The most important part of the Darwin award that is often ignored is that the person hasn't reproduced and spread their stupid genes in the gene pool. This kid was actually young enough and stupid enough to qualify.

It's that open minded stance that I love about gizmodo

I'd like to put my vote in for Windows Home Server. Drobo is good too, but I like WHS shadowing of data, and automatic backing up of windows computers. HP has had three generations under it's belt, with the ex495 being the latest. It only holds 4 drives natively, and that will be cut in half by shadowing. But it…

Nicely done. If somebody wants to try something similar, I've been using a TechCraft SF50, and have been very happy with it. It has large holes in the back for ventilation, with a cloth cover to the back. The cover isn't very good, and slows the air down, but a fan would make a huge difference.

@Jmarsh04: Oh it was nowhere near where you are. It was in the 40 west shopping center near the intersection of 40 and 29. I just thought it might be the place you remember. It's no longer there. Hell even the mall has been removed and replaced with a strip mall.

@Pikminblue: Sorry, I should have been more clear. The wrapper isn't a video game. It's a restaurant that has several different types of meat and cheese wrapped in a pretzel cover.

@Pikminblue: Woot!, enjoy the boardwalk. Check out the "Wrapper"

@Perf3ct_Cha0s: Marty's is down towards the south end of the Boardwalk. Try out Terminator Salvation. Also while you are down there, check out the "Wrapper" a little ways up. Stick with the Chicken and Cheese wrapped in a pretzel coating, it's the best tasting. Also it's open 364 days a year, often open till 2am.

@Chux: I remember playing that one too. It was further up the boardwalk, and the games were a little older. That pinball machine was only at that arcade.

@Jmarsh04: there was a place called "flickers" off of route 40. The great part of "Flickers" was that they had tokens worth a quarter each, but you could buy a bag of 100 for $20.

Wow, that's weird. I was just there yesterday, playing Termination Salvation with my girlfriend. There are about 4 large arcades on the Ocean City, MD boardwalk. Marty's Playland is one of the better ones.

I saw a machine like this in Arbutus, MD a few weeks ago. I wondered if the silver bars were railroad ties. Now I think they had this very machine sitting at the station. Very cool, thanks for posting the video.

@Gix0r: I've heard a lot of good things about ShowAnalyzer. I'm waiting for Ceton's cable card tuner before I just into the Win7 media center. $30 is a small price to pay for on the fly commercial skip

Verizon's Fios tv has a pretty bad interface. The guide lists the channels, but the program discription appears right in the middle of the screen. I end up looking just above or below, because it's too distracting. Aldo you have to enter a parental control number each time you want to check on Twitter feeds

This is great! I'm going to use this so that my iPhone doesn't auto correct "md" to "ms." I live in Maryland, not Mississippi, and a lot of the women I know are doctors. It always annoys me when the iPhone believes differently.

Why is the Wii charging station partially blurred out in the picture? Is there something naughty there?

Oops, I meant to say youtube doesn't work "half the time", not "have the time." Kingofmars for the fail!

Thank you so much for posting this Mike, because I would have missed it otherwise. Also, thanks for not forcing me to use some youtube bull, that doesn't work have the time. Gawker flash player thingy ftw!

On thing that always bothered me about duck hunt was a little line in the manual. It said to be careful not to accidentally shoot your dog. I tried so hard to "accidentally" shoot that stupid laughing bitch.

"You might be tempted to say "no," and scroll down hoping for the next picture of Shiloh Jolie-PItt, but the fact is that you will probably vote in November, and probably for the candidate you most trust to stave off this "recession" and the definition of recession is two consecutive quarters of a contraction in the…
