Baseball food vendor caught taking snow cones in the bathroom stall.
A snow cone vendor selling at a Houston Astros game brought the snow cones with him into the bathroom stall, and an Astros fan took a video.
Story and video: http://deadspin.com/an-astros-vendor-pooped-next-to-his-snow-cones-509479058
So I wrote a song about it:
"Take Food Out of the Bathroom"
(Sung to the tune of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game.")
Take food out of the bathroom.
Take it out of the stall.
Don't put your crack over Cracker Jack,
I won't eat the snow cones it's hygiene they lack.
Never poop, poop, poop near the hot dogs.
The stall just hasn't got room.
For it's one, two or whatever you do
In the old bathroom.

Mind = blown.
Google knows what's in your pictures. I'll prove it.
Choose "Photos" from the left navigation bar. Type in any search term. Google+ will show all the pictures you've ever uploaded describable by that term.
I searched for "car," "cat," "dog," "jewelry" and many others, and in every case, Google+ showed me all the pictures of those items -- including private pictures I have never shared.
This is amazing. Try it!
UPDATE #1: Searching your personal, even private photos now works from Google Search!
Google just announced the extension of personal photo search to Google Search. Just use the words "My photos" as in "My photos of cats."

I'm afraid to search for awesome new communities...
... because I know I'll find them, and these are the ones I've already joined.
Too. Many. Awesome. Communities!

Jennifer Lopez to open cell phone stores for Latinos.
Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez announced plans to open a chain of cell phone stores for Latinos called Viva Movil.
The stores will sell Verizon phones and service in New York, L.A. and Miami.
The staff will speak Spanish (as well as English) and provide Latinos with a "culturally relevant shopping experience." “Latinos ... need to be catered to," she said in an interview.
Should each race or ethnicity have its own separate cell phone stores?

The Phone that could turn me into an Android fanboy.
A rumor is now circulating that a "Google Edition" of the HTC One could be announced in a few weeks.
Google announced at Google I/O that the Samsung Galaxy S4 would soon ship with a Google install (like the Nexus 4) instead of the shitty Samsung-generated UI.
Now, a rumor is circulating that the HTC One would also ship as a "Google Edition" phone.
This would be an Android phone I could not resist. If this rumor is true, I will likely throw my iPhone in the trash and buy this phone as soon as I can.
