(Credit: BraDryer.com)I have friends who are girls. As girls, they tend to have boobs. And because of this they wear bras. Having dated girls (I know!), I’ve observed how frequently girls sometimes have to buy new bras, theirs getting bent out of shape, and the silk getting …
I was never much of a fan of music videos or MTV. I couldn’t understand why anyone would want to watch a band act out a silly story or lip-sync to a make-believe “performance.” Why not just shoot the band playing for real in a studio?

While the rumors of a PSP2 and PSP Phone have calmed down of late, they’re never truly dead. According to a fluent Japanese speaker translating a Sony Japan job listing for GameSpot, the company is on the hunt for an “evaluator / assessor for a new game machine.” More specifically, that elusive machine is said to be a “part of the PlayStation or PSP series and their peripherals.” The listing goes on to state that the lucky winner will “be part of an advisory staff that will play PlayStation series software on this new machine and check its functionality,” and they’ll also be able to “test game machines not yet released or new functionality of PS3 peripherals before they are released.” From there, it’s up to your imagination to determine what exactly this could be alluding to, but we’re setting our expectations remarkably low as to not be disappointed.

Want to get your hands on Halo 3 as soon as possible? No problem…Microsoft just started accepting requests (click here to skip the splash screen) from people to test out Halo 3 Beta which will be available in the Spring of 2007. Not only do you get to play the game but you also get to be included in the development process. There are, however, some requirements that you have to meet before you register:
People who live in Europe will be able to register for the same Beta (that launches in the Spring) at a later date according to the site.
The real question is why has it taken so long to release Xbox’s “claim to fame” game? This thing should have been ready when the Xbox launched last year but somehow a closed Beta is finally popping up one and a half years later. I still only have the regular Xbox and Halo 1 and Halo 2 are definitely my favorite games, but I have not felt compelled to buy a new system as of right now. If Microsoft was really smart they would have Halo 3 ready for release when Nintendo and Sony launched their new systems, but they didn’t. All I have to say is that this game better be pretty darn amazing for taking this long to develop.

In the spirit of winter, we felt that Ben’s recent question about a camera fit for the slopes was just perfect. And if you’d like to toss out a warm and fuzzy question of your own, just send one to ask at engadget dawt com and keep tuning in.
“I’m going skiing over spring break, and I’ve been reading a lot on some of the newer waterproof, rugged cameras. There are just so many out there to choose from, I was wondering what you guys thought about some of the better ones.”
So, what camera should Mr. Ben procure in order to have worry-free shooting days at the slopes? He probably wouldn’t mind one that withstands minor bumps and bangs either, ’cause we all know what inevitably happens the first time down a new double black.

Ariel Waldman contributes Movie Gadget Friday, where she highlights the lovable and lame gadgets from the world of cinema.
We last left off Movie Gadget Friday on board the Icarus II in the near-futuristic film of Sunshine. This week we transition from space travel to a totalitarian, 20th century, terrorist-ridden society in Terry Gilliam’s Brazil. A hybrid between the sexy saxophone solos and gender role reversals of the 1980’s with the “Keep Calm and Carry On” culture of the 1940’s and 50’s, this film dabbles between reality and a dream-like state.
Cyborg Typewriter
This “handhold” device clamps around your hand and five fingers for allowing typing speeds upwards of 150 wpm. Wired between stereo headphones and a flat touch-sensor keyboard, the brace around the hand augments the user’s typing accuracy and pace. The exposed wires act as inputs from any user-received audio and mechanically command via electric impulses exact transcripts to be typed out. The system is spoken-language friendly and can determine onomatopoeias, thus eliminating Google-like “did you mean…?” behavior. While it may make a secretary job more efficient, we have to wonder if the inevitable constant hand cramps are worth it. More after the break.
