See-thru yoga pant makers: do the downward dog!
Trendy yoga brand Lululemon was forced to recall nearly $20 million worth of the company’s black Luon yoga pants last week because they are see-through. Now customers have been complaining that Lululemon store “educators” are asking customers to drop into “downward dog” in order to get a refund. Toronto customer Christina Phillips wrote on Lululemon’s Facebook page: “The sales associate perused my butt in the dim lighting of the change room and deemed them ‘not sheer.’” The company has released a statement saying the “bend over” test is not a standard company policy, Lululemon’s CEO, Christine Day, told Bloomberg.com. Similar accounts from different customers have showed up on Twitter, Facebook and blogs after Lululemon began…
SimCity Disasters: DRM ruins game launch
SimCity Disasters: no it’s not the name of the latest SimCity expansion pack. It’s how you would describe the launch of SimCity 5. Fans are eager to play the $60 simulation game, but due to server overloads many fans have been waiting hours in frustration. The servers are overloaded because SimCity 5 requires an “always-on” internet connection. The company says this is because back-end computations take place in the cloud. But fans suspect the always-on connection is because EA Maxis wants to maintain strict DRM controls and verify no bootleg copies are played. EA Maxis hasn’t handled the crisis well. Amazon has suspended sales of SimCity 5 and players continue to report trouble accessing servers….

Sony PS4 launch event falls flat
Sony officially announced the release of the PS4 in New York, but they failed to show what the console looks like or say how much it will cost. Lead design architect Mark Cerny described the new PS4 console as a supercharged PC. Using the Sony Cloud, PS4 users will be able to start a game at home and then take it mobile on their overpriced PlayStation Vita. The PlayStation Move controller can be used with the PS4 to design 3D objects and images that can be placed in different environments. The only hardware introduced at the launch event was the Dualshock 4 controller, which has a share button that allows your friends on Facebook to…

Manti Te’o: hoaxed or hoaxster?
Notre Dame football player Manti Te’o claims he is the victim of a cruel hoax after Deadspin ran a story proving the cancer victim Te’o spoke openly of dating when she died this season never existed. If Te’o is to be believed, this means that he communicated via phone and Twitter for nearly a year with a false Internet persona created by a male family friend. Either that, or he participated in an elaborate lie that fooled the likes of CBS, ESP, AP and the New York Times for an entire football season. The heartbreaking tale of Te’o’s long-distance relationship with “former Stanford student Lennay Kekua” had been the inspirational story of the college football…

Armstrong has said he’s ready to speak candidly, but after a decade of lying and…
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 vs iPhone 5
Samsung vs Apple: Samsung’s Galaxy Note 2 may launch Samsung to the top of the smartphone game. Even with the debut of Apple’s iPhone 5, Samsung Electronics was still able to report higher than ever fourth-quarter earnings thanks in large part to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Ever since the debut of the smaller, lighter iPhone 4 in 2011, Apple fans have been growing increasingly disappointed with the amount of innovation with each new model. The 2012 release of the iPhone 5 was met with a resounding “Meh.” On the other end of the spectrum, Samsung has been slowly but surely rising in the smartphone ranks. Initial models were quite laughable when compared to their…
