Wasabi Fire Alarm Awakens You With a Slight Burning Sensation [Fire Alarms]

In this case the burning sensation is “delicious,” not “first degree and could result in your death.” And apparently it really works too, although the advertised “time to awaken” period seems a bit too long for my taste. Effective over an area of 50 feet, the Wasabi alarm can typically wake people up within two-and-a-half minutes. Update : This is a non-traditional fire alarm, for the deaf community. With that in mind, this could certainly save lives. Two years ago this alarm was but a concept. Now it’s a $560 (?!?!) reality. [ CNET via Technabob ]

Amazon Gives In, Will Sell eBooks On Macmillan’s Terms [Amazon]

Amazon has given in to Macmillan, and will switch to a pricing model that sees bestseller and new hardcover releases offered to customers at $12.99 to $14.99. The official statement is as follows: Dear Customers: Macmillan, one of the “big six” publishers, has clearly communicated to us that, regardless of our viewpoint, they are committed to switching to an agency model and charging $12.99 to $14.99 for e-book versions of bestsellers and most hardcover releases. We have expressed our strong disagreement and the seriousness of our disagreement by temporarily ceasing the sale of all Macmillan titles. We want you to know that ultimately, however, we will have to capitulate and accept Macmillan’s terms because Macmillan has a monopoly over their own titles, and we will want to offer them to you even at prices we believe are needlessly high for e-books. Amazon customers will at that point decide for themselves whether they believe it’s reasonable to pay $14.99 for a bestselling e-book. We don’t believe that all of the major publishers will take the same route as Macmillan. And we know for sure that many independent presses and self-published authors will see this as an opportunity to provide attractively priced e-books as an alternative. Kindle is a business for Amazon, and it is also a mission. We never expected it to be easy! Thank you for being a customer. Well, that was quick . [ Kindle Community ]

White Goat Turns Worthless Office Reports Into Functional Toilet Paper [Toilet Paper]

Boss: “Jensen, I wouldn’t wipe my ass with your TPS reports, such is my disdain for your work.” Jensen: “That’s too bad, sir, because you just did in the restroom!” You see, readers, this scene unfolded thusly because of this: It’s a machine that recycles paper into toilet paper ! And surprise, this quirky bit of tech is from…Japan! Called White Goat , possibly because someone in the inventor’s office saw one eating some paper one day and then do what animals do naturally after eating such things, the machine creates a roll of TP in about 30 minutes using 40 sheets of office paper: The $100,000 machine goes on sale in Japan this summer, and is expected to save about 60 trees annually. Your job, on the other hand, may still be beyond saving. [ Ubergizmo via Born Rich ]

Watch Cold War Kids – Audience video clip online Cold War Kids – Audience lyrics Sunday nights that you wanna Black velvet cake Sweet heart can bargain Half price mistakes She will go down with her ship Like a good captain You’re sitting on the dock playing for An audience of one ooooohhhh! Pacing your apartment, linoleum floors Get a call from an old friend She never like them before He will drive all over three lanes You sit tight, shotgun Windshield wipers waving for An audience of one You came out from the country Wearing momma’s clothes You were born in the city Daddy’s dominos You need a record you can move to Well we got one Drop the needle We are playing for an audience of one Drop the needle We are playing for an audience of one One gets all of you two jealous Three get even less Four divides you up then you’re left Pleasing all your guests Reach out you point a finger And touch the globe Spin around and where it stops You’ve got to pack your bags and go Land in the Mohave Desert Sing for the sun Three’s too many when you’re playing for An audience of one Two’s too busy when you’re playing for An audience of one One is the only way playing for An audience of one oooooh!

Showbread – I Think I’m Going To See You lyrics and video clip

Watch Showbread – I Think I’m Going To See You video clip online Showbread – I Think I’m Going To See You lyrics Madness is like love, it makes you see the world a different way Maybe love just helps you say the things that madness can’t convey When an evil spirit leaves a man, it goes flying through the desert Looks for a place to stay and then comes back And that’s what’s got me hiding out from rapists, thieves and perverts The newsman telling me we’re under attack Because the more the world puts in my mouth, the less I feel like chewing it I found the way to madness and I’m opening the door Cause the more they say what’s on my mind, the more I feel I’m losing it They tell me what to care about and I don’t care anymore Cause there’s a hole in the fabric of my sanity and it’s getting big enough to see through And on the other side of losing my mind I think I’m gonna see you I pledge allegiance to myself, don’t make much sense to me And if freedom frees the idiots, I don’t think I’ve been set free With all the emphasis on money and guns and looking out for number one Seems like clouds in my coffee Because the world is a lady with a veil over her face But I’m tearing it away cause she’s got something to hide And all our hopes and dreams I fear have been badly misplaced Cause life means giving up yourself, I’m not afraid to die Cause there’s a hole in the fabric of my sanity and it’s getting big enough to see through And on the other side of losing my mind I think I’m gonna see you There’s a fire on the flag that makes you who you are And I think my mask is starting to slip And now that everything’s breaking down, I think I’m getting a grip The more the world puts in my mouth, the more I feel like throwing up I’ve found the way to freedom and I’m opening the door The more they tell me how to care, the more and more I’m giving up Afraid of God and life and death, I’m not afraid anymore There’s a hole in the fabric of my sanity and it’s getting big enough to see through And on the other side of losing my mind I think I’m gonna see you There’s a hole in the fabric of my sanity and it’s getting big enough to see through And on the other side of losing my mind I think I’m gonna see you There’s a fire on the flag that makes you who you are And I think my mask is starting to slip And now that everything’s breaking down, I think I’m getting a grip There’s a hole in the fabric of my sanity and it’s getting big enough to see through And on the other side of losing my mind I think I’m going to see you Tags: lyrics , Showbread , video
