The next time someone really pisses you off and you want to get back at them, buy them a birthday present they’re sure to hate. Like the Strawberry Slicer. Who in their right mind needs a strawberry cut up this much? Grab a fucking knife and chop twice and you’re done. At $6, it won’t bust your wallet and will make a great gag gift.
It’s 10pm. Do you know where your children are?
Chances are they’ve caught on to a strange new trend developed by David Edwards. Dave makes Le Whif breathable chocolate and it’s the new trend that’s shocking parents around the nation. You simply use the inhaler-like device to breath in particles of chocolate. At $4 a pop, this is an expensive habit for your young ones. Let’s see what parents around Long Island, NY think about it:
“Oh my gawd! I’ve got to go through their rooms now!” -Sheila Yablonski
“Chaw-co-lete? Why would kids want to whiff chocolate? It makes no sense. It makes no sense.” -Patricia Lovington
“Where do you buy them? I need to get some for research purposes.” -Roseanne Barr
There you have it folks. Whiffable chocolate is taking over our children and our minds.
Today, we celebrate the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. I don’t get it, but hey, at least most of you have off from work and school today!

You know how China is a land of freedom in terms of copyright laws, with all those small brands copying Nokia phones and iPhones with the sole consequence of making (good) money. Now how about a big brand copying another big brand, this time being staged in the land of Japan? Jump for more drama.
Back before Vista was even released, we were confused as to what the “Vista Ready” or “Vista Capable” stickers on certain displays were all about. As it turns out, even MS execs are hard strung to come up with an explanation.
A current lawsuit against the company focuses on the “Vista Capable” branding as being confusing to PC buyers, and even Mark Croft, Microsoft’s director of marketing, displayed a certain amount of confusion and even sympathy for the plaintiff about the mis-branding. Microsoft better get their shit straight or they might have a serious problem on their hands. — Andrew Dobrow
LG-Phillips LCD (yes, a joint company project) has announced a new LCD display technology that could allow for larger screens on many mobile devices in the near future. By building the driver circuit right into the screen console itself, the new technology reduces the bezel siding of the screen to be only 1mm thick.
This means that some screens could be around 10% larger, without the screen console taking up anymore physical room. It would just be utilizing more of the space that it already uses. No matter how small the bezel becomes, I don’t think we’ll ever get to own our very own massive LCD. — Andrew Dobrow
