I always thought cruise control was to “assist” in driving your car. I was apparently not completely aware of all it could do. You see these two guys can set their cruise control and get out of the car to enjoy the ride from outside. This is about is stupid as it comes but pretty wild to watch as are all stupid tricks. 🙂

and put it in a go kart. Not just any bike engine but a Gixxer block. Sounds kinda crazy right? Well it is. You can check out a video of some folks in Germany that did just that.

Ok it’s not exactly tech or bikes but this guy can juggle. You can check out one of his performances here.

I have the orginal Apple Ipod and the battery just doesn’t last more than an hour or two anymore. I was looking around for a place I could buy a replacement and came across this site. They seem to have everything you need to modify and repair the entire Ipod line.

A Japanese company (Japan Airlines) and an American company (United Airlines) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat.

A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing. So United management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion. They advised that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing. To prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team’s management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager. They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the “Rowing Team Quality First Program”, with meetings, dinners and free pens for the rower. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses.

The next year the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, United management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and canceled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year’s racing team was outsourced to India!!!!

Well it has finally been released and it is very cool. I can’t wait to see all of the hardware variations vendors come up with. I think the best part is that it runs a full version of Windows XP. No busted down, you can’t run that application, OS for this thing. It is a true PC that is truly mobile. I want to play with one. I was really interested in the Nokia 770 tablet but the Ultra-Mobile would prove to be more useful I think.

Well then you may want to check out this site. It has a nice and simple search to find the make and model of a device you can’t seem to remember what the default password is. I am sure this will come in handy some day. They even have a WAP version available for the times when all you have is your cell phone available.

Loosely categorized in motorcycles, this BMW scooter comes with seat belts, weather protection, so many safety features that helmets won’t be required. Pretty cool looking, though you won’t see many Harley folks riding them. I’d take it for a spin, but it looks like they won’t be selling in the US.
