In a stunning piece of astronomical news, the planet Sol III — better known as “Earth” — has been completely obliterated. In connection with this sudden catastrophe, authorities have questioned a resident of neighboring planet Sol IV (Mars), who is known to have made threats against Earth in the past. This questioning is thought by many to be a formality, as most sources indicate that the destruction was caused by a foolhardy group of scientists in central Europe.

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:03:18 -0800 Illegal Immigration: There's an App for That http://nicolasharnois.posterous.com/illegal-immigration-theres-an-app-for-that http://nicolasharnois.posterous.com/illegal-immigration-theres-an-app-for-that

From a group calling themselves Electronic Civil Disobedience comes the Transborder Immigrant Tool, a simple mobile application intended to aid and abet border-crossers from Mexico to the United States.

This GPS app is built to work on the cheapest cell phones available. It brings to mind every petty-but-illegal transgression the casual user could commit and stretches the boundaries of the permissibility of tech's uses for plausibly illegal means. The next time you use P2P or bit torrent clients to download media or use an iPhone app to detect police radars, think about this mobile application and how it reflects on American law and the Internet.

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:56:12 -0700 Know When to Avoid the Restaurant Special http://nicolasharnois.posterous.com/know-when-to-avoid-the-restaurant-special http://nicolasharnois.posterous.com/know-when-to-avoid-the-restaurant-special

So you're seated at the restaurant of your choosing when the waiter approaches and asks if you'd like to hear the daily specials. Here's what you should know before plunking down for that filet mignon or other chef's special.

Smart Money offers some cautionary advice for those prone to ordering items off the daily specials menu. Specifically, some restaurants reconfigure the day's surplus food into the next day's specials, so knowing how to distinguish a good special from a bad one can make the difference between an appetizing meal and one less worthy of its "special" title.

Do cameras really make people look fatter, and if so, how? Does it only apply to TV, or still cameras too? We were recently asked this question and decided to do some investigation into the old saying.
