1. Amazon. Buys shoe e-tailer Zappos. So if you buy knockoff Nikes, will they visit your home and snatch them off your feet?

2. Intel. Claims its “human rights” violated by EU fines. If acting like total assholes proves you’re human, they’ve got a strong case.

3. Microsoft. Changes “Laptop Hunter” ads after Apple whined. We guess Apple’s human rights got violated too.

4. Palm. Resyncs Pre with iTunes, breaking Apple’s latest upgrade. More whining to commence in three… two…. one….

5. Galaxy NGC 1097. Eye of Sauron appears 50 million light years away (left). Hobbits & Comic Con attendees urged to stay indoors.
