Stolen Baby Jesus Returned with Photos of its Travel

This Christmas, a family here may keep a closer eye on their statue of baby Jesus. Last year someone plucked it from the nativity scene in their front yard and spent eight months traveling the state, returning it complete with plenty of photos of where it had been.

The statue was taken Dec. 23, and a note - promising to return the baby Jesus in three days - was left in the statue's place.

Eight months later, Joan's husband, John Leising, opened the front door and found the statue on his porch, along with a photo album that showed images of the figurine in front of highway signs in Binghamton, Rochester, Albany and Poughkeepsie.

It was photographed at the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, and posed on a bicycle, on a horse, in a car wearing a seat belt, in a chair next to a campfire and in someone's kitchen.

A note enclosed, signed "Creators of the baby Jesus chronicles," assured the family that the prank was not intended to be "blasphemous or disrespectful." - azcentral.com

To bad they didn't show any of the pictures.

Apple Phone Pictures Leaked?

Another reported iPhone leak. It has no buttons at all just a touch sensitive area. I could see Apple doing something like this. Looks kinda believable. Is it real or just real fake. What you think... Guess we will all see in January at Mac World.

More Fun with the “Shift” Key

This article has some fun things to do with the shift key on your Mac. Most of it makes stuff go slo-mo. For example try holding the Shift key while pressing F12. This makes Dashboard go realy slow. It also works with Expose'. Fun waste of time.

Ultraportable MacBook Specs Leaked?

-2.16 or 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo
-1GB RAM (3GB max)
-ATI Radeon Mobility X1600 or Nvidia Go 7600
-8-hour battery life

Update:

Looks like the rumors surrounding that 12-inch MacBook Pro we spoke of earlier are starting to beef up. The gang at Mac OS Rumors is convinced Apple is working on a MacBook "Thin" and have listed all the specs they got from their "trusted sources in Cupertino and Southeast Asia." Apple may be working on an ultraportable, but we call BS on this "leak.

Apple fanboys may wanna believe that's possible, but fitting all of that in a chassis that's supposed to be thinner than the current MBP? Keep dreaming. Compare that to the MacBook (which has integrated graphics and tops out at 2GHz) and you'll realize those specs are way too high to be real. - gizmodo.com

Falcon unveils flame-painted FragBook TLX gaming laptop

Falcon Northwest has unveiled the FragBook TLX which, as you can probably tell by the name, targets Falcon's traditional audience of hardcore gamers. Similar to its FragBook desktop replacement brethren, the TLX is based around a 17-inch, 1680 x 1050 LCD; but unlike the DR model, the TLX has a relatively diminutive design. At only 1.5-inches thick and weighing 7-pounds, it's certainly not what you'd call an ultraportable, but then again, most ultraportables don't feature the TLX's 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo processor, up to 160GB of hard drive storage and 2GB of RAM, nor the nVIDIA GeForce 7600 GO graphics card with 256MB of video RAM. The combination of thinness and performance doesn't come cheap though, as the starting price of the TLX is $3,516. Those of you who really want to burn money -- and be able to prove that you did so -- can opt for an optional flame painted color scheme for $426. -engadget.com

Ooooo... pretty....
