It’s the day after the night where dressing as a hot mess is acceptable on a Monday, also known as Halloween. In some parts of the world, people may have dressed as cold messes.
But you know what’s been a literal hot mess? The Galaxy Note 7 and its exploding battery. You know, the recalled, non-existent phone in November 2016. And while the legal sagas reigning over injuries caused by fires may stretch through next year, it seems that Samsung is able to put the issue away and move onto other business.
What better time to poke at the company.
A Southwest Airlines employee was spotted at Salt Lake City International Airport yesterday wearing her Halloween spirit in the form of a burning Galaxy Note 7. She was captured by @heathwblack on Twitter.
Let us remind you that one of the more prominent Note 7 burn-outs came aboard one of Southwest’s planes in Louisville, Kentucky, before its flight out to Baltimore. That unit’s owner had exchanged a Note 7 under the initial recall. Worse yet, the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s investigation into this incident eventually informed its decision to expand the recall to replacement Note 7 units and resulted in the Federal Aviation Administration’s ban of the phone on all aircraft in US airspace and on the ground past airport security.
And here we see this girl. Shots. Fired. From a hot glue gun. On fire.

If you’ve ever been to an Apple Store, you might have been greeted by an employee wearing a blue T-shirt with an Apple logo stuck on the top right. That’s a frighteningly simple uniform to replicate. And someone allegedly did so to get to the back of the SoHo Apple Store in New York.On June 1, a man suspected to have been wearing something like the uniform took 19 iPhones from the repairs room and handed them over to a regularly-dressed co-conspirator who nested them inside his shirt. ...

The same lawmaker that had the state of Utah recognize that pornography is a public health crisis is back at it. This time, Senator Todd Weiler is working on three bills that would force Utahns to opt-in to access X-rated materials online.

Steve Notman is in plenty of trouble.First off, the repeat offender was caught on video allegedly selling meth in the city of Alliance, Ohio. Second, his phone has continued buzzing up with texts from customers. Third, he has poor taste in ringtones.All this we’re learning from the Alliance Police Department as it has put out a public plea on Facebook for people to stop ringing up Steve for your gram. Investigators are looking through the phone to see if they can arrest you.This story may have been a little more serious if we found out that it was all

I’ll be honest, the song tries too hard to imitate K-pop by using tropes that would better fit different voices. I mean, give me either EXID or Perfume any given day, but don’t fault the six-member act lyrical school for trying.Especially don’t hate on the A Million Miles video production: it’s a fantastic concept that doesn’t necessarily “hack” or ...

Without Alexander Graham Bell, you would not be sitting at your computer or with your phone reading Pocketnow.com.It was 140 years ago yesterday that the Scottish luminary made the very first phone call from an office in downtown Boston, telling his assistant Thomas Watson:Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.But from the start, it took a community of wits, craft and a willing investor to pull it all together and make sounds like the one below possible.After moving to Canada for fear of the tuberculosis that killed his two brothers, Bell found a calling from his father, who taught ...

This makes so much sense. Also, I’ll admit that I’m biased.If you’re not familiar with the iOS and Android game Monument Valley, go take a few spins on that and come back to this story when you’re done.

Are we getting a little too comfortable with pornography these days? After all, we do have access to it with a few taps on glass. Furthermore, the instant socialization and crowdfunding of user-generated pornography has made nude selfie trading normal. But in terms of putting a number to all this triple-X, how much is there?One porn industry analyst estimates that there could be between one and five million porn sites on the web.A Juniper Research report from a few months ago says that by year’s end, more than 136 billion videos will have crossed eyeballs in 2015. It forecasts 193 ...
