Girl asks cops to search laptop, suspects boyfriend of downloading kiddie porn. Cops find video of her and her dog, “Toby”… you can’t make this stuff up. (via Reddit)
Porn Sting Goes To The Dogs
Michelle Owen. Concerned that an ex-boyfriend had used her laptop to search for child pornography, the Indiana woman asked police to search the computer for illegal images, but had her plan backfire when cops discovered two videos of her engaged in illicit acts with a dog. Owen, 24, was charged last week with two felony bestiality counts in connection with the video files, which a detective found in the laptop’s “recycle bin.” At the time Owen asked cops to search the computer, she was locked up in the Johnson County Jail on a public intoxication charge (which violated the terms of her release in a prior drunk driving case). According to a police affidavit, a copy of which you’ll find here, a cop told Owen that he had found videos of her on the laptop and asked if she “knew what those files might be.” Owen, pictured in the below mug shot, replied, “The one with the dog.” Cops believe that the dog in question, Toby, is a beagle. After asking if she was “going to be charged with this,” Owen said that the videos “were just something she did when she was drunk and barely remembers it,” adding that she tried to “delete them the next day when she was sober.” (Source: The Smoking Gun)
Sometimes I get really annoyed when I make these support calls. There’s always a lag time of like 0.3 milliseconds and I could finish a biscuit in that amount of time. But what really pisses me off is the accent. The accent that make technical support a lot more technical than it supposed to be. Whatever happen to your friendly support people? They’re probably in a bloody call center in India. Anyway, here are some video clips of people’s experience with call centers that might just make you go what-the-ahem.
call center salesman goes insane (REAL RECORDING)
I can believable, like a little girl. As long as this doesn’t happen to me, he’s the funniest call center salesman. The salesman is in Panama.
Here’s one from Microsoft support center. I don’t know what he’s talking about.
Funny Microsoft support center call
The Microsoft support personnel is probably from India. Here’s a video of what call centers do in India.
Indian Call Centre
Well, if you have a computer problem, consider this – unplug it and plug it right back. Sometimes, you don’t really benefit from calling call centers. If you’re a novice computer user, you probably can’t convey your computer problem in the right terms and the support fellow from India tries to tell you to check if your power button is on. He probably is laughing with his colleagues after he puts down your phone call. Should you be an expert computer user, calling support lines is like teaching the call center support personnel something new.
So you know what – forget it. If you have a problem, go to your expert computer friend. Buy him or her lunch of something and ask them for help. No strange accent. No lag.

Kids today are so empowered, they can be a guitarist, a drummer or a footballer. Well, in the arcade, but…
Now they can be a firefighter too:
(Fight fire at the arcade.)
Oh, this is so awesome, I wanted to be a firefighter when I was 5. (Then again at 5, I wanted to be a doctor, a lawyer, a policeman, a construction worker, a fish and a teacher too.)
According to a report, Intel decided to postpone launch of 45nm quadcore CPUs due to lack of competition from AMD. AMD’s upcoming Phenom is not really that phenomenal.
ACCORDING TO A REPORT, Intel has decided to postpone the launch of its 45nm quad-core CPUs because AMD is in such a mess.
Digitimes said it learned from motherboard makers that the chippery was scheduled to launch in January next year. But now the mobo mob have coughed that the launch will be put back a month or two.
Apparently, Intel will flog its 65nm quad-core processors for a while longer since AMD’s triple-core and upcoming Phenom CPUs aren’t ready.
The chips we’re talking about here are the Core 2 Quad Q9300, Q9450 and Q9550, Digitimes said.
I guess Intel can rest for another 3 months. Not a good news for technology lovers though. I have at least 2 friends waiting quite impatiently for Intel Core 2 Quads.
I always welcome faster speeds and better power efficiency, USB 3.0 promises 4.8 Gbps. I probably won’t need that kind of speed, but it still kinda excites me anyhow.
USB 3.0 – 10 Times Faster – In the Works for 2009
Well, USB fans, things are going to get even more interesting and soon. USB 2.0 may be fast enough right now, but with more high-definition video products arriving and bigger and bigger files being transferred, that won’t be the case forever. Enter USB 3.0, which moves the bandwidth needle from 480Mbps to roughly 4.8Gbps, 10 times faster than the current version.
The new standard, which was recently demonstrated using a new optical cable (but the same connector), will be backward compatible with older USB formats and promises better power efficiency, too, in order to decrease the load on portable devices. Possibly in the works: Better ability to charge devices over USB, some of which still require an A/C adapter or two USB connections to draw enough juice.
Specs are planned to be delivered early next year with commercial availability for 2009.
