Parking Douche

The tactfully named app “Parking Douche” works like this: you take a photo of an illegally parked car with your phone. The app records the licence plate and identifies the car by model and color. Then the service shows ads on desktop web pages, exposing the car to the limitless shame of the Internet. But here’s the brilliant bit: it only shows the ad to those who are near the car’s physical location, increasing the odds that the driver (or someone who knows them) will see the ad, and reducing annoyances for everyone else. The location is determined by GPS, and spread only to web users with IP addresses that are close by.

Armstrong Interview

This is pretty amazing: Armstrong, notoriously camera-shy and tight-lipped, did an hour-long interview about Apollo 11, sitting down with an Australian accountant (really) to relive his 1969 moon landing. He narrates a Google Moon view of the Eagle's descent, describing his harrowing landing, almost out of fuel. He talks about plenty of other tidbits, chortling at a question about moon-landing conspiracy theories.

Armstrong is almost as famous for his reluctance to talk about his experience as he is for making that “one small step.” His nervousness speaking publicly is well known, and when he does take the time to talk —about Apollo 11, the future of NASA or anything else —it’s usually a fairly muted, shaky performance, as you can see in this Congressional testimony.

7-year-old boy's suicide shocks Detroit community

USA TODAY

7-year-old boy's suicide shocks Detroit community By Gina Damron, Cecil Angel and Matt Helms, Detroit Free Press

Updated: 05/25/2012 11:35am

DETROIT - Peering through the keyhole of a locked door in her family's home, a 14-year-old girl saw the unthinkable: her 7-year-old brother hanging from a bunk bed with a belt around his neck, a police report says.

The girl alerted her mother and called 911. The mother and a neighbor forced their way into the room, took the boy down, and called 911, too.

The 7-year-old, whom the Detroit Free Press is not naming, had been depressed about being bullied by other kids at school and in his neighborhood, and about his parents' recent separation, the boy's mother told police, according to the report.
