I want a gPhone …

Supposedly, the “GPhone” will be manufactured by Samsung with Google branding (much like Helio’s phones). It’s said to come loaded with all of Google’s services, such as Gmail, Google Maps, Blogger, et cetera. In addition, it will supposedly have a QWERTY keyboard, a 2-megapixel camera, WiFi, and 3G web connectivity.

What’s especially exciting about the potential of a Google phone is that reports state that the big G will shy away from forcing users to choose one wireless carrier, instead allowing for people to buy the phone and then use it with the carrier of their choice.

I bow to the All Powerful Google.

Savage Chickens!

I’m in the mood either to watch Snakes on a Plane or Chicken Run.

The Christmas Elf Radar-Cop is back! (And this time, he’s a Leprechaun!)

There was no pot of gold behind the dancing roadside leprechaun, only speeding tickets. Dozens of drivers in the Orlando area found out the hard way Thursday after passing an Orange County sheriff’s deputy dressed as a leprechaun and warning drivers to slow down.

A laser detector clocked cars above his sign reading “Watch your speed or it will cost you your pot of gold,” and several officers on motorcycles chased those who didn’t heed the advice.

Deputy Richard Lockman said police were giving out about one ticket every minute since 8 a.m., the Orlando Sentinel reported for Friday editions. He was dressed in a green leprechaun outfit with a hat, tight white knickers and a fake red beard.

“We do this sort of thing a lot on holidays,” sheriff’s spokesman Jim Solomons said.

Lockman did the same thing with a Christmas elf outfit in December. Speeders complained that being stopped by a deputy in costume was entrapment.

“I think that’s just ridiculous,” Lockman said. “The elf didn’t force anybody to speed.”

Speeders are complaining because they got caught speeding. Poor losers.
