* This has relatively the same effect on me that fingernails on a chalkboard seem to have for other people: Bodyhack has a post (with pics) about a [wrist surface piercing with a watch attached][1]. "Surface piercing is hard to heal and with this chunky watched attached, getting bumped and scraped is inevitable."

* Who says kids are lazy? Game|Life has the story of a 9-year-old Seattle boy who "became a modern day Frank Abagnale, Jr. when he hijacked a handful of cars and sneaked onto an airline flight, all in an effort to visit his grandfather in Dallas." Naturally his mother [blames the whole thing on video games][2].

* Screw iPhone, truly upscale snobs are going to get [the Prada phone][3]. At $780 and sporting a touch screen interface Gadget Lab drily observers: "If an overpriced, touchscreen-only phone sounds oddly familiar, you're not the only one thinking imitation." But doesn't Prada charge like $500 for a belt? So relatively speaking $780 for a phone might not be that bad.

* Listening Post [has the skinny][4] on a new MP3 player that looks like a Rubik's cube. Except that it's all white, which is probably good since "you need to solve the puzzle in order to turn it off."
