In This Horror Movie, the Call Comes From Inside the Theater - lastcall - Gizmodo
Source: gizmodo.com
What's more terrifying than a call coming from inside the house? The call coming from inside the theater. That's the thought behind Last Call, an interactive horror film in which the main character calls a random audience member for help.
    How cool would this be?

Twice-Monthly Half Mortgage Payments Might Save You Money - Saving Money - Lifehacker
Source: lifehacker.com
Some financial planners advise making two half payments on your mortgage each month instead of one full sum. The idea is that homeowners will save thousands of dollars over the years in interest payments. Does this idea hold water?
    Actually not a bad idea...

If it were truly bigger on the inside than on the outside, this would probably be the most popular piece of home furniture in the world.
    Hmm, given my new fascination with all things Doctor Who, this would be kinda cool to own.

NEW YORK — Guns. Religion. Abortion. These are the no-win arguments that spoil family gatherings — and the stuff of retailers' nightmares.
    Dear God people? Seriously? As long as the local laws are being followed, "Who Cares?" is what Starbucks is saying. Why are all the anti-gun crowd all up in arms about this? I bet the first time they get robbed, mugged, attacked or whatever they will change their tune quite quickly. Remember, when seconds count the police are only minutes away!

State Rep. Rob Teilhet is introducing a measure Tuesday that would allow the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to send sex offenders' information to Facebook, MySpace and other sites.
    Not saying this isnt a good idea, but come on.. ever heard of Gmail, Yahoo Mail or Hotmail? Whats stopping them from opening a completely fake account and logging on through those?

Everywhere you look, food is trying to impress you with how natural it is, but the message is vague and often misleading. What does "organic" actually mean? What separates "grass-fed" from "free range"? We're separating real, meaningful labels from eco-hype.

Judiciary panel advances gun bill; colleges still wary | ajc.com
Source: www.ajc.com
Under a revised version of a controversial Senate gun bill, the University System of Georgia would be allowed to determine whether guns would be allowed on its campuses.
    I love this quote: '“Crime is rampant and we just don’t need to give guns to everybody. This is not a war zone,” James said. “This will just open up a can of worms. People will die needlessly.”' The same was said when Kennesaw, GA passed a law requiring homeowners to own a firearm. So far, they have some of the lowest crime rates ANYWHERE. Can we say "flawed logic" people? Maybe we can ask GA Tech students how they feel about this?
