I have seen Google Street View drivers catch some crazy things. They have images of people committing all sorts of crimes like drug deals and robberies but, this street view cameraman definately takes the cake! This wonderful Google employee (who is clearly an amazing driver), decided to focus more on street photos and less on the deer/ driving his car and, you can imagine what the result was! However, if you can’t and had to see it like it did then click here. Load the main imagine, then click the white arrow button twice/three times to get up past the deer. then click the west orientation button. Do not say I didn’t warn you!

It doesn’t matter whether you’re into hardcore or casual.  I’m talking about gaming of course.  2009 has already brought some smash hit technology, thanks to CES, but what about for gaming?

The future of gaming is here people!  Thanks to the awesome people at Game Daily, we are able to take a peek at what the best of the gaming franchise has to offer.  They have compiled a list of awesome new hardware to add to your gaming collection.  I must admit, some are a bit too pricey for my blood, but I may look into the Nyko Wii Wand, because it looks hardcore!  The new “Wand” will use this thing called Trans-Port Technology, which sends commands and vibration through the bottom of the control.  This way you can add a pistol grip to the bottom for an even cooler experience for shooters.  This is just one example, I’m sure there will be a wide array of awesomeness to come from this.

The 3D Gamer Glasses are none other than the Nvidia GEForce 3D Vision.  They’re battery operated and play your video games in awesome 3D by using an infrared light that works for the TV and for PC.  I don’t know how it works, but I DO know that I may be willing to shell out the $199 to play all my games in 3D.  Depending if I win the lottery or not.

Now we come to the Coup Di Gras.  The Emperor “Scorpion” gaming station brought to you by Canada’s finest, NQ, includes a tilting chair, a 3 monitor-holding-stand, adjustable air lighting, adjustable air flow, a HEPA air filter—this thing does more than my car!  It costs more too!  This baby comes at a whopping $40,000!!!   

There’s a handful of these awesome gaming technologies that you should definitely check out at the Game Daily Gallery.  You guys think they’re worth it?

It finally looks like the iPod Touch has some competition with the ultra sexy Cowon S9. It’s been a while since I saw any PMP step up their game to even show any sign of competition with Apple, but Cowon is making its rounds. This PMP was set to release initially only in Korea, but since us American folk like us some sexy technology, they decided to send it our way.

Apart from its sexy sleekness, like a dark and mysterious seductress, the Cowon S9 has the specs to match. Here’s a little breakdown of the goods:

• 3.3″ AMOLED touch screen, 16 million colors, 480 x 272 pixels
• 500MHz dual-core processor
• DVD-quality MPEG4 and TV output (supports AVI and WMV)
• Bluetooth 2.0 with stereo headset support
• G-sensor accelerometer
• Extended battery (11 hours video and 55 hours audio)
• JetEffect 2.0 audio technology
• EQ Filter and stereo enhancement including BBE+, Mach3Bass, 3D Surround and MP enhance audio processing (Say What?!)

Sounds pretty sexy right? Well, as most sexy things that you feel like you can’t live without, it comes with a price. It’s a bargain for the 8GB model at $199.99, and the 16GB will run you a good $239.99. If you can’t find it in stores, I recommend hitting up eBay, Amazon, Newegg, or Jetmall. Anybody try this out yet?

Some guy has found a way to add the multi-touch feature for the G1, just like on the iPhone!

I remember when I had this phone in my hand and it felt flimsy and cheap. I seriously saw it as a sidekick for adults, so I stuck with my Blackberry. Man how I regret it! The G2 is looking pretty nice, but until then, these hacks are going to pave the way for G2 and its hackers, I mean “developers.”

The guy modified one of the Java system libraries on the phone, and demonstrates a full working multi-touch on a stock G1. If that wasn’t cool enough, he made a nifty video for you, and the developers to take note. If anyone else tries to do this, let me know how it went!

All kinds of crazy rumors are surrounding this years MacWorld conference…and today the latest rumor might just be the most exciting! Allegedly tomorrow a (Product)Red iPhone will be released. The phone is supposed to be exactly like the non-red ones but parts of the proceeds go to charity to help cure AIDS.

I totally want this phone! If I didn’t already have the first version of the iPhone, I would 100% get this phone not only because its red, but because its for a really good cause.

The AppleInsider blog released an article yesterday that “encourages” its owners to install anti-virus software. This upsets me for two reasons; one is because Apple always slams Windows for needing anti-virus software and second, the whole reason I even own an Apple is because it didn’t need anti-virus software installed!!

AppleInsider’s response to my two upsets are:

The posting isn’t necessarily a reversal of opinions for Apple, though it does reflect an overall softening of its opinions. While one of the first “Get a Mac” TV spots in 2006 made fun of Windows’ susceptibility to viruses and portrayed the Mac as near-immune, the current campaign doesn’t mention this point. The company’s current FAQ for curious switchers also simply says that Mac OS X “resists most viruses” and doesn’t make any blanket statements.

Then, today on the official Apple website under Mac OS:Antivirus Ulitiies the following is posted:

Apple encourages the widespread use of multiple antivirus utilities so that virus programmers have more than one application to circumvent, thus making the whole virus writing process more difficult.

I really am annoyed by this, and totally would have gotten the most decked out SICKEST Windows computer for the same price I paid for my base model MacbookPro. URGH x 1,000!

Some of the most helpful and popular applications that you can install on your iPhone are based around food. Two of the most popular are UrbanSpoon and Yelp. UrbanSpoon helps you locate restaurants and Yelp shows you user reviews and such. So it really was only a matter of time before a company decided to fill the gap that was missing on our iPhone: making the reservation. This is where the popular online reservation site OpenTable.com came into play.

Today OpenTable.com launched an iPhone application that not only shows you restaurants near you, but also lets you book a table without calling and waiting on hold. According to TechCrunch:

You are shown only nearby restaurants, and cannot filter by type of cuisine or refine your search as easily as you can on the Website. But the app is perfectly functional. The key is that it only shows you nearby restaurants that have open tables for the time when you want to eat.

Best of all the application is free!
