This Guy Didn't Know He Shot Himself in the Head with a Nail Gun [Wtf]

Dante Autullo is a tough guy. He's also, according to his wife, a very accident prone guy. So when he accidentally hit his head with a nail gun and only saw a scratch, he didn't think anything of it... EVEN THOUGH HE HAD A FREAKING NAIL LODGED IN HIS BRAIN. More »

You Won't Believe How Much This USB Cable Costs [Wtf]

I've long been over the ridiculously overpriced-ness of idiotic Vertu phones. 300 grand for a dumbphone? Whatever, the stupid rich who spend that stupidly are beyond saving anyway. But Vertu has hit a new low (or high?) with this one: a $190 Vertu USB cable. More »

The Age of $30 Movie Rentals Is Upon Us [Rant]

Following through on what probably started as an epic round of double dog daring, four major studios—Warner Bros., Sony, Universal and 20th Century Fox—have agreed that charging $30 for streaming movie rentals is a pretty great business model. Not current-run movies, either! "Home Premiere," as it's being called, only includes movies that are up to two months removed from their theatrical debuts. Shut. the. front. door. More »

A Guy Got Arrested for Using an App to Pretend to be the Police [Dumb]

Your smartphone? It can do a lot of different things with apps. Like stream March Madness games or listen to Pandora or even flash blue and red lights that mimic police lights! Alexander Welch, a 20-year old Boise kid, used that snazzy police lights app in a prank to get a car to pull over. Once the car pulled over, Welch drove away. Solid prank pretending to be the police! Well, not so much. More »

New Jersey Was About to Sell Confidential Data in an Auction and They Had No Idea [Wtf]

New Jersey was prepared to auction off some old computers and laptops in a state-run auction to raise funds, a pretty common practice in our lean times. Idiotically though, the computers, which were used by the judiciary branch, the Department of Children and Families, the Department of Health and Senior Services, and the Office of Administrative Law, still contained sensitive confidential information on their hard drives. All that revealing information was about to go to the highest bidder because no one bothered to properly wipe the drives. More »

Robbers Break Into Prison to Steal a TV [Crime]

Most sane people, like you and me, do all we can to avoid prison. Not these idiots in New Zealand though, they broke into prison to steal a 50-inch plasma TV. The numbnuts set some drapes in an administrative building afire and that's when police realized the New Plymouth Prison, a minimum to high security prison, had been broken into. The only thing the police found missing was the TV, guess the robbers, who took away on foot, didn't want to bother with the bolted down furniture and prison garb. [Stuff.co.nz] More »
