GPS leads driver into tight spot, stays wedged for three days


Every few months, we happen upon yet another story involving a motorist who simply believes that their GPS system would never, ever lead them astray. This go 'round, a Czech lorry driver continued down an incredibly narrow lane at the request of his sat nav, and even though his ginormous camion was clearly too large to make it around the 90-degree turn, he threw common sense to the wind and continued onward. Needless to say, his ride ended up wedged so tightly he couldn't reverse his way out, so he decided to set up shop for three whole days rather than calling for "an expensive weekend rescue." Interestingly enough, the fellow managed to acquire food after befriending a couple that lived nearby, and while we're sure he uttered Michael Scott's words in a different tongue, we've little doubt that "the machine knows!" was heard by nearby wildlife shortly before this situation turned sour.

Zenum's Organum MP3/MP4 Player floated into the ether


We first got wind of the Swiss outfit Zenum back in September when they announced their handsome but vaporous Opus Operis Pocket PC Phone Edition device. So we'll go ahead and tell you about their new Organum MP3/MP4 Player but you'll have to take the "end 2007" delivery date with a big dose of salt. The new DAP heavily tagged as "under development" throws down support for MP3, ASF, WMA, WAV, JPG, and BMP files and features a 1.8-inch, 128 x 160 pixel display, built-in microphone, and 2GB of storage. No doubt, she's one fine looker but Zenum will have to offer something better than just attractive industrial design in a market saturated with thin flash players. Perhaps that silver band is the new special sauce of navigators? Nah, probably not.
