Seedy: An Optimus Prime Carved Watermelon
Author: Rod Sutherland
This is Optimus Prime carved into a watermelon. Or is it a watermelon carved into Optimus Prime? “Neither, that’s a cantaloupe.” Can’t elope?! But we love each other and our families are feuding! “Did you really just…I hope you feel shame for even typing that.” I do, I really do. For everything. BUT MOSTLY FOR JUST OWNING YOUR ASS WITH WORDS!
The Optimus Prime Watermelon Carving [obviouswinner]
Thanks to khz, who once filled a watermelon with moonshine and then took it to senior center picnic because he’s a terrible person.

PlayStation Vita out in October, says Blockbuster UK flyer
Author: Buck Howard
Blockbuster may have had its share of trouble here in the States, but that doesn’t mean its British brother isn’t doing well enough to have (and leak) a big-shot release date or two. According to a flyer brandishing the Blockbuster logo and that good ‘ol co.uk extension, the PlayStation Vita will land in the United Kingdom on October 28th. That’s ominously close to Halloween — not that we’re suggesting anybody is having pre-holiday PSV boot-shakes, or anything — and the flyer’s fall release prediction squares up nicely with Sony’s “end of 2011″ launch window. As always, we suggest taking rumors and leaks such as this with a grain of salt — but considering Sony’s sinkable record regarding loose lips, we’d understand a low sodium approach. Hit the break to get a peek at the Blockbuster UK flyer — ready and waiting for your judgement.

WD’s 9.5mm Scorpio Blue 1TB laptop hard drive gets benchmarked
Author: Randy Miller
These days, it’s hard to shake the urge to pop a solid state drive into your next laptop, but even if you’re down with dropping the requisite coin, the restrictive capacity choices may make it darn near impossible for pack rats to bite. For those fitting squarely into that category, there’s Western Digital’s newest laptop drive: the 9.5mm 1TB Scorpio Blue. It’s one of the first in this form factor (read: the one that slips into most everything smaller than a Clevo) to hit the 1TB milestone, and at just $ 99, it’s a veritable bargain. The benchmarking gurus over at Hot Hardware threw it through the usual gauntlet of tests, pitting it against a 500GB Scorpio Black and a 640GB Seagate Momentus. As you’d likely expect, the 1TB spinner bested the competition in SiSoftware, ATTO and CrystalDiskMark tests, though not by a tremendous margin. Still, taking performance up a notch while also boasting a full terabyte of space makes it somewhat of a no-brainer for capacity freaks, and you can hit the source for a barrage of charts proving as much.

Inhabitat’s Week in Green: photovoltaic trees, a mind-reading Prius bike and solar-powered garb
Author: Sriram Reddy
The summer sun shined a light on several breakthrough solar technologies this week at Inhabitat as Semprius unveiled a powerful micro photovoltaic cell that can fit on a pinhead, and MIT developed a solar power system that can produce energy without sunlight. We also spotted plans for a shape-shifting solar home with a perforated facade, a series of luminous photovoltaic trees that grow real plants, and Nuon unveiled its super aerodynamic Nuna6 solar-powered racer.
Speaking of green transportation, this week President Obama set a goal of 54.5 MPG for all US automakers, BMW unveiled its breakthrough i3 and i8 electric vehicles, and Toyota unveiled a mind-reading Prius bike that can shift gears with just a thought. We also showcased several incredible examples of vehicular architecture – including a prefab house made from recycled Hummers and a shipping container pool set on a barge that purifies water as it floats through france.
As temperatures continued to soar this week we brought you seven solar-powered wearables guaranteed to give you a charge, and we saw Japanese citizens turn to air-conditioned clothing to beat the heat during power shortages. We were also relieved to hear a Swiss study announce that cell phone use is not linked to brain tumors in kids, and we showed you the dizzying view from the world’s tallest tennis court, which is set atop the Burj al Arab in Dubai.

No Comments »Switched On: Desktop divergence
Author: Melissa Shroeder
Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology.
Last week’s Switched On discussed how Lion’s feature set could be perceived differently by new users or those coming from an iPad versus those who have used Macs for some time, while a previous Switched On discussed how Microsoft is preparing for a similar transition in Windows 8. Both OS X Lion and Windows 8 seek to mix elements of a tablet UI with elements of a desktop UI or — putting it another way — a finger-friendly touch interface with a mouse-driven interface. If Apple and Microsoft could wave a wand and magially have all apps adopt overnight so they could leave a keyboard and mouse behind, they probably would. Since they can’t, though, inconsistency prevails.
Yet, while the OS X-iOS mashup that is Lion exhibits is share of growing pains, the fall-off effect isn’t as pronounced as it appears it will be for Windows 8. The main reasons for this are, in order of increasing importance, legacy, hardware, and Metro.

Microsoft crowns 20 winners in Mango app contest, losers go home fruitless
Author: Katie Scott
We thought Mango’s nectar was already pretty damn sweet, but a group of young developers recently took up the challenge to make the next generation Windows Phone 7 experience even more delicious. Following up on last year’s ‘Rockstar’ competition, Microsoft asked students to submit Mango app prototypes via Twitter, with the promise of developers phones for the top entries. Among the top 20 #WPAppItUp submissions are a program that helps the colorblind figure out what shade of puce they’re peeping, and a sadistic alarm clock that requires users to solve puzzles before hitting the snooze button. Apparently, Microsoft still has 30 Windows Phones to give away, and is looking for young devs to offer up America’s next top Mango app. Submission guidelines can be found at the source link below.
[Thanks, E-Dan]

Shoot Me In The Face, Do It Now: Cosplayers Lip-Syncing To Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’
Author:
Hot on the costumed-heels of yesterday’s London cosplayers lip-syncing to that one booboo-ass song, here comes another, this time from the San Diego Comic-Con of cosplayers lip-syncing to an equally annoying ear-bleeder. The deeper meaning of a bunch of people dressed-up as things they’re not singing a song called ‘Born this Way’ being lost on me aside, that’s not what I came to talk about. I came to talk about the song itself. Now listen: I’m all for a “gay anthem”, but whatever happened to “we’re here, we’re queer, stop being such a stodgy bag of dipshit bigots”? Now that one, that one’s catchy.
Hit the jump for the ‘hey — nobody ever said cosplayers could lip-sync’. Also, a higher-res shot of two-face.

Logitech officially drops Revue price to $99 today, clarifies ‘more returns than sales’ remark
Author: Mark Jeffries
Google TV not worth 300 bones to ya? How’s about a cool Benjamin? As promised, Logitech has slashed the price of its Revue set-top box from $ 299 to $ 99 on its own site and at retailers like Best Buy, giving prospective customers something awfully tempting to consider alongside the prospect of running Honeycomb on their TV right away. Oh, and the much-reported nugget from its earnings about “returns exceeding sales”? It should probably be noted that wasn’t about returns from end users, which the company claims “have averaged at levels comparable to other Logitech products”, but from the distributors and retailers it sells most of its hardware to. So, you in, or are you still holding out for the 90 percent off sale that may or may not ever materialize?
