(UPDATE) on the original post HERE.

Ok, so apparently a few of you liked my first post... Well, put on your seat belts, folks. This is starting to get interresting. 

After we've come to the point where there was ANOTHER lost iPhone, We've talked about the guy who allegedly found it having his house searched by police, and we've spoken on the fact that he allowed it. Since I'm probably not the only person who will find this interresting, the SFPD have now admitted that they have assisted Apple with the search of this poor guy's home, and claim that a police report was not created because APPlE REQUESTED that there not be one. Now, I know that I made the statement that the police assisting with a search doesn't mean that they did something illegal, but in this case, I may have to appologize. Read more after the jump.

Another iPhone prototype lost in a bar... This is starting to look intentional. There are only a few things that can be happening. 

• Option A: Apple has been abusing their employees for so long that their Beta team has found religion in the bottom of an empty bottle.
• Option B: Apple is experimenting to see if lightning really does hit twice in the marketing world. After all, which would you prefer? Paying for ad placement to get people to follow the story, or giving people like me something to write about. (Guilty of falling for this one, I guess. Sorry.)

Now, again we have an iPhone going missing in good ole San Francisco, this one in the Mission district. For those of you feeling a little Deja Vu, don't. This time is soooo much better. It all started when there was a "priceless" phone, lost in the bar frequented by yet another  Apple employee. Of course, following this to the next step, Apple scrambles their security team, again searching for a needle in a haystack, lest another of their precious devices fall into the hands of Gizmodo, and be dismembered for the public's enjoyment. This time, however, Apple is refusing to comment on the event, or any upcoming model of the iPhone (though several unconfirmed reports list the release date in late September, or early October).

So... The Electric Car Revolution has yet to appear... Here's why.

Well, While we're not quite there yet (Though I would love to drive to work for $0.05 per day), the technology isn't considered to be viable yet. The few cars that have an all electric option are expensive; You'll pay more for the base model electric than you will for the tricked-out, all inclusive combustion-engine (Later called CE, because I'm lazy. Sorry.) twin. These new electrics don't have a range enough to satisfy most people, parking lots don't commonly offer outlets to plug into, and people haven't had time to adjust to the idea of a car that you can't carry an extra gas can in, or fill up again if you spend a little longer on the road than planned.

If you want the HP TouchPad...

We'll start this off on a positive note, and probably end in a few warnings. Recently, the HP TouchPad has been all the rage in the tablet PC rumor mill. It was reported to have outstanding specs, a very pleasing display, and a unique Operating System (WebOS). With these amazing things in mind...

YOU CAN NOW BUY ONE FOR EXTREMELY CHEAP:
