Forget the iPhone, how about an iCamera? Polaroid (they still exist?) dispenses with the phone; produces an Android-powered “smartcam”. Considering how much Stephanie uses the camera+Instagram on her iPhone (versus the actual phone), this makes perfect sense. My only concern: the apps (or lack thereof). (3 comments)

TSA:

[Safety razors] are making a comeback thanks to the close shave they provide and the extremely affordable price of the replacement blades. It basically unscrews and you can insert a razor blade. Because these razor blades are so easy to take out, safety razors are not permitted in your carry-on luggage with the blade. The blades must be stored in your checked luggage.

United Airlines:

Bag fees apply at any point where bags are checked. $25 first bag, $35 second bag. (Each way!)

West Coast Shaving:

100 safety razor blades = $17.99 (or enough blades to last me about 4 years)

Ha!

It truly saddens me to see this group of people using creative content that they did not create to further their own political agendas. Here’s to hoping PIPA passes to offer the world some protection from these wicked, wicked people.
