Pugs Are the Real Threat to Mankind
Forget about apes. Pugs are the real threat to human domination. With the release of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes this weekend, it’s all too easy to get that wrong — so we turned to Pet Collective to set the record straight. In this YouTube video, one man learns the hard way that the cuteness of a pug is just a facade. When he finds an abandoned pug in a box in the middle of the wilderness, he takes it in just like anyone with a working heart would. He’s fooled by those irresistible wrinkles and aloof facial expressions. In no time, he finds himself in the midst of a war between pugs and humans. He’s taken “one of theirs” and the pugs go to great lengths to retrieve him. Get ready to wrinkle up your face, pug-style, as you watch this agonizing war play out.

Halloween has always been a good chance for parents and kids to bond. But this dad took it to another level — or shall we say, to another planet? Inspired by the movie Aliens, YouTube user Jason Smith built a Power Loader robot suit, so that he and his daughter could go around at Halloween wearing the same costume. He became the suit, while his daughter basically became Sigourney Weaver. The costume, constructed of cardboard boxes and hot glue, took two nights and a day for Smith to make, according to his video description. “My highest priority was keeping my little girl safe, so the costume was designed for mobility and quick exit in case of emergency,” writes Smith. Bonus points for being an imaginative and responsible dad. Watch the video above to see this amazing two person costume in action. have you ever seen anything like this?

First, She Put Soap In The Microwave…Then I Couldn’t Believe My Eyes
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DTAT_ATF’); }); Typically, the only thing you should put in the microwave is food. But if you put Ivory soap in the microwave for one to two minutes, something amazing happens. Because Ivory soap has pockets of air and water inside of it, a solid bar of soap turns into a fluffy soap soufflé right in front of your eyes when heated. Your kids are sure to be amazed by this fun science experiment. Plus, your kitchen will smell like it just took a shower. Watch the video below to find out why this crazy phenomenon happens. After the soap has been microwaved, it’s still totally useable. In fact, you might even conserve more soap by using less in the shower. Pretty cool, huh?!

10 Black Friday Disasters That Will Convince You to Stay Home
Black Friday Bedlam 1. Waffle Riot We’ve heard of Bread Riots, Pussy Riots and even Quiet Riots. But this, my friends, is a Waffle Riot. Anarchy reigns as this crowd of Walmart shoppers struggles to get their hands on some $2 waffle irons. 2. Towel Tussle Which do you think was worse: the struggle to get these cheap towels or their friends’ and family members’ disappointed looks with cheap towel gifts? 3. Fightin’ Words Historical trends dictate that people who wear leather jackets tend to be much tougher and more intimidating than the rest of us (maybe). Anyway, check out how this guy goes all ad baculum on a crowd of people outside a Best Buy, when they complain about him cutting the line. 4. Pepper Spray Spree Back to Walmart, where a woman in Los Angeles used pepper spray on a crowd of people, including children, to get her hands on a new Xbox. 5. Brawl at the Mall Can we get Jerry “The King” Lawler and Jim Ross to provide some commentary on this royal rumble? The quality of this video is extremely shoddy, but it contains some pretty shocking footage. 6. Dramatization Here’s what the last clip might have looked like if the videographer had a steadier hand. 7. Bloody Grandpa This grandpa is badly bloodied after police officers tackled him. The police believed the man to be a shoplifter. This raw smartphone footage gives an even better look at the incident, but be forewarned, it includes explicit language. 8. The Peanut Gallery You won’t find shocking violence in this video, but check out the crowd of people who aren’t even there to shop, just to film. 9. Urban Outfitters Urban regions are often over-populated, but at midnight on Black Friday, this Urban Outfitters crams in so many people it looks more like a New York tenement house during the 1860s. 10. In Conclusion Here’s a mashup from Jingle All the Way in which Arnold, the great thespian that he is, manages to perfectly capture the plight of the Black Friday shopper.

New York City Subway Needs a ‘System Restore’ [PIC] Yes, crashed Windows OS, we know the New York City subway system was unable to restart after Hurricane Sandy.

Watch What Happens When an iPhone 5 Is Glued to the Ground
Gadget geeks scrambled to Apple stores around the world Friday to get their hands on the iPhone 5. If you didn’t dedicate yourself to standing in line at 2 a.m. (or do the smart thing and order online), you might still luck out and find one just laying in the street. That’s what happened to people strolling through a busy square in Amsterdam, but it was a little too good to be true. A couple of Dutch pranksters glued the prized smartphone to the ground and recorded what happened. BONUS: iPhone 5: All the New Stuff iPhone 5: All the New Stuff Bigger Screen The most noticeable change in the new iPhone is its larger, 4-inch screen. The display actually isn’t any wider than the previous one, but instead extends length-wise to a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. Its resolution is 1,136 x 640 pixels — that’s not quite high-def, but it still has the same pixel density — what Apple calls a retina display. The taller screen allows for five rows of apps (plus the permanent row on the bottom), and Apple says its colors are better, too. LTE The iPhone 5 is the first iPhone with LTE connectivity, and it’s going to work on the networks of AT&T, Verizon and Sprint, as well as many others across the globe. To accommodate so many different LTE bands, Apple had to split the iPhone 5 into three different models, only one of which works on CDMA networks. That’s a departure from the “world phone” approach of the iPhone 4S, but at least Apple was able to integrate both the LTE and voice radios into the same chip, saving space in the device. Lightning Connector The 30-pin dock connector, which has been on Apple portable devices since 2003, is now obsolete, replaced with the much smaller Lightning connector, the name being a play on the Thunderbolt connector on Apple’s Macs. Apple says it’s 80% smaller than the old dock connector, and had the extra advantage of being reversible (no more “getting it wrong” the first time you try to insert it). Of course, the new jack means many old accessories won’t work with the iPhone 5 — unless you buy Apple’s $29 adapter, that is. Even if you do, the adapters don’t support exporting video, so you’re stuck with AirPlay for that. Thinner Design All this beautiful new technology means Apple was able to shave off a couple of millimeters of thickness. Thanks in part to the new connector, the combined-radio chip and integrating touch electrodes right into the pixels, the iPhone 5 is just 0.3 of an inch thick. It’s also lighter, weighing just under 4 ounces. A6 Chip The iPhone 5 sports a new processor, the ARM-based Apple A6. Apple claims that it’s twice as fast as the A5 chip in the iPhone 4S, and has twice the graphics performance. Like its predecessors, it’s optimized for iOS to save power. The phone is rated to last up to eight hours […]
