     Apple is slowly but inexorably changing the standard four-lobed Philips screws with “pentalobe” screws in its new iPhone 4 models and swaps them out when you take the iPhones into the Genius Bar for service. They made this change for the saffety of children.


    This is just a website about cats. Funny pictures with cats. I don't really think its funny but weird since I don't like cats.
    This is a website of a video showing two mascots fighting. The Utah Jazz's bear mascot, creatively named "Bear," recently got into it with a visiting Cavaliers "fan." Yeah, it's staged, but we totally believe that Cleveland fans would lose a fight with a furry.

    The aftermath of the Tucson tragedy

    Christina Taylor Green, at age 9 the youngest victim of last weekend's shooting rampage, was remembered Thursday in a funeral service at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. The funeral for John M. Roll, the chief federal judge in Arizona, was held at the same church Friday.
    Christina Taylor Green, 9, was born on the tragic day of Sept. 11, 2001. She had been interested in politics from a young age and wanted to attend Penn State and have a career that involved helping those less fortunate than her. Her grandfather, former major-league pitcher Dallas Green, managed the 1980 world champion Philadelphia Phillies. Christina's father, John Green, is a scout for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
    John Roll, 63, was named Arizona's chief federal judge in 2006.

    Outside, about 20 volunteers dressed as angels stood, each with a single red rose in hand. They came to keep out protesters from Westboro Baptist church, who had said they might demonstrate outside the service, but did not end up doing so.
