Verizon Opens Up

Verizon has decided to open it's network to any device. Hey, wait a minute. The phone still has to be approved... Which could take a few weeks. It's not the kind of announcement you'd expect from Verizon Wireless. But the notoriously protective carrier known for crippling many of the devices running on its network, as well as suing the FCC over the open access stipulations attached to the 700 MHz auction, did a complete about face on Tuesday. In doing so, the U.S.'s second largest carrier now says it will allow anyone with a compatible phone to access its network. Do you want to know more? But yeah, any device. Awesome.

Washington Redskins Free Safety Sean Taylor Dies After Gunshot Wound

This is the saddest day to be a Redskins fan or even a football fan in general. Sean Taylor passed away at 5:30 this morning from a gunshot wound he took yesterday. Some people wanted to steal his belongings and broke into his house. Why do people always want to take what others have? Earn it your self. Now there is a little girl without a father.

Cows Flee After Seeing McDonald's

WEST HAVEN, Utah - McDonald's? The burger joint? Stampede! Eight cows escaped from a trailer when the rear gate opened as the driver pulled into a McDonald's. It took about two hours to round them up Monday. "Maybe they were going to ... hop in the freezer, save the middleman," Weber County sheriff's Sgt. Dave Creager said. Lt. Kevin Burns had another theory: "They didn't like their future." The roundup was called "Operation Hamburger Helper." A nearby resident even hopped on his horse. "I thought my eyes were lying," said Wayne Sanders, who was at a truck stop next door. "I don't know where they came from, but I'd say they'd have to weigh 800 pounds apiece and they were on a pretty good trot." read more | digg story

Safeway Select: A Tale of Mold

Mmm... Safeway brand fig newtons... So my friend went to the local Safeway on 11/5/07 to buy some snacks... It was a good deal. They were only $2.50. She gets home. Eats one. Then looks at them more carefully . You too should look at them carefully. She takes a closer a look at the expiration date, and scared the cat. Yes, it does actually say 12/27/06. Safeway actually kept an item on the shelves almost ONE YEAR after the "best by" date, which is actually the date that it should be eaten, not sold. Those Fig Newtons most likely had been on the shelves since July 2006. Anybody want to go to Safeway?
