Barack Obama Becomes Owned-bama
Barack Obama is all about spreading the word of hope. His counterparts would like you to think otherwise, as can be seen by a recent hacking of Obama’s very own Hope.net. The hacker smeared the site with red lettering which says “Spread the word! Barack Obama has no security on his web site! Will his administration have no security?”, later editing the text to read “To the media! Stop saying Clinton hacked Obama. They want nothing to do with this. You spread lies.”
I’m not sure whether this was a legitimate hack or not, since removing the “www” from Hope.net will take you to the normal appearance of the website, though the addition of the www still takes you to the defaced version of the site. If so, is this a prank from one of the Nutcracker’s supporters, as the links clearly point towards Hillary’s website? — Andrew Dobrow

No commentsMassaging Backpack Makes It Easier To Lug Your Shit Around
Despite the fact that there have been giant leaps in terms of ergonomics for gadgets, overuse can still cause your body to feel as if it’s falling apart. If they didn’t, there would be no market for massage items such as these. The Massaging Backpack might still cause you to ache, but at least it provides a solution for a sore back.
Remote controlled, the Massaging Backpack works your back muscles with a customizable pulse and rumble which is supposed to ease your pain, at least better than a Boombox Backpack could. Whether it actually accomplishes this goal is debatable. Get your for around $63. — Andrew Dobrow

No commentsGoogle Goes Back To The Future…Again With April Fool’s Prank
Google never ceases to amaze with their annual April Fool’s antics, and this year, the search giant brings the joke right to their main search page. Launching a new “service” called gDay, which shows you tommorows search results, before they happen.
We’re sure this will come in handy for those who play the lottery or gamble their savings away at the tracks. It’ll also be fun to use as a spoiler the evening before election day. — Andrew Dobrow

No commentsTeeny Bopper Mag Offers Free Nokia 6630
Although a few years past its prime, the Nokia 6630 was one of the smartphones of choice, back before the devices were as common as hobos. Sure, the S60 2nd Edition 6630 only has a 176 by 208 pixel screens, but teeny readers of Girl Talk get a free device with purchase of the magazine, which is pretty cool in my book.
Of course, the free Nokia 6630 is offered in that nauseating shade of Pepto-Bismal pink, but what the hell. It’s a free phone right? Consider me fan of Miley Cyrus and Ashton Kutcher if that’s what it takes to get a free phone. You know the phone is obsolete when a charm bracelet comes first on the list of free girly schwag. And those stick-on jewels look a little too much like birth control pills for my taste, which good go perfect in their Hummer Night Club after one too many wine coolers. (more…)
