While I’m not sure I really need weather in an augmented reality shell, I’m sure, after waking up in a strange, sunny city after a long bender, it could be useful to point your iPhone to the sky and get your current location and weather report. Barring that, it’s a nice proof of concept.

The app, called Meteo360, has three modes. When you hold the iPhone flat it shows a weather map. When you hold it up to the sky you see the city you’re in and the current weather, and when you hold it upright it turns on the camera and overlays weather information over the current scene.

The app will be free and should be available on the Apple store next week. You can visit the website, Xiaprojects for updates.

I don’t know about you, but I’m still miffed about the way Fox treated Futurama, so I’m not entirely sure if I’d want to see Bender’s head every day, staring at me from my DVD shelf and reminding me about another brilliant animated series cut-down in its prime.

On the other hand, Futurama: The Complete Collection does include every single episode of the late sci-fi series, including the four recent feature-length adventures (which didn’t really capture the spirit of the original series) and should be mandatory for any animated series collection. And of course it also includes Bender’s head in a fake jar, and a numbered letter from Matt Groening and David X. Cohen. $159.98 from FoxStore.com available October 13, no Blu-ray.

Since today seems to be morphing into “Things That Help You Conceal Booze Day” at CrunchGear, here’s something interesting: a disposable flask. Cool leopard print, eh?

As you can see in the above photo, it’s NOT intended for hot liquids and should not be used in the microwave, so if you’re thinking about toting 7.5 ounces of hot Irish Coffee around, forget it. You will, however, be able to tuck 5 shot glasses-worth of cold booze into your pocket and then callously toss the flask into the nearest garbage can, roadway, or baby stroller when you’re done.

All this for just $2.55, though if you order 50 of them you can get them for $2.00 apiece. If you’re not down with hot leopard print, the flask also comes in camouflage, gray, and transparent.
