Halloween fog machines? Been there, inhaled that. Bubble machines? Still pretty cool, soap in the eye or not. But what if humanity had created a machine that combined the venerable fog machine with bubbles? Interest piqued? Consider it done! According to the Bubble Fogger's Amazon listing, this marvelous contraption creates fog solution-filled bubbles and casts them out into the Halloween kitsch-f...

We've been kind of laser crazy here at Gizmodo lately, and with good reason: Deployable solid state lasers could be landing in military hands as early as 2009. We simply wish to be at the forefront of the pew pew revolution, with the hope that any burning sensation our writers feel in the near future is the result of an unforgettable night out, not a disgruntled weapons grade laser system operator...

Ars Technica is now backtracking from its initial prediction that iTunes 8 won't be a hit in Apple's Let's Rock September 9 event. Not only iTunes 8 will be available then, but they say Apple will also release the iPhone 2.1 update that in theory will fix its huge password security flaw. Jacqui hints that the 2.1 update will have new secret features that are absent from the beta. Repeat with me: C...

Boy, I'll be there are a lot of hungover 'Eers fans this morning. I was hoping last week was just a fluke but ECU has done it again rolling over their second ranked team in a row, this time with authority. They took down #8 West Virginia in an alarming fashion with a 24-3 win and possibly sending them into the top 25. With the toughest two teams on their schedule behind them (Virginia Tech and WVU...

Zaun's game winner came after an exhausting round of extra innings, bringing the game to a close in the 13th...

Forget about Ocho Cinco. The newest rebels: The Cuba Cinco. As the US Soccer Team beat Cuba in a World Cup qualifying match last night, they had some special fans in the crowd cheering them on. Five US soccer fans chose to ignore the government's ban on travel to Cuba and went to support their team by traveling through another country. “It was pretty much a no-brainer,” said one who travels to ev...

In order to maximize muscle gains you need to take a well-deserved break every now and then.
Specifically I’m talking about talking a full week away from working out altogether.
This principle literally means that you do less and gain more! This isn’t wishful thinking, there are very good reasons as to why you need to rest your body completely once in a while.

Many of my readers have asked me to create a 3-day workout routine for them. For some people a 5 day routine just doesn’t fit into their schedule.
So, is it possible to build muscle in just 3 days a week instead of 5? Yes, but we have to do a few things differently.
But first, we’ll still be adhering to the following principles:
Keeping workouts short
6-9 sets per body part

And so it did for Rudy Garcia-Tolson in the 200-meter individual medley swim on Sunday in Beijing. Garcia-Tolson, a native of Bloomington, Calif., set a new all-time mark at 2:38.70 to win his preliminary hea...

Filed under: Dexter, WGA Strike, Reality-FreeI'm always fascinated by the ad campaigns that the networks come up with to sell or promote TV shows. I remember in 2004 when Fox debuted House, they created a magazine insert DVD of the pilot. It was a great way to get TV fans to try the show, and I -- for one -- bought Entertainment Weekly and watched the show. Giveaways are one way to drive awareness...

I'm a fan of game-music, music inspired by games, and music made by games. It's all good, or at least it can be. So my interest was piqued when reader Jim emailed to let us know that indie bands Kaki King and The Mountain Goats had gotten together to record a six-song EP entitled Black Pear Tree. Among the songs can be found Nintendo-inspired goodness "Thank You Mario But Our Princess Is in Anoth...
