As much as we love Amazon and our Amazon Prime accounts, we still miss the instant gratification that comes from purchasing goods in a brick-and-mortar store and having them with you when you get home. Amazon.com Local Express Delivery ($6 and up, per item) aims to lessen this gap by offering same-day delivery for orders placed before a certain time in New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Las Vegas, and Seattle. Great news for procrastinators and the impatient, bad news for the ol' charge card.

Let's face it, we all want to drive a Lamborghini. And now we can. The Lamborghini Academy ($4500) helps you build your high-speed driving skills in the world's ultimate sports car. The Track Academy is an entry-level course where beginners get the chance to develop real-world racing skills under a professional's guidance, driving a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4. Other options include the Advanced Academy where drivers master their existing track skills, and the Winter Academy where you can truly put the bull's extreme road-holding abilities to the test, in the snow and ice. Average drivers need not apply. [Thanks, Ethan]

Springing from the legendary scouting, tracking, and wilderness survival skills of Apache warriors, OnPoint Tactical Survival School ($TBD) teaches training for modern-day professionals and civilians who want to learn the kinds of advanced outdoor skills they don't teach in college. OnPoint Tactical trains elite units like SEALs and Force Recon, as well as law enforcement units like the US Marshals. Now, just like John Locke, you can earn a professional certification in skills specialized for urban life, like Urban Escape and Evasion, Search & Rescue (SAR) tracking, as well as more traditional survival techniques like primitive wilderness survival, animal trapping, camouflage, off grid medical care, and counter and anti-tracking. Finally you'll be prepared for that walk-about in Australia, the next extended power outage, or those pesky zombie invasions.

Terrorism. Murder. Blood. Bullets. Darkness. This is the G.I. Joe cartoon you've been waiting 25 years for. G.I. Joe: Resolute ($14) is a new animated mini-series featuring classic Joes and Cobra operatives that's sure to make the live action movie look even more like a turd. Aimed at older viewers, and garnering standing ovations at JoeCon Comic-Con, Resolute consists of 11 episodes (ten 5-minute episodes and one 10-minute finale) totaling 60 minutes. We won't tell you the plot, but let's just say Cobra Commander goes totally apocalyptic on Moscow. In the first four minutes. Can someone please start a petition to turn this into a regular weekly series? Oh, and don't forget the toys.

Leave it to the air maestros at Dyson to create a fan with no blades. The Dyson Air Multiplier ($300-$330) uses a fairly ingenious design to suck air into the base, accelerating it through an small aperture in the device's ring and then over a ramp to channel its direction. As it happens, this also causes the air behind and around the machine to be drawn into the airflow, creating a smooth stream of air amplified 15 times, without the unpleasant buffeting caused by the blades of a traditional fan chopping the air. The only downside? It's a $300 fan.
