Welcome to your brand new McLaren P1 GTR . This is its crazy interior. If you press the right buttons, you get 986 horsepower to play with. Just remember your training, you're on an F1 track, and you're basically Ayrton Senna... except with less talent and more money.
Are you tired of shopping from a catalog that doesn’t speak to your unique sensibilities? Looking for a new kind of catalog that contains an eclectic selection of goods only a true oddball original can appreciate?
Then you’re in the market for a unique product from the Skymaul Catalog, which features things you never knew you needed, like hot dog alarm clocks, mobile garbage detectors and SantaGard- the ultimate in holiday home protection.
Unfortunately for us (and fortunately for Santa) SkyMaul isn’t a real store with real products, it’s the product of the Kasper Hauser comedy group from San Francisco, collected in a book called SkyMaul 2: Where America Buys His Stuff.
SkyMaul 2 is a follow up to the 2006 release SkyMaul: Happy Crap You Can Buy From A Plane, and even though you can't buy these crappy products you can buy the books that contain pictures of the fake products, which is virtually the same thing, right?

Even the cheapest items will ship for free through Dec. 20, reports the Associated Press, noting that this is a pretty early holiday move, even as retailers in recent years have continued to bump the holiday season backward into the fall.
It’s certainly an attention getting move, and could end up costing Target a pretty penny if not enough people order pricier things. But if it gets people shopping, Target seems to be willing to take that risk.
“We know shipping costs play a big role in online purchasing decisions… . We believe our free shipping offer will create excitement and incremental sales for Target,” said Kathee Tesija, Target’s executive vice president and chief merchandising officer.
Perhaps Target thinks free shipping will wipe last year’s massive holiday data breach from shoppers’ minds as well. You know, the one that swiped personal and payment information for more than 100 million shoppers. Since then, of course, there have been numerous data breaches at other retailers, proving to shoppers everywhere that no one is ever really safe.

If you ever wondered what characters from The Simpsons would look like if they got animated in the style of South Park or Archer or Adventure Time or various animes or maybe even made to look like minions, well, here you go. On last night's episode, we got to see what The Simpsons would look like as different cartoons.
The developer of Paranautical Activity, described by its creators as a fast-paced, first-person shooter roguelike, had its game pulled from Valve's Steam service today after its creator posted a death threat to the company's co-founder, Gabe Newell.
Mike Maulbeck, creator of Paranautical Activity, says he released the final version of his PC game on Steam today. When it went live, the game's Steam page indicated that the game was still in Early Access, which Maulbeck believed would "greatly cripple sales and confuse customers."
"This being a project I spent years of my life on, I was very frustrated by this mistake [Valve] made, so I tweeted a series of tweets calling them incompetent that eventually ended in me saying 'I swear I'm...
Someone sent me this link to a YouTube black hole of glorious slow-motion videos and I have spent the last hour going through an endless torrent of metal shaving, drilling, chipbreaking and whatever else these machines are doing. It's so satisfying.
Numbers don't lie, and the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is a big angry box full of big angry numbers: 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, and an 11-second quarter on street tires. The largest number is also the most amazing: the angriest SRT starts at $63,995, including the $1700 gas guzzler tax.

One of the coolest things we've seen in the past few weeks is the new Nexus Player. The consumer debut of Android TV brings a mix of Google TV and Chromecast, allowing you to do a bit more but also being a bit more intense (read: complicated) than everyone's favorite, the Chromecast. We think it's an important product to Google, and may just finally bring their ecosystem into the living room — something Google (and every other giant corporation with an ecosystem to bring) has wanted for a long time.
But the Chromecast is just so simple. And it offers access to any and all media you have stored into Google's cloud, so for many it's exactly what they wanted. We don't think Google has any plans to discontinue the Chromecast, and they haven't said anything to make us think that way. For a lot of us, it's the perfect solution.
It's been a long time since I craved a computer program, but now I want Space Engine so much that I'm ready to buy a PC just to be able to immerse myself in it. Developed by Vladimir Romanyuk, Space Engine is a complete sandbox simulation of the Universe with mind-blowing graphics. Check this out:

Slamstorm - Quad City DJ’s vs. Darude
Should a toy store sell only toys for children? Toys ‘R’ Us is our last nationwide toy retailer, and one parent was horrified to see that the chain sells toy versions of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, the antiheroes of the cable drama “Breaking Bad.” They are wonderfully detailed, down to their accessories: beakers, chili powder, a gun, and…oh, yeah, a tiny bag of blue crystal meth.
A Florida mom tells WFTX that she liked the TV program “Breaking Bad,” but doesn’t think that action figures of the main characters belong on the shelves of a toy store, because children could follow their example. The toys come with some meth-making equipment, dressed in hazmat suits. “Kids mimic their action figures, if you will. Do you want your child in an orange jumpsuit?” she asked viewers rhetorically.
One thing that series did not do was glamorize the drug trade, or provide a happy ending for any of its characters. Still, the woman who started this campaign isn’t alone: an online petition asking Toys ‘R’ Us to remove the figures has more than 3,600 signatures.
This news didn’t come to our attention until series star Bryan Cranston tweeted about it, which is how we prefer to get all of our news.
"Florida mom petitions against Toys 'R Us over Breaking Bad action figures." I'm so mad, I'm burning my Florida Mom action figure in protest

“The Walking Dead” is not wholesome family entertainment, yet its action figures are also available from Toys ‘R’ Us.
This may be true: for example, I have Wallace and Gromit action figures, and my dog outsmarts me all of the time. There are endless jokes to be made on that theme, but the core question isn’t whether action figures are role models. It’s really about whose toys should be available in a toy store.
In a statement, Toys ‘R’ Us told the TV station:
The products you reference are carried in very limited quantities and the product packaging clearly notes that the items are intended for ages 15 and up. Items from this TV series are located in the adult action figure area of our stores.
Yet the figures mysteriously and abruptly disappeared from the Toys ‘R’ Us site this afternoon. Personally, I’m holding out for the Gale Boetticher action figure with push-button karaoke action, but we wrote to Toys ‘R’ Us to find out whether they’ve pulled the figures from their real-life and virtual shelves after all, or perhaps the figures sold out and will never be restocked.
