The BlackBerry's keyboard is an object of worship, and RIM CEO Mike Lazaridis has publicly said the iPhone's touch keyboard sucks. So, the BlackBerry Thunder's touch keyboard had better be the best one you've ever smeared your fingerprints on. According to Crackberry, it has two big tricks: The screen itself is "sort of like a big button," so it pushes in a little bit with a clicky sound, and it buzzes where you push it (localized haptics).

Guys, isn't capital punishment hilarious? I mean, there's nothing funnier than the state putting someone to death for a crime they're pretty sure they committed even though there's always a margin of error and it's 100% certain that innocent people have been executed!

We've seem more than our fair share of fascinating Wiimote mods, but few involve the Wiimote's faithful, platonic sidekick, the Nunchuk. So one modder took the Nunchuk, hooked it up to his computer, converted the MIDI signal and piped the information into 3D Studio Max. The result is realtime, 3D motion capture of a quasi-phallic CG object. And when it's all said and done, who can really ask for anything more than that? [via Hack-a-Day]

The British company behind the Juicebar are billing it as "the world's slimmest emergency phone charger." The device looks about as big as a cardboard coaster, but apparently it is capable of powering up a phone for up to 480 minutes of standby, or around 60 minutes of talk time depending on the device.

Even though Gossip Girl's relationships can change in an instant, as we saw on the season finale, it's nice to know that some things never change! Showing some loyalty as her character usually does, Blair showed up filming for next season using the same orange LG enV phone that she used for most of last season (although in my poll, most of you said she seemed more likely to have a Prada phone). She had it constantly, as you can see in my compil
