http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/9ad2474784be38221a8419fbbcce6f13.gifDo you remember Creative? In the early 2000s, the company had a brief period of being cool, as its Zen MP3 players were the anti-establishment alternative to the iPod. These days, the Singapore-based company mostly makes gaming headsets and computer speakers -- nothing to do with smartphones, in other words. But thanks to a complaint filed against every big Android phone manufacturer, Creative has quietly declared war on Android. The complaint is filed against a who's-who of Android smartphones: Samsung, LG, HTC, BlackBerry, Sony, ZTE, Lenovo and Motorola. The issue at hand is music players: a…

The world’s thinnest iPhone charger tucks into your wallet for emergencies

http://androidforum.us/data/MetaMirrorCache/32951dc6c0d6a4a19d7c1acff36f5683.jpg This is easily one of the coolest things we've come across in a long time. The iPhone is a fantastic phone but regardless of how much you like it, everyone has to acknowledge that it really doesn't shine when it comes to battery life. So you always have to make sure you've got a charger nearby, and now you can carry a charger with you everywhere you go without adding any extra bulk. The LifeLink Apple Certified Ultra-Portable Cable is barely thicker than a credit card and it's the same width, so it'll fit right in your wallet and you won't even know it's there until you need it.

Not too long ago, Ferrari Chairman Sergio Marchionne said that the idea of developing a Ferrari without a standard internal combustion engine would be “an almost obscene concept” and something Ferrari would never even contemplate. Thankfully, a company called Electric GT not only contemplated the idea, but actually put together an all-electric Ferrari. The team at Electric GT managed to find a 1978 …

With the ski resort seemingly untouched for about four years, Grilc and his cohort of snowboarders were able to have their run of the place. "It's just so insane to even be up here," one of the snowboarders says at the beginning of the video, "and then at the same time to have all these features that we can ride on that you would never get a chance to ride in an open resort."

But what if there was a kind of ice cream that could actually make you scream? The CrazyRussianHacker recently tried to make a unique brand of homemade ice cream by mixing whipped cream with liquid nitrogen.
