Engadget run a story of a “Cool758 razor phone really can shave”. Besides being an electric razor the phone has dual-sim capability, a touchscreen, and a 2 megapixel camera to fall back on. No word on price or availability.
Is this for real? Or is this an early April Fools joke? And more importantly when will they release a phone that makes hot macchiatos and espressos??

Finger-licking good USB drives
Do you remember a story that made the news in most blogging sites like gizmodo about a guy named Jerry Jalava, who had an accident while biking, losing his finger.
