I guess this is ok as long as you don’t give it to your children to play with.

What happens when old Russian buses are retired

published on July 5th, 2007 . by joe

If I had one of these old buses, I’d just drive a route on weekends for fun. :)

It usually has maybe already old-fashioned “back from sixties” interior, but still it’s OK for short trips.

But when the city bus companies cancel it on route it goes to the private hands of crafty Russian people, look what they can do with an old city bus for their everyday needs

$600 not enough to pay for your iPhone? Dip it in crystals!

published on July 5th, 2007 . by joe

This is just too much.  I’d love to meet the person stupid enough to pay for this.

They immersed the Jesus phone in a pool of real swarovski crystals and more than 3000 Tiny SS7 swarovski crystals were individually affixed to the iPhone. You can choose your blinged Jesus phone in many patterns and colors at Crystal Icing for $295

Retired British woman used an live shell as a door stop for 20 years

published on July 4th, 2007 . by joe

I guess she’s lucky nobody closed the door too hard over the years.

For decades the seven-inch-long shell had been a family memento, polished and given pride of place on the mantlepiece.

The First World War relic also served as a toy and finally, for the past 20 years, as a front doorstop at the home of 68-year-old Thelma Bonnett.

At any time during all those years, however, it could have exploded.

The German squat shell was live, packed with its original payload and with its firing mechanism primed, experts have said.

DVD Jon Hacks iPhone to activate without AT&T

published on July 4th, 2007 . by joe

It’s not a secret that I think the iPhone is a complete waste of money but I am a fan of the idea of being able to do what you want with what you pay good money for.  I guess Jon Lech Johansen’s hack makes it so that you can use everything on the phone except the phone.

I’ve found a way to activate a brand new unactivated iPhone without giving any of your money or personal information to AT&T NSA. The iPhone does not have phone capability, but the iPod and WiFi work.
