SOLD: First 103-Inch Plasma, to NBC Meatheads

Geeks, we lost. It reminds me of wedgies and having lunchroom meatloaf dumped on my head, but the first two Panasonic 103-inch plasmas were just sold to NBC for use on the set of Football Night in America. No, the first thing to run on these TVs won't be Xbox. The set, with a fully HD, 1920 by 1080 resolution screen, a 5000:1 contrast ratio, will first run the live version of Madden. The TV still has the screen real estate equivalent to four 50-inch plasmas, or a queen-sized bed. More »

Toilet Golf, For Saving Par while Dropping a Dookie

I guess for some people, pooping is a pretty boring ordeal. Personally for me, I have the time of my life while taking the Browns to the Super Bowl. Sometimes I make it a game, like race the clock, etc. Enough about my fecal fun. More »

Philips Prestigo Universal Learning Remote

Looking more like a magician's wand than a remote, the Philips Prestigo—hey, someone there thought so too—has a touch-screen LCD and a rotary dial on its face to let you point and click your way to TV bliss. The LCD only lights up the appropriate buttons for the device you're controlling, so you won't get a "DVD EJECT" button when you're on TV mode. More »
