Sony retires the cassette Walkman
Wow…I saw this and my immediate reaction was, “They still sell the cassette Walkman?”. Apparently they do/did.
After retiring the floppy disk in March, Sony has halted the manufacture and distribution of another now-obsolete technology: the cassette Walkman, the first low-cost, portable music player. The final batch was shipped to Japanese retailers in April, according to IT Media. Once these units are sold, new cassette Walkmans will no longer be available through the manufacturer

A year’s worth of food for $800
From Costco no less. I don’t know if Costco’s calendar is 6 months out of whack, but I don’t think this is an April Fools joke. One year’s worth of food in a shipping crate for $800. And it’s not the good stuff either, it comes in cans with labels like “textured vegetable protein” to disguise the fake meat. Nom, nom, hurl.

2010 Ig Nobels
Ah, it’s the Ig Nobel awards season again. It’s like Christmas in a geeky way. They give presents to people for the most bizarre research and inventions of each year. The Ig Nobel awards bestow a kind of recognition that raises the laureates above their peers, but not in the conventional way.
The winners of the 2010 Ig Nobel prizes were announced yesterday. Notable winners include:
- The Engineering Ig Nobel prize winner who perfected a way to collect whale snot by using a remote controlled helicopter;
- The Ig Nobel Peace prize which went to a study which confirmed that swearing does indeed relieve pain
- The Ig Nobel Management prize for demonstrating mathematically that organizations would become more efficient if they promoted people at random. (Chuck, could you cc: @mahorstman and then duck and cover?).
