We already spent some time grappling with Sony’s monster full-frame Alpha A900 prototype at PMA, but the company’s displaying an updated version at the Photo Imaging Expo in Japan, and reps are apparently now saying that the 24.6 megapixel DSLR will be launched during IFA in August or Photokina in September. Other than that, there’s not much we didn’t already know — which means there’s really not that much at all — but there are some more shots of this nifty clear-bodied display unit at the read link for your ocular delight.

So now that the dust is settling, winners are boasting, and Auction 73 is in the record books, it’s time to take a good, hard look back on what was, what is, and what could’ve been. As we all now know, Verizon came away with the biggest prize — the giant Block C that will be obligated to provide open access to any device that can technically support it — but AT&T and Echostar partner Frontier Wireless could end up making quite a stink with their Block B and E wins, respectively. So how does everyone feel about the results? Is Verizon the proper trustee for what is likely the single most important swath of wireless broadband to hit the US auction block in the foreseeable future, or would Google have been a better choice? Should AT&T have stepped up to the plate and taken a shot […]

This week the US Air Force achieved the first supersonic flight using alternative synthetic fuel, booming a B-1B Lancer without problems over the White Sands Missile Range airspace in New Mexico. The supersonic strategic bomber, designed to deliver atomic weapons, will be able to start Armageddon at $30 to $50 less per barrel while helping the environment and without depending on foreign oil. You read that well, you commie hippie treehuggers: war is getting cheaper, and it will help climate change, nuclear winter excluded. Looking at its composition, however, the synthetic fuel is certainly not as harmless as other alternatives.
Unlike other aircraft fuel efforts, like hydrogen-fueled airplanes planes or vodka with Red Bull, the synthetic fuel used in the B-1B is actually derived from natural gas using the Fischer-Tropsch process. The 50% synthetic fuel and 50% petroleum gasses mixture, however, is as capable as regular fuel, feeding with ease the […]

While folks at the Xbox 360 repair lab know good and well how to strip a console back to its birthday suit, Microsoft is going the opposite direction with its limited run of Grand Theft Auto IV Elites. The console itself is purportedly blasted with automotive quality paint and each one is individually numbered. Apparently, the 500 units — which look to come with a case full of peripherals — are only being dished out to press outlets and the like, so it seems your only shot at actually acquiring one is by scouring the second hand market. Or you could just steal one and toss a Molotov cocktail behind as you’re getting away — that’d be fitting, we guess.

You might recall The Onion breaking the news back in October that the Apple backlash was set to begin as of today, and if The Onion says it, it’s got to be true. Right? Sure, the Cupertino fruit company’s been riding high as of late, but if America’s Finest News Source has it, we’ll all be looking at our iDevices like bellbottoms and Betamaxes soon enough.

Here’s a nifty idea. Take a Page-A-Day Calendar, bore a hole in the middle and place a clock in it. That’s basically what designer Henk Stallinga did when constructing this Clock Calendar. With 365 pages we would suggest that if anyone were to start using this thing, start sometime around January. That way your not ripping off hundreds of pages to get to the correct date.[apartment therapy]

It’s the weekend. You should either be consuming alcohol or playing with fire. Or better yet, both! (That was not an official endorsement by Gawker Media—so if you do this project trashed and rocket a ball of fire up your nose, don’t sue us.) Anyways, making a fireball shooter is a wee bit complicated and requires quite a few parts you won’t find at Wal-Mart, so you’re going to want get started Saturday morning if you wanna impress your buddies and burn your eyebrows off Saturday night. Not convinced? I’ll repeat: Fireball. Shooter. [MAKE]
