The battle for (unjustified) high-end luxury Android devices continues, this time with the latest from TAG Heuer dubbed the Racer. Taking design cues from Formula 1 cars, the device looks like a little closer to a weapon from Square’s Deus Ex than a luxury sports car although, apparently, it’s the materials that make it stand Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Android Phone Fans Discovery Date : 12/03/2012 10:39 Number of articles : 2
Uh-ohhhh, Kola Boof might lose her husband-fawking mind if THIS goes down! The world may yet see photographs — and even video — of a dead Osama Bin Laden. The conservative group Judicial Watch has sued for release of the materials under Freedom of Information Law, and they apparently have a case, The Atlantic Wire reports. Former Justice Department privacy official Dan Metcalfe told the Website that a government brief in the case effectively concedes “portions of the records that are legally required to be disclosed.” That could mean redacting portions of the images that show U.S. military personnel or technology, but not the slain terror leader, according to the report. The CIA has argued that such a disclosure would “trigger violence” around the globe, Wired.com reported. After offing the terror leader in Pakistan last May with a “double tap” of gunshots to the torso and head, Navy SEALs snapped pictures of his corpse to show they got their man. The Obama Administration nixed conspiracy theories by showing them to a select group of lawmakers, who agreed that the “gruesome” photographs proved Bin Laden’s death beyond a shadow of a doubt. Keep it 100, don’t YOU want to see these pictures if they are released?? Source Flip the page for a gallery of a few of the “real” Bin Laden death pics
Trust us, you HAVE to read this one! This is one way to get more bang for your buck. The Duet is a new, sleek, multispeed, waterproof vibrator – and it doubles as a USB drive with up to 16GB of storage. Its designers, Ti Chang and Michael Topolovac, realized that the biggest complaint from women about vibrators had to do with the hassle of cords, batteries or obscure charging devices. They discovered a USB connector was the solution. “You look at it plugged into a laptop, charging, and it doesn’t look anything like a vibrator,” Chang said. It comes in a variety of colors. And if you spring for the deluxe model, it functions as a flash drive. Chang and Topolovac, of the San Francisco-based design firm Crave, joined forces when they realized they shared a vision to help women find a comfortable, discreet sex toy. Says Ti Chang about her new-age, get-busy, doohickie: “I don’t understand all the rabbits, the dolphins … the materials are often cheap and the products poorly made,” she said. And thus, the Duet was born. They say “necessity is the mother of invention”, and to hear some women complain about their sex lives clearly this invention is necessary. Ladies, would you replace your current “device” for something like “The Duet”??? Source
