(Video written and produced by Ted Balaker) President Obama sure likes that Twitter. Over Father’s Day he became the first sitting president to issue his own tweet and this week he fielded questions during the first-ever White House Twitter town hall. In 2009, he hosted the first YouTube town hall, and Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign was Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Big Government Discovery Date : 08/07/2011 15:05 Number of articles : 5

Considering America’s enormous debt ($14,400,378,763,707 as of 1:35 p.m. Eastern), an immigration debate that’s doing anything but simmering, a debt ceiling that’s about to be obliterated and numerous wars, one would assume that Lady Gaga would be the last point of discussion for presidential contenders (okay, maybe that’s a little harsh — politicians are people too, right’). Yet, today, in Iowa,… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Blaze Discovery Date : 07/07/2011 20:18 Number of articles : 3

Everyone wants their wedding to be special, but some people go so far out of their way to have a unique ceremony that they miss the mark completely. Sometimes quite literally. This video of a zipline wedding gag gone wrong has been making the rounds on YouTube and we can totally see why. Of course there’s the inevitable crash (and who doesn’t love seeing that?) but we suspect the real FAIL comes much earlier — like when the happy couple decided this was actually a good idea. We have to admit, though, that the groom walks it off like a champ. Here’s hoping their marriage hasn’t been this rocky since! WATCH: Via Buzzfeed

July 9, 2011 No Comment
From what we’ve gathered in the video just below the break, the graphical capabilities aren’t terribly impressive on Crescent’s Immersive Digital Entertainment VR system, but really — who cares? It’s a motion gaming solution… that you wear. On your head . When placed in the proper scenario, it gives gamers a full 360 degree space to interact in, with an array of HD motion capture cameras making the virtual reality that much less virtual (and in turn, that much more reality ). Hard to say if this thing will ever have a life in the commercial realm, but yeah, we’d buy one.

Remember that PDF exploit from last year that JailbreakMe 2.0 was using to unlock your iPhone with just a few taps? Well, Apple patched it . And now it’s apparently back . According to the Wall Street Journal , Apple acknowledged the exploit, and is working on an update at this very moment. In addition to the JailbreakMe 3.0 hack that came to light last week, the hole can also be used for some not-so-noble efforts, like grabbing your contacts database, accessing saved passwords, or activating your iPad or iPhone’s built-in camera. And nobody wants that. For one reason or another, German authorities have taken the lead on encouraging Apple to investigate, and have also warned all users to avoid opening PDF docs from untrusted sources. And we’re happy to echo that rather solid advice, given the implications. Ironically, JailbreakMe includes a patch for the very hole that allows it to function in the first place, so if you’re terrified that rogue PDFs will take over your devices, that’s an option to consider in the meantime. Apple iOS 4.3.4 software update may fix iPhone hole, block PDF jailbreak originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 07 Jul 2011 17:01:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink
