This is the jacket made from sewn together Ziplock bags by Jaya’s friend Diane. It…might be the most magnificent jacket I’ve ever seen and that’s saying a lot because I used to own a pleather Member’s Only windbreaker. The only thing that sucks about this one is that bullies can see what you’re bringing to school for lunch and might demand you Teddy Grahams on the schoolbus in the morning which is exactly why I spiked them with laxatives. You ever seen your mortal enemy shit his pants during the rope climb in second period gym class? I felt like I’d just been elected president.

It’s been a long time coming, but Verizon Wireless customers should soon have another high-end Windows Phone 8 device to lust after. After the handset was spotted both in both the FCC’s and Verizon’s systems, noted leaker @evleaks has come through yet again with a new image of the upcoming Nokia Lumia 928 (formerly known as the “Catwalk”).
There’s not a whole lot to be gleaned from the image save for the fact that the device seems to have done away with the rounded sides and flat top and bottom edges of its immediate predecessor the Lumia 920. As it turns out, one of the neatest features of the initial Catwalk leak is nowhere to be found here — according to The Verge, the Lumia 928 will sport a more traditional polycarbonate body instead of the aluminum chassis that was originally slated for the device way back wehn. Most of the 928′s internals (think the 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage) are expected to remain the same as its cousin the 920, but Nokia may run with an OLED panel this time around rather than the IPS LCD as seen in the 920.
In short, it’s hard not to think of the Lumia 928 as what the Lumia 920 should’ve been when it launched.
According to recent figures from Kantar Worldpanel, Windows Phone has managed to pull away from BlackBerry in terms of mobile OS market share, and devices like the 928 should help Microsoft’s mobile efforts pick up a little more steam in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, Nokia has been working to make its Windows Phones the most feature-rich out there with exclusivity agreements with companies like Zinio, so it’s clear that some developers are starting to see the benefits of embracing the prospect of developing for the Windows Phone platform.
That said, WP’s third place position isn’t completely safe at this point — BlackBerry posted some promising quarterly financials and if recent leaks are to be believed, a low-cost BlackBerry 10 device with a QWERTY keyboard could see the light very soon. Z10 shipments point to reasonably healthy demand, and an affordable device launched in key markets could be just what the doctor ordered for BlackBerry.
Facebook unveiled its new Home family of apps earlier this week, with a strong focus on “people, not apps.” Microsoft’s head of corporate communications, Frank Shaw, has taken to the company’s official blog to voice his issues with Facebook’s presentation. Shaw jokingly notes he had to check his calendar a few times, not for April Fools, but “because the content of the presentation was remarkably similar to the launch event we did for Windows Phone two years ago.”
Shaw takes issue with Facebook’s idea of putting people first over apps, something that first debuted in Microsoft’s original Windows Phone 7 announcement over three years ago. Shaw, who is regularly involved in Microsoft’s battles against Google, digs at Android, noting it’s…
Today Facebook finally took the wraps off Home, a suite of apps and a home screen replacement for Android phones. It’s not just a new UI for launching apps however, it replaces the lockscreen with Cover Feed and prioritizes updates from people instead of apps. There is a standard paginated launcher, that is always just a swipe away. But the focus is on the full-screen images that are you welcome screen. These are status updates from friends that you can easily flip through and double tap to like when someone posts something exciting. Plain text status updates are placed over a user’s cover photo, to keep the appearance consistent with photo-centric posts.
Notifications are presented as small cards, which Facebook applies an algorithm to, in order determine the updates that are most important to you. Just like with the standard Android UI you simply swipe notifications off screen to dismiss them. But, if you want to remove all of them in one shot, you long press a single notification and the rest will be drawn to it and you’ll be able to dismiss the entire stack.

Question by Gin C: Can you use the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus Wifi only model with sim to send SMS and call other mobile phones? The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus has HSPA +21 900/1900/2100 and EDGE/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 for cellular connection. Does that mean that with a sim in place you could already send SMS and call without the 3G?
Best answer:
Answer by SarathNo. It’s only wifi capable and you cannot use cellular connection to make call or send smses.

Because wrinkles and third-degree burns are mutually exclusive, Fountain Of Youth seekers in China are heading to the spa requesting Huǒ liáo, a beauty treatment that involves setting an alcohol and magic potion-soaked rag covering your face on fire. What could go wrong? SPOILER: The lady performing your facial leaves to take a phone call.
The idea behind Huǒ liáo is to place a towel soaked in alcohol and a special “elixir” on the face, legs or other parts of the body, then light it on fire for a few seconds. This action apparently stimulates the skin and addresses dullness, sagging and wrinkles.
Sounds questionable, I’m going to need to see some medical studies or a commercial with a convincing CG animation of wrinkles being “drastically reduced over time.” I’m joking, just cover me with oil rags and toss a match on me. Not only am I going to look 18 again, but I’ll smell like a barbeque. And, if there’s one thing I know about men *putting on ‘Kiss The Cook’ apron* it’s they love the smell of burning meat.
Hit the jump for a video in case you weren’t sure if the treatment can be applied to your entire back as well (it can!).
