Though I’ve been to the Philippines, and “Manila Int. Airport - smoking area - Luzon” definitely doesn’t carry free WiFi—at least when I was there last.

Already suffering from infidelity paranoia, poor Susan confronted her husband. His response? The most creative reinterpretation of “it wasn’t me” ever! He claimed that the iPhone suffers from a glitch, where photos mysteriously attach themselves to emails and are marked as sent, even if no such message was sent! Now that’s some fiction! I could be wrong, but let’s see. As far as I know:
Oh no! Quite a dilemma for Susan’s husband! Does he:
In any case, visit the thread for guaranteed hilarity. And do help out Susan, as she’s declared “Has anyone ever heard of this happening? The future of my marriage depends on this answer!” Tags: dickery, glitches, hilarity, iPhone, iPhone email glitch Popularity: 1% [?]
In any case, this aptly-named Legacy USB joystick mimics the original joystick of said Atari console, but works like any other game controller designed for the desktop. It plugs in with any Personal computer, Mac, or Linux machine via USB, and costs $15. Just like the original, the controller comes with one button, but according to everythingUSB, it’s possible to modify the joystick to accommodate 10 more.

Ok, Second Life user Amy Taylor, aren’t you taking things a bit too seriously? Apparently Ms. Taylor is filing for divorce “on the ground of unreasonable behavior after her husband admitted to falling in love with the virtual female character.” Said virtual home wrecker was caught with ex-husband’s David Pollard’s avatar (both pictured above) “in a compromising position on a sofa.”
Allowed, there’s some betrayal here committed by the real-life David to the real-life Amy (pictured above). But why let somewhat virtual reality lead to the end of an apparently fruitful real-world relationship. Then again, Mr. Pollard complained that “his former wife was more interested in her life online than she was in him”. Ah, that explains it David! You choose to break her heart in a place that literally meant the world to her. In any case, maybe the end of the marriage is a good thing. Can you envision how their children would’ve turned out?

Now that J.J. Abrams & Co. have finally decided to release a full-blown trailer, because it makes Might ‘09 seem so far far away.
Too bad no one’s ripped the file and put it up on YouTube. Right now you can only rely on bootlegs, or the real deal over at Apple.com. Let’s be a tiny Mac snobbish, shall we? All those who think the new Star Trek will suck, screw you. Let’s give the new makers the benefit of the doubt! Go for a reboot and wipe clean all that established (if slightly contradictory) mythos? Are you mad? Tags: J.J. Abrams, Star Trek, Star Trek Trailer Popularity: unranked [?] Popularity: 1% [?]
Test Freaks recently played around with a Samsung SH-S223Q, a burner that promise DVD write speeds of 22x. While that may be too fast for now (the review writer admits that “there is no media capable of that yet that I know of”), the Super-Writemaster might actually represent a long-term fixture on your constantly updated desktop. The money quote:

The Nokia N96 is massive. That’s the first thing you notice when you hold this phone in your hand. Then you notice the slight UI lag, perhaps caused by all those features crammed into a phone. Less obvious is the available 16GB of onboard memory, which makes microSDs unnecessary. In any case, a full review to follow; more photos available over at Philippine affiliate Technograph.

Envision sharing a word with voice-recognition software, only to hear system confirm your word as “sex”. That’s what 
Absolutely hilarious and sad at the same time: “Susan042764″ hit the Apple.com forums, asking for help from the community. She discovered her husband sent an email to another woman—with a “raunchy” pictured of himself attached.
When the Atari 2600 first came out back in ‘77, I wasn’t even an itch in my dad’s pants. But I totally understand why everyone went gaga over the system, and why old fogeys still relish their days on the pioneering gaming machine. That’s what I feel for my NES after all.
