There are people in this world who really do not have very important things to do with their time, as is proven by this woman who called 911 because the Chinese restaurant she was at got her order wrong.
A 72-year-old woman, living on her own in St. Francis Bay, killed an intruder early Sunday morning after she had been tied up, threatened and shoved in a cupboard. I am entirely unashamed to say that I think this woman is awesome and should be awarded the Victoria Cross and The Congressional Medal of Honor.
The Global Commission on Drug Policy has released a report stating that the ‘war on drugs’ has failed. Like Dame Judi Dench and Sting, the 19-member panel – which includes Sir Richard Branson, Kofi Annan and former leaders of Brazil and Mexico – is urging for the decriminalization of drugs. The USA is not amused.
So Joshua Kaufman had his MacBook stolen in March. Which sucks – he reported the crime to the police, but they couldn’t help, due to lack of resources. Except Kaufman has the Hidden app on his MacBook, which lets him remotely stalk and photograph the thief – and put them online. Thanks, Internet.
Yay, future. If you’ve had a digital camera stolen, you can upload a photo taken with the missing camera to StolenCameraFinder.com and it’ll use the serial number embedded in the image to search for matching photos online – meaning you can find the douche who took your stuff.
And you thought it was just Apple and Google! Gosh. TomTom has admitted that its satellite navigation devices can track users and report to third parties about how fast they’re going – like the police, for instance. Your TomTom is a speed camera now.Yay future.
Anonymous, the online sort-of-anarchic sort-of-activist group, forced Aaron Barr, head of HBGary Federal, the massive American tech security company, to resign. Which is sort of a huge deal in the way that Charlie Sheen isn’t. Even though I love everything that Charlie Sheen touches.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, is attempting to trademark his name for use in “public speaking services” and “entertainment services.” Personally I’d exercise a little more energy on the whole ‘I’m being extradited to Sweden for charges of rape and sexual assault,’ thing, but maybe this is more important.
In what is being described as a miracle, a Pretoria man has survived being shot 17 times.
How do you like them apples, Fiddy?
An attempted smash-and-grab at a Northampton jeweler was prevented when a red coated woman started walloping the six armed gang members with her handbag. The would-be-thieves attempted to escape on their scooters, but fell over. And got hit with a handbag again. I’ve seen this movie before.
Because this convenience store conveniently has samurai swords just hanging around, I guess. Hey, you guys saw Pulp Fiction, right? Apparently this robber guy had knocked over fourteen 7/11’s before getting chased around and caught by samurai-wielding store clerk over here.
Since Hollywoodland, he’s been on the comeback trail. Although, it’s not that difficult when you’re following up roles as a blind superhero in Daredevil and Jennifer Lopez’s play thing in Gigli. This is the life of Ben Affleck, whose career has been peppered with the good, the bad and the ugly.
The town of Celebration, Florida, the Stepford Wives-style community that Miley Cyrus’ parent corporation, Disney, built 14 years ago, has finally entered the big leagues after experiencing its very first, bona fide murder.
Marisol Valles, 20-year-old criminology student, recently became police chief of Guadalupe, one of the most dangerous cities in Mexico – because no-one else wanted the job. Guadalupe is second only to Juarez in terms of violence; Valles was “the only person willing to accept the position.”
We chatted the other day about this new concept in the East, which presents uncaptured TV news in animated form. A good example would be the scene where Steve Slater grabbed two beers and jumped out the plane. None of this was caught on camera but apparently in China they got a good idea of […]
It doesn’t get more emboerrissing than a former Police Chief and head of INTERPOL, being found guilty of corruption. Burn in hell, Jackie Selebi. Former head of interpol and SA’s Police Chief, Jackie Selebi, has been found guilty Former police chief Jackie Selebi is a person with low moral fibre, who cannot be relied upon, […]
According to a report by Shanghai’s Southern Weekly, the southern Chinese city has a bit of a McProblem. And that would be the McRefugees. It’s a pretty heavy vibe.
