If you saw this on NBC, you'd switch channels.
Police: Florida man attempted burglary while carrying infant
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_ODD_BURGLARY_WITH_BABY?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2015-01-06-13-00-31
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- Police say a Florida man carrying his 5-month-old son acted as a lookout while his friend tried to break into a house, then threatened the owner of the home with a knife. St. Petersburg Police said in a news release that a homeowner found 22-year-old Corey Mathews outside his home Monday, holding a baby in a car carrier.
Police say that when Mathews spotted the homeowner, he alerted another suspect attempting to break into the home. The other suspect fled, and the homeowner called 911 as he followed Mathews. Mathews then pulled out a knife and threatened to kill the man if he kept following him.
Mathews was held Tuesday on $15,000 bond on burglary and other charges. Pinellas County jail records didn't show whether he had an attorney. Police say Mathews' mother took custody of the baby.

Please don't post this type of random tabloid garbage. You're just filling the forum with worthless crap. If we wanted to read this stuff we'd subscribe to National Inquirer.

Sorry for completely destroying your day, dave.
[edit]
You are right, of course. In examining my own motives, I think it's because I have been following the news out of CES and have been disappointed with items covered. Most things at CES Las Vegas should stay in Vegas.
(Also I'm not thrilled with going out into the cold again today).

Yeah, not sure you want to know what your kids are doing in their beds at 3 am.
Wow! MHL consortium announced 8K cables and standard. :RollingEyesSmiley5: It took 18 months for TV manufacturers to include HDMI 2, the essential standard that was required for consumer acceptance (even thought most people still don't know what it is).
Dell announced a Broadwell 13" retina laptop that has the same form factor as most 11" laptops with a 15 hour battery life. Apple is going to need to rush out that ARM based MacBook Air a year early to get any headlines this Spring.
Edit: left out the real news from yesterday. This should mean true gigabit wireless for consumers, assuming any laptop makers ever ship something faster than AC-1200... Quantenna demos 8×8 MU-MIMO radios [semiaccurate.com]

That's a $1299 laptop from Dell for the cheapest version. Not many people are going to go for that, regardless of the specs.

Yeah, I head Apple is shutting down the MBA production because not many people are going for those either. (sigh)
Re: Yes, life is bad television - Lew Zealand - 01-06-2015
I said nothing about MBAs, I was only referring to a Dell north of $1,000, which few people buy. People all over the place buy >$1,000 Macs of all types.

It's a halo item. $4000 mobile Windows workstations are still made, and they actually have decent GPU's in them, unlike the MacBook "Pro."

No one is allowed to compete with Apple? If nothing else, hope Apple puts a better panel in the nearly $1000 MacBook Air.
