Thermaltake V1 CPU Cooler

Posted on the July 31st, 2008 under Hardware by Ryman

No, this isn’t an alien device. This is a new CPU cooler from Thermaltake. It is able to cool your unit by spinning from 1,300 RPM to 2,000 RPM. Useful if you are a heavy PC user and when you don’t have enough cash to buy an air conditioner for your room, but has $60 to get one of these.

The Psycho Shower Curtain

Posted on the July 31st, 2008 under Items by Ryman

This lovely (I don’t think that’s the appropriate term) shower curtain, mimics the scene from the classic Psycho move and almost any other slasher films. But that’s not all, it has a battery powered motion sensor which activates a woman’s scream whenever someone enters the bathroom. So every time you see this in your bathroom, just think it is just an image, that is until a real one comes along.

A price of $20 for your new shower curtain, or pull a prank on somebody else.

Are you knowledgeable of Microsoft Office icons? You can test your knowledge by taking this quick Icon IQ test from mentalfloss.com which includes 10 Microsoft’s Office icons.

Pringles Aren’t Potato Chips, what?

Posted on the July 18th, 2008 under Food by Ryman

A Britich judge has ruled that Procter & Gamble’s snacks are not potato chips, for tax purposes of course.

Heck, Pringles isn’t even “made from potato” (even though it is) for tax purposes:

Potato chips “give a sharply crunchy sensation under the tooth and have to be broken down into jagged pieces when chewed,” the Cincinnati-based company’s lawyers argued. “It is totally different with a Pringle, indeed a Pringle is designed to melt down on the tongue.”

Warren agreed. Pringles aren’t “made from the potato” for the purposes of the tax office’s exemption, he said. He didn’t say what Pringles are, other than that they’re tax-exempt.
