What is my perfect crime?

What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It's her father's business. She's Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She's been waiting for me all these years. She's never taken another lover. I don't care. I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the chandelier.

Ubuntu is putting a desktop inside your Android

Ubuntu (a Linux based operating system) has plans to turn android phones into full desktop PC's simply by inserting your phone into a dock which connects your phone to a screen, keyboard & mouse.

it works by sharing the same Linux kernel between Android & Ubuntu, so when your phone is undocked, it's an Android phone, when it's docked it's a complete Ubuntu desktop PC and a phone, because Android & Ubuntu share the same mobile address book you can still call, text and manage your contacts while the phone is docked.

Ubuntu for android isn't available yet but you can check out their website for more information

Affordable VPS servers that actually work

if you're a web developer looking for cheap VPS hosting, then you've probably encountered the 'one man and his small server' type providers where your server is constantly going down or your pages are taking ages to load because the server is overloaded and poorly managed, and then the whole operation disappears over night.

well there's good news, there's an actual , real life , fully staffed VPS hosting provider called Digital Ocean, that provides VPS servers from around $5 a month and upwards , and even though the price is low, the quality of the service isn't.
