SNL sketch knows guns really brings loved ones closer together

Amy Schumer’s SNL debut certainly didn’t pull any punches — especially when it came to a searingly sarcastic skit about guns

Created in the style of a sensitive and fuzzy insurance commercial, this SNL sketch mocks gun control policy by stating that guns are there for you in your most vulnerable and tender moments

From that peaceful jog in the park, to the perfect anniversary, to the birth of a baby: all of these experiences are vastly improved by GUNS!

Thanks, Guns!

Cooper's gay dads both want to be Darth Vader in an adorably geeky new ad

When both of your parents are men, it’s only natural that there be the occasional bout of friendly fatherly competition.

That’s what happens in a new ad for a Star Wars-themed line of Campbell’s soups in which two dads each make the case to their toddler son that they can do a better Darth Vader impression than the other.

“Cooper, I am your father,” says one dad before his partner interjects: “No, no, no I am your father.”

TENAA certifies Samsung Galaxy Grand On

The Samsung Galaxy Grand On, model number SM-G5500, has just been certified by Chinese regulator TENAA. As usual, the information released by the agency includes the specs, so here we go. The handset features a 5.1-inch display with a 720 x 1280 resolution. An unnamed dual-core 1.2GHz CPU drives the phone, despite earlier rumors that called for the Exynos 3475 to be under the hood. That rumor stated that the latter would carry a quad-core 1.3GHz CPU. 1GB of RAM is inside, along with 8GB of native storage. Those seeking additional memory can access the 128GB capacity microSD slot.

Interested in the BlackBerry Priv? Register your interest in the slider at Carphone Warehouse

The last time there was so much interest in a new BlackBerry handset, the company was ready to launch its first touchscreen phone. The BlackBerry Storm was going to show those interlopers from Cupertino a thing or two about the smartphone business. You could just imagine RIM’s co-CEOs, Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie, calling Steve Jobs and complaining that BlackBerry doesn’t make desktop PCs or MP3 players, so why should Apple invade on BlackBerry’s turf.

The Storm turned out to be a disaster as it was launched half-baked. While the sequel was actually a serviceable handset that offered … – Source

How to adopt a 5-hour workday and make time for extraordinary living

The nine-to-give grind has created a cult of workaholics.

Lawyers, consultants and investment bankers pride themselves on putting in 12-hour days, and those of us who can get by working eight hours consider ourselves lucky

What most people don’t know is that the eight-hour workday is an outdated standard that was first introduced in 1866. In 1914, Henry Ford cut the workday in half to boost productivity and reduce turnover among factory workers.

Unfortunately, the eight-hour workday hasn’t budged since. Never mind that the Information Age represents the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution and that family structures have changed dramatically since the early 1900s. …
