iPhone 5: Nothing decided except October (or not)

Quite a few people seem to know someone in Apple who will fill them in on what's going on with the latest iPhone.

However, quite often, when the real thing comes out, it doesn't seem to coincide with the surefire details of that information.

So one should always take each rumor with a dram of delight and a soupcon of skepticism.

Today's comes from iMore, whose inside source reveals possible turmoil or mere mental torture within Cupertino.

For there appears to be no finalized decisions as to what the new mega-phone might contain. Will it have a more

After nine dropped cell phone calls for help, couple dies

The facts serve only to frustrate and sadden.

An elderly couple was exiting the driveway of their remote vacation home in Andes, N.Y., when their car got stuck in a ditch.

What followed, according to the New York Daily News, challenges the imagination.

They couldn't get out. So they used their cell phone to call for help. The calls kept dropping. Relatives believe there had been five calls at this stage.

So 88-year-old Arthur Morris tried to scramble his way out of the car, but he got stuck in between the bottom of the door and the ground more

Verizon's moms to company: How 'bout a contract Mother's Day?

Mother's Day exists not merely to make some people large profits, but also to raise sincere emotions.

Perhaps this is what inspired some working moms at Verizon Communications to appear in a video, which serves as a response to Verizon's current Mother's Day TV ad.

You might have been assailed by this TV ad. It's the one in which a mother and daughter spend the whole time weeping because they are both desperate for Droid Razrs or merely a desperate child-raiser and her daughter.

The point of the ad is to talk about what moms really more

Man allegedly stabs PC with samurai sword during FBI raid

The FBI must prepare its agents for most things.

However, it might have been a first when special agent Jonathan MacDonald and colleagues forced their way into the Palm Coast, Fla., home of Kamil Mezalka, whom they suspected of being involved in child pornography.

For their report claims that Mezalka, standing in his underwear, began stabbing his computer with a samurai sword.

I am grateful to The Smoking Gun for making my Friday more complete by relating this detail.

MacDonald's affidavit presents a moving description of the proceedings.

He says the FBI executed a "mechanical breach of the door" more

Fans make sport of mistakenly tweeted porn link

It is surely accepted that sports writers are the most talented employees of news organizations.

They work under the most pressure, and their creativity is unbounded.

However, with that pressure comes the possibility of pain.

So I am torn and twisted by the information brought to me through Gizmodo that Vito Stellino, the very ball-sports oriented writer of the Florida Times Union, seems to have got his links in a bind by offering his Twitter followers material of a difficult nature.

No, he didn't start Weining (that's the practice of attempting to attach a personally revealing image to more

Britain's prime minister thought LOL meant 'lots of love'? So what?

The Atlantic Ocean was experiencing rough waters this morning.

This, many suggest, was due to the sheer power of the guffaws that were being emitted from Britain's shores after it was revealed that the nation's prime minister, David Cameron, seemed unclear what it means when you write "LOL" in a text.

The Guardian reports that former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks, in giving evidence to the Leveson inquiry into News Corp.'s phone hacking, revealed that Cameron send her texts regularly.

She also revealed that he kept signing them "LOL", in the belief that it meant "more

Man says he saved bird with iPhone app

It's hard out here for a chaffinch.

People are putting up more and more houses. And then there's those solar panels that seem to have come out of nowhere. You bang into them and your head hurts more than when you've had eight pints of fertilizer.

So who is going to help you? Well, someone with the right iPhone app, it seems.

For here is the story of bird-loving tree surgeon, Leon Timms who, on discovering an injured chaffinch, operated on it with an iPhone app.

The Sun records how Timms believed the bird was fighting for more

Boasting on Facebook 'can feel as good as sex'

This morning, three women in Starbucks turned to me, smiled, gave me their cards and suggested I come to their houses for chardonnay and vinegar chips anytime I wanted.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see you there. I was just practicing my Facebook status updates.

Given that I don't really do that Facebook thing much, this hasn't been easy. But I have moved by research from the great university of Harvard telling me that if I want to seek sexual pleasure outside of direct carnality, I should simply boast on Facebook.

I can feel you calling more

When Steve Jobs went Ghostbusters on IBM

It seems as if each week, another little tale of Steve Jobs' wise and wicked ways and words emerges.

Just a few days ago, audio was aired in which the Apple co-founder compared his company in the bad times to Jeffrey Dahmer. (I have embedded the evidence.)

The quote, published in Fast Company, was: "Imagine if you're the mother of, you know, some bad kid...You're Jeffrey Dahmer's mother. Or you're the mother of some kid who's turned into a robber ... robbed banks or something, been to jail. I don't equate Apple with that, more
