Cellphone Battery Designed To Fail At First Drop Of Water?
Does one of the LG cellphone batteries have a sensor on it to cause cellphone failure after the first touch of water? Even though no significant amount of water has penetrated the actual battery or cellphone itself. That's what Tim wonders after conducting a little experiment and paper hack following dropping his cell phone into a tiny bit of coffee.

Subway Cheese Scam Protest Tshirt Designed
For only $12.95, you can protest Subway's cheese geometry scam in this fetching tee.
A writeup on Digg says, "The Subway cheese "problem" has been bothering a good friend for quite some time, and after he saw the latest news on the Consumerist a day or so ago, he decided to make a protest t-shirt. I may have to wear one into my local subway as soon as the shirt shows up."
Tongue firmly lodged in cheek, to get every last morsel of improperly laid isosceles cheese from our Subway sandwich that we deserve, we might just buy one.

Subway's Incorrect Use Of Isosceles Cheese Actually A Vast Conspiracy
Subway's penchant for not using their triangle cheese correctly is actually part of a diabolical mind-control plan to get you to pay more.
Back in July, Lefthandedtoons drew a cartoon mocking how Subway has triangle cheese, but never arranges it in a rhombus on the sandwich. Instead, Subway invariably lays it in a razorback formation, which the cartoonist felt led to "unnecessary dairy overlap" and "soul-crushing disappointment."
Amused, a UK subway worker printed out the cartoon at work. His boss was not amused and hung the above sign in the storage room, which reads, "Cheese triangles need to be placed [drawing of razorback formation] -> this will promote the need for customers to desire extra cheese - as it doesn't cover whole sandwich. Double cheese [picture of double razorback] = 40 p extra!"

Skype, Dark Lord of the Sith, Conspires Against StreamCast
Someone over at StreamCast Networks is channeling the ogresque spirit of Patrick Byrne: they've sued eBay, Skype and 21 other companies for engineering an insidious, overarching conspiracy to cost StreamCast billions of dollars. Luckily, they did not describe the conspiracy as originating from the Dark Lord of the Sith, but you generally don't say such a thing in a legal briefing. More »
