Hidden Flight Sim in Google Earth via Missing Intellect

I tried the sim, it’s a little strange to fly over a flat map of the Earth, but a neat little Easter Egg nonetheless.

Interview: Dr. Robert Ballard

Dr. Robert Ballard is best known for his discovery of the wreck of the RMS Titanic. However, this is only one of his 121 expeditions including the discovery of deep sea thermal vents, the wreck of the German battleship Bismarck, and John F. Kennedy’s patrol boat PT-109. Technorama, a show that normally takes a light hearted look at tech, science, sci-fi, and all things geek, brings you another in its series of specials and interviews.

The podcast was fortunate to catch the busy Dr. Ballard for an interview immediately following his latest trip to the Black Sea. Join host Chuck Tomasi for a fascinating discussion with Dr. Robert Ballard about the Black Sea trip, Internet 2, autonomous underwater vehicles, history, and more. Feed your inner geek with Technorama!

Have you ever melted you little sister’s Barbie doll in her Easy Bake Oven? Did she get even?

Young Woz & Jobs Play Set (Not LEGO) via Digg
Limited edition with only 300 sets to be made. The sequel to The 1984 Apple commercial themed play set. Only the real, hard-core Apple addicts are tough enough for these toys. [P.S. don’t tell Victor]

Pillowig via Digg
I’ve always thought those neck pillows for napping on planes were a lame accessory. This goes one (ore maybe more) step further.
