With so many hurricanes and earthquakes and tsunamis and 2012 only being a year away, I wouldn't blame you for preparing for the end of the world. So feel free to buy the Noah Disaster Shelter, a gigantic yellow pod that can house 4 people.
It costs a pretty penny at $3,900 but think about how safe you'll feel (and the money you'll make) when 3 of your closest friends (or family members) come a knockin'. It's an investment people! The Noah Disaster Shelter, created by New CosmoPower, protects up to 4 people. There's a pole to hold on to and room for pillows to make it a wee bit more comfortable too. No one ever said a tsunami is luxurious.
The pod is resistant to impact and water so you can float around your destroyed city until stuff calms down. Think of it as a modern day version of Noah's ark, except you can't re-create civilization with it. I guess saving yourself is enough! [Asahi via DVICE]

A 20-year-old Irish man was caught by the Brazilian Federal Police with 72 bags of cocaine inside his intestines. This is how he looked inside, using a three-dimensional computed tomography body scanner. It's actually more disgusting than I expected.
Lenovo's ThinkPads have always been extremely well built, but pretty ugly. Lenovo's all-metal U300s is another story. Only 0.6 inches thick and equipped with a 1.8 Ghz Core i7, it's not merely interesting. Dare I say it's a little exciting?
The U300s boots in 10 seconds, has a 13.3-inch screen (1366x768 resolution), a 256GB SSD, and up to 4GB RAM. The battery lasts 8 hours and can charge to 50% in a half an hour. Compared directly against the MacBook Air and the Asus UX21, the Lenovo holds its own (on paper, at least). The Lenovo U300s will be available in November starting at $1200. [Lenovo]
The Wall Street Journal takes the first look since the fall of the regime inside Col. Gaddafi's security headquarters. You know, the one with all the tech purchased from international security firms. The complete photo journal is available at WSJ.com.
Mike Laub recently bought Bill's casino in Lake Tahoe and was in the process of renovating the building. But when he started tearing down walls, Laub found a four foot tall, black locked safe that was hidden underneath a staircase and sealed off behind a wall.
But while Mike Laub was talking to the press about how bizarre the safe was, his son, Jordan Laub has promised Reddit that he'll open the safe live online. In his words, he'll be there before the newspapers with a blowtorch and in charming teenage ignorance, says he's not worried about the mafia. The way I see it, the contents of the safe can go one of two ways: 1) whatever's inside is big enough that the mafia is going to kill someone over it or 2) it's going to be very disappointing (like Capone's vault). I'm hoping there's a third scenario. [Tahoe Daily Tribune via Reddit via @kn0thing, Image Credit: Adam Jensen/Tahoe Daily Tribune]
