Dell Laptop Explodes - Leads To Major Recall
Well I read this article earlier this week and thought I would share it. A Dell laptop blew up at a conference in Japan. lol I thought it was sort of funny, luckily no one was hurt and it wasn't on that person's lap (ouch). Some think it could be related to a battery recall made a while back recalling atleast 22,000 batteries. This computer actually looks like mine, hopefully mine doesn't do the same thing. I have never heard anything like this before. Sort of scary to believe

U.s. Teens Send 100 Texts A Day
I agree fully. When ones communication is limited, I think people are a little bit more sincere. Firing off many text messages in a day just waters down this sincerity considerably. Definitly a case of people letting the machines do all of their work for them in every way.

How or why could they have messed that? Aren't they supposed to test all the blodd they get? If they gave me blood that had the HIV virus, I would sue!!!! You could never imagin that would happen.

Well it would seem that the Pentagon got itself a juicy computer virus and banning all flash drives from entering the building and of course confiscating flash drives that do come in. Well that is what you get for letting people bring in their own computers or bring those flash drives outside a building. Of course, if it was an outside source and what they say that it goes after storage specifically then ok, but still you think they would be replacing the hard drives as well because of such a

"rocket" On Top Of School Causes Neighbors To Panic And Call 911
A neighbor called 911 when they looked across at Urbandale High School and saw a huge "Rocket" on top of the building. The rocket is actually a machine that keeps paint and drywall protected during construction. Some people who worked for the contractor who was working on the school had noticed its resemblance to a rocket as well and furthered the rocket joke by adding fins and a NASA sign to the rocket. The flames from the heater made an orange glow which could be seen from the nort
So Michael Jackson has been declared not guilty in his latest trial and he is free. I personally think he was guilty since so many similar charges have been brought up against him. I think MJ is just a plain freak from the way he looks, to his attitude, he is just sick. I don't care how famous he is or was, he should have gone to jail. Anyways, many reporters are saying that he is bankrupt anyways and that he owes about 130 mil so we are probably going to see him back in court pretty soon.

Aircraft like the F-15, F-22, F-35, and the E-10MC2A with AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radars will be able to fry the circuitry in enemy aircraft and missiles. Basically these radars can be used as HPMs (High-Powered-Microwaves) which cause an EMP affect on electronics they target. The new air force E-10 aircraft will be able to "zap" cruise missiles up to 180km away! F-22s and F-35s with smaller radars will be less effective, but have the capability nonetheless. Mor
