Video - Blackberry Torch Gets Torn Down
Kudos to Crackberry for being the first to take apart RIM’s new slider. Upon disassembly, the team discovered an interesting magnesium slider mechanism that should supposedly last upwards of 150,000 cycles. Watch Crackberry’s video of the disassembly or hit up the source link for more pictures!

Those snazzy guys over at ICanHasInternets have rooted through the dumpster of useful (but mostly useless) information (which is the internet) and have created this epic photo gallery of famous pop icons portrayed in ways you never dreamed. All of the bases are covered, from Sesame Street, to Friday the 13th you’ll see your favorite characters deliberately portrayed out of context in the weirdest ways possible.

How an underground Digg mob got complete control of the site »
How an underground Digg mob got complete control of the siteThis is a story of obsession of beliefs, and how it can drive you to take drastic measures, and eventually take control of the worlds largest social news website, Digg. This is probably the most interesting articles I’ve read this month, and by far the deepest look past the fluffy shell, and into the ugly shadows of Digg. This is an article about a right-wing extremists group called DP, and their fight to take over Digg.

If YouTube, Facebook and Skype were made in the 50's
What if social media was thought up in the 1950’s? What if the Internet was a public convenience 60 years ago? Well, if that were true I’m sure Facebook, Youtube and Skype would have been at their peak, just like they are today. These are some really beautiful vintage ads for our favorite online service, created by Sao Paulo ad agency Moma. I want to know, if you could see a 50’s ad for a modern online service, what would it be? 4chan counts (I guess).

5 Ways Jersey Shore is Just Like Final Fantasy
I would have never thought that a great video game franchise like Final Fantasy could ever be compared to something like Jersey Shore but i guess i was wrong. The 5 similarities are quite true and hilarious at that.
I will never look at these two things the same ever again…

AT&T HTC Paradise and Fiesta Leaked via Craigslist?
This is one of the strangest leaks we’ve seen in quite a while. Both where the leak came from and the device itself that is. Apparently, some dude picked up two “AT&T samples” off of Craigslist. The so-called HTC Paradise appears to be a mashup of the rumored HTC Vision/G1 Blaze and an HTC Aria while the Fiesta, if I’m not mistaken, is a lower end version of the Desire. All we know about that device is that it has a 3.2 megapixel camera. Not too shocking for a low-end Android device. In conclusion, it’s nice to see some cool looking low-end Android devices hit the scene. It foreshadows the death of dumbphones as we see them.
