U.S. Navy To Use Drones & Aerial Tools In Caribbean Drug Fight
The U.S. Navy has started testing two new aerial tools that have previously been used in the wars with Iraq and Afghanistan, to help them tackle drug smuggling across Caribbean waters.
Officials believe that the deployment of these aerial tools will make it easier for Coast Guard and Navy personnel to detect, track and videotape drug smugglers in action.
One of the devices being tested by the Navy is a balloon-like, helium-filled craft called an aerostat. The aerostat is tethered up to 2,000 feet (600 meters) above a ship’s stern and has numerous cameras and sensors that take the ship’s radar capabilities from about 5 miles to about 50 miles! Data provided by the aerostat can help teams in an on-board control center to identify larger ships and monitor their movements. Continue Reading

New Windows Ad Wades Into The Apple vs Samsung Fanboy Battle
A new advert for the Windows-based Nokia Lumia 920 has sent Microsoft wading into the ongoing battle between Apple and Samsung fanboys, portraying them as idiotic and argumentative all whilst suggesting that the Nokia smartphone is a way better device!
The advert is set at a wedding, but instead of the guests being separated into families, they are divided by their smartphone allegiances. It all gets out of hand when one Apple aficionada tells a Samsung enthusiast to move his “enormous phone” out of the way as he tries to snap a picture of the happy couple. A few insults are bantered back and forth, before all hell breaks loose and the fanboys get physical! Continue Reading

Awesomely Twisted, Ze Frank Gives Teddy A Bizarre Operation!
Check out this fabulously dark and twisted video from Ze Frank, entitled “Teddy Has An Operation”.
The poor little teddy bear isn’t feeling so good, so he goes to a doctor who opens him and gives all of his organs a thorough once over to figure out where the cause of his illness lies.
Once the flap of Teddy’s belly has been peeled away, we can see all manner of problems plaguing this unfortunate little bear. He’s got fag-butts in his bonbons, his kidney crayons are nasty and gangrenous and he also fell in love with a bad boy who broke his heart (something most of us can identify with I think).

California Man Convicted Of Hacking Even Though He Didn’t Hack Anything!
California man David Nosal has been convicted by a San Francisco federal jury on 6 charges that range of theft of trade secrets to hacking, despite the fact that he didn’t actually hack into any computers. His case has been called a “novel application of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act” (CFAA) and shows that you don’t necessarily need to be a hacker to be prosecuted as one.
Nosal is currently free and awaiting sentencing and looks set to receive a lengthy prison term, however it is likely that his defense team will appeal the ruling.
Steven Gruel, one of Nosal’s lawyers said, “We think, legally, these counts can’t stand.”Continue Reading

Mayor of Reykjavik Jón Gnarr Casts His Election Vote As A Jedi
Check out this image of Jón Gnarr, the mayor of Iceland’s capital city Reykjavik, who apparently likes dressing up as a Jedi and even cast his election vote looking like an iconic Star Wars warrior in the recent ballots according to Redditor shawtay. We don’t know if voting in Jedi garb gives your ballot more force, but we sure hope it does!
Apparently, writer, actor and comedian Gnarr was elected as mayor in 2010 after he founded a political party called the Best Party. Initially the party was founded as a joke, intended to satirize Icelandic politics and politicians. One of their manifesto claims was that they would not honor any of the promises they give before election and they frequently parody the idioms and phrases commonly used in Icelandic politics!Continue Reading
