Bad Translations
A friend of mine bought an ipod clone online. He got it from http://www.mp3playerbuying.com (which isn't loading for me now)..
The place was in china. The paypal account he paid to was a US account from a different company, the confirmation came from yet a different company and it was shipped from yet another company.
This thing is very cool for the cheap price tag, but it goes overboard trying to be a clone. In fact when you turn it on it has a slightly altered apple logo that pops up on the screen.
The the most awesome part was the instruction booklet. This has to be the funniest thing I've seen in quite some time. The translation is so incredibly funny I had to scan it and post it up.. So check it out

Awesome Web Series Afterworld
Gotten through about 10 of these, animated yet a very compelling and well done story. Well over 100 episodes this looks worth watching all of.
AFTERWORLD is about a man - Russell Shoemaker - who awakens to discover that more than 99.9% of the population has disappeared, and that all technology has mysteriously shut down. As clues surface of a larger conspiracy afoot, Russ is determined to make it home to Seattle in the hopes that his family is still alive. He embarks on a journey that will change his life - and the fate of the world's - forever.
Here is the trailer:

The player on the website really sucks, I recommend going straight to their youtube channel here:
