Hasta La Gadget!

By adding images from Disney’s newest 3D tentpole film you can single-handedly raise your property value. Or geek out. Either one.

If there’s one thing that Steve Jobs hates more than Adobe’s Flash, it’s naked people on his beautiful devices. The executive has infamously cracked down on the presence of adult material in the iPhone’s App Store, even going so far as to censor the worlds “boobs” and “booty.”

Of course there are workarounds. For starters, there’s the fact that any device that can freely access the Internet freely can freely access porn. A number of sites have even gone so far as to optimize adult content for the device.

And then there’s the FleshDrive, creators of the adult-oriented flash drive of the same name.

Says the company’s VP, Michael Gruosso, “In a world where a certain company President has looked down upon the adult industry, it is the consumer who decides if they want to watch porn on their iPads. It was important to our company that we developed a creative way to make this happen.”

The device works with the iPad Camera Connection Kit (“also a great item for your digital cameras,” says FleshDrive, enthusiastically), letting users transfer smut directly to the tablet.

The content works without an Internet connection, obviously, which should make it great for watching hardcore pornography on the bus or a plane. “Take the convenience of the iPad with The FleshDrive and you have a porn match made in heaven,” says Gruosso.

I must have missed that part during Sunday school.

A Notre Dame junior died yesterday afternoon, while filming a practice for the school’s football team. Twenty-year-old Declan Sullivan was standing atop a portable lift, 50 feet above the field.

Sullivan was clearly concerned by the precariousness of the situation–something he expressed on his Twitter account. The lift collapsed, due to strong gusts. Experts don’t recommend using the device with winds higher than 25 mph–the wind that day was 60 mph. CBS affiliate WSBT called Sullivan’s final tweets “prophetic.”

At 3:22 PM, he tweeted, “”Gusts of wind up to 60 mph. Well today will be fun at work. I guess I’ve lived long enough.”

At 4:06 PM, “”Holy s***. Holy s***. This is terrifying.”

Forty-five minutes later, the lift came crashing to the ground. Sullivan was rushed to the hospital , where he later died. Sullivan’s Twitter account is now locked down.

With meetups and Engadget Shows and all the high fashion model parties we’ve been hanging out at lately, it’s been two whole weeks since we had a podcast. So, let’s make up for lost time, shall we? Hit up the chat and the stream after the break.

P.S. And don’t forget that Ustream has Android and iPhone clients as well, if you’re out and about and you can’t join in on the Flash-based fun below.

Update: It’s over! Thanks for listening, and if you missed the live stream be sure to watch for the download tomorrow.
