      Mystery Solved? Using OpenDNS Results In Glacial YouTube Downloads For Qwest Customers

      Earlier this week, we posted an email from a frustrated Qwest customer who said he couldn't download YouTube and other online videos at a speed equivalent to the Qwest service he was paying for. Qwest wrote to us, and spoke to the customer, and swore they were not interfering with any download rates. Instead, it looks like the problem is with OpenDNS, a free service that usually speeds up downloading, but that seems to have an issue when it comes to certain video streams. More »

      Macbook Air Stabbed In Face With Kitchen Knife

      Well here's one way to say you think the Macbook Air hinge sucks... by stabbing it in the face with a kitchen knife! Ree! Ree! Ree! Ree! I dunno, maybe people who can't type also can't open and close their Macbooks properly. Just a thought.

      Slate Investigates If It's Really Illegal To Fart On A Sandwich

      Nina Rastogi decided to look into food tampering laws in the wake of our Domino's Pizza story last week. It turns out you can spit in food in Ohio without fear of jail time so long as you don't have a communicable disease. Ohio is clearly the place to work if you are an angry restaurant employee, and the place to avoid if you're a diner who easily angers waitstaff. More »

      The saga of Kristy and Michael, the two (former) Domino's employees whose on-the-job shenanigans made it to YouTube earlier this week, continues. Now there are warrants out for their arrests, and Domino's says it plans to sue them. Seriously, if you work in the food industry and are nursing some grudges, just... try to hold them in until you can find a job better suited to you. More »

      Consumerist Sleuths Track Down Offending Domino's Store

      Within only a couple of hours of our posting some gross-out videos of bad Domino's employees last night, our readers Amy Wilson and whyerhead managed to track down the location, call the store directly to alert the manager, and send the address to Domino's corporate. The only two clues they had were the YouTube handle of the uploader and a quick glimpse of the surrounding area as viewed through the drive-through window in one of the clips. More »
