I suppose it is widely documented that hardcore drinkers often come with a beer belly, evidence of years of boozing. Eventually, this group will evolve into a couch potato, gaining weight on a steady diet of TV programs, pizza and beer. This makes walking over to the fridge to bust open a new six-pack sound as challenging as climbing Mount Everest, which is why the Remote Control Drinks Cooler is heaven sent. Not that the celestial powers up there would want to see you in such a sorry state though, but at least you don’t have to move unless you really have to. The remote control has a working range of 30 feet, and the Drinks Cooler itself can hold up to a dozen beer bottles or 10 cans. (Read the full post about ‘Remote Control Drinks Cooler’…)

Everyone and their brother has been sending in links about how there was a comment made by Chris Stephenson, the GM of Marketing for Zune, that mentioned that they are trying to find ways to mesh Danger and the Zune team. As of now it’s just a comment, and there’s no confirmation or discussion of a Zune Phone. Our guess is that Danger is being tapped for their UI experience because their operating systems have always been super intuitive and easy to use. But there’s always the possibility of a Zune Phone, but the question is “Would anyone buy one?”

A concerned half-sibling’s letter… To my dear sibling Miuro, Hi, how’ve you been doing? I heard you’re still up to your old tricks, rolling around to the tune of the music you’re playing, and displaying emoticons on your screen-face. Anyway, the reason I wrote is that I wanted to ask if you’re still mad that our dad, ZMP,got with my mum, Sega Toys, and had me? I promise I’m not so bad, Miuro, I have an emoticon-displaying screen-face too, and people tell me I look just like you! I mean, I don’t have your camera or your wireless LAN, but at a tenth of your 500 price, we have totally different markets! We’re not rivals, my dear sibling, so please come back home soon.

NTT DOCOMO and its regional companies announced today that they will begin marketing Prada Phone by LG, a full touch screen mobile phone for the Japanese market, from June. The LG Prada has been redeveloped specifically for DOCOMO. Handset features include an intuitive, full-size touch screen with vibration touch to improve usability. This function activates whenever users touch screen icons to make a call, use e-mail, take and view photos or listen to music. The 2 megapixel camera is equipped with a German-made Schneider-Kreuznach lens and auto-focus capability. (Read the full post about ‘LG Prada redeveloped and marketed by NTTDoCoMo in Japan’…)

Klipsch is a name synonymous with great sounding audio, and the Palladium P-39F doesn’t only offer superb audio but it does so with a clear conscience. I say so because it comes clad in a “Linia” veneer, which is available in three different finishes and proves to be a very close match to rare zebrawood. After all, it was carefully hand-selected and made from real trees in government-sanctioned controlled harvests - sounds more like a jam advertisement, hand-picked berries and all that jazz. The only drawback is the price - you would have to be loaded in order to afford the £7,685 asking price. (Read the full post about ‘Klipsch Palladium P-39F Speakers’…)

In a rather bizarre effort to protect sensitive company data, T-Mobile has announced that its Sarnia, Ontario call center employees will no longer be allowed to use pens, pencils, or note pads in the open. If they must used them, they are required to keep them in their locked desks between uses. Taking the new policy even further, they’ve also required that all photos and papers on cubicle walls be laminated so they can not be used to write on. While it’s easy to understand a company wanting to protect its data, this new policy is just a bit ridiculous. (Read the full post about ‘Pens, paper not welcome at T-Mobile call centers’…)

AT&T’s on-again-off-again free WiFi for the iPhone has finally been made official. The busy iphone-user-about-town will be able to access AT&T hotspots around the country – all 17,000 of ‘em, including those in Starbucks (which hardly counts as free as you have to buy a cup of gravel stewed in water). A special Gadget Lab Imaginary Prize for the first reader who spoofs the user agent with a non-iPhone browser and sends a screenshot (my email is at top right).
