Dish Network Tailgater Lets You Watch the Game at the Game

Posted: 30 Aug 2011 11:45 AM PDT

I am not the tailgating sort of person when it comes to sports. You can see more at home on the TV. Apparently, there are some out there that want to hear the crowd roar, but want to watch on TV at the same time. For this sort of person dish Network has the Tailgater allowing you to hit the stadium and then watch in the parking lot. That sounds really weird to me.

Aircraft Automation Causing Diminished Skills Among Pilots

Posted: 30 Aug 2011 10:59 AM PDT

With aircraft technology at its current state of advancement, there’s growing evidence that pilots are losing their edge in the cockpit. Why? Considering how much automation is involved in flying these days, pilots tend to be less concerned with mastering specific functions.

ShoulderFlex Massager Could Kill You

Also, after further reading on the FDA consumer concerns actually do fall under its jurisdiction, so this is all part of the job.
