable. We’ll be at the launch event tomorrow to see it for ourselves and make sure it’s not all some bizarre dream.

When we posted about the Tauntaun Sleeping Bag on April 1, a couple of you mentioned that April Fool’s joke product or not, you’d really, really like one. Turns out you aren’t alone, and ThinkGeek is taking notice:

ATTN Tauntaun Fanatics! Due to an overwhelming tsunami of requests from YOU THE PEOPLE, we have decided to TRY and bring this to life. We have no clue if the suits at Lucasfilms will grant little ThinkGeek a license, nor do we know how much it would ultimately retail for. But if you are interested in ever owning one of these, click the link below and we’ll try!

There’s certainly some precedent for this; last year, after pranking everyone with a personal sound track shirt on April 1, ThinkGeek ended up producing them. You can sign up here to be notified if the Tauntaun sleeping bag ever comes to pass, but you’ll better believe you’ll see it right here if it happens.

No, this isn’t an April Fool’s joke. President Obama met today at Buckingham Palace with the Queen, and our forward thinking commander-in-chief brought along a little tech for gifting purposes. Obama presented Elizabeth II with an iPod containing video from her 2007 visit to the States. In return, the first family received what is apparently a standard present for visiting dignitaries to the Palace — a silver-framed photo of the Queen and her husband. At a glance, it seems like Obama has a thing for gadgets (and related media); he recently handed off a set of DVDs featuring classic American films to Prime Minister Gordon Brown… who was unable to play them due to incorrect region encoding. Regardless, the Queen appears pleased with the music player, telling the President during their 25 minute tea that she “Finally has something to listen to [her] Pantera records on.”

The jet-mounted laser anti-missile system, brainchild of Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and the US Air Force, has been an ongoing project for quite some time. Well, it’s progressed into a final test phase, as evidenced by a new video, which shows the plane strapped with a pilot-controlled laser which is able to intercept missiles significantly earlier than other existing anti-missile tech. The project has plans to continue testing throughout this year, but will also need to be approved by the Obama administration if it is to come to fruition. Feel free to insert obligatory Dr. Evil joke in comments. Check out the video after the break, but fair warning: it autoplays.
