Well, it only took hackers two months to unlock the iPhone's hidden ability to use other networks besides AT&T. The first such case appeared about a week ago, and it was the work of a 17 year old kid who goes by the alias "geohot." You can watch his video here, and be sure to watch until the very end because you'll be treated to the creepiest look you'll get today.

This video, on the other hand, is much newer and provides a seemingly much simpler strategy for unlocking the iPhone. "Uniquephones" makes it look like pretty much anyone can do it, although beware that the video might be a bit boring for the non-technically minded; it's literally just a guy holding his camera while he pushes buttons on stuff. (If you want something more entertaining, check out this cute little spoof.)

Personally, I don't really see what the big deal is. I have yet to hear any convincing evidence that one cell phone company is better than any other, and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before you can get an iPhone on any network anyway. But what do I know?

Overearnest celebrity PSAs are certainly not new or rare things. You can't get through a commercial break these days without some marginally famous person telling you the planet is dying, or reading is FUNdamental, or hey, it's okay to be gay. All of them seem sincere, and most of them are probably worthwhile. But few are as deeply moving as this one. And it's from Jim Carrey, of all people.

Sure, it may take a second for the more cynical among us to get past Carrey's Jesus hair and his intense, "NO SERIOUSLY, GUYS, I'M BEING SERIOUS" face. But give the funnyman his due: when he's talking about Burma, about the abuses its military regime has heaped on the people, and the brutal and tragic imprisonment of Nobel Peace Prize Recipient Aung San Suu Kyi, his message is anything but amusing.

Even the most aware of us can sometimes forget just how much is going on outside of our little corner of the world. Hopefully, Aung San Suu Kyi will not have to be imprisoned for another eleven years before the world starts paying attention to her and the Burmese people.

Ted Nugent, at the end of this fiercely NSFW rant regarding Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and California senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, you ask if we have any questions. And the answer is yes, I do have some. When you say that you want those people to "suck on your machine guns," you're referring to your genitalia, right? Because I'm not exactly sure. Also, what is it specifically about Barack Obama that attracts you to him? The eyes? The smile? That confident manner? Or just his keen fashion sense?

I know you're busy sharing your wit and wisdom with America, but if you could get back to me on this, I'd really appreciate it. I'll be here. Waiting.

We’ve all heard of people surprising their sweethearts with marriage proposals on the JumboTron at sporting events, and while that does require a degree of effort and planning, I think George, the gentleman who made this video, has taken the public, sneak-attack proposal to a new level. The event seen here (a gallery opening) is of a much smaller scale than a professional sporting event, but keep in mind that the entire gathering was concocted by George, from the ground up, as an “elaborate ruse” to trick his girlfriend Sara into viewing his proposal. Sara was told that the opening was for artist “Serge Gandora” exhibiting a new work called “My Early Muir Owl.” Little did she know that the piece had been created and installed by George himself. Viewed from most angles, “My Early Muir Owl” appears to be nothing but a series of random geometric shapes mounted on poles. But when viewed from just the right angle the shapes align to pop the question “Will You Marry Me?”

The cleverest of children will note that “Serge Gandora” is actually and anagram for “Sara and George” and “My Early Muir Owl” an anagram for “Will You Marry Me.” It looks like this devious little scheme went well. I have to give mad props to anyone who can grift their beloved, House of Games-style, into a lifetime commitment. It gives new meaning to the term “long con.”
