Cricket Gets the iPhone

Given the state of the economy for the last decade, it’s no surprise that many people don’t have a credit rating high enough to get them approved for a cell phone contract with AT&T or Verizon.

The smart phones currently offered by Go Phone and other pay-as-you-go cell phone companies leave quite a bit to be desired, and they aren’t cheap, either.

Big In Japan

When we ran our piece on Swedish J-Pop sensation Yohio, we were unprepared for the torrent of comments we received. Most of the comments were from committed J-Pop fans who took offense to our characterization of the genre as “bad” and nitpicked about the difference between “Harajuku” and “Lolita” styles, and between the subgenres of J-Pop and J-Rock (we’re guessing one is poppier and one rocks harder).

Denver Outfits Ambulances with Subwoofers

CBGB Movie Gets Cast

There have been a lot of punk rock biopics in recent years.

The latest is the story of legendary New York club CBGB, given the uninspired title CBGB.

Finally, A Light Bulb Made Of Wood

Ryosuke Fukusada is a Japanese designer working in Milan, and it was his brilliant imagination that led to this incredible and bizarre creation.

Jaguar Tweets Complaint About Mad Men

Last Sunday's episode of Mad Men dealt with the company's attaining Jaguar as a new client. Since the partners at the firm realized how big of a deal it is for the company to get a car account, they did everything (literally everything, and no one really thanked Joan for it) in their power to win the Jaguar execs over, and while they won out onscreen, in real life, Jaguar wasn't too pleased.

We don't have much to say about this other than it's darn amusing. We'll watch Bill Nye explain science's mysteries anytime.
