    New Chrome Plugin

    You might think this belongs in the Tech Shop, and it may very well should be. But I'm putting it here because of its comedic value. There is a new Chrome plugin that will play clown music every time you read about Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. It's absolutely hilarious that a military march...

    Believe Everything You Read on the Internet

    Audio New Radio for the Sprinter

    Ooooh! Preeeeetttty! Got tired of the piece o' crap factory radio. The right speaker went out for an hour, then it came back on for half an hour, then went out forever. Then, the Fader, Balance, Treble, Bass controls, instead of going up or down a number when you turn the knob, would either...
