Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
The invitation to upgrade to iOS 7 has been sitting on my phone for a few days now, but I still haven’t bothered. Partly because headaches, partly because I’m going away soon and the last thing I need is a phone that doesn’t work and partly because I want time to read things like this …

The geniuses at Deadspin have struck some serious gold with this one. They’ve started a feature called We Regret The Error, which compiles mistakes and the subsequent apologies that air on local newscasts. Amazingly (not really all that amazingly if you’ve watched the 6 o’clock news for any length of time), there are so many …
So here’s one of the more embarrassingly stupid and useless things I’ve happened to catch on the news in a while. Not only is the hot weather a major story on the *local* newscast as if anybody living in the area is going to be caught completely off guard by it should they fail to …
Bahram Sadeghi has made one of the better prank phone calls of the past several years. The other day he got an email, and he permanently deleted it totally by accident. He’d really like to get it back, but not even the people at “the internet shop” can recover it. But since it’s such an …

We’ve got a beer delivering drone, so why not an iPad controlled food delivering helicopter? UK-based chain Yo! Sushi is testing an airborne “flying waiter” that could soon be used to deliver orders to customers. To celebrate the release of its Yo! Burger, the company has created the iTray, an iPad-controlled food delivery drone that …
I don’t know what the names of the crew aboard Asiana flight 214 are, but I’m pretty sure I know what they aren’t. Really, we’re not racist. Some of our best friends are Asian pilots. Indeed, to the surprise of no one other than the KTVU news team who apparently don’t bother reading anything aloud …

The world is full of initials, but what do they all mean? Here’s a video that explains a bunch of them, almost too quickly to take in. If you quizzed me, I think before watching this I could have gotten 5, maybe 6 of them off the top of my head. Now the question is …
