It is a good time to be an Adobe employee; not only are you drunk with euphoria over the successful launch of Creative Suite 5, but you may also find yourself rocking a hot, new Android handset courtesy of your employer. In a public show of support for Android and a large scale example of dog-fooding, Adobe may be handing out Android handsets to it employees. The distribution is expected to coincide with the highly anticipated launch of Flash for Android at the upcoming Google I/O conference. No details on which handset will get the Adobe blessing or whether these handsets are destined for all employees or just the development team. Hopefully, this rumor pans out as the folks at Adobe need a little pick-me-up right now

A Japanese website has a collection of crazy-ass Famicom controllers, from arcade-style fight sticks to… I don’t even know what some of them are for.

Apparently in the United States, the relationship of many married couples is being threatened by fart, so much so that a “science teacher” created a fart-absorbing blanket and named it “The Better Marriage Blanket.” And here I was thinking that snoring (or having 8 kids and going on a reality show) was the main reason why marriages dissolve, not flatulence. It may look like an ordinary comforter (heck, there’s a chance that it is an ordinary comforter), but apparently the Better Marriage Blanket has a lining of carbon fabric that traps fart molecules, thereby saving your marriage.
