Samsung’s ST1000 Wi-Fi Camera Launched

Gizmodo AU

You know, I don’t think most people care whether their camera has Wi-Fi or not. I mean really, it’s not that hard to plug in the camera via USB, or even take out the SD card and stick it in a reader to get pictures from the snapper to your computer. But there’s a subset of people who would find Wi-Fi very useful in a camera — and I’m one of them.

BlackBerry Internet Service’s Data Is Down Across The Globe

Your Bills Will Now Make You Poor And Fat

Bacon-flavoured mmmvelopes are envelopes with adhesive that tastes like bacon. So when you seal an envelope, you get the taste of bacon and a deep feeling of emptiness inside yourself. So it’s kind of a double-edged sword.

1984′s “Masterpiece Of Micro-Processor Technology” [NSFW]

Hey, that’s their words, not mine — I’m almost lost for any. “Sculptured by a European artist … the Erotica phone plugs into any wall-jack and is fully-guaranteed.” I bet, just look how classy this gent seems with an ear full of cleavage.
