It’s really, really, funny.

See if you can get to 50m – there’s a hurdle.

Good running!

Google Out of Ideas for iPhone App?

It seems that Google is out of ideas for their iPhone application, Google Mobile, when they are struggling to find things to put in the “What’s new in this version” and resort to putting “Enhanced version number”.

This is serious gold…

Take a look for yourself:

What's New for the Google Mobile App?

Or, if you really don’t believe me, hit up the Google Mobile App page on the App Store here.

In any case, I managed to LOL. It’s good to know that these guys have a sense of humour.

See? I told you Nerf products were awesome!

The wild ‘n zany hackers over at ManaPotions have taken the Vulcan EBF-25 to heights that no one at Nerf could have ever imagined by transforming a relatively harmless foam dart gun into a bona fide chaingun. Post-hack, the weapon could fire “about as fast as a 7.62mm M60 Machine gun,” which — for those rusty on their ammunition specifications — equates to 500 rounds-per-minute. The entire mod is laid out in dangerous detail down in the read link, though even the creators admit that you’ll likely fry the motor and melt at least a few critical components after a fair amount of use. Check the vid just past the break for a scene sure to make your jaw drop.
