David Beckham Gets a Gold iPod Touch

We thought Beckham had been officially exiled from his home country, but apparently he's back ~~and captaining their squad~~. His teammates were sooooo thrilled at his return that they all chipped in and purchased a gold iPod Touch (probably from these people) and engraved his name on the back. Not only that, they engraved what it was for—his 100th cap—so Becks wouldn't think that it was for being the most handsome guy on the squad. In comparison, I expect something along these lines when I reach my 10,000th blog post. Maybe a solid gold keyboard. Or some money. [Telegraph]

The almost always fashionable David Beckham was caught using a cheap-o belt clip for his non-iPhone. For shame, Becks. For shame. [GeekSugar]

Motorola Chooses David Beckham As Brand Ambassador

When he's not too busy bending things like balls and his Spice Girl wife, David Beckham will be ~~hawking~~ promoting Motorola, maker of cellphones, cable modems and other assorted goodies. A three year deal worth more money than necessary, Beckham will begin selling his soul during the ongoing World Cup, being seen only with Motorola products, as seen here.

Also of note is that Beckham will lend his name and image to help promote the MOTO(RED) campaign, which aims to help eliminate AIDS in Africa. – Nicholas Deleon

Thieves Using Laptops To Steal High Tech Cars

Jason Chen — Thu, 04 May 2006 09:18:28 EDT

The ballsy blokes suspected to have stolen two of Becks' BMW X5s did so by using software on a laptop to hack into the car's computer. Once in, they opened the doors, started the ignition, and drove away with the feeling you only get when you steal from a guy who can afford it—not that we know what that feels like, or condone theft in any way.

The software, which takes 20 minutes to get past the car's built in protection, is going real popular real fast as carmakers are starting to rely solely on software to protect their autos.

However, we suspect the thieves were actually in there looking for Posh and Beck's "home videos", and when they couldn't find it the first time they tried their luck again. You know where to reach us!
