Cosplaying Kirsten Covers Vapours Classic

by Jay Garrett on February 25, 2010

Ok – I tried sharing this on my Facebook page but apparently there’s some naugtiness in the vid so you have to be over 18.

All I could see was some anime nudity at 0:25, 0:52, 1:25, 2:39 and 3:25.

If you’re innocent (and reading my blog????), at work or under 18 skip past those parts.

This isn’t a bad cover of ‘Turning Japanese’ but it is made more palatable because Kirsten Dunst is dressed up as the “Akihabara Majokko Princess” complete with blue wig, magic wand and cute outfit.

Enjoy :)

Blippy Automatically Shares Your Credit Card Habits With the World

by Jay Garrett on February 17, 2010

If you’re the type of person who likes to brag about the amount of cash you’ve splashed and what on – Blippy is calling you!

Blippy basically gives your credit card its own Facebook and Twitter account and each time the plastic gets spanked Blippy gets to know and then, so will everyone else – so, careful when shopping at more adult-centric stores ;)

You can log into Blippy via your Twitter or Facebook accounts and then you can select which stores (iTunes, Amazon, Threadless, etc) you want your transactions blipped about – so, if you have some shady purchases or buying gifts at least you have the choice whether or not this info is transmitted.

As expected, you need to enter your credit card details for Blippy to work – time to start the gulp-o-matic-a-go-go!!

Blippers? get to see popular purchases from around the Blipperverse via their feeds which could be useful if you want to see what’s trending – which may be more handy for stores than punters.

Would you be happy with uploading all your credit card details and then sharing your spending habits with the world?

Comment below (you don’t have to tell me your bank details!) :)

Thumbnail image for HTC Legend – Apple Flavoured Android?

HTC have been busy and have unveiled a number of new mobiles at the MWC.
Thing is that, in my opinion, none of them look as lovely as the HTC Legend.
The body is carved from a single piece of aluminum – Mmmmm….. unibody….. I hope Apple are watching!
Under that gorgeous hood purrs Android 2.1 [...]

If the only thing holding you back from owning Sony Ericsson’s HD recording Vivaz is your fear of virtual keyboards – have a look-see at the new Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro!
The QWERTY board adds a tiny 2.5mm to the Vivaz’s slimline ‘human curvature’ contours, but you do seem to lose some features.
Instead of an 8.1 [...]

Thumbnail image for iPhone gets More Cowbell for Winter Olympics

You can’t have winter sports without the backing track of cowbells being whacked as a skier goes flying past.
You try getting a cowbell on a plane in the current security climate and you’re not only going to be looking at getting nudie-scanned but probably getting unpleasantly probed.
Fear not as this inexpensive iPhone app is here [...]

Google looks like it’s fancying some of the social network pie with Buzz.
Google Buzz is based around Gmail and, like other places, lets you share information, photos videos and status updates. It also connects with Flickr and Twitter so you can spread your endless, pointless news with everyone you know and others that you’ve managed [...]

Mobile-Review seems to have a bit of a scoop – this, they say, is the new Vodafone 360 phone.
Dubbed the Vodafone Compass (which may confuse people as Vodafone Compass is also the name of a GPS app), it could well be the third Vodafone 360 social networking phone.
What makes this interesting, apart from the shape, [...]

Do you need more than Mafia, Vampire and Farming games?
If you have a Facebook account you may have noticed that these ‘casual games’ are becoming increasingly (annoyingly) popular.
Personally I welcome ‘Brave Arms’ with open….err… arms as it becomes Facebook’s first ever 3D first person shooter.
Some may stand-up and say that FPS games cannot be [...]

This just shows how ingrained updating your social networking pages has become.
The last thing on my mind would be to send tweets or update my Facebook status – but not so Craig Lynch.
Lynch is actually an escaped prisoner and he’s been updating his friends about life on the run via his Facebook page – much [...]

Zune coming to UK?
Yeah – that’s what I thought when I was told this.
I reckoned that these very shores were going to get a taste of the MP3 player that was designed to take on Apple’s iPod.
Ok, so almost four years later the Zune only owns 2% of the US MP3 market – a [...]

That’s what Acer is dubbing their new blower.
Today Acer unveiled their first step into the world of Android-powered smartphones – and it looks like the Acer Liquid A1 has shiny shoes.

Samsung added the very useful GPS to its ST1000 – I’m cool with that and it makes sense.
So, why have Samsung in their infinite wisdom slapped a haptic feedback enhanced touchscreen to the front of the new Samsung ST500 and ST550?
Yup, as well as the usual live screen on the back, these new cameras feature [...]
