Amazing Auctions Let You Buy iPads and Other Electronics for Under $40

Few things match the thrill of getting an incredible deal on an item we really crave. It’s a basic human response that we all can relate to.

That’s why auctions are so much fun – they present the titillating chance of scoring something for a lot less than we would expect. And that leaves us feeling great, because we now have the object of our desire and we have money left in our pocket.

Marketers know this and exploit it all the time –hence the profusion of sales, discounts, coupons, and the like… so much so, in fact, that we become numb to the tactic. People just don’t believe they’re really getting a bargain.

But now there’s a new online company that has actually figured out a way to sell new must-have consumer products for jaw-dropping prices.

It’s called QuiBids – and it turns out that they are selling everything from the latest new Apple iPads and iPods, to MAC and PC notebooks, to HDTV’s and gift cards from the top retailers at prices as low as 5% of regular retail prices.

Willie Wilkins, Veteran, Gets Back Dog Tag He Lost In World War II

FROM

.

Carol Wilkins leaned over the side of her father’s wheelchair and handed him the small red box, a heart-shaped cutout revealing its contents: a weathered, bent silver dog tag.

“Oh, Daddy, look,” Wilkins exclaimed as her 90-year-old father opened it, his eyes beaming and smile wide. “They’re back.”

Sixty-nine years after losing his dog tag on the battlefields of southern France, Willie Wilkins reclaimed it Wednesday after a trans-Atlantic effort to return it to him. It started more than a decade ago in a French backyard and ended with a surprise ceremony in Newark City Hall.

“I am so happy,” Carol Wilkins said. “You don’t know what joy is on my heart for what you have done for my father.”

Warp Drive Feasible? Relativity Loophole Means ‘Star Trek’ Device Might Actually Work, Physicists Say

FROM

Click link below picture

.

In the “Star Trek” TV shows and films, the U.S.S. Enterprise’s warp engine allows the ship to move faster than light, an ability that is, as Spock would say, “highly illogical.”

However, there’s a loophole in Einstein’s general theory of relativity that could allow a ship to traverse vast distances in less time than it would take light. The trick? It’s not the starship that’s moving — it’s the space around it.

In fact, scientists at NASA are right now working on the first practical field test toward proving the possibility of warp drives and faster-than-light travel. Maybe the warp drive on “Star Trek” is possible after all. [See also: Warp Drive: Can It Be Done? (Video)]

According to Einstein’s theory, an object with mass cannot go as fast or faster than the speed of light. The original “Star Trek” series ignored this “universal speed limit” in favor of a ship that could zip around the galaxy in a matter of days instead of decades. They tried to explain the ship’s faster-than-light capabilities by powering the warp engine with a “matter-antimatter” engine. Antimatter was a popular field of study in the 1960s, when creator Gene Roddenberry was first writing the series. When matter and antimatter collide, their mass is converted to kinetic energy in keeping with Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence formula, E=mc².

How Southern Women Talk

RECEIVED THIS LINK IN AN EMAIL FROM A FRIEND

.

If y’all need a quick course on how stuff Southern Women say this video pretty much covers the finer points of a southern woman’s vocabulary. Since I live in the South this was pretty much like listening to a group of Moms talking at a kids sporting event. If you want to see another fine example of a Southern Lady talking watch Understanding Southern.

3D-Printed Guns Are Now On Pirate Bay For Download, Despite State Department Efforts To Stamp Them Out

FROM

Click link below picture

.

Just when you thought the 3D gun was dead, it’s back. Just Thursday, the company that made the 3D gun blueprints, Defense Distributed, was forced to take the blueprints off of its site by the U.S. Department of State.

The issue, then? The plans had already been downloaded over 100,000 times before it was taken down and quickly ended up on Pirate Bay.

There gun has been uploaded to torrenting site Pirate Bay multiple times, and has been downloaded from the site thousands of times.

There is really no way to stop the spread of the 3D gun. Now that the blueprints have made their to Pirate Bay there is no way they’re being taken off. “TPB has for close to 10 years been operating without taking down one single torrent due to pressure from the outside. And it will never start doing that,” A Pirate Bay insider told TorrentFreak, which first pointed out the 3D gun on the now-Icelandic site. The only thing that’s currently stopping more 3D guns from being printed is the limited availability of 3D printers themselves.

Willie Jerome Manning Execution Blocked By Mississippi Supreme Court

FROM

Click link below picture

.

The Mississippi Supreme Court has indefinitely delayed Tuesday’s scheduled execution of Willie Jerome Manning amid questions involving evidence in the case, intervening hours before he was set to die for the slayings of two college students.

Manning, who had challenged errors involving evidence analysis, was originally set to receive a lethal injection at 6 p.m. CDT at the state prison in Parchman. But with mere hours remaining, the high court blocked the execution until it rules further in the case.

Manning was convicted in 1994 in the shooting deaths of two Mississippi State University students, Jon Steckler and Tiffany Miller. Their bodies were found in a rural area in December 1992.

The FBI has said in recent days that there were errors in agents’ testimony about ballistics tests and hair analysis in the case.

Air Microphone turns your iPhone into a wireless PA system

Click link below picture

.

Air Microphone is a US$0.99 app that uses AirPlay to connect your iPhone to an Apple TV or AirPlay-equipped amplifier to give you a wireless microphone.

The app is not hard to use. After launch, go to the multitasking bar on the iPhone and select any AirPlay device and start talking. In my tests, the app worked pretty well on an AppleTV with a few caveats. There are options for three EQ settings. “Normal” was just fine. “Less Bass” made me sound like a parrot, and “More Bass” made me sound like a giant Cyclops. Way too thundering, if you get my drift. The app also lets you select a photo to display on the Apple TV during your talk, but the image is proportioned like the iPhone screen in portrait mode, so I don’t think it adds too much.
