Someone placed an ad on Craig's List saying that he was selling an Xbox 360 for $100. The guy says he's sick of his ratbag son and needs to teach him a lesson. So he's going to sell the console, controllers and headset but keep the box to fill with charcoal. The full article's available at Kotaku.

12-in-1 SIMThis All in One SIM Card enables you to put all your mobile numbers on one sim card. Eliminating the need for those unreliable dual sim card holders and meaning you'll never have to remove your battery again. It lets you have 12 providers and phone numbers on one card, and also lets you change number without turning the phone off.

Total cost is $42 for the reader/writer and $27 for a blank sim card, which is about £40. tI have no idea how this works, but they're available from http://mobile.brando.com.hk/

Dynasig is a dynamic PHP script which lets you set a mood using the control panel, and adds a picture for it, aswell as a random quote to an image which you can use as a sig on forums. Version 1 is just a preview really, and I'm hoping to add support for winamp, mirc and loads more features in the future. You can make sigs like the one below with version 1.0.

Brothers fined for keeping ghost



Posted in Uncategorized

A village council in eastern India has fined two brothers for keeping a pet ghost. Iswar and Haripada Murmu, of Akshaypur in West Bengal, were accused of owning a ghost after one of their wives died.

An exorcist summoned by villagers claimed the brothers' pet ghost was "responsible for a recent outbreak of disease in the locality". Village elders said they were bringing evil to the village and fined them the equivalent of £360, reports the Deccan Chronicle.

The paper reports that the brothers had to mortgage their agricultural land to raise the money. They now risk losing everything unless they can pay the money back within two months. District magistrate Mukul Sarkar said: "I will immediately inquire into the matter and if there is any truth to it, the district administration will take the necessary action."

I thought people stopped believing in witches and burning people at the stake in the 1500s. How can people still believe this in the 21st century?

Krypt Kiddies



Posted in Uncategorized

Way cooler than Cabbage Patch dolls, Krypt Kiddies are sure to give your kids something to fear. Either that, or make them so desensitized to evil dolls that they'll have no problems watching The Exorcist.

Gigabyte Quad SLI Mobo supports up to 10 displays



Posted in Latest news and Technology

Gigabyte have released a motherboard with four 16x PCI-Express slots, as well as two PCIe 1x slots. This means that by plugging in another graphics card to one of the slower slots, it's possible to connect 10 displays, giving you a desktop resolution of 6400×2048. I'm not sure whether you'd be able to play HL2 on one of these, but it would rock if you could. They managed to get it working with only a 480W PSU.
