This is the incredibly ridiculous Russian 'Sberbank Visa Infinite' credit card. It's made of pure gold and has 26 diamonds in it. It makes me hate wasteful rich people even more than I did before, which was already a lot. The card costs $100,000 to obtain, $65,000 of which g... / Continue →

Scientists have created a hard drive out of sapphire and etched with platinum that will allegedly store data for over a million years. That's a long time. The drive was created so that governments can keep long-lasting records of where they've buried nuclear waste, that way w... / Continue →

This is a video of a robotic trashcan on wheels that moves to catch everything you throw at it. That way you score a basket every time and don't feel like such a CLUMSY LOSER. Sure it would be way cheaper to roll your office chair over there and pick it up, but who wants to b... / Continue →

So apparently Nissan is getting into the iPhone case business after inventing a paint for its vehicles back in 2008 that "self-heals" after being scratched (video demo after the jump). Because God forbid your iPhone CASE gets a f***ing scratch in it. That -- that might just be... / Continue →

THe e-Urinal is a terribly named conceptual pisser by Royce Zhang that has sensors capable of measuring your body's most important health acronyms like PH/SG/URO/BLO/WBC/PRO/GLI/BIL/KET. Granted I have no clue what any of those are, or if it's even possible to measure them mea... / Continue →

PR2, the electricity-stealing, pool-hustling, beer-fetching, male-pleasuring, cookie-baking, grocery-packing robot can now pick up dog turds. Possible to make you cookies with later. DUM-DUM-DUM! While you can't hear it in the video, Graspy begins its task by declaring in a ... / Continue →
