Researchers at Chicago's Northwestern University have developed a system that calls on users' experience to provide warnings on Internet traffic problems. The system would give a heads up about slow response times, even where there is no central management system.
We love technological advancement, but there is something that just feels wrong about TAB Austria's Virtual Pinball machine. Sure, the six different animated games offer more variety than your conventional machine, and the 42" plasma display looks a damn site sexier than the usual mechanized pinball floor, but these things were never meant to be altered. No, not even the promise of online tournaments and user upgradeable games can sway us.
Our minds are made up by the way that we feel... so if you really love us, come on and let it show. Gosh, Wet Wet Wet were great. Anyway, if you are partial to TAB's Virtual Pinball machine, it has a ten-week wait time and the price is only available by request, which, unlike Wet Wet Wet, is not so fantastic.

I remember from my boarding school days, how envious I was of the kids who managed to scramble a chair our couch into their rooms. The only problem was lugging something as big as a love seat all the way from eastern Pennsylvania down to Maryland.
The Ozone Inflatable Lounger is the perfect solution for that problem. Not only is it easy to transport since it's inflatable, but also easy to move, inexpensive ($57), comfortable, and has built in speakers. Best of all the speakers draw their power your DMP of choice or even a TV, so there's no need to use up one of those oh so precious power outlets. – Ben Longo

After last Friday's PS3 launch, the world (Sony's idea of the world that is) finally got a taste of what the PS3 is ultimately about. With the ho-hum reception the system has been getting over the weekend, analysts around the world can finally get an idea of how the next gen battle will shape up. Credit Suisse, an ultimate non-fanboy (if they chose wrong, they can stand to lose a lot of money), has decided to upgrade Microsoft's (MSFT) stock.
Credit Suisse cited Microsoft's improving position in digital entertainment as a key reason why they chose to upgrade the stock to "outperform" from neutral; Credit Suisse expects Microsoft stocks to improve by 20%. Digital entertainment -- officially known in Microsoft as the Entertainment and Devices Division -- includes the Xbox 360.
While we can only postulate what part of digital entertainment is responsible for the upgrade, the Xbox 360 leads the pack; it is singled out in Microsoft's annual report as the key reason why the division posted more than $1 billion in revenue growth fiscal year 2005 to fiscal year 2006. Could the lack of post-launch PS3 love be the reason Microsoft is getting the thumbs up from a major financial institution?

In yet another sign that the entire media industry is completely Obama-dependent, the President-elect's magic touch is being felt in book sales. Obama's mere mention on Sunday's 60 Minutes that he was reading a book about FDR without "specifically naming a title or author," reports the New York Times, caused all hell to break loose. Which book could it be? Publishers have gone insane, re-printing FDR books that they'd published and scrambling to see if theirs was really the book that Obama had mentioned. He's being compared to the new Oprah for his new influence on the book-buying habits of middle America, which is normally hard-pressed to read the back of a cereal box. Can a Presidential Book Club be the bailout the book industry is looking for?
The publishers and authors of at least three such books that could fit Mr. Obama’s description each spent much of Monday wondering whether they had just gotten a plug from the soon-to-be leader of the free world.
The actual books—Jonathan Alter's “The Defining Moment: F D R’s Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope” and "F.D.R” by Jean Edward Smith, have seen a big jump in their Amazon rankings already.
Alter's book is #277 in all books and #2 in nonfiction politics, and Smith's book is now #459 in all books and #2 in biographies/memoirs. Even the book about FDR that Obama wasn't referring to, Anthony Badger's FDR: The First Hundred Days, has jumped to #838.
More proof that the entire world is depending on Obama to save everything, including the book industry.
Apparently, and this was news to everyone at Gizmodo, smoking is bad for you. To help break "bad" habits, we have the Coughing Screaming Ashtray.
In addition to its lung-inspired design, the $9.99 ashtray coughs and screams whenever a cigarette is placed inside. But we don't understand how that function promotes quitting smoking, as it seems more to deter the use of ashtrays instead. Maybe we need lighters that make fart noises, releasing large, noxious amounts of methane gas. Now that would make people laugh AND save lives. Get it? Farting is funny. – Mark Wilson

Welcome back to Jericho. Population: You! And a dozen others who are dumber than a box of hair. The Previously On Jericho scenes inform us that NUCLEAR BOMBS HAVE DESTROYED HALF THE COUNTRY! Um, haven’t we picked up on that by now? I mean, no one is tuning in to Jericho expecting to see a Biblical-themed sitcom. (What is the deal with Moses?!) Anyway, last week everyone became suspicious of the Shady Black Family that suddenly moved to town, Jake and Heather shared a powerfully bland kiss, Mayor McCheese went into shock, and Jake and Eric ran off to find him some drugs that would save his life and, presumably, his delicious sesame seed toppings.
Join Kris Foley, Hagan Mitchell, Stash, The Riv, Steve Lange, Greg Brewer, and myself as we take you along for the ride through Penticton and Kamloops. Much thanks to Rob at Freeride for putting us up and taking the boys out on the boat for a little wake surfing sesh. Gratitude also goes to Aran from No. 1 for bringing us up to Kamloops, and to old friend/B.O.S. affiliate Chad Hampton for housing our group of scoundrels. Now sit back and enjoy watching what we got up to during this leg of our epic ride through western Canada.

Are you the proud owner of 42 inches of unoccupied outdoor space that you would like to fill with LCD monitor? Then pay off that credit card balance, because here comes your next splurge purchase: the Sanyo CE42LM4WPR 42-inch weather-resistant LCD. If you often find your monitors being pelted by blowing dirt, snowflakes or pressurized water streams, the IP56 standard weatherproofing on Sanyo's new baby will ease your worried mind. While I foresee limited home user application (maybe a TV atop the Jacuzzi), I can see universities and cities selling ad space on outdoor screens at bus stops, municipal parks and other high-traffic areas in the near future.
If you want your next monitor to be element-proof, expect to shell out enough cash to buy three of the non-weatherproof model. – Karson Thompson

Are you an "artist" who likes to wear all black, and because of being so spiritual/misunderstood/poor refuses to go to normal store to buy furniture? You might want to check out the Sketch Furniture Project by FRONT.
Using motion capture, a computer records your pen strokes and places them real-time within the scene. This motion capture is finalized as a 3D image file and then sent through the Rapid Protyping process. A laser hardens liquid plastic 0.1mm at a time, and in a few hours you have a chair that will shock/impress/probably kill your friends. Awesome. Hit the jump for pictures and a video of the entire process. And maybe some brilliant commenter can explain to us why the girl on the right draws slower than her sketch appears...maybe the motion cap is feeding faster than the video? – Mark Wilson Thanks Mr. JustElite!

Tim Burton likes to keep it all in the family. After news broke that Crispin Glover--an outsider--had been cast in Burton's upcoming 3-D version of ALICE IN WONDERLAND, Burton went ahead and cast frequent collaborator Christopher Lee in a role that has not yet been confirmed. The buzz is that Lee will play either the Caterpillar, King of Hearts, or The White Knight. I think he should just go Eddie Murphy on this thing and...
