Geeks may now feel connected to Gangsta lifestyle through gadgets that are inspired by Hip-hop culture, and icons representing the sub-culture. Kristin Verby has used photography and 3D rendering in order to create these amazing and realistic gadgets that are inspired by Gangsta culture.

The series called “Gangsta Gadgets” includes sneakers, remote control, shower head and also a mouse. The Boombox Sneakers look showy like the NES Shoes and come with space to insert a DVD and play it. It seems like there would also be speakers to play music loud. It would be great to dance with the shoes on and music playing alongside.




Gangsta culture is dominated by guns and violence, and geeky lifestyle is dominated by remote controls. Thus, the Remote Glock is a great remote control which looks like a gun…kind of like the Nokia Cellphone Gun.





R. Kelly is one of the most famous R&B singers. The R. Kelly Shower Head looks all bling and golden and even seems to come with a camera lens for the pleasure of perverts.




The Booty Mouse is self-explanatory and could be a reference to the importance to big butts in hip hop culture.
These Gangsta Gadgets are cool and funny, and if they are manufactured, they would certainly be very popular. You could also take a look at the Pimpendo Nintendo Mod, which is a Gangsta inspired NES.

Up telescope! Search begins for giant new planet
Tyche may be bigger than Jupiter and orbit at the outer edge of the solar system

If you grew up thinking there were nine planets and were shocked when Pluto was demoted five years ago, get ready for another surprise. There may be nine after all, and Jupiter may not be the largest.

The hunt is on for a gas giant up to four times the mass of Jupiter thought to be lurking in the outer Oort Cloud, the most remote region of the solar system. The orbit of Tyche (pronounced ty-kee), would be 15,000 times farther from the Sun than the Earth's, and 375 times farther than Pluto's, which is why it hasn't been seen so far.

But scientists now believe the proof of its existence has already been gathered by a Nasa space telescope, Wise, and is just waiting to be analysed.

The first tranche of data is to be released in April, and astrophysicists John Matese and Daniel Whitmire from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette think it will reveal Tyche within two years. "If it does, John and I will be doing cartwheels," Professor Whitmire said. "And that's not easy at our age."

Once Tyche has been located, other telescopes could be pointed at it to confirm the discovery.

The IAU would also have the final say about the gas giant's name. To the Greeks, Tyche was the goddess responsible for the destiny of cities. Her name was provisionally chosen in reference to an earlier hypothesis, now largely abandoned, that the Sun might be part of a binary star system with a dim companion, tentatively called Nemesis, that was thought responsible for mass extinctions on Earth. In myth, Tyche was the good sister of Nemesis.

...So if it is real, Tyche may not only be disrupting the orbits of comets, it may also overturn an established scientific theory.
