See All the 2010 Super Bowl Ads in One Place

Did you blink during the Super Bowl commercial breaks? Too bad if you did, because it means you may have missed the anemic number of gadget or tech-related commercials worth talking about tomorrow at the water cooler. But! Megan Fox!

Megan Fox is an obvious choice, for obvious reasons (if she’s your thing): She had a Motoblur, and we’re a gadget blog! See? Obvious. Anyway, tweeting from a tub on her new phone, she pondered what would happen if she sent a picture of her bathing out to the world. Hijinks ensued, people were hurt, and even a gay couple somehow got distracted by the fox that is Megan Fox:

And such is the power of Fox that there were scenes that didn’t make the final cut.

Then there was Beyonce, fresh off her Grammy performance, performing again for Vizio. Surrounded by Internet memes and celebrities, Twitter and what appeared to be an army of automobile assembly line robots (hopefully not ones from Toyota), she sang and sold that company’s Via/Internet Apps technology. Think Internet on your HDTV, not because I say so or because that’s exactly what it is, but because that’s the message Vizio assaulted viewers with during the 60-second clip:

Tough love was the story for Intel’s Jeffrey the Robot. The commercial was supposedly for Intel’s Core processor line, but I know the truth: Robot uprising. It 20 years’ time we can all look back at this commercial, when poor Jeffrey was snubbed For The Last Time by his human overlords:

Lastly, there’s one we actually covered yesterday. Google. Its poignant ad about a search-happy boy in love with a French girl aired yesterday, on the Internet, which is probably fitting. We’ll revisit it again here if you missed it tonight:

Sigh.

Personally, for me the ads were a bit stale this year. Even the Bud Light beer ads, which have made me laugh out loud on occasion in years past, felt a little tired. Betty White was a standout though, and there were back-to-back ads depicting grown men in their underwear. Possibly a first there. Also a first: Seeing a two-timing baby talk about eTrade while his “milk-a-holic” girl on the side blew up his shit over a webcam.

The one Bud Light ad I will give props to, however, was their Autotune bit. It’s a stretch including here on Gizmodo, but we have a history with that app (iPhone, anyone?), and we’ll take an opportunity here to thank Budweiser for hopefully killing the tech off for good with this Super Bowl ad:

OK, I admit it, I smiled a bit watching that a second time. Guilty.

The entire crop is over at YouTube in one convenient package (Fox’s is notably absent at the moment, although they appear to be updating throughout the night).

Even at 4-inches, The Qisda QCM-330 Dwarfs the iPad’s Resolution

You hear the 9.7-inch iPad has a screen resolution of 1024×768, and you think to yourself, that’s not so bad! And it’s not. But when you later hear that a new 4-inch smartphone will feature a resolution of 1280×1024, well…

…it’s just tough to be floored by anything less.

(Those of you noting the discrepancy between the spec resolution and the general wideness of the screen: you’re right to do so.)

The Qisda (you also know them as BenQ) QCM-330, expected to debut at the upcoming CeBIT tradeshow this March before being available through Vodafone, features a 4-inch, 1280×1024 screen that could be sharper than life itself, along with HSDPA and Wi-Fi.

We don’t know much else, other than that it will most likely run Android given the Home key (which makes the prospect of importing a phone for its hardware alone so much more appealing). But if you’re one of those people who doesn’t like to use the same phone as other people, the QCM-330 might be a decent handset to watch. [Unwired View via SlashGear]

Historic Naval Gunship, Fully Cloaked

After Japan destroyed the Allied Fleet in WWII’s Battle of the Java Sea, the Abraham Crijnssen, a minesweeper, was ordered to escape to Australia. To avoid detection, the 186-foot boat was simply covered in branches. [HNSA via MAKE via boingboing]

Shoot From The Hip With Brando’s Camera Belt Lock Holster

Just because you didn’t make it into the police force, it doesn’t mean you have to go through life with a naked belt. Strap Brando’s camera belt lock on for size, and feel the testosterone course through your veins.

You can unlock it in just a second according to Brando, so that all-important kingfisher shot is never missed, and then to secure it safely you just push it down again on the lock. They don’t specify compatibility with manufacturers, but judging from the photo it looks like Canon 350D owners are sorted—and for only $14, too. [Brando]
