Uh oh, it’s finally happened. The electric company finally came and removed your life force. With no electricity, the cellphone that has become embedded in your hand is pretty much useless. Unless, of course, you whip out some MacGyver shit and show Benjamin Franklin who’s boss.

Instructable user The King Of Random used a piece of wood, some yarn, a mixing beater, a salad fork, a piece of aluminum foil and some scotch tape to create his own electricity. All ingredients that you’re sure to have in your own home. With a few cuts of your phone’s charger, a little splicing here, some slicing there, you’ll be charging your phone in no time.

If I saw a lion’s mane jellyfish in my backyard, first I’d be like, “Whoa, that thing should totally not be out of the water. That could really jeopardize its health and well-being,” then, I’d be all like, “Ahhhhhhhhhh arrrrgahhhhh!”

Thankfully the lion mane’s habitat just stretch beyond the waters of the Arctic, north Atlantic and North Pacific oceans. So my backyard remains safe. For now.

Let your man cave brace itself. The Super Mario Pipe Lamp melds the joys of video game plumbing accessories and electricity. Water and electric. Not such a great mix.

If the main protagonist isn’t your thing, your can request other Mario character charms from the designer. He also offers Luigi, Yoshi and Toad. Each lamp is a hair under $200. It could be worse.

Come on guys. Be a little creative! Why not a Panda/Earthworm. Or how about a Platypus/Rabbit? Or a Unicorn/Whale? Wait, that would be a narwhal, right? Bah, I’m no good at math.

Redditor gyyp harnessed the power of Photoshop to create these insane animal hybrids. Included is the mighty DuckHorse, the timid Guinea Pig/Lion, the bashful WhaleLion, and the list continues. I’d still like to see a Panda/Earthworm though.

I never would have thought of this. Thank god there are people out there that use their brains for constructive purposes rather than simply using them to rant and rave on a geek blog.

This custom made Steampunk AT-AT was painstakingly crafted by hand using 1980s models of the Star Wars walker.

The result is, as I hope you will agree, pretty amazing. Each one of those rivets was cut out with a punch and applied with tweezers, and we both lost track of the number of coats of spray paint he used to get that gorgeous patina before washing it down and creating the stains and drips. He made the narwhal horn on the front as well. It’s hard to see (this thing is a really weird shape and surprisingly awkward to photograph), but the legs and feet are covered in seaweed and barnacles – I can just imagine it tramping up and down the coastline, or standing in a harbour next to a crumbling pier.

Commissioned as a gift for the blogger at Badger and Owl, this “Mechano-Perambulator” probably wouldn’t fare to well in active battle, but the Jawa scavengers would have a field day.

And just when you thought you’d been hypnotized thoroughly, BLAM, flip time, THE CEILING IS NOW ON THE FLOOR AND I’M WALKING ON IT, OMFG. Woahhh, my frontal lobe totally just exploded in my skull. What’s that dripping from my nose? Oh, it’s just brain. Yup… brain.

This Batman Car seat features a superhero cape which is used to cover your young one on chilly days. Or anytime your two-year-old wants to feel like a total badass. It doubles as a booster seat as well.

Being raised by wolves myself, I naturally felt a kinship with a superhero who spent a large majority of his time in a cave. My adopted wolf parents weren’t too keen on my mental love affair with a “dirty bat.” They forbade it. But a quick mention of “You’re not my real Dad!” put them in their place. I only got 125 stitches  Psh… a paper cut!

If my canine den masters had any idea on how to nurture the mind of a soft, mushy human like myself, they would have encouraged my sprouting emotional landscape. For instance, they could have bought me this awesome Batman Car Seat. And while we didn’t have a car. In fact, we feared them, I still feel as though I would have been better mentally adjusted with a little emotional tender, love and care. Don’t do it to your children! Don’t be an animal!

Toys R Us has them for $150.

When I was a kid my rubber ducky was my best friend. There I said it. You happy now? I named it Ducky, because that’s what kids do. But Ducky didn’t judge me for my lack of creativity. Oh, no. In fact he lauded my efforts. Ducky was an amazing listener. One day, Momma told me that we had to drop Ducky off at farm, with plenty of pastures to run through and a giant bathtub made of ivory.

The world’s largest rubber ducky set sail today, yes, set sail in the Victoria Harbour of Hong Kong. Measuring 18 meters long and 15 meters wide, the ducky outsized most of the boats on the harbour, by quite a bit too. This particular duck has visited 10 countries and 12 cities since 2007.

I can only assume that the purpose of this face exerciser is to transform you into a very surprised Japanese woman.

The Facewaver Exercise Mask is clearly and undeniably 100% Japanese produced. I can spot a ridiculous Japanese product from 16 miles away. It’s an art-form I’ve honed over the last decade.

The Facewaver apparently stretches your face skin and muscles, improving your blood flow and kneading out wrinkles. But who cares really? This post isn’t about the product and it never was. It’s about the ridiculousness of the Japanese.  They want you to buy this thing for $61. I’ll totally make that back and millions more after my horror movie, featuring this mask as the main prop, is all produced and in theaters.

Balloon artist Jeff Wright created this amazingly detailed Buzz Lightyear costume using hundreds of inflatable balloons. The balloons even mimic Buzz’s bulging, rippling muscles and includes a blinking laser blaster. The helium might even help him fall… with style. Which would really come in handy in the GTA Toy Story mod.

Wright also created an awesome Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costume using 500 balloons. Wright’s goal? To “make the world a better place, one balloon at a time,” with his company Balloon Distractions. Okay, now do Chewbacca! Come on, come one!

LG has confirmed that it will be launching phones this year that run on the Mozilla Firefox mobile operating system.

The phones will launch in the South American nations of Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela as well as in Spain.

Additionally, the company will expand its launch to Hungary, Mexico, Serbia, Montenegro and Poland during the Q4 2013 and Q1 2014.

The company was quick to note, however, that "LG's planned launch of Firefox phones is a means to meet diversifying consumer needs but this doesn't indicate any shift away from Android."

ZTE and Huawei have also announced Firefox phones, but major player Samsung has already stated they will not be building phones with the OS.

Hon Hai Precision Industry, the parent of Foxconn, reported earnings this week, and they were not pretty.

The company, which is Apple's main manufacturer, saw a 19 percent dip in revenue for the Q1 thanks to weaker demand for the iPhone.

Total revenue for the quarter was $26.96 billion, down from $33 billion in the Q4 2012 and $33.5 billion for the Q1 2012.

"A quarterly decline was expected, but not a yearly decline," added KGI Securities analyst Ming-chi Kuo. "This shows that Hon Hai's revenue depends too much on Apple, and iPhone orders corrected more than expected."

Hon Hai makes 65 percent of its revenue from assembling iPhones (and iPads and iPod Touches) and other work for Apple.

Jeff Bleich, the U.S. Ambassador to Australia has made it his mission to stop 'Game of Thrones' piracy.

Coinciding with the annual UN World Book and Copyright Day, Bleich urged fans of the show to stop illegally downloading the show. He even went as far as to say that the huge amounts of piracy is "as epic and devious as the drama."

Reads the full post:

The file-sharing news website TorrentFreak estimated that Game of Thrones was the most-pirated TV series of 2012. One episode was illegally downloaded about 4,280,000 times through public BitTorrent trackers in 2012, which is about equal to the number of that episode's broadcast viewers. In other words, about half of that episode's viewers stole the program from HBO.

Bleich also noted that Australians are the biggest pirates of the show, mainly thanks to a delayed broadcast in the nation.

HBO, and the GoT cast, don't really seem to mind the piracy.

According to the CBC, Canada is preparing to tax Bitcoin transactions.

Canada's Revenue Agency says the taxes will be handled in one of two ways. Barter transaction rules apply when Bitcoins are used for goods or services, and capital gains or income tax rules apply when buying or selling as a trade or for other speculation.

The highly volatile currency recently reached all-time highs of over $250 USD per Bitcoin before collapsing to $60. The currency now trades at about $135. The currency first began being used by money launderers and those looking to purchase guns and drugs, but the currency is more mainstream now, with sellers of all types of goods supporting it.

Apple has announced it will be selling $17 billion worth of bonds this year, a record for U.S. investment-grade corporate debt.

The offering was so popular it generated $50 billion in orders.

Demand was so high that underwriters were able to lower the expected yields for the bonds.

Apple's debt offering is in six pieces. Four of the pieces are fixed-rate, being offered with maturities of 3, 5, 10 or 30 years. There are also two tranches of variable rate debt with 3 and 5 year maturities, based on current LIBOR pricing.

Thanks to record low rates for government Treasury bonds, the Apple bonds will not offer too high of a yield. The three year will offer 0.25 percent higher yield than the comparable Treasury, the five year will offer 0.45 higher, 0.80 higher on the 10-year and just 1.05 percent higher on the 30 year.

Apple was recently given the second best credit rating, AA+. Apple has $145 billion in cash, but only $45 billion is liquid and available in the U.S. Bringing the funds home would cost the company a mini fortune in taxes. Instead, they will offer the debt here to fund their $100 billion buyback for investors.
