Three detained for high-tech exam cheating

Chinese officials have detained three students sitting their University entrance exams, after they were found to be in possesion of wireless Microphones.

Exams officials first became suspicious after a small bus parked at the front of the exam centre remained there for sometime.

Inside the officials found three men staring at computer screens and communicating by walkie talkies.

Must read: eBay scammers find new ways to fool

Take a close look at the eBay listing below. Looks pretty normal right? But clicking on that ‘buy it now’ button will cost you a lot more than you bargained for. Thats because in the latest attempt to fool an increasingly phishing educated eBay audience, scammers have found a way to code a jpeg image over eBay’s buy it now button. In fact the whole area you can see below is one big jpeg, which once clicked will redirect you to a phishing site, which most people would assume is still eBay. After that you complete your payment, and wham-o, you just fell for the oldest trick in the 21st Century’s book. Pretty clever really.

Malfunction! Need Input!

If you, like me, were a child of the 80s, then take a freakin look at this! It combines all the fun and excitment of Lego Technics, with all the freakin 80′s campness of Johnny Five–in one exciting box! OK, OK so it’s not actually a retail release, just some fellow nerd with too much time on his hands, getting freaky with the old lego kit…but boy is this cool. It even talks. Batteries not included (oh, right, wrong movie).
