iCloud has its benefits, but I’ve never really considered it as an anti-theft tracking device. So, in something a little more lighthearted, here goes. Kate McCaffrey was recently on a Disney cruise, when she had her phone stolen. Now, if I had my phone stolen on a cruise, I’d probably consider that the end of that. Let’s be honest, whoever took your…

Seen here making the researcher in the background jealous he didn’t get a beverage, a paralyzed woman uses a mind-controlled robotic arm to drink her morning coffee. If I were her? I would have made the arm punch itself in the elbow until it broke. I DON’T NEED YOUR HELP, TERMINATOR.
Because the pathways between the brain and the limbs are cut off in paralysis cases, the Brown team decided to skip those pathways altogether and send signals directly from a brain-implanted sensor to the robot limb.
The technology still has a ways to go — researchers want to miniaturize it and create a wireless version — but it could be a major breakthrough in allowing people with paralysis to accomplish more tasks on their own.
Yeah, a wireless version would definitely be better. I’m not a big fan of having things attached to my head. I get nervous enough wearing a hat. But seriously, I think we can agree all mind-controlled robotic arm users should undergo psychiatric analysis before being allowed to operate one, because all it takes is that one guy who thinks “KILL KILL KILL, CHOKE CHOKE CHOKE” to ruin everybody else’s fun.
Thanks to Amy, Global and Mark, who control robotic arms the old fashioned way: with magic spells.

A 41-year old woman in England changed her name to one with 161 words in it because she’s (presumably) fresh out of high school and will never have to write it at the top of a homework assignment again. Her new, horrible name, in it’s entirety, is (cue that fast-talking Micro Machines guy):
Red Wacky League Antlez Broke the Stereo Neon Tide Bring Back Honesty Coalition Feedback Hand of Aces Keep Going Captain Let’s Pretend Lost State of Dance Paper Taxis Lunar Road Up Down Strange All and I Neon Sheep Eve Hornby Faye Bradley AJ Wilde Michael Rice Dion Watts Matthew Appleyard John Ashurst Lauren Swales Zoe Angus Jaspreet Singh Emma Matthews Nicola Brown Leanne Pickering Victoria Davies Rachel Burnside Gil Parker Freya Watson Alisha Watts James Pearson Jacob Sotheran Darley Beth Lowery Jasmine Hewitt Chloe Gibson Molly Farquhar Lewis Murphy Abbie Coulson Nick Davies Harvey Parker Kyran Williamson Michael Anderson Bethany Murray Sophie Hamilton Amy Wilkins Emma Simpson Liam Wales Jacob Bartram Alex Hooks Rebecca Miller Caitlin Miller Sean McCloskey Dominic Parker Abbey Sharpe Elena Larkin Rebecca Simpson Nick Dixon Abbie Farrelly Liam Grieves Casey Smith Liam Downing Ben Wignall Elizabeth Hann Danielle Walker Lauren Glen James Johnson Ben Ervine Kate Burton James Hudson Daniel Mayes Matthew Kitching Josh Bennett Evolution Dreams.
Apparently the former Ms. McManus changed her name to draw attention to her charity, Red Dreams, which encourages children to build confidence through creative projects. Now I don’t know about you, but when I was growing up we built confidence the old fashioned way: yelling at yourself in a bathroom mirror. LOOK AT YOU — YOU ARE A SMART AND FUNNY GUY. NOW GET OUT THERE AND ASK THAT GIRL TO THE DANCE. YOU CAN DO IT! YOU MIGHT NOT BE THAT ATTRACTIVE, BUT TWO OUT OF THREE GOOD QUALITIES AIN’T SHABBY. Now get out there and — is that a pimple? You’re actually pretty Quasimodo looking. What are you thinking trying to ask that girl to the dance? Maybe go for the girl with the club-foot instead? You know, you could always stay home and play video games. Yeah, f*** it, there’s always next year. SPOILER: that was senior year. I’ve since Photoshopped myself into other people’s prom pics I found on Facebook.
Thanks to Evil Ares, who’s so evil he changed all his FRIENDS’ names to really long ones so he’s always be the first one to finish a test in school and feel like a smarty-pants.

Picture related: worst f***ing nightmare.
45-year-old Marek Olszewski went to visit his dentist ex for a procedure just a couple days after breaking up with her FOR ANOTHER WOMAN and, in a move that proves hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, she put him under and yanked EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HIS TEETH. Afterward, his new girlfriend broke up with him, because, well, she didn’t want to have to chew his food for him. But I love playing baby bird!
The dentist, who works in Wroclaw, Poland, said: ‘I tried to be professional and detach myself from my emotions.
‘But when I saw him lying there I just thought, “What a b******”.’
Mr Olszewski said: ‘I knew something was wrong because when I woke up I couldn’t feel any teeth and my jaw was strapped up with bandages.
Mackowiak is being investigated for medical malpractice and abusing the trust of a patient. She could face three years in jail.
Dude, that was pretty dumb of you. Maybe you should have considered ball reduction surgery first so you’d stop living your life with such COMPLETE AND UTTER FEARLESSNESS. Come the f*** on, man — visiting your dentist ex a couple days after breaking up with her for another woman? What are you, Polish?
Thanks to roo, Brandon and Katie, who serve revenge cold because you’re less likely to be implicated that way. SMART. *sending old enemy a box of cat turds* View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome
