New $50 Nook is basically a Kindle 7 — but no need to sideload the Play Store

This wasn't available as far as I knew when I was looking, but if it doesn't have problems when I look again, I will consider it.

Recycling smuggling ring netted $16.1 million, California officials say

If they want the metal and glass enough they should start an out-of-state program for these people.

I bet when Cheetahs race and one of them cheats, the other one goes "Man, you're such a Cheetah!" and they laugh & eat a zebra or whatever.

Cheap Photoshop alternative Paint.NET 50% off for a limited time

Last time I fired up a calculator it worked out that $4.99 was a fair bit less than 50% off $6.99, (ie. 29%) - even the page you link to shows it as $4.99 in the Store, don't know where they get the $2.99 from.

Hail Damage to Moon Roof

A recent hailstorm in Fort Collins, Colorado wreaked havoc as seen in this unbelievable photo of a baseball-sized hailstone crashing into the sunroof of a car. The shattered tempered glass was kept in place by the laminate and the sunroof now looks like a giant drip.

A lot of them don't do well (a) in the heat, or (b) in continued sunlight.  Be wary and look for long-term use reviews.

That too, there's very little of these things that will last through an Australian Summer, not even most dashcams if they have a battery in them.

@Arizona Hot: I dunno. "Heads-up driving" would seem to be a bit passé if not a contradiction in terms, in this day and age of txting-whilst-U-drive.  :tellme:
