I know there are quite a few readers who would like this so I thought I would share this little tidbit. The website www.bookseller.com has been collecting a list of all the absurd book titles they can find. Some of my favorite include:

“Are Women Human? And other International Dialogues.”
“How to Write a How to Write Book”
“If You Want [...]

I just read a great article on Reuters about a guy in New York who went to the bank one day to find out he had over $5 million in his account. This is the same account that only had $800 dollars the day before.

Turns out this guy Benjamin Lovell withdrew over $2 million [...]

I was at CES when Warner Studios announced that they will no longer be supporting HD DVD. That was considered the nail in the coffin of HD DVD. Toshiba then decided to do a full fledged marketing campaign to revive HD DVD. Rob Beschizza of Wired has reported the final death rattle of HD DVD announced [...]

This was one of the hardest articles I have ever written. The pictures I have posted below are from an email I received from a relative in Europe who happens to be a police officer. The header on the email was, “Don’t text and drive”. The guy was texting whilst he was driving and ‘wandered’ [...]

Usually we would not cover such a thing but I actually was actually surprised when I read this little tidbit on BoyGenius.com. It seems like Microsoft is buying out Danger Inc. I guess that means that the Danger OS will be going the way of the wind. I wonder what a Windows Mobile Danger handheld [...]

I have never made it a secret that I’m a huge ‘Apple’ fan.
It occurred to me the other day that the small ‘Trackball’ on my Curve matches the small ‘TrackBall’ on my wireless Apple mighty mouse. A few people who have used my computer absolutely hated it preferring instead the standard mouse ‘clickwheel’. I guess [...]

I received an email from a friend containing a few tricks with mobile (Cell) phones. At first I just disregarded it as ‘Junk’. Some of these we all know…ie: International emergency phone number as this tip is included in every mobile phone instruction booklet I have ever read. But I decided to try the tip [...]

Mike Masnick reported on Techdirt about a scary twist on the fourth amendment. According to a paper written by Adam Gershowitz, a criminal law professor, police have the right to search the contents of your smartphone if you are arrested. I am no lawyer but the idea is that if you are arrested then any [...]

Richard Blakeley is either the very calculated or just plain dumb. During CES he videotaped himself turning off LCD TV’s during certain companies presentations. He did this to Motorola, Intel, and Creative. Gizmodo made some pretty serious enemies from this stunt. On the other hand, from the last time I checked Gizmodo’s video post it [...]
