In Goodyear, AZ we had someone take down a whole power pole. Took out power to about 4000 homes in my area. The guy claimed he "enjoyed [the] sparks". He had apparently previously been arrested for copper theft. Picked a fantastic day to do it too. 115 Degree high that day... The wife and I spent the day at a friends house. http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2008/07/15/20080715swv-arrest0718.html

The Logitech G5 Laser Gaming mouse may not be able to bear my children, but it will raise them.

I'm pretty sure Logitech has brainwashed me. My wife's computer has a Logitch DiNovo Mouse/keyboard setup, I've got the G5, and my laptop has a logitech ball mouse. The other day, I woke up with a headache, couldn't remember the night before and I had a fresh Logitech symbol tattoo on my forehead.

Logitech Makes 1 Billionth Mouse 456

Smivs writes "Logitech has hailed as a major landmark the production of their one billionth computer mouse. The news comes at a time when analysts claim the days of the mouse are numbered. 'It's rare in human history that a billionth of anything has been shipped by one company,' said Logitech's general manager Rory Dooley. 'Look at any other industry and it has never happened. This is a significant milestone.' The computer mouse will achieve a milestone of its own next week when it turns 40. It was 9 December 1968 when Douglas C. Engelbart and his group of researchers at Stanford University put the first mouse through its paces."

Artists Strive To Wrest Rights From Music Industry 287

eldavojohn writes "The funny thing about the RIAA & BPI is that the artists are just as tired as the fans with how online music is being handled. So they're trying something new called the Featured Artists' Coalition. FAC's site states in their charter: 'We believe that all music artistes should control their destiny because ultimately it is their art and endeavors that create the pleasure and emotion enjoyed by so many.' As digital releases are increasing, the artists aren't seeing any more money. With the advent of online distribution, are the traditional music industry functions of promotion, samples, radio, and marketing now nothing but costly overhead for the artists? From Iron Maiden to Kate Nash to Radiohead, some big names are backing this new organization."
