MacBook makes a run for the border, gets shotIt’s understandable to pay attention to your own safety when traveling abroad, but who knew that you had to worry about your laptop? Here’s the story. A young American woman was traveling to Jerusalem when gung-ho border security officers ask her a bunch of questions. They must not have liked the answers, so they went all pew pew pew and shot up her MacBook.

After that she was allowed entry into the country with her bullet-riddled MacBook. The woman has been promised compensation. What do you think? Was he just a PC guy?

Sharp AQUOS SHOT 933SHSharp is offering another handset for SoftBank Mobile. This one is unsure if it’s a phone or a camera. The AQUOS SHOT 933SH. The most interesting aspect of it is the 10-megapixel low-noise CCD sensor that was specially designed to make it as simple to use as a standard digital camera, thanks to its rotating touchscreen display.

Just flip it around and you’re ready to start capturing your subject. Turn the camera function off and you have a 3.3″ WVGA display alongside global roaming capability. Nothing on price, but it launches in May.

Alcohol Shot Gun

Alcohol Shot GunThis Alcohol shot gun is light on design, but heavy on shooting alcohol into the mouths of others, or yourself. Great way to re-enact your favorite movies as you soak others with expensive alcohol.

Forget the fact that it doesn’t look threatening. Forget the fact that it resembles one of those cookie press guns. Just make someone drink up with extreme prejudice. Nothing on price or availability, but once the folks at UrbanTrend put their booze guns down and sober up, maybe they’ll let us know.
