Hasta La Gadget!

Depending on the programming and the data used behind the apps, weather iPhone apps can be a gamble. I’ve had a couple of them installed and it was always funny to see them give out different forecasts for the next couple of days at the same time. This particular weather app looks pretty amazing.

WTHR was designed by David Elgena, and the app itself is based upon Dieter Rams’ 10 Principles of Design. The UI is very clean and minimal, allowing you to easily figure out what the weather will be like without looking at endless graphics.

The WTHR app sells for $0.99(USD) in the iTunes App Store, but we’ve read that in its current incarnation, the app constantly uses the GPS of the iPhone, even after closing the app. Hopefully this will be fixed in a later update, since it is such a beautiful looking app.

I know it’s a primitive dice game, but I’ve always loved Yahtzee. I think it’s because it’s basically like playing poker, but with dice. And what better thing to combine with my compulsive gambling habit but a drunk-ass, foul-mouthed, beer-swilling bending robot?

That’s exactly what you’ll get if you pick up the Futurama edition of Yahtzee, which replaces the boring old red dice cup with Bender’s pointy head. In addition, the dice have had their standard black dots (also known as “dice pips”) surgically removed and replaced with the heads (or at least the eyeballs) of your favorite characters – Fry, Leela, Amy, Professor Farnsworth, and Dr. Zoidberg – in addition to Bender as the high-scoring lucky number six.

So accidentally freeze yourself for 1000 years, and thaw out over at ThinkGeek to buy the Futurama Yahtzee set for just $20(USD).

MIAMI — A Department of Children and Families investigator attempting to flee the country has been arrested on 5 counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, one who he was assigned to protect from such abuse.

The underage victim is one of the teenage girls involved in last week’s foster care prostitution bust.

According to the search warrant, DCF put the Miami teen under investigator Jean LaCroix’s protection for a month but cell phone records show that they had been engaged in a relationship for much longer.
