…. Portable TENS gadgets have been produced for home use, but they still
require dealing with the wires and pads that attach to your skin and
that is an even bigger pain than the one in your back. So a smart
company in Chattanooga, TN, Hollywog, has invented the first wireless TENS
machine: the WiTouch.

One of the things I’ve always enjoyed when using Google is the additional information they will provide you with at the top of your search results. The list includes things like weather info, calculation results, sports scores, and more. All of this means you don’t have to turn to another site just to find the answers to these quick questions.
The DuckDuckGo search engine is another great resource that puts data from dozens of third-party sources at the top of your results. When it is relavent DuckDuckGo will show information from sites such as Wikipedia, Merriam-Webster dictionary, WolframAlpha, and dozens of others. All of this should mean that you won’t have to sift through results to find the answer to some of your basic questions. Too lazy to look out the window? Just ask it if it is raining and it will use its location-aware skills to see if it is raining in your location.
Aside from that this is a search engine, and that is where this may be hit or miss for some of you. Instead of being powered by Google this uses Bing for the search results. Some of you may prefer that, while I’m sure others won’t even consider using it for this very reason.
If you do decide to give DuckDuckGo a try you’ll want to sift through the settings because there are a lot of things you can customize. You can change the appearance/colors, remove ads, take a look at keyboard shortcuts, configure auto paging so that you can continuously scroll through results, and much more. You’ll also want to check out these resources to see what kind of calculations and special searches are possible:
The one thing I really love is the way this brings in WolframAlpha data… because there is so much info available on that site but I frequently forget to use it for my searches. Since I’ve started using DuckDuckGo I’ve noticed that there are even more answers available on WolframAlpha that I didn’t even realize they had.

One of the great joys of exploring other cultures is seeing how other people eat — but sometimes, you need a strong stomach to deal with what you find. Around the world, people eat fried tarantulas, sheep’s heads, duck embryos, and tons of other weird items. Here are the strangest and most revolting food items on Earth.

Damn. This dude is building a giant Super Star Dreadnought ‘Assertor’ that is made out of hand-carved styrene and some 3D printing. You know he is serious too. Just look at the state of that room. This is why geeks should not marry until at least age 40. There are just too many cool projects to complete and we make a mess.
Right now, The White Tiger’s project is about 50% complete, but already it looks awesome. This is going to be museum-worthy when it is finished. You can see his Starship Enterprise model in the lower left, to give you an even better idea of the size.
Of course, he didn’t just create this from memory – he got a good head start thanks to this 3D model by Ansel Hsiao (aka Fractal Sponge).
Star Destroyers rock. As long they are not pointed at you anyway.
