A study of 6,500 traveling executives says 35 percent of them would choose their PDA over their spouse. The study further revealed that 87 percent bring their devices into the bedroom. "It can actually ruin relationships. People are so focused on their PDAs, they're not focusing on what might be going wrong in their relationships," said Dr. Susan Bartell, a psychologist and relationship expert. I agree. The best thing to do if you're having relationship issues is to text each other openly and honestly.

This guy thought a card with an old picture of him would make a great birthday gift for his dad. What he hadn't counted on was the general level of mischief and meanness that comes with soliciting help in an online forum. The set of pics with the white dots "corrected" kills me.

British airline XL went out of business so abruptly that it left hundreds stranded, including over 260 who were on a runway. "(Airport officials) told us we should go and sleep on the street with our children because we are not their responsibility. I've come here on a packaged holiday and I've paid to go home," an angry passenger said. Eventually some flights were chartered to help the stranded passengers, one of which was flown by Iron Maiden frontman, Bruce Dickinson, because the story wasn't odd enough already. XL customers are lucky that the company didn't go out of business while their planes were in flight.

After 72-year-old, Andy Lees, was told he had terminal cancer he gave away his £12,000 savings and spent another £6,500 on his funeral. However, a year after his diagnosis, doctors discovered that he is suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a lung condition that causes a narrowing of the airways. Andy is very sick but he is not dying. Mr. Lees is now suing the local health authority for the misdiagnosis because he says the mistake has left him penniless. "I couldn't believe it. I gave away my life savings because I didn't think I would need them. We just presumed that the doctor would be right. Now I am broke," he said. On the positive side he won't have to walk five miles one-way to the gravel factory, seven days a week, for 16 hours straight with no break to get his money back.

Starting in November, Queen's University Belfast will offer a course that will use the psychology of the Star Wars Jedi Knights to teach students communication skills and personal development. The university's publicity material reads 'the course "Feel the Force: How to Train in the Jedi Way" teaches the "real-life psychological techniques behind Jedi mind tricks"' and promises to explore 'wider issues behind the Star Wars universe, like balance, destiny, dualism, fatherhood and fascism.' The course is very affordable but the droid fees are outrageous.

D Ninja writes "A company called Virsona recently released a beta version of their product that allows friends and relatives to talk to you after you have died. By submitting information to a journal and 'collecting a personal footprint' from social networking sites, Virsona attempts to figure out responses (based on your footprint) to someone who is 'communicating with you' via the service's instant message interface. The service is free (upgraded, paid services are available), but is still pretty hit or miss regarding the responses." All grandma says now is, "First!"

skeeto writes "The infamous Ubuntu Satanic Edition has been banned from Distrowatch by the site's maintainer, Ladislav Bodnar, who said, 'There is no way I am going to add this distro to DistroWatch. [...] I don't consider the name "Satanic edition" as an appropriate name for a Linux distribution.' But the main reason seems to be that 'Ubuntu is a registered trademark of Canonical. You need to show me an official permission from Canonical that grants you the use of the word Ubuntu in your product's name.' What about Muslim and Christian editions? It seems that worries about trademark infringement and offensive material does not stop Distrowatch from including those."
