People love Apple products.  From the game-changing iPod to the iPhone and the iPad, Apple has made a fortune finding niches to fill with its products.  Between popularizing MP3 players to putting the smart phone into the hands of hipsters, Apple has managed to become a consumer electronics company and not a computer company.  According […]

Without a doubt, there are three things you can say about the Stanford Cardinal men’s basketball team this season.  They were the second-best team in the Pac-12.  They were the 69th best team in the country.  They are the postseason NIT champions.  It’s small consolation for a disappointing seasons, but the Stanford Cardinal crushed the […]

It’s been over 40 years since man first walked on the moon thanks to the brave astronauts of Apollo 11.  Now, an important artifact of the race for space has been discovered some 14,000 feet below the surface of the earth.  Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos is planning to find and recover the F-1 rocket engines […]

Spike Lee is a good to great director of movies, but he’s got a problem.  A lot of times, Spike Lee says things without thinking.  He talks.  A lot.  And he’s not exactly the most accurate person when he speaks and especially when he posts to Twitter.  Once again, Spike Lee’s quick tongue has gotten […]

For whatever reason, the multi-state Mega Millions Lottery just seems to be hitting higher and higher jackpot numbers.  It wasn’t all that long ago when Mega Millions hit $335 million, but that’s chump change compared to the current high the jackpot has hit.  The current Mega Millions jackpot will be a staggering $476 million dollars […]

Apple has a history of blaming its problems on other people.  Remember when the iPhone couldn’t make phone calls due to design flaws, and Steve Jobs said the problem was the way consumers were holding the phone and their evil left-handedness?  Well, Apple is at it again, but not in America.  In the continent/country of […]

There are a lot of things that pilots can do that can endanger passengers and crew.  There are things from simple accidents like coffee spills, to fatigue from long hours and even in-cabin accidents that can put lives at risk when you’re traveling at hundreds of miles an hour, but for the passengers of JetBlue Airways […]

Tim Duncan is an NBA legend.  He’s not flashy or acrobatic–after all, he’s The Big Fundamental, known for his consistency.  His other team mates might get all the attention due to personal-life wife-stealing drama or their bat-killing prowess, but not Duncan.  He just shows up, plays basketball, and leaves.  At least, that’s what he normally […]

James Cameron is a crazy man.  The brilliant director, who gambled big on Avatar and ended up making one of the most successful movies of all time, has an obsession with the ocean.  Between Titanic and The Abyss, the dude just loves the ocean for whatever reason.  This love of water extends to his personal […]

In a month, Chipper Jones will be 40 years old.  At the start of the 2012 season, he will have spent 19 years as an Atlanta Brave, and he will have been in the Braces organization since they drafted him in 1990.  He’s been an anchor at third base for most of that time, barring […]

Apparently yesterday was a pretty big day for football news.  Not only did the Bountygate punishments come out, the NFL’s most popular player also switched teams.  When Peyton Manning signed with the Denver Broncos, you knew Tim Tebow would have to go somewhere else to play his unusual trade.  What nobody expected was that Tim […]

One of the best things about Twitter is the fact that it is an evolving medium.  In fact, Twitter is changing every day, right before our eyes. Last year’s top 140 Twitter accounts to follow will never be the same as this year’s top 140 Twitter accounts to follow, and that’s part of the joy […]

Since Jersey Shore hit MTV in 2009, cast members have been drinking and partying for many years without much of a break.  The show has crammed five seasons into a very short time span, and as the show enters its sixth season, it turns out that some of the cast are needing a bit of […]

It seems strange to think that a movie can make over $185 million dollars at the box office and still be considered a huge bomb, yet this is the world we live in.  Movie budgets are bigger than ever, and studios aren’t exactly adjusting to a lowered set of expectations.  Take, for example, Andrew Stanton’s […]

When it comes to police officers, the officer in question should always be on his best behavior.  That’s true when he’s off the clock, but it is doubly true when on duty.  On-duty police officers are always being watched, either by people around them or by the wide variety of surveillance devices in their patrol […]
