Disneyland drunk

Visitors to California's Disneyland theme park seemed to enjoy a new attraction this week. What was the attraction? A drunken man was fighting against a Disney staff member. The fight took place in front of the Tower of Terror ride. Come on, man! There are children here!

They basically act like a smart phone. You can surf the web, get directions to Starbucks and call your mom on using Bluetooth all at the same time. In order to control the screen, the user must tilt his or her head. As rapper Busta Rhymes says…

Apple in your hair

It looks as if 2012 is starting out as a very important year for technological development. Companies are innovating and the users are grateful. Take, for example, this boy, Tao Tao from China's Zhejiang province. He shaved an Apple logo in his head despite playing games on a PC.
