Breakfast Links: ThirstyLight, Exploding Bladders & iPhones
My thumbs are decidely not green. While they had a pretty greenesque hue some months ago, they’ve been sliding gently back towards brown in recent days. Turns out that plants like to be watered regularly (they also like to not be chewed on by cats, different story). Now there’s some new device that looks a little like a cooking thermometer that you stick into the pot and it blinks when it’s time to water it! This combines the best of high tech (blinky blinky lights) and gardening, it’s got Drypoint™ technology!
On the flip side of this equation, I bring you the British. Yes, these booze loving Britons don’t know when to stop and their bladders are exploding as a result. Wasn’t there a Simpsons ep about this? Maybe it was kidneys… Anyhoo, they drink and drink and forget to pee and poof. “No, ma’am, it isn’t appendicitis.”
And in Germany the courts have placed a temporary injunction on selling iPhones because it should be available without a calling plan (i.e. purchased without a contract). Wow, that’s hardcore. Vodafone took it to court out of fear that other handset makers would try that same business of locking in to one vendor. Sounds a little sour grapesy to me, but still the German consumers could ultimately win out if this holds up to the appeals. More choice == more better.

Where are the Brits binge drinking where they can’t use a bathroom. Wait a minute, you don’t even need a bathroom. When you drunk, anything can be a bathroom! Silly Brits.
