Ingenious creative advertisements for WMF Knives by advertising agency KNSK, Hamburg, Germany. Take a closer look and you will notice that the sculptures are carved out of fruits and vegetables such as carrot, pineapple, radish, strawberry and others. Fine print reads ‘For those who value precision: WMF Grand Gourmet blades. Unsurpassably sharp and manufactured from unique special blade steel’.

Advanced Micro Devices has rolled out four new AMD Phenom processors for desktop PCs, which the company will give it a boost in its ongoing competition with Intel in the multi-core processor market. Although AMD’s offerings don’t stack up to Intel’s own quad-core processors, the company is hoping the new Phenoms’ combination of performance and price will appeal to the PC enthusiast community as well as OEM manufactures. “These new AMD Phenom X4 processors unlock even greater visual computing performance to showcase the unparalleled scalability of the AMD enthu

Hey, electronics consumers and students of human despair! Its time for another edition of Ask a Paranoid Psychotic, the only column that brings you the gadget advice you need with the delusional ravings you enjoy. Lets get right to it before the cable company sends David Schwimmer to strangle us all and grind up our corpses into fuel for their weather-controlling satellites.
Dear Paranoid Psychotic,
Im looking for a webcam that provides decent-quality video chatting and conferencing functions, and preferably includes a multimedia headset. And of course, I have a limited budget to work with, so the fancy caviar webcams are out. A friend recommended the Philips SPC700NC/37, but I wasnt sure. What do you think?

Dear NAZI,
I know it doesnt matter since the radiation from our toasters is giving us all stomach cancer anyway, but Im just going to come out and ask: who are you working for? Who sent you? I just find it a little coincidental that you wrote me with a gadget questionand I happen to write a gadget column. Not to mention, ex-CIA agent Philip Agee died just a couple of months ago in Havana, where he was forced into exile in 1975 after blowing the whistle on the Agencys scheme to take control of the domestic fried-chicken industry by slipping DMT to Colonel Sanders. Notice his name was Philip. One L. An unusual spelling. And yet here you are asking me about the Philips webcamalso spelled with one L. As Green Day said, It all keeps adding up. So tell your masters, and we both know who they are, to find themselves another patsy. I didnt let the smokescreens and dirty tricks of the Nickelodeon network throw me off the trail of the real story behind 9/11, so Im certainly not going to play ball with you or your overlords. Now I have to go. Theres a woman walking down the street wearing a Toronto Blue Jays cap the very same Toronto Blue Jays who implanted circuitry into my kidneys to make me crave Labatts and Im pretty sure thats not a baby in her stroller. It all keeps adding up.
Thanks for nothing -
