A single man—poultry tycoon Austin J. DeCoster—was responsible for this year’s salmonella outbreak that sickened almost 2,000 people across 22 states, and forced a recall of half a billion eggs.

Panasonic’s Robot is Gonna Wash That (Hu)Man Right Outta Your Hair

There’s nothing worse than an overly chatty hairdresser. Someone harping on about their snotty-nosed children, or about how lazy their husband is. Bring on the robots, I say.

Booq’s Cobra Laptop and iPad Bags For Today’s Busy, Young Urban Professionals

Keeping with the snake theme, Booq’s new Cobra range of four gadget-friendly bags are (mostly) affordable, but actually look really nice.
