$10 gets you a slice of a Million Dollar Movie
Thursday, February 7th, 2008
Remember the Million Dollar Home Page where you could buy small slices of advertising and become part of something much bigger, well a Canadian film maker is seeking 100,000 investors at $10 a go for a film that isn’t even finished yet. In return you get a slice of any future profit.
The similarity seems to be that he is planning to sell off individual frames for $10 (Canadian) that will last 0.04 seconds on screen. In addition you get to display an image or video on the films website. With a total of 144,000 frames in the movie he is looking for $1.44 million (Canadian) for the film which is entitled Free For All … But You that “tells the story of a man who falls for a woman but is rebuffed because she is already committed to an “eight-sided relationship”, meaning that she can have guiltless sex with seven other people.”
With 11 minutes and 23 seconds sold to date the real question is which of the seven people have got lucky yet?

The last Dells we saw with a slot-loading Blu-ray drive were the XPS One and monster XPS M2010, but it looks like Round Rock’s taking it mainstream soon — the latest BIOS update for the popular XPS M1330 lists support for an unspecified “Blu-ray / DVD +/- RW Combo Drive.” No word on when we’ll see these actually for order, but if you were in the market for an M1330, you might consider holding off until these become available.
I’m quite sure that there are many of you out there who grew up on a diet of Batman while you were kids, which probably means you would have fond memories of Police Commissioner Gordon calling everyone’s favorite caped crusader, Batman, on this flashing red Batphone that Alfred the butler will pick up. Subsequently, millionaire playboy Wayne and his your partner Dick Grayson will don their respective winged animal-inspired costumes to go out and combat whatever evil the night brings. Ever wished you could have a similar phone like Batman, minus those calls that interrupt your sleep during the wee hours of the morning? That dream can finally come true thanks to this bright red flashing Batphone.
It’s taken a while, but it looks like we could soon be seeing a new batch of Detroit Electrics roaming the roads, as ZAP has just announced that its reviving the hundred-year-old brand for some of its own all-electric vehicles. According to the company, those will be developed in a joint venture with the China Youngman Automotive Group, and will include the Zap Alias (pictured above), which we’ve seen previously under slightly more mysterious circumstances. Other details are expectedly light at the moment, but ZAP will apparently have plenty more to say about its new retro ways at the NADA 2008 auto show, which gets underway in San Francisco next week. 
While this ‘toy’ meets all US Federal toy safety standards, this pump-action, pneumatic gun can shoot sweet but deadly marshmallows (or handfuls of mini-marshmallows) up to 40′. While the Geeks have featured another Marshmallow Blaster, the older Blaster doesn’t have near the power to shoot 40′. The easy-to-refill bolt action design ensures fast, nonstop action. Front grip is detachable for easy cleanup.
