Or you can even settle for the pink iPhone 4 and be the most attractive girl (or she-guy) in town. Totally pawns the trendy teens with pink bumpers. You can even watch your favorite Taiwanese or Korean drama anywhere you want. Just hook out that telescoping antenna at the left edge (though that would look bloody bad to your reputation). Yours for $80 in Shenzhen’s electronics markets, and they even come with power cable and USB cable. Though, the FaceTime camera is on the wrong side, if you really need to know.
Well, ever since the invention of mobile phones and SMS (short message service), teens have been texting in frenzy day and night. But here’s a crazy fact, teens these days type an average of three dozen times per night before sleeping. Yes, that’s done on the bed! Do they have that many friends?
The claim comes from a study by the JFK Medical Center, which concluded that teenagers send an average of 34 texts a night, often sleeping with their phones so as not to miss a single vibe. Yes, that’s absurd. Sadly, I’ve been through that period of age. But that also comes with “attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, depression, and learning difficulties.” Which many of the teens will have suffered from anyway, regardless if they send 50 texts a night, or not.
This Camioncyclette looks like my mum’s old bicycle. Except that this had too many baskets attached. Or is it? The designer, Christophe Machet, calls it “a transportation bicycle”. But it’s able to carry up to 330 pounds in those yellowish mesh baskets. Are you sure this is not an oversize shopping cart with wheels and a seat? Read more…
Well, this would be a cool thing to do, but I doubt any mothers would agree. Apparently a member of the NeilPryde rides a bicycle down a parking ramp, Ghost Rider style! What’s more, he only had his pants catch on fire once during the ride. Maybe he should really wear some fire-resistant pants. Let’s not let the kids in the park see this video. But it’s still cool to ride a bike and have fire trailing behind you. Sure scares the hell out of your neighbors.
The iPhone’s alarm failed to handle the switch from Daylight Saving Time in Europe, causing a wave of workplace tardiness yesterday. This is the second continent to curse Apple’s phone after Australia experienced the same bug last month. Well, at least people have a scapegoat to blame for being late to work now. Too bad, Apple.
Although Europe switched off of Daylight Saving Time on Sunday, iPhone owners may not have noticed the glitch because their clocks switched over fine. However, the problem lies with certain alarms, including those set to repeat every weekday, that failed to adjust to the change. The result of the glitch has been a wave of tardiness. One Gawker reader in the UK reports
Right, those of you who drink like nobody’s business on a daily basis, listen up! According to a new study from a former UK chief drugs adviser, alcohol is more damaging to drinkers and to wider society compared to heroin or crack, and all three are far more harmful than cannabis, ecstasy, or magic mushrooms. That’s right; it’s about time for you to throw away those Tequilas and Jack. I’ll gladly ‘clean’ them away for you. Read more…
