Picture Blocking Beer Cooler Keeps Your Face Out of Embarrassing Photos
Dec 16th
cylonlover writes “It may sound like something dreamed up by a cheesy men’s magazine as a joke, but apparently this is a real thing that actually exists. Ostensibly, the Norte Photoblocker is a functional beer cooler surrounded by four sensors that can detect the flashes from cameras or cell phones. If a flash goes off in the direction of the Photoblocker, it fires its own flash to flood the resulting photos with bright white and obscure anyone nearby. Now you can go about your usual business of cheating on your spouse, being an idiot around your boss, or drunkenly harassing fellow party-goers without worrying that some wildly irresponsible person will tag you in a photo and posts it online.”

Judge John Hodgman decides … is using a strategy guide cheating?
May 4th
You may find this hard to believe, but we agree with you: Video game podcasts are boring! Here are the games we’ve been playing; here’s a digested audio blast of the week’s news; here’s an email from a fourteen-year-old with an entitlement complex. We’re glad to be done with them.
But we’ve got a problem: There’s an overwhelming dearth of non-video game podcasts about video games. So it’s with great pleasure that we bring you the following news: The latest episode of Judge John Hodgman, the popular comedy podcast featuring the titular nerd wunderkind, is titled Tips and Tricks and Justice (trivia: You have our own Justin McElroy to thank for the title). The case before Judge Hodgman: Is using a strategy guide for a video game tantamount to cheating. To help Hodgman render a verdict, he’s enlisted expert witness Morgan Webb who brings some street cred to the proceedings.
Want to know what game pushed Josef to the edge? Or maybe why his friend John says it’s cheating? You’ll find the podcast at the Source link below and just after the break … a poll, so we too can judge strangers. It’s so empowering.

Sega resets Sonic 4′s leaderboards due to cheating
Nov 29th
Posted by admin in Games
Look, Sonic the Hedgehog is fast. He can run faster than the speed of sound, but even if he ran full speed through Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1‘s shortest level, it would still take him longer than 0’00″00 to do it. That’s just physically impossible, even for an improbably proportioned and colored hedgehog. And since some hackers have posted those times and impossible scores on the game’s Xbox 360 leaderboards, Sega has decided to go through and reset the whole thing.
That means you might have to go back and try to re-earn that record time you picked up on Lost Labyrinth Act 2 (no easy feat). But you might not want to grab that controller right yet — Sega hasn’t actually announced a fix, just reset the leaderboards. So there’s a good chance the hackers will still hack, and there will be another reset to come. Thanks for nothing, cheaters. Can’t we all just let the hedgehog run?
(Also, cheating at Sonic? Where did our innocence go?)
