I posted about toughening up your iPod the other day but the Royal Navy seem to have taken it to the extreme with the introduction of the iFrigate. Apple needn't surrender yet though - it's an interactive guide to a Type 23 Frigate. Yay for a Flash enabled Senior Service!
It seems the arrival of the iPod Shuffle has forced other flash based music player manufacturers into a rethink on pricing. Yay for a price war!
Make Firefox like IE - in a very superficial fashion. Don't worry it's not a tutorial on introducing IE security flaws into the Firefox code base - it shows you how to set up Firefox with an IE LnF which could be useful for dragging across the techno fearing luddites in your family who refuse to upgrade to that there new fangled Firefox because they are 'used to' IE.
This page has lots of links to pinball games you can play online at various sites. It includes a one paragraph review and screenshot of each to help you sort the wheat from the chaff.
With the amount of links we rip from the b3ta newsletter it was most remiss of me not to post a link to the London Underground mp3 in a Jam stylee from a few weeks back. Never mind I've got a chance to make amends with a link to to the new flash enabled version.
Looks like we may have been slightly off in our speculation over the real culprits behind the VW ad. We thought, because no charges had been filed, that it was the usual 'company lets bad taste viral out of back door, reaps publicity, denies responsibilty'. It seems Volkswagen are pressing charges against the 'unknown pair' behind it after all.
The two apologized for offending people but refused to identify themselves. Reuters noted that under German law, charges can be filed against unknown persons, obliging authorities to track down the perpetrators.
After writing about Pokemon just the other day I was shocked to find that Pokemon causes cancer! I suppose it adds new urgency to Gotta Catch 'Em All.
We've had one or two penis mutilation stories on here before but this is the mother of all knob chops. This is a livejournal page showing a series of photos of some total nutter chopping his dick off. This is NSFW. Or for anyone with a squeamish disposition. Or men. Or anybody.
Chris at qwghlm made a giant KitKat from four Chunky Kitkats and posted the pictures on Flickr.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee has been selected as the Greatest Briton 2004 to go with his title and big pile of money. Yay for Sir Tim - work would be so boring without his t'interweb.
A contest was held to recreate ancient buildings (including the Circus Maximus, Angkor Wat and the Parthenon) in the medium of Lego - here are the results.

If you want an iPod but can't bear the thought of carrying around some piece of kit that looks wimpy then you might need the tutorial on armour plating your iPod to turn it into a shiny chromed man's toy.
Here's a little Lego based puzzler called Lego Stack-It to while away a few minutes. Stack your bricks to pop balloons which gives you more bricks and so on. You can also get extra bricks by getting 3 balloons of the same colour in a row.
After Bungers finishes reading his fapping how-to he'll be needing some tissues. Of course someone with a street savvy, ultra chavvy image like Bungers can't be using no Kleenex. He'll be wanting tissues that look like an iPod!
In case you hadn't noticed, ILN has been moonlighting for another site, and it's rather good™. Here are The Joys of Caffeine
"The closest you get to Starbucks in Oslo, is a chain of coffee shops called Kaffebrenneriet (The Coffee Roastery). Their greatest product is called Tors Hammer (hammer of Thor), which is a double espresso topped off with a cup of brewed coffee. Now that is pure devotion."
Maybe you should try your coffee with the 'new age' sounds of Nils-Ole Finbak here.
This site runs polls on SciFi Babes and the subject of the latest is Dr Who's Assistants. There's also an archive of previous winners from other SF shows.
