Join Ohio man stuffs phone up his ass
An Ohio man tried his hand at getting away from the police after allegedly using a cell phone camera to capture images of a naked woman at a tanning salon. The first search failed to yield any proof, but a second, more thorough search proved that the arm of the law is long enough to yield results, with the cell phone finally retrieved from his nether regions. Strange why he didn’t bother to delete the damning images instead of taking the chocolate highway route.

Pool Concept PC
I just learned that the Napkin PC concept that we reported on six months ago has won a Next-Gen PC Design competition. On a related note, I found this Next-Gen PC concept, and I thought it was just as practical, especially for summer.
The Pool PC, aka PC of the Swim-Rings, is a waterproof computer that has a small place so you can attach a swim ring. Then all you need to do is lay back in the ring, let your body float, and you are free to check email, surf the web, or anything else you want to do on your computer.
It has many features including a GPRS receiver, Bluetooth wireless solutions, finger-touch input, a solar power driven processor, water-cooling system, as well as a magnetic charging interface. I believe that the swim ring holder can also house some speakers for non-amphibian work.

New Kevlar XP offers Ballistic, Trauma Protection
DuPont Kevlar XP is a new patented technology which offers both ballistic and trauma protection in a more comfortable body armor solution. So far tests have shown that Kevlar XP is able to stop bullets consistently within the first three layers of a vest designed with a total of 11 layers, while the rest of the layers found on the Kevlar XP absorb the energy of the bullet. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should walk right up in front of a firefight since the force of the bullet will still bruise your body. Guess the military will find this new development more interesting than us civilians, since we don’t deal so much with bullets and are restricted by some pretty tough gun laws out there.
Survey Says 70% Of iPhone Apps To Be Free
We’re so psyched for Apple and announcements that a slightly frail looking Steve Jobs’ made at WWDC. Not only is the new 3G iPhone coming to 70 new countries in the coming months, including the UK and Canada, but Apple will be launching their App Store both native on the device and through iTunes.
Wall Street analyst Gene Munster from Piper Jaffray conducted a poll on the floor of WWDC and has come to the conclusion that signs suggest that as much as 70% of the planned applications for the App Store might be available for the price of… free!

T-Mobile has sour grapes cries foul over Starbucks new wireless deal
Claiming that Starbucks has breached its contract regarding interim Wireless coverage until AT&T’s service is fully implemented, T-Mobile is filing suit against both Starbucks and AT&T. The legal action is due to Starbuck’s current practice of offering the T-Mobile service, which can cost up to $10 a day and $20 a month, for free while the AT&T wireless service is implemented to over 7,000 Starbucks locations across the USA.

The MPAA wants to control your DVR
Seeking permission from the Federal Communications Commission (an no doubt buying … er … lobbying for the right to do so) the Motion Picture Association of America has requested a hearing from the FCC to determine if the MPAA has the right to allow video distributors to block digital video players from recording movies on television. Swell.
