– Qualcomm announced the Handsolo today. It’s waterproof, battery-free and has unlimited expandable memory. Also, you can wank off with it.

– Gmail Custom Time, which lets users send up to 10 emails to the past per year, debuted today. Wouldn’t it be neat to get a drunken rant from Future You?

– FNMA will 100% finance Stated Income/Stated Asset loans up to $729,000. First-time buyer? There’s love left in this funny-money treasury for you too.

– Activists are trying to rename April 1st “Fossil Fools Day.” (Seriously.)
