Super Bowl food recipes can’t get any more simple than the 5-minute chocolate cake. All you need is: a “microwave, coffee mug, 4tbsp flour / sugar, 2tbsp unsweetened cocoa/ whisked egg, 3tbsp milk / oil / chocolate chips, and a splash vanilla.” Video after the break.
This cake is still good half an hour out of the oven. In fact, I think it gets better the longer it sits, but I can’t speak to how it does after that, since there’s never any left.

At first glance, Nokia Ovi Maps Racing looks like a standard 2D racer, but upon closer inspection, you’ll realize that this game turns any street into a racetrack. It’s compatible with any Nokia phone running Symbian S60 5th Edition, also known as Symbian^1. Video after the break.
The game lets you chart out your heated battle using nothing more than Ovi Maps data and your finger, meaning Manhattan, Prague, or your folks’ quiet, peaceful neighborhood are all potential targets for your high-speed bedlam.

Here’s a first: YouTube user “toninikkanen” has managed to get the full version of Mac OS X 10.3 running on a Nokia N900, albeit a bit sluggishly. Continue reading for a video demonstration.
Obviously the interface needs to be modified, but a full OS does give you legit web browsing, multitasking, and you’ll be able to browse your files and folders.

The photo above purportedly shows a 4th-generation iPhone prototype sitting atop an iPad, and it seems that the aluminum bezel has been replaced with a black plastic or rubber (camouflage?). Continue reading to a close-up.

Located in Henderson, Nevada is the beautiful Zappos.com office, which houses 700-plus employees in two buildings. While not as large or high-tech as the Google headquarters, they still have plenty of fun, as you’ll see after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.
One thing that you are sure to notice is that creativity and expression are large parts of the company culture. This is seen through each employee�s cubicle and each department�s conference room, which they design for themselves.

Have an empty Yoplait Smoothie bottle, a Land-O-Lakers spreadable butter container, and an X-Acto knife? Then put all three to good use by making a functional hummingbird feeder. Just cut two nectar port holes (diameter of a pencil) at each end of the butter container lid, carve a hole in the center (smaller than bottle top), push the top of the bottle through, and then attach zip-ties to hang it. Video after the break.
Video game-based movies are nothing new, but when fans take matters into their own hands, things don’t always work out. Final Fight: The Movie is an exception. It’s centered around Mike Haggar, the “wrestler-turned-mayor” of Metro City. Video after the break.
…while a very tasteful take on the series, has made one small error: Jesse Ventura is the only man on the planet who can play Mike Haggar.
