Because real baby actors are annoying to work with (moody, whining, will shit on set), an anonymous soap opera (please don’t say Days of our Lives ) recently had this animatronic robot baby commissioned for use in a scene. Hopefully the one where the couple finds out their baby is a robot and shoots it into the sun. “Like Superman?” No, his parents missed. Hit the jump for the last thing I’d ever want coming out of my vagina.

Because the world would cease turning if everybody didn’t find a way to cash in on the Iron Man franchise , RTC23 (that’s a brand?!) is now selling Iron Man branded televisions . Tempting, but I’m holding out for a Batman model. Billed as the “Ultimate Comic Fan’s TV” each set features the super hero branded into the lower corners of the screen’s frame, and an image of the character will appear on screen for 8 seconds every time you turn it on. Yeah, apparently that’s a ‘feature.’ The TVs are available in 22?, 32?, 42? and 55? sizes while LED backlit versions are limited to 40? and 46?. As for pricing, the standard sets start at $338.88 for the 22? model, while the 55? model is $1,988.88. And the 40? LED model is $1,698.88, or $1,988.00 for the 46?. Alternatively, spraypaint your existing television red and slap some Iron Man stickers on that bitch. Or don’t, I don’t care about your stupid television. But I do care about your smart-ass Blu-ray player. You know that that little hole in the disc tray? We’ve had relations. RTC23 Marvel Branded LCD HDTVs [ohgizmo]

This a computer model of Jesus’ face using information from the blood on the Shroud of Turin to create the image. He looks like somebody I know. The image has been created for the History Channel’s upcoming special, “The Real Face of Jesus,” which is set to air next week. Ray Downing, president of Studio Macbeth, explains how they recreated the “real” face of Jesus to the NY Post: “We ‘lifted’ the blood and isolated it [on the computer],” he said, ’so that would sit ‘in air’ [on a transparent background].” Interesting, Ray, but I’ve seen the “real” face of Jesus, and it didn’t require any technical computer mumbo-jumbo. No, it came to me in Flamin’ Hot Cheeto form and I ate the whole bag except for his face without getting diarrhea . There’s no doubt it was a miracle. The “Real Face of Jesus” (PHOTO) Revealed?! [postchronicle] Thanks to Pete, who once saw the face of God in a cloud before getting struck by lighting. Geez, you can’t look directly at him, Pete! Don’t you remember the Nazis in ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’?

You know that show The Soup that cuts down a day’s worth of teletubes to a 30 minute show? Well now there’s one for the interwebs. Web Soup premieres tonight on G4 at 9PM eastern and highlights the best shit on the internut. Plus, it’s partially written by Anticlown loyalist and all around captain badass Jonah Ray . Who, I can attest, once joked the tits off a witch. Now I know what you’re thinking — and no, I didn’t get paid for this. I’m just hoping that, if I play my cards right, Olivia Munn’s ass meets my hand. YOU WILL RETURN MY EMAILS! Official Site

Filed under: Aftermarket , Gadgets , Etc. , I.C.E. AT&T is starting to work with pockets of customers to test its CruiseCast satellite-based entertainment service before officially putting the TV/radio service on wide offer. When the whole clan is on the go, it may work to keep everyone calm and quiet, and when your Prevost motor coach is loaded up with everything else, you might as well go for the TV service, too. Truckers sticking DBS dishes on their rigs would likely be pleased with the CruiseCast system, especially since AT&T is using some new technology developments by RaySat that defeats the typical issues with line of sight obstacles and underpasses. For comparison’s sake, Sirius is cheaper and offers much more variety than AT&T’s 20 music/talk radio stations, but their optional Backseat TV service only offers three television channels, and they are all geared for the kiddies. Conversely, AT&T’s CruiseCast hardware must be professionally installed and will set you back $1,299, and the monthly payment is $28. Once the service is available for all customers in early June, they’ll have 22 television channels to choose from. All that for the price of a used car and more than $300 bucks a year in subscription costs. Official press release posted after the jump.

Filed under: Gadgets , Etc. , Euro , Tech Google has already faced plenty of issues with its Street View technology, not the least of which has been angry Japanese citizens and invasion of privacy lawsuits from Americans whose driveways were mistaken for a roads. Beyond these unforeseen issues, there’s also the rather obvious problem of taking images of places a Chevy Cobalt just can’t reach. Consider that problem (at least partially) solved with the new Google Trike. The three-wheeled, human-powered overgrown tricycles carry 250 pounds of ballast in the form of “a mounted Street View camera and a specially decorated box containing image collecting gadgetry,” says the internet giant. All that extra heft reportedly requires a “specially trained super fit” rider. Google’s new trikes will be deployed first in Genoa, Italy, this spring. Assuming that launch proves successful, Google will send its pedal-powered cameras to the United Kingdom, where they’ll point their lenses towards a slew of famous British landmarks. Have a good one in mind? Google says its open to suggestions and will be working with VisitBritain to pick the most desirable locations to shoot. To assuage those averse to getting their pictures taken, Google promises to “apply our face-blurring and license plate blurring to all these images to protect people’s privacy.” [Source: Google via Wired ] Continue reading Google Street View switching to trikes for roads less traveled Google Street View switching to trikes for roads less traveled originally appeared on Autoblog on Thu, 21 May 2009 08:58:00 EST.
