Hasta La Gadget!

We know in your workplace, computers are as important as the coffee machine. We conduct a lot of our business on computers, and when they go down, we’re often left either twiddling our thumbs or playing games on our smartphones while we wait for them to come back up again. When computers go down at news stations, it’s a different story since the news never stops.

Andrew Kozak is a weatherman from Tulsa, Oklahoma’s KTUL-TV who was experiencing issues with his computer just moments before his scheduled weather update. Instead of telling his fellow anchors he would be unable to give Tulsa and its surrounding cities the weather update they’ve been waiting for, he took matters into his own hands and gave them quite the unique weather forecast that we’re sure they won’t soon forget.

Kozak literally drew out the entire segment one pieces of paper, even going as far as drawing out the complete 8-day planner and even remembering to include the sponsor’s logo at the top-right of the forecast. After watching him deliver his forecast in a cool and calm manner, we can’t help but think he deserves some kind of raise after his amazing hand-crafted segment.

We’ve covered Back To The Future quite a bit here at Ubergizmo since we know, just like us, you’re all probably big fans of the films, TV shows and delicious cereal. We’ve seen hoverboards, sneakers and a LEGO set inspired by Back to the Future. But have you ever seen a DeLorean hovercraft? You have?! Well, let’s make believe you didn’t so the rest of the class could enjoy this video.

A few days ago, YouTube user Terry Barentsen happened to be in the right place at the right time as a hovercraft made to look like a DeLorean was seen driving around. Since it didn’t reach 88 miles-per-hour, it wasn’t able to travel through time, but we’re sure Doc Brown would still be proud of this creation, even though this thing doesn’t move quite as well as the real DeLorean, or even the hoverboard.

We’re not sure what exactly is going on with California as a RC Superman was spotted there just a few weeks ago. We’re just happy there are people around to record these bizarre instances so they can spread through the Internet life wildfire.

Netflix has been beefing up its content over the past few months as they announced they’ve signed a multi-year deal with Disney to be given exclusive access to their first-run films as well as a deal with Warner Bros. Television Group to bring a number of dramas to the service for the 2012-2013 season.

Today, the company is continuing to beef up its TV content as they’re announcing a new deal with Turner Broadcasting and Warner Bros. Television Group that will bring content from Cartoon Network, Warner Bros. Animation, Adult Swim and TNT drama Dallas, to Netflix. The deal isn’t just for newly aired content as Netflix subscribers will be able to watch complete previous seasons of content ranging from shows like Adventure Time, Regular Show and Ben 10.

From Adult Swim, content from shows like Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Boondocks, Childrens Hospital and WBTVG’s Studio 2.0 will be made available as well.

If you’re a fan of Cartoon Network shows or enjoy a good episode of Dallas, then you should look for content from today’s news to start rolling in starting March 30, 2013.

[CES 2013] When you think how far tablets have come since the original iPad, we’re sure you’re impressed as years pass, they seem to be getting thinner while providing a better experience through improved screen resolutions among other things. But tablets becoming as thin and bendable as sheets of paper were something we’re sure none of you would expect to be possible, but Plastic Logic’s Paper Tab is exactly that, and it’s debuting at this year’s CES.

The Paper Tab is a flexible, 10.7-inch, paper-thin E-Ink display that was brought to life with a little help from their partners, Intel and Queen’s University of Ontario, Canada. Paper Tab allows the user to interact with it in a number of ways, such as bending portions of the tablet in order to move through pages or tweak corners of the tab to rewind and fast forward through videos.

What makes the Paper Tab even more unique is how each of the tabs interact with one another depending on their location as well as what each tablet is running. Emailing someone is used as an example as the user is able to write an email on one Paper Tab, while using another one to attach an image within the email.

Current prototypes are only available with E-Ink displays, but it’s said color displays are in the works and we could be seeing this technology become commercial within three to five years.

Answering phone calls by taking it out of your pocket or purse and placing it to your ear is so 2012. Now that a Japanese man has invented an iPhone quick-draw system, the only way we want anyone to answer their phone is by having it project out of their sleeve, to then hold it up to their ear in a super-cool manner.

The Japanese inventor featured in the video above shows a number of his prototypes for a quick-draw iPhone system. Some prototypes completely fall apart, while others shoot the iPhone out of his hand at screen-cracking speed. Ultimately, the inventor produces just the right prototype for him to begin using it for its obvious purpose: to perform a montage of cool-looking action moves, ending with answering his iPhone.

For some strange reason, at one point in the video, the inventor equips the quick-draw iPhone system to his legs. A moment later, he performs a quadruple quick-draw that makes us immediately wish we had such a system available to us right now.

The prototypes the Japanese inventor comes up with reminds us of the hidden blade assassins from Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed game uses. Except with the hidden iPhone system, you’ll be way more nerdy and a lot less deadly.
