That's right—just you, your mouse, and a whole sea of hyperlinks.
That was the challenge leveled to participants of Trailblazers, a web browsing competition that recently held its inaugural contest in Stuttgart, Germany. Participants were challenged to "Surf the classic way from amazon to pirate bay."
From a chart posted on the Trailblazers site (which is designed, we'll say, in a "neo-classical" web style), it seems as though an individual named "tobi" earned the old-school surfer crown.
The next Trailblazers competition will take place on September 3 at Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria. Make sure your peripherals are regulation ahead of time. [Trailblazers via TodayandTomorrow via The Atlantic]
Update: Thanks to honorary web surfing champion of the evening, commenter Justin, for finding these pairs, which were apparently the actual challenges for each successive round of the competition. I guess "amazon to pirate bay" was just their tagline?

They hail from Denmark, and adding further weight to the idea that Scandinavia is the king of design, they've been created with help by a tidy list of electronic acts, like 2 Many DJs and Hot Chip.
Supposedly taking inspiration from the sound quality of Sennheiser's HD 25 'phones, Aiaiai wanted to create a more durable and robust pair with minimal branding according to this interview they did with Slamxhype.

That's right: every one of the Rubik's Cube's 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible positions can be solved in 20 moves or less.
That figure—the maximum number of moves it takes to solve the Cube using the most efficient algorithms possible—is called God's Number. In 1981, it was thought to be as high as 52. By 2005 it was at 28. And now, using a program that can solve the Cube in 20 seconds over 35 CPU-years of idle computer time donated by Google, it's been proven to be exactly 20.
Of course, for the true Cube-heads, there's plenty of interesting math behind the discovery. For the rest of us, there's just the nagging knowledge that we've gone about 400 rotations too far. [Cube 20 via Slashdot]

Historious seems to fill the nice gap between searching through your web history and your browser's bookmarks. Sometimes, you visit a helpful how-to or help page that you'll need to return to later, but your bookmarks bar only has so much precious room—and it's usually reserved for quick access to those sites you visit on a daily basis. Searching your history can be a bit overwhelming, and even more refined search terms may come up with many results that are hard to filter through. Historious essentially creates a custom search engine for stuff that you've bookmarked for later.
Like most sites, you can easily bookmark a page with the Historious bookmarklet. One of the biggest perks to Historious, though, is that unlike other sites, it actually searches the content of your bookmarks, not just the titles and tags. Thus, even if you can't remember the headline of an article, you'll probably be able to find it with a few choice keywords. The signup is free, although there is a premium option ($3 a month) that provides a few extra features like filtering by date and searching through PDFs. Hit the link to check it out.

You're probably wondering how you'll get 2TB or so into a single CF slot of your D3S. Or even if you're not, you're probably wondering how you can strap a trio of CF cards together for a 6TB slab of flash storage. So far as we can tell, PhotoFast's the first with an adapter that enables devices with CompactFlash slots to accept those minty fresh SDXC cards, which would theoretically allow anything that understands CF to now recognize. The GM-7300 SDXC-to-CF adapter is expected to ship next month in Japan for ¥2,980 ($35), but there's no word yet on when it'll be headed up over the Bering Strait and down into the US of A.PhotoFast GM-7300 SDXC-to-CF adapter gives your pro DSLR another storage option originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 09 Aug 2010 11:36:00 EDT.

Whether you're using your smartphone as a webcam for your PC, running FaceTime on your iPhone 4, or anticipating Skype's upcoming Android app for your Evo's front-facing camera, this little hack makes video chat a bit more versatile. Now, instead of being tied to your computer, you can pick up your phone and turn it around, move to a new room, or even carry on your conversation as you leave the house.
TUAW's mod merely consists of some cardboard, duct tape, and the top of a wire hanger. It certainly isn't the prettiest hack around, but they certainly did their homework on it. Each nook and cranny in it has a purpose, whether it's allowing tethered devices, charging yoru phone, or accomodating external speakers. With a bit of ingenuity you could probably fashion something that isn't so ugly, too—and if you're really clever, you could even find a way to do it without covering up a giant portion of your monitor. Hit the link to check it out, and let us know what ideas you might incorporate to a smarphone video chat mount in the comments.
