| A homeless man who claims he wasn't paid the promised $20 for standing in line. (Credit: Rich DeMuro/YouTube screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET) As long as there is still excitement about an iPhone, capitalism survives to crow another day. So while many smiling faces and giddy torsos were witnessed around the world as the new iPhones went on sale Friday, some people were left grim. At the Pasadena, Calif., Apple store, there was more than the average level of commotion. A businessman had allegedly hired around 100 homeless people to stand in line on his behalf. Their remit was to get vouchers for two iPhones each. For this they say they were promised $20 for each phone they could secure. (Apple imposes a two-phone limit.) However, as Rich DeMuro of KTLA-TV reports, some claim they didn't get their money. One homeless man spoke to DeMuro on camera. He said he'd stood in line from 6 p.m. on Thursday. He said ...read more...

| A reassuring pop-up on the NSA's Web site. (Credit: Screenshot by CNET) The US National Security Agency has posted an ad for a "Civil Liberties & Privacy Officer," offering critics of the NSA a well-nigh irresistible chance to play the time-honored game of reading between the lines of a job listing. Some of the potentially more ironic phrases: - The candidate "rapidly adapts to...unexpected obstacles,"
- "deals effectively with pressure; remains optimistic and persistent, even under adversity,"
- "complies with established control systems and rules," and
- "perceives organizational...reality and acts accordingly."
The NSA surveillance scandal is no joke, of course. It threatens both the Constitution and, possibly, the agency's effectiveness at fighting terrorism. But given the NSA's perceived double-talk on the issue, one might be forgiven a snigger or two at the job post. (Besides, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has said himself that the debate surrounding the agency's spy programs needed to happen -- surely that debate could include ...read more...

| Meet Andrew Miller, part of an elite group of costumers who seek movie-quality perfection in their outfits. (Credit: Christopher MacManus/CNET) Three types of people generally inhabit costuming (cosplay) culture: those who buy elementary outfits from places like Party City; those who pursue advanced costumes that tally up hundreds of dollars; and truly dedicated folks like Andrew Miller, who invested hundreds of hours into creating his own custom-made Boba Fett getup. Related stories For Miller, a Michigan office worker, being Boba Fett -- or at least looking and acting a whole lot like the intergalactic bounty hunter -- has become a second life of sorts. The pictorial below explores Miller's "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi"-inspired Boba Fett outfit, which took many years of dedicated work, research, and painting -- and, of course, extraordinary attention to detail -- to achieve. You'll learn about the finer ...read more...

| NASA's LADEE lunar probe takes off from Virginia aboard a Minotaur V rocket. (Credit: Screenshot by Tim Hornyak/CNET) There's a bizarre glow on the moon and scientists have launched a probe to figure out what it is. A Minotaur V rocket roared into the skies above Virginia late Friday carrying the super sleuth robot, NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE), which will examine the moon's infinitesimal atmosphere and dust. The $280 million mission began with a textbook launch, visible to millions along the East Coast, as the probe was carried aloft at 11:27 PM EDT from Pad 0B at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Virginia. It marks the first use of Wallops Island for a moonshot, as well as the debut mission for Orbital Sciences' Minotaur V booster. Related stories |

| The incomparable dance maestro, David Brent. (Credit: BBC/YouTube Screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET) Let's discuss the word "daft." It is a very English -- Ye Olde English -- word that some would translate as "foolish." And others would translate as "utterly, mindbendingly insane." There is a band called Daft Punk, which, though French, got its name when an English music magazine described the music its members originally created as "daft punk." Here is the denouement: It's a daft idea to get an interviewee to dance to Daft Punk. When I say "interviewee," I don't mean interviewing for a place in the band. I mean interviewing for a job in an electronics store. Yet 21-year-old Alan Bacon insisted that is exactly what people at the Currys Megastore in Cardiff, Wales made him do. As the BBC reports, Bacon is a university graduate who loves cameras. He ended up being asked to do a cameo that seemed to come straight from the ...read more...

| Some Apple parody videos are better than others and the one going viral on the Internet right now, simply entitled "Introducing the iPhone 5S," ranks a solid 8 out of 10 with some pretty amusing lines. Some of the better quotes include: "To create the new iPhone, we started with a design we really loved. And then...stopped." "We have found a way to sell the exact same iPhone a year later...and sell millions." "We decided to spend more money on marketing because all the time added up is time...added up." "We laid off our who engineering staff to show how dedicated we were to this new direction." Enjoy.

| NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer will orbit the Moon to gather information on its atmosphere and surface conditions. It launches from Wallops Island, Va. tonight at 11:27 p.m. ET. (Credit: NASA) If the typical bevy of Friday night activities seem just too boring to bear, try out a rocket launch instead. At roughly 11:27 p.m. ET tonight, NASA will launch its Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) onboard an Orbital-made Minotaur V rocket. The launch is the first to take place at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Va., and will be visible to a wide array of East Coast onlookers lucky enough to catch a patch of clear sky with enough visibility. The goal of the $280 million mission, pronounced "laddie," is to investigate age-old unknowns surrounding the moon's atmosphere first poised by NASA's Surveyor 7 mission in 1968. Back then, astronauts caught sight of unexplainable "streamers" of light on the horizon of ...read more...

| This purported images of an iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C side-by-side is just one in a growing abundance of leaks. (Credit: Sonny Dickson) Apple's next iPhone is headed to China Mobile and its more than 740 million subscribers, according to a new report. Citing sources, The Wall Street Journal says Apple plans to sell the upcoming, and highly-rumored low-cost iPhone model on the carrier, which does not currently offer Apple's mobile phone. The report comes on the heels of others in recent weeks, claiming Apple and the carrier have been involved in business discussions. According to a report from Barclays on Thursday, a deal with China Mobile could bring in an extra 20 million iPhone unit sales within a year, and boost Apple's revenues in the region, which were down 14 percent from the previous year last quarter. Other estimates have edged closer ...read more...
