The problem with most touchscreen smartphones is that you need two hands to run them. This weird looking nose stylus solves that problem, by letting you peck away using your nose when your other hand is…uh…preoccupied.

For $150 million, you could take 750 trips to space with Virgin Galactic . Or you could take five separate trips to the ISS and do a spacewalk on each one. Or, you could spend it all in one go, and join the elite group of humans, only 24 in all, who have traveled around the moon.

The University of Pennsylvania decided to give a group of five mechanical engineering students a year, and what looks to have been a pretty significant budget (with the help of some sponsors), to design and build what has to be one of the most technologically sophisticated bikes in existence.

As Endeavour launches for the last time, it will be carrying an absurdly expensive particle detector along with it. The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer will mount on the ISS and search space for antimatter, dark matter, dark energy, and even stranger things, like strangelets.

Sauna Pants may look like a flotation device but there’s not gonna be anything bobbing around in a pool of sweat but your penis. I only bought a pair just because I’ve always wanted a pair of shorts that have to be plugged in. The temperature is adjustable from 95-160F and are supposed to help you lose weight, which makes sense because you’re going to end up sweating both balls off. For me that’s upwards of 40 pounds. For you? Nano-ounces. “There’s no such thing as a nano-ounce.” YOU SHUT UP. Allegedly there’s no such thing as wizards either but then how does TV work? “Are you seriously asking?” No, I know all about magic. Also: what makes women tick. “Clock parts?” I HAD A HUNCH! Hot Pants of the Day [geeks.thedailwh.at] Thanks to Mark, who loses weight the old fashioned way: cutting off limbs.

Here’s a fresh new idea for a bike lock: the TiGr. It’s a titanium “bow” that straps around your bike and secures it to anything nearby.

Pepsi plans to introduce a new line of touchscreen Pepsi machines that, not only serve cold beverages ( ? I like cold beverages ? ), but also help you interact with your friends by buying them sodas. Which, for the record — I AM NOT YOUR SUGAR DADDY. Get it? Because of all the sugar in soda! That’s why kids are so chubby. The new machines of course let you buy a beverage via a fancy animated UI, complete with swipe controls, but they also let you gift a Pepsi to a friend, or even a complete stranger through “Random Acts of Refreshment”. All you have to do is enter a friend’s name and cell phone number (I’m sure PepsiCo has NO plans to keep a database of such details) and they’ll receive a txt message with a special code that can be redeemed at any of the interactive machines. You even have the option of recording a 10-second personalized video message that will be played back when they redeem it. Or, you can send a caffeinated gift to a complete stranger in a different city if you’re feeling particularly philanthropic. Yeah, how about no. The only social networking Pepsi machine I need is one that can communicate with the vending machine next to it to choose the best snack to accompany my Mountain Dew. I kid, I kid. IT’S FLAMIN’ HOT CHEETOS, DERDER. Hit the jump for a video demo or something (I dunno, it looked boring so I skipped it).

Netflix is insanely popular, with up to 40% of U.S. bandwidth being sucked up by it most evenings. But is it curbing piracy, too?

Converse Japan is dropping two limited edition Chuck Taylors (black and white) to commemorate Mario’s 25th anniversary as a plumber (and a crooked one too — I think he stole the copper out of my walls!) No word on cost, but you know what they say: if you have to ask then there’s probably no price tag and the salesperson is gonna size you up and try to milk you for all you’re worth. Not from these golden teats you’re not! *lifting moob, trying to lick mipple* Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary Chuck Taylors. [albotas] Thanks to nathan, who claims he can dunk a basketball. Oh yeah? Well I could too if it weren’t for these sausage fingers!
