Dockers Super Bowl FAIL

So, Dockers decides to offer free pants to the viewers of the Super Bowl:

"George, you think our two web servers and around 40 pairs of free Dockers will suffice for that Super Bowl ad?"

"Sure, Bill, go for it!"

Needless to say, Bill and George will need to be be demoted from heads of advertising.

And it turns out that Dockers got their server explosion for tricking people into thinking they would get free pants. It was actually an offer to enter for a chance to "win a pair of Dockers".

@eric_ras said it right with:
"seriously, if you're going to run a $3M ad and tell people to go to your website YOU BETTER BE READY FOR IT"

Turbine concept to light your highway

Word comes from Engadget about a new lighting concept powered by cars. The street light, pictured above, has a turbine on it that is rotated by the wind created by passing vehicles. The turbine then powers the light. Pretty snazzy if you ask me. And if the production unit comes out actually looking like the concept, then this is a real win. To the concept creators: don't let those dinosaur electricity companies bully you into not building these. Better yet, partner with one and show them how lucrative renewable energy can be.

Top 4 Reasons This Turbine Light Concept Should Be Built

1. It looks awesome
2. We're always wondering what to do with our car-created wind
3. There's a few streets in around here that need a light (I'm pretty sure there was a zombie hobo down on 7th last night.)
4. We could use excess electricity created to power our Tesla Roadsters (until 2011...)

Impressed by the iPad?

So, does the Apple iPad live up to the hype? The machine announced by Steve Jobs yesterday has been rumored for over a decade. That's pretty big shoes to fill, when it comes to an electronic device. The price ($499 for the non-3G base model) gives the iPad some hope in the market. But do people want a big iPhone that you (probably) won't make voice calls on? We'll see. But remember this: the iPhone was released with no downloadable apps and no 3G radio. It couldn't do video and it had a mere 8 GB of storage. But look at how far it has come.
