The leaked gray iPhone 5S may or may not be a real thing.

The rumors continue to leak out about the iPhone 5S.  Just when you thought the color wheel had been rolled away, it looks like there might be a further surprise between now and the expected September 10 launch of the new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C.  That surprise?  A new color!  That’s right, the rumored gold iPhone 5S has been joined by a new rumored color.  The iPhone 5S may also be available in graphite, or as we call it here in the real world, gray!

Technically, it’s gray with black trim, but I have to admit I actually really like the way it looks.  Perhaps I’m biased by the fact that my car is also considered ‘graphite’ as it is a dark gray with black trim.  Or maybe, just maybe, I like it because it reminds me a whole lot of the black and gray-looking leaked iPhone 5 from a few years ago.  Either way, I think any changes made to the line’s color scheme by Tim Cook and company will be kind of an improvement.  I don’t want any hot pink iPhones or anything, but I do like the idea of getting my phone in a color not white, so that’s a big deal.

Usually, when someone talks about hot beats, it’s just because they really like the music.  However, one unnamed woman on a flight from Beijing, China, to Melbourne, Australia, got exposed to some really hot beats.  A woman’s headphone burst into flames while she was wearing them! It’s just not safe to enjoy yourself anymore, between […]

This will be the last Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to ever be on an airplane.  After all, the phone has been pulled from shelves and pockets all around the world, because the phones tend to, uh… catch fire and/or explode.  It’s not a laughing matter if you’re flying over the Rocky Mountains with one in […]

Since 2014, Craig Sager has been caught in the fight of his life.  He’s been battling leukemia since 2014, and he’s had multiple stem-cell treatments and rounds of radiation, and he continues to struggle against the disease for all he’s worth.  He’s been a very public face for most of his life, and now he’s engaged […]

The Red Cross is a wonderful organization.  When there’s trouble, the Red Cross is there setting up shelters and handing out food and water.  The Red Cross is normally very sensitive to the community needs around them, to boot.  However, sometimes, something will slip through the cracks that just looks wrong.  One of these things is […]

One of the most famous features of Matt Groening’s fictional town of Springfield is a strange one.  Springfield is home to a giant, perpetually burning tire fire.  I guess considering the town also has a nuclear plant that routinely leaks glowing green waste into the town’s water supply, the tire fire isn’t such a big […]

Gas prices don’t usually go down.  They go up.  Gas prices rose for decades, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, but always up on a long enough timeline.  Not long ago, $4 a gallon for gas was a very real proposition.  Nobody thought prices would go in the other direction, and yet… gas prices are going down […]

Fashion designers look for inspiration everywhere.  Some of it is pop culture, like Friday the 13th-inspired hoodies.  Other fashions are inspired by low culture, like deluxe Snuggies.  Some people turn to the culture of their past for inspiration, like the 8-bit video games they grew up on.  Italian fashion house Moschino is partnering with Nintendo […]
