This is the most horrifying ad ever. It’s for the Playstation 3, done by the geniuses at TBWAWien in Vienna, Austria. I don’t know if it ever ran anywhere, but it’s definitely a legit Sony advertisement. You don’t want to see it, trust me. Look, I won’t even tease it, I’ll tell you what it is so you don’t have to look at it. It’s a guy who has a thumb for a penis. There, I told you what it is and now you won’t have to look for yourself. But you will, won’t you? And you’ll regret it. But I warned you. Never say I didn’t warn you. And yes, this is NSFW if you haven’t figured that out already.
Update: Sony states this isn’t an official ad, so it might be a concept whipped up by TBWA. We’re looking into its actual origin and will let you know.

phonetag.jpgPhoneTag, the gang who turns voicemail into text, has “hacked” Google’s GrandCentral. The service that consolidates all of your phone numbers into one is useful for people on the go, but its voicemail system is clunky, especially for those needing fast access to messages. That’s what makes this hack so clever.

When you sign up for PhoneTag, which formerly went by the incredibly nerdy name SimulScribe, you get a phone number to add to your GrandCentral account. When you miss a call, PhoneTag picks it up and records the message. The speech is converted to text, which is then sent to you via e-mail or text message, along with an audio attachment of the voicemail—two things Grand Central doesn’t do. If you add your contact list to your PhoneTag account, the messages will appear from the senders so you can reply through e-mail right away. PhoneTag is free for a month, and plans range from $0.35/message to $30/month for unlimited messages. [PhoneTag]

A newly published patent application from Nikon has revealed plans for an new viewfinder technology involving a small display screen that can be viewed within the optical viewfinder. The photographer could switch between the optical image and digital display for a number of reasons, the most notable being the capability to enable a wide viewing angle when zoomed in on a subject.

nikon-vf-side.jpgAs you can see from the image at the top of the post, the digital display shows a wide angle image while a centered frame illustrates the viewing area provided by the lens. The patent also illustrates that this wide preview mode would be accessed via a button put near the lens mount and that it will most likely show up on DSLRs—whether that means high end models only remains to be seen. However, as with all patent applications, there’s no guarantee it will ever see the light of day. [Photography Bay]

When you have been rouging it where showers are hard to come by, you’ll be happy to to have a Universal Shower Diffuser close at hand. Basically,the device attaches to the top of a standard PET water bottle and restricts the flow of water so that it can be dispensed like a shower head when squeezed. Just make sure you don’t use that bottle you took a leak in during the vehicle ride—unless you are into that sort of thing. Available for around $50. [Made in Design via Swissmiss via Likecool]
