As if mechanical-digital watches weren’t already cool enough, Harry Winston has created a watch that uses mechanical pixels to display the time at the push of a button, and called it the Opus 8.
Even the back features a second time display, with a power reserve indicator to tell you when your awesome is running low.
Only 50 were made, and apparently they all sold before the watch was even unveiled, so if you want one, then get the house on the market and start checking eBay, because these aren’t exactly going to be cheap.
Sean Cooper’s Boxhead: The Zombie Wars game is the fifth in the Boxhead series, and adds new graphics, new enemies (lots of them) and base construction, complete with turrets and barricades.
Because of this new base construction function, you can now play either offensively or defensively, depending on your preferred style of gameplay.
When Microsoft released the Zune, they had plenty of time to learn from Apple’s mistakes and eat the iPod’s lunch by designing a superior product that fixed any of the iPod’s faults; right?
Apparently not, as Crave’s Molly Wood shows (in great detail) with the five reasons her Zune is dead to her.
From poor software and music categorization to tangled headphones, worthless wireless, and the unforgivable “erase all of her server-stored music” feature, it’s a must read for anyone that’s thinking of breaking rank and going with the ‘soft’s player.
A product that lets women pee while standing up sounds like an odd contraption, but when you can pull pranks like the following, its benefits become clearer:
If you’ve ever wondered what the offices of your favorite companies look like, then check out the Office Shapshots blog.

Last year, the MacUpdate Promo included $234.80 worth of Mac software, including Forklift, RapidWeaver, Swift Publisher, MemoryMiner, Yep, XMIND, iStabilize, PulpMotion, and more.
This year, the MacUpdate Promo is called the Parallels Bundle, and features $474.76 worth of Mac software for just $64.99, including Hazel, Art Text, MenuCalendarClock, Leap, StoryMill, Typinator, DVDRemaster Pro, Sound Studio, BannerZest, and lastly, Parallels Desktop.
Since Parallels Desktop normally sells for $79.99 by itself, this could turn out to be quite the deal if the unlock point is met.
Fear not though, as last year, over 27,000 bundles were sold, meaning that this year, they “fully expect to reach all 3 unlock milestones during the 2-week span of this event”.
If you are among the 126 million people that have owned a Nokia 3310 cell phone at some point in their life, chances are pretty good that you’ve also played Snake on that phone as a way to pass the time.
However, you probably never played Snake like this guy:

A TOTO HET toilet can save up to 24,655 gallons of water per year, but how do you show that visually so that you can truly grasp what a number like that means?
That’s the question that SKAGGS faced for their latest photo shoot, and the answer involved “2 months of planning, 1 trip from El Paso to Dallas and back, 1,000 - 5 gallon water bottles, 3 trucks, 2 tractors, 1 buggy and a whole lot of man (and woman) power”.

As Earth Day winds to a close, it’s time to start thinking about what you can actually do to save the planet.
To help you out, Wire & Twine put together a list of 50 Ways to Help the Planet, and in case you’re the forgetful type, they also created a shirt with an icon for each of the 50 ways to help you remember.
Suggestions include not pre-heating the oven, hang drying your clothes, showering with a partner, and going to the car wash, so it’s a list of things that you can actually do without drastically changing your lifestyle, which means you’re more likely to follow through with them.
