Yes, the next you see Jack Sparrow on the big screen you'll be able see him in multiple dimensions.

POTC4 will be swash-buckling into theaters May 2011.

MSNBC uncovers sixteen new tidbits of technology and gadgets spe cifically for your beloved throne room (aka the bathroom). Some are interesting while some are just plain wacky - unless heated toilet seats are of particular interest to you.
