Man Spends 62 Years Building Fleet Out of Matchsticks

Thu, 02 September 2010 06:28:24

Philip Warren spent the past 62 years faithfully recreating an armada of 432 Royal Navy warships out of matchsticks and wooden matchboxes. Over the last six decades, he has painstakingly crafted every naval warship afloat, in service or to have come in since the second World War. 79-year-old Philip, a retired company director from Blandford, Dorset, England, began creating his first ship in 1948 when he was just 17. He uses a razor blade, tweezers and sandpaper to carve the matches and boxes before piecing them together using PVA and balsa wood glue. In total he has utilized more than 650,000 to create his incredibly detailed 1:300 scale models. Very impressive, sir. If it weren't for professional sports and video games, we'd probably be in a basement gluing stuff together, too. Keep reading for a closer peek at some of Philip's work. ...

Google Sued Over Nexus One 3G Connectivity Problems, Misleading Claims

Thu, 02 September 2010 01:18:38

On Tuesday, Google was slapped with a breach of contract class action lawsuit alleging that its Nexus One smartphone failed to maintain 3G connectivity and that the Mountain View company not only made misleading claims about the products capabilities but also failed to adequately support customers in search of answers. Plaintiff Nathan Nabors of Florida is seeking damages and class action interest on behalf of residents of his home state as well as California who have bought the Nexus One since its January debut. The only defendant named in the suit is Google in other words, manufacturer HTC and exclusive 3G carrier T-Mobile USA are not included in the suit. The potential size of the classes is not specified in the complaint. The suit says Google basically failed to warn customers they would not receive faster 3G connectivity, even in areas where T-Mobile USA said such coverage was available. In addition, customer support from Google, to which T-Mobile referred customers with 3G connectivity issues, came up short. Among other customer service failures, Google denied the problems with the phone were its problem, even as the named plaintiff was missing calls, according to the suit. Breach of warranty claims aside, the suit also says Google violated the Communications Act by making false and misleading claims about the Nexus One. For your reference: Google killed the Nexus One on July 16 after shutting down its ballsy but ill-fated Web store, which enabled people to purchase the Android smartphone directly, bypassing the carrier. A Google spokesperson was not immediately available for comment on the class action. [crunchbase url="http://www.crunchbase.com/product/nexus-one" name="Nexus One"]
