ASYLUM - For all mankind

We know a lot of people who are constantly checking their smartphones. It's not just because they're bored of our company or have ADHD; rather, they need to know what time it is, and why wear a watch when you've already spent a few hundred bucks on a phone that has, among other things, a clock?

Kempler & Strauss reasoned that its only a matter of time before everyone's going to start to pine for '80s-style digital watches. So, they've created the W Phonewatch. Aside from the necessary Bluetooth connectivity, there's an SD slot to accommodate MP3s and games. It supports a finger-touch interface and looks like a snap to operate, if you have super-excellent vision.

The W goes for $200 (about $230 local money) and will start to ship at the end of February. [via GadgetCrave]

Remember that crazy sex incident at a Darwin petrol bowser late last year? In case you forgot, a couple were busted getting it on in the passenger's seat while parked right there at the bowser. Even after police showed up, they kept at it for a few more minutes.

Well the gent in question has appeared in a Darwin court on charges of public indecency. He is set to be sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty.

The thing we're wondering is, where's the woman? Reports suggest the man is the person being charged. Surely there's two people involved here. And as the woman climbed into his seat and "moved her body in a way that indicated the pair were having sex."

Sure, maybe he's just the first one to appear on the charges. But we'd like to think women are getting a free pass to explore uncharted territory in public. Of course, there was also the matter of drinking. And stealing the car...

Sadly, the best our friend could muster when asked why he got on the job in public was "No comment."

We were hoping he'd embrace the experience and run with "well she asked me to fill her up!"

Believe it or not, there are people out there who pretend to be down with the nerd rabble to boost their geek cred in a bid for money and attention. It's horrifying to consider, but that smoking-hot model-cum-movie-starlet may not actually give a sh-t about the latest X-Men series.

She most likely had her personal assistant do a little research and feed her some buzzwords so she could put up a good front in an interview with the columnist from "Uber Geek Quarterly." ("Yes, Frank, I love comic books. My favorite character is Wolverine. He's so hot, and he's got those claws. I know he'd keep the paparazzi away!") And as quickly as she memorized the material, it's gone -- just like the lines from her last finished scene.

Keep reading for our list of the most egregious offenders who fake geek good.

Remember our good banking buddy who got busted looking at hotties on live TV? Well one of those hotties, Victoria's Secret stunner Miranda Kerr, has backed an internet campaign to save the Australian banker caught on live television looking at racy photographs of her on his computer.

David Kiely, a trader with Macquarie Private Wealth, was caught during a live television feed viewing the near-nude photos from the Australian model's recent GQ shoot.

After initial speculation that he had been sacked, it has since emerged that he has been holed up in his Sydney home on suspension while Macquarie undertakes an investigation into the incident.

Word has now come through that Kiely will be allowed to keep his job. So keep an eye out on that seat over the left shoulder of Macquarie's spokesperson. Who knows what Kiely will show us next.

Footage, and more, after the jump.

Our friends at FilmDrunk are reporting that Universal Studios has green-lit "Fast Five," which would be the fifth installment in the "Fast and the Furious" franchise.

Wow. That's a lot of burning rubber. "The Cannonball Run" was only allowed one real sequel, despite a cast that included Burt Reynolds, Terry Bradshaw, Jackie Chan and a monkey.

Does this mean "The Fast and the Furious" ranks among the best car movies of all time? Hardly. But it certainly adds credence to our theory that Paul Walker has pictures of Universal executives in very compromising positions.

Of course, there have been a ton of great car movies produced over the years. We've listed a few, but realize we are only scratching (keying?) the surface.

Do you rate American Graffiti? Ronin and it's awesome chase? Gone in 60 Seconds? A classic like Bullitt? Or something else?

Snowboarding legend Shaun White (no, us neither) suffered a brutal crash at the Winter X Games Friday night while attempting a 1260 trick called the Double McTwist. We struggle with that one, too.

The snowboarder's face smashed into the superpipe at a high velocity and his neck appeared to jerk backwards. Fortunately, White was not seriously injured. He remained at the event and captured his third consecutive X Games title. White says he is already beginning to feel better.

So... Winter Olympics in a week, then. Footage after the jump.

Our happy hour fact to amaze your drinking buddies with.

Husbands and wives who use "couple- focused" language fare better in fights.

Researchers taped 154 middle-aged and older couples discussing past conflicts. During the session, the scientists monitored participants' heart rates, body temperatures and amount of perspiration, as well as less physiological indicators of stress.

The couples who referred to themselves with inclusive pronouns like "we" and "us" became less agitated when recapping marital disagreements than couples who use individual pronouns like "I" and "you." Previous studies have suggested using "we" boosts overall marital satisfaction.

Regardless of these results, couples who call each other by the same pet name -- like "Shmoopy" -- still need to be socially shunned.
