Congratulations, you are the winner of…..Hello?…Hello? Apple’s contest to find the 10 billionth downloader is finally over and the $10K prize was about to be awarded to the lucky winner. The only glitch was the lucky winner hung up on Eddy Cue, VP of iTunes, thinking he was a telemarketer.
You might wonder why Cue himself didn’t make the call. It could have been because it had, indeed, been Cue, rather than a telemarketer, who had made the original call and received a polite British brush-off.
This cute little snowman survived a 5,314 mile journey from Japan to the desert of Bahrain without any refrigeration. The only things keeping him alive in his cardboard box were some new vacuum insulation panels designed by Panasonic.
Basically, the folks at Panasonic had this clever new product sitting around and needed a way to show it off when they just happened to get “a message on their Facebook page from a Bahraini girl named Amna al-Haddad, who wanted her younger brother Saleh to see snow for the first time.”
At first I thought this was some kind of joke but, as odd as it may seem, it’s not. Money scented perfume / cologne? I don’t think you are going to like the kind of girl that stuff attracts.
Patrick McCarthy, a vice president of sales at Microsoft, took a break from his day job to create His Money Cologne and Her Money Eau de Parfum, a line of his-and-hers fragrances that are designed to make the wearer smell like a million bucks — or more, depending on how much you put on.
The 47-year-old piloted the Queen Anne table, set for a silver service dinner, twice down a 500m track at Santa Pod, Nottinghamshire, last weekend.
The table, named “Fast Food”, reached a top speed of 130mph and averaged 113.8mph, comfortably eclipsing the 92mph set by a sofa in 2007.
WASHINGTON, Jan 20 (Spoof Times) – The largest country in the world, Communist China, effectively has won World War III against the United States without firing a single shot.
Chinese President Hu Jintao walked victoriously out of the White House with a somber looking President Barrack Obama following behind him. As the two stood on the White House lawn, a Red Chinese soldier planted the flag of the Asian giant into the ground as Hu saluted.
Hu then made a brief statement that was translated into English to the crowd in attendance: “It was only a matter of time, but after many years of patiently waiting for the right moment, we have, in effect, foreclosed on the United States. Using weapons against the American people such as Wal-Mart, where we steadily drained the wealth of your country by filling the store shelves with cheap trinkets made by our slave labor, and by constantly buying your debt to pay for your military adventurism and empire building; we have effectively bought out your country; lock, stock and barrel.”
After the ceremony, the contingent made its way to the West Wing, which now has an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet, serving the finest in Chinese cuisine.
