This Is The Playstation Phone
As seen on Engadget, here are its specs:
1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 Snapdragon chip
512MB RAM
1GB ROM
Operates on Android OS 3.0
It looks that it still needs some polishing, so expect it sometime in 2011. Not that you’d need another phone if you already have an iPhone/other smartphone (there’s a PSP2 for that). Would you want this phone over your current phone or other phones?

Whipped Lightning: Whipped cream with a twist
What’s this? Alcohol-infused whipped cream dubbed Whipahol®? It’s surely not the first time alcohol and whipped cream have been infused together, but it is the first time it’s being sold. I’ve seen this at my local liquor store and have always wanted to try them, but I knew I’d rarely use it. Because it is 36.5 proof alcohol, you’ll only find this where liquor...

Tovolo King Cube Extra Large Silicone Ice Cube...
I have a bit of an obsession with making large spheres or cubes of ice for alcoholic drinks I make. There’s something very satisfying about a perfectly clear sphere or cubes of ice in a drink that really adds to the joy of drinking. It’s also a popular practice in Japan to turn a large 3” block of ice into a perfect sphere with an ice pick. I’ve always wanted a good ice...

Women who lack sex drive have different brains →
Those with a low libido have distinct patterns of brain activity compared to those with a healthy sex drive, according to a study by Wayne State University in Detroit, suggesting that a long-term lack of interest in sex is not just all in the mind.
Certain areas of the brain that normally light up when processing information about sex fail to do so in women with a condition known as hypoactive...

Blizzard Not Sure How StarCraft II Ends →
It seems that just as the next two chapters in the StarCraft II campaign, Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void, are in development, so is the story. Those who finished the Wings of Liberty campaign (or spoiled it for themselves on YouTube) will likely remember the dramatic events that occurred just before the credits rolled. How that eventually plays out is still being worked on, which is...

Why Intelligent People Drink More Alcohol →
Since the consumption of modern alcoholic beverages – including binge drinking and getting drunk – is evolutionarily novel, the Hypothesis would predict that more intelligent individuals are more likely to engage in it, and the empirical data from the UK and the US confirm it.
This is not to say that drinking more will make you more intelligent. According to the article, intelligent...

Why So Many People Can't Make Decisions [WSJ...
Why is it so hard to make decisions? Being pretty gray-minded, I find myself agonizing over the smallest decisions which can lead to lengthy trips to stores when I go alone. However, I also find some joy (initially) when it comes to weighing the pros and cons of something. Here’s some snippets from an interesting article from the Wall Street Journal giving some insight into ambivalence:
