SmartCap: The life it saves can be a driver
I once heard that one of the leading killers on the road is not drunk driving, but falling asleep at the wheel. I remember that I did that once, and I accidentally swerved off the road.

The Kindle, 1984, and the kid that sued
For those of you who don't know, 1984 by George Orwell was removed from Amazon Kindle's everywhere a few months ago, without any explanation. Yes, the company did apologize and go through all the motions necessary for a recall. I'm still laughing at the irony.
