'Trek'-themed Acer Aspire R7 boldly goes up for auction

Finally, a Windows 8 machine that'll feel at home on other planets. As part of a "Star Trek Into Darkness" tie-in, Acer launches a limited-edition "Trek"-themed version of its ambitious Aspire R7.

Kind of see what we mean?

On returning home from seeing "Star Trek Into Darkness" on Sunday, I couldn't help but wish my laptop had a more USS Enterprise-y feel. Thankfully, Acer has anticipated such consumer fancies, announcing Wednesday that it's partnered with Paramount to offer a limited-edition Trek-themed Aspire R7.
As is generally the case with such blockbuster-related gadgets, the tie-in here is entirely promotional. The touch-enabled laptop comes engraved with a stainless steel "Star Trek" logo, and includes a logo-festooned sleeve, a film poster signed by the film's cast, and "Star Trek" content such as wallpapers, a soundtrack, and a video game.
The ambitiously designed Aspire R7, however, does feature a flexible design that allows users to move and position the hinged 15.6-inch 1,920x1,080 touch screen as needed, including into a configuration that does sort of resemble the Enterprise.

Acer has already been tied up with "Star Trek Into Darkness," featuring a "explore beyond limits/seek new frontiers" marketing campaign for several of its products and offering a free Star Trek: The Video Game download for buyers of the Aspire R7.
Only 25 units of the "Trek"-themed Aspire R7 have launched, with only one available for purchase via auction on eBay. Bidding will start on June 12 and continue through June 24, with proceeds benefiting two charities: Save the Children and A Mission Continues, which aids military veterans.
The Windows 8 machine, a combination of laptop and all-in-one desktop, has a 1.8GHz Intel Core i5-3337U; a 500GB hard drive plus a 24GB SSD; an HD Webcam; and sells for a suggested retail price of $1,000. It'll be interesting if bidding goes stratospheric on the "Trek"-themed machine -- and if any Klingons try to get in on the action.

To all my ladies this post is for you Bizarre tech: Gifts and gadgets

Wearable LED lights.

For all you wanna be ourstanding in the crowd, this is the perfect gift that calls out " All eyes on me" THE WEARABLE EYELID LIGHT. Sorry that is EYELED LIGHT

Wearable LED lights

Fashion encompasses everything from fur to metal, but can LED lights really make a mark in the industry?
The LED Eyelash project aims to do just that. Whether a gimmick or not, Soomi Park's wearable LED eyelashes certainly make an entrance. 

Perhaps best suited to the neon-bedecked raver, Soomi calls the wearable tech a way to cater for female desires of having larger and more expressive eyes. Instead of relying on eyeshadow and mascara, the model above is connected up to a pair of fake eyelashes, explained as such:

FEATURES;

"It features a sensor to turn on and/or off. The sensor can perceive the movements of the pupil in the eyes and eyelids. If you wear it and move your head, LED Eyelash will flicker following your movements. It is as simple to use as wearing false eyelashes and as easy to remove as taking off a piece of jewelry."

Woman Arrested 396 Times, Ordered to Get Help

Woman Arrested 396 Times, Ordered to Get Help.
Who kept calling 911? 
what for? 
Gosh for 396 times!!!!! 
Somebody call the hospital. Now!!!!

Shermain Miles - a woman who has been arrested 396 times and used 83 aliases throughout her life - apologized inside a Cook County courtroom yesterday and accepted a plea deal that will send her to a mental health and substance abuse rehab program.

The 51-year old has been locked up since December for crimes she committed while on parole for an armed robbery conviction and listened quietly while a judge told her:

"All of us are reaching out to you and offering you, maybe for the first time in your life, a hand, Okay? But you've got to reach out and grab all of our hands as well."

Monday's sentencing of professional assistance for Miles stemmed from her latest arrests: one for an alleged assault and two for trespassing and drinking in public.

Miles has agreed to mental health evaluation and follow-up treatment, along with a program for alcohol abuse.

Overall, she has been booked 92 times for theft; 65 times for disorderly conduct; 59 times for prostitution-related crimes; and five times for robbery or attempted robbery.

JIM CAREY STRUGGLES CONTINUE AS DUMB AND DUMBER GET KICKED OFF

Jim Carrey's career could use a boost (Photo: Ray Tamarra/FilmMagic)

"Dumb and Dumber To" has been kicked to the curb, making for the latest blow to Jim Carrey's career.Warner Bros.' decision to pass on the "Dumb and Dumber" sequel comes hot on the heels of the box office failure of "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," a film that had a similar budget but grossed only $22 million domestically. Carrey received good reviews for his portrayal of a Criss Angel-like street magician but the film failed to connect with audiences.

Writer-directors Peter and Bobby Farrelly will have to look elsewhere in continuing the misadventures of Harry Dunne (Jeff Daniels) and Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey), as The Hollywood Reporter brings word that WB passed on giving the greenlight to "Dumb and Dumber To," the long in-development sequel to the 1994 hit comedy.

Warner Bros. apparently saw limited potential in the sequel (admittedly, it has been almost 20 years since the first film), even though the budget was pitched to be around $30 million. The writer-director sibling duo are shopping the project out to other studios, which finds Harry and Lloyd hitting the road in search of Harry's illegitimate daughter ... and completely ignores the much-reviled 2003 prequel, "Dumb & Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd."

Carrey, a box office powerhouse who could command $20 million per film back in the '90s and early '00s, has been having a rough time of it lately. His last starring vehicle was "Mr. Popper's Penguins," which was released two years ago this month and only earned $68 million domestic on abudget of $55 million. Despite the fact that he's always an engaging performer and also does well in edgier projects such as "I Love You Phillip Morris" (2008) and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004), Carrey just doesn't have the mainstream appeal that he used to.

The 51-year-old actor will next be seen in a supporting role as mobster turned vigilante Colonel Stars and Stripes in "Kick-Ass 2," opening August 16. He is also set to star alongside Owen Wilson in a yet-to-be-titled bank heist comedy.

Meanwhile, Carrey's "Dumb and Dumber" pal Jeff Daniels is gearing up for Season Two of "The Newsroom," which premieres on HBO on July 14.

(Photos) Food Seller Goes Gaga, Removes Clothes After Confessing To Using Mortuary Water To Cook Food

Another story from SLNB of evil deeds getting back at you.
She made the money, She stole the destinies of others by selling food in her restaurant which is cooked with water from mortuary. Where has it gotten her to now?

A woman who is the owner of a popular buka in Portharcourt confessed last Saturday to using diabolical means to entice customers, as well as take their “destinies.”

Beware of where you eat food from.

According to eye witnesses, the woman, who is from Akwa Ibom, suddenly ran mad while at her buka located at Aleto in Eleme Local Government area of Port-Harcourt, Rivers state.

They say she suddenly started acting bizarre, tore her clothes and started confessing how she employed diabolical means for the growth of her business.

In her confession, she said she mixes water used to bathe corpses with her food, as well as water from her private part and menstruation blood. She said she did all these to attract customers whose “destinies” she used for the growth of her business and riches.

She then ran around town unclad, confessing her atrocities, appearing to have lost her sanity.

The news of her confession spread around the area, and some of her customers (including Okada men)  and angry onlookers descended on her and gave her the beating of her life, before Police men intervened
and took her away.
