“Darth Vader’s personal Lego spaceship flies Sept. 1”
Ah, if only I were still a kid, with the unending free time that kids have. Of course, I’d have to be a rich kid. 😉

“An Apostrophe Is the Difference Between…”
“…a business that knows its shit and a business that knows it’s shit.” Earthy goodness on the subject of English punctuation (a sore point with me).
“How to Enjoy the New Web Speed Boost from Google DNS and OpenDNS”
I’m almost sorry that I so rarely watch YouTube videos. If I did, I’d probably be thrilled by how much faster they are now. Oh well, I’ll probably see similar speedups in general use such as downloading large files, though I likely won’t notice them.
“Particles found to break speed of light”
I’ve previously seen some scientists suggesting that Einstein was wrong about the speed of light in a vacuum being a universal limit. This seems to prove it, at least for particles without mass.

“Nigerians panic over killer calls”
You know, I can understand this. If you don’t know how technology works, you’re as likely to believe impossible things as possible ones. What I can’t believe is how many people here fall for things just as ludicrous.

“Blue Screen of Death gets makeover for Windows 8”
I can’t really add to this article, except to say that I doubt the new Blue Screen of Death will help much in some applications.
“BT Tower becomes Star Wars lightsaber”
You’ve gotta be kidding me. (It does look remarkably good though.)
“UK man exterminates record for most Daleks”
Parent, be warned. This is what happens when you refuse your child something he wants: […] As of this writing, he possesses 571 of the evil alien overlords after 20 years of collecting. In a real head-scratcher, Hull isn’t a fan of the TV series that gave birth to his beloved Daleks, “Doctor Who.” According …
