Aug 1, 2012 9:20 PM   Remember the $1 million gold-plated vacuum with its own awful rap video? Of course you do. Gaudy loot like that isn't easily forgotten. And apparently, it's not easily sold, either. "It's perplexing to me, but as of now we've not sold a single vacuum," creator of the Gold Vacuum, Justin Haver, is quoted as saying in a press release advertising the product's up-for-grabs status. Not moving any inventory, the GoVacuum has announced that its fancy dust-suckers will be made available to those willing to shell out $1M... OBO (or best offer, in eBay and auction parlance). There you have it, America. There. You. Have it. I'll throw down $100—who else wants to go in on one of the babies?

When it comes to social networks, Apple has always cozied up to Twitter, but it turns out their relationship might have been a little more serious than we all thought. A while back, Apple considered offering several hundred million dollars for a stake in the micro-blogging platform. The New York Times broke the news with information from unnamed sources who said the considered offer was at least in the hundred million dollar territory, a number which would have put Twitter at somewhere near a $10 billion valuation.

That's not to mention that Microsoft has (part of) Facebook and Google has Google+, so Apple's sort of out in the cold. An offer in the hundreds of millions range wouldn't be a very big deal for Apple either, considering it's sitting on roughly $100 b...

If you're a terrorist, a guerrilla, or are aspiring toward either, The Armory might be your gun depot of choice. But for anyone not on the government's radar, 100-percent legal, open websites are all you need to plan an American massacre. This is a little scary. It doesn't appear James Holmes broke any laws of the US or Colorado until he allegedly opened fire in that crowded theater. Up until that point, he was just another guy accumulating multiple firearms, bullet-maximizing accessories, and thousands upon thousands of bullets. All it took to create a cache of weapons capable of mass murder was time, money, and Internet savvy—three things most Americans have at least some of. With only Google and a few nouns, you can find everything you need to kill lots of people. "buy bulk ammo" "100-round magazine" "body armor" Plug these searches in, and a bevy of eager online merchants will ring you up. Unlike The Armory, there's no need for encrypt...
