Wait Bench or Weight Bench?

Here is one way to motivate people... SHAME!
That is what Fitness First in Rotterdam, The Netherlands is trying to do. It uses the bench you see in the picture as a scale and they displays your weight for all to see.

iPod Touch Catches on Fire in Kids Pants!

A mother is suing Apple and ten Apple Store employees after here 10 year old kid received second-degree burns: His pants caught on fire when an iPod touch exploded in his pants.

Question why is she suing 10 employees?

The iPod was turned off inside his pants when it popped, making him feel a "burning sensation." His pants were on fire, literally, the complaint says:

Plaintiff A.V. immediately ran to the bathroom and took off his burning pants with the assistance of a friend. On said date and at said time, the Apple iTouch had burned through Plaintiff A.V.'s pants pocket and melted through his nylon/spandex underwear, burning his leg.


UHH who wears nylon,spandex underwear?

OK this is probably the first and last time we at THE TECH NUTZ will ever do a post related to TV show "Dancing With The Stars."

Now he will be in the running with Holly, Hef's ex-girlfriend, for most hardware supporting them.
