Injured dog limps to hospital (story from cnn)
Man wakes up after 20 year coma (story from cnews)
Sony Recalls 18,000 Laptops (story from reuters uk)
::giant::
Whoa. Everything in this issue is from free sites so I won’t recap it too much. This preschooler is 4 years old and weighs like 130 pounds. That’s a bit much. And to think, Japan makes fun of the United States for being fat.
::dog::
What can I say about this? It’s just one kick ass dog. I say this dog, who walked to the hospital after being hit by a car, has topped out the cat-like dog for being the coolest dog ever. Seriously. No joking around with a title like that.
::coma::
All I want to say is I hope he doesn’t dress like they did in 1984…
::recall::
The headline sounds simple enough. Sony is recalling some laptops. Big deal. Recalls happen. Check out why they are recalling these laptops:
“a user could receive a shock if ‘you have connected your PC (laptop) to external power, you have disabled your phone line, (while) simultaneously being connected to a grounded peripheral, and you are touching a metal part of the PC, and your phone rings’.”
That’s right folks, ya know how often we all do that. I’m glad my laptop is external-power-disabled-phone-line-while-touching-a-grounded-peripheral-and-a-metal-part-and-the-phone-rings certified.
