  • OK, we get it. Touchscreens. Ooh. App store. Whatever. But really, couldn’t you have done something even better with it than make it a faster and give it a cool new camera? Evolutionary, not revolutionary.source

Sports: Pacman Jones may get another Power Pellet from the Cowboys

  • Sure, he’s controversial, but they might give him another shot. In an interview Saturday night, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones asked a reporter, “Would you beat me up too bad if I brought back Adam?” Adam Pacman Jones, who was released in February, is infamous bordering on unusable for his off-the-field behavior. However, despite a six-game suspension last season, the Cowboys owner still might give him another shot, though he says it’s a long shot. Make up your mind, man. source

World: From the scene of the horrific Mexican daycare fire

  • When we went out and ran towards the nursery, teachers already had many children outside, those who could walk properly. A pickup truck broke down the walls. The dad of one of the kids broke down one of the walls with his car driving in reverse, and that helped us a bit.
  • An unidentified man at the scene • Describing how parents were running their vehicles into the wall to help get the children out of the building. The toll from the blaze now stands at 41. By the way, why does Mexico seem to be getting all the really awful news lately? Seems unfair. • source

U.S., World: 12 years?! 12 years for the journalists arrested in N. Korea?!

  • This is, simply put, complete bull$&%#. Current TV journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling, who were working on a story about defectors from North Korea when they were arrested, were sentenced to 12 years of “reform through labour.” North Korea’s prisons are notoriously awful and these journalists deserve no less than Roxana Saberi got in terms of protest and support for a fair release. While it’s argued that the jail time is a mere negotiating tactic for a country in need of one, it’s still pretty awful no matter how you shake it. source
