• Mercedes-Benz has revealed its latest flagship
  cruiser, the 2014 S63 AMG 4Matic. The
  cream-of-the-crop from the latest generation
  S-Class family, the S63 AMG 4Matic houses a 5.5L
  twin-turbo V8 engine good for 577 hp and 664
  lb-ft of torque. All that power, plus a body
  weighing 220 pounds less than the outgoing model,
  means the S63 AMG will hit 0-60 mph in 3.9
  seconds before topping out at an
  electronically-limited 186 mph. High-performance
  AMG brakes, AMG Adaptive sport suspension and
  MBs 4Matic all-wheel-drive system ensures that
  you stay on the road at all times. The 2014
  Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG 4Matic will reach dealers

HTC One Mini

• Considering that wireless trends of recent times
  have equated big to necessarily mean better,
  the release of HTCs One Mini is a breath of
  fresh air. This phone HTCs follow-up to the
  ever popular HTC One houses a 720p resolution
  within its 4.3? body, as well as BoomSound
  speakers and a 4 megapixel camera at the back of
  the device. Under the hood, we find the One Mini
  equipped with Android 4.2.2 out of the box,
  running with Sense 5.0 and powered by a pretty
  zippy 1.4GHz dual-core Snapdragon 400. The
  aluminum body from the HTC One has been replaced
  with polycarbonate around the sides, making for a
  lightweight, though durable device. Enjoy a look
  at the HTC One Mini, releasing to worldwide
  audiences later next month.

Is The Internet Making Us All Dress The Same?

• Since ancient times, trade has organically
  positioned itself as a catalyst for
  trans-cultural diffusion. Its centralized
  marketplace is more than just an arena for the
  trading of goods and services it also creates a
  forum for the inquisitive to share in the
  transmission of ideologies, religion, history,
  customs, art, etc. So as buyers and sellers
  become more familiar with one another as in
  trading more frequently and sharing more product
  the proverbial floodgates give way to a river
  of cultural content exchange that over time
  travels to the remaining respective populations,
  thus blurring the lines that once distinguished
  these particular groups from one another. This
  phenomenon is often referred to as acculturation
  or assimilation, where the Western worlds impact
  on developing nations can be seen as a prime
  example. Moreover, its effect on particular
  industries sees the birth of a globalized market
  in which people from various walks of life share
  similar wants, values, choices and even
  purchasing habits.

Helen Thomas Dead

• Helen Thomas, the irrepressible White House
  correspondent who used her seat in the front row
  of history to grill nine presidents often to
  their discomfort and was not shy about sharing
  her opinions, died Saturday. She was 92.
• Thomas, who died at her apartment in Washington,
  had been ill for a long time, and in and out of
  the hospital before coming home Thursday,
  according to a friend, Muriel Dobbin.
• Thomas made her name as a bulldog for United
  Press International in the great wire-service
  rivalries of old, and as a pioneer for women in
  journalism.
• She was persistent to the point of badgering. One
  White House press secretary described her
  questioning as torture and he was one of her
  fans.
• Her refusal to conceal her strong opinions, even
  when posing questions to a president, and her
  public hostility toward Israel, caused discomfort
  among colleagues.
• In 2010, that tendency finally ended a career
  which had started in 1943 and made her one of the
  best known journalists in Washington. On a
  videotape circulated on the Internet, she said
  Israelis should get out of Palestine and go
  home to Germany, Poland or the United States.
  The remark brought down widespread condemnation
  and she ended her career.

Florida Deputy Brings Iced Tea And Skittles To
Work As Trayvon Martin Joke

• A sheriffs deputy was suspended on Thursday
  after bringing a can of Arizona Ice Tea and a bag
  of Skittles to work at a Florida county jail.
• These items have become deeply symbolic in the
  controversial trial of George Zimmerman, as they
  were being carried by Trayvon Martin when he died
  in Sanford, Florida, in February 2012.
• Corporal Chris Wood brought the candy and soda in
  last Saturday to try and make a misplaced point
  about separating professional and personal
  opinions in the workplace.
• But his superiors saw the gesture as offensive
  and insensitive, and Wood was suspended his
  first disciplinary action in 10 years of service
  for the sheriffs office.
• Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said that His
  delivery of that message was completely
  insensitive to not only the people in the room,
  and the things that were going on in our
  community, and our society, at that point, and
  thats what stimulated us looking at it.
• According to WFTV, Wood has been given a written
  reprimand and also he will be made to attend
  sensitivity and interpersonal training.

Is Kanye West Prepping A Unisex Fashion Line?

• Fresh off the introduction of the collaborative
  A.P.C. KANYE collection, it looks like Kanye West
  could be making a return to the world of fashion
  this fall. According to Page Six, Yeezy recently
  returned from a trip to Milan where he was hard
  at work on an upcoming line for his eponymous
