Taurus’ The Judge: Looks Like A Handgun, Shoots Shotgun Shells, Likely Illegal

Posted: 29 Jan 2011 10:53 AM PST

Next time someone gives you the “You talking to me?” speech, you might be able to respond with a confident, “yeah.” This massive shell shooter, dubbed “The Judge,” offers a very pragmatic approach to settling disputes — even .57 Magnum dualers will shake in their boots. The Judge creator, the Brazilian armsmaker Taurus, recently revealed the .410 gauge firearm. Also, it shoots not only shotgun shells, but .45 Long Colt rifle cartridges.

Don’t expect to see it anytime soon. In fact, Taurus pulled it from their booth at the SHOT show is Las Vegas, and said they weren’t going to make the superfluous handgun.

Silhouetter Improves Your iPhone Photos By Removing The Ugly Detail

Posted: 29 Jan 2011 09:50 AM PST

Can’t stand superficial detail? Overwhelmed by samsara? Why not strip out false detail and turn your world into the wall of Plato’s cave, flickering shadows portraying the world as it really is: a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Silhouetter is a 99 cent app that flattens and silhouettes any picture on your iPhone, creating a piece of art that comments upon the endless failure of man’s ability to mesh with a meaningful existence. Plus it probably looks great when you send it as an Instagram.
