Mariah Carey's "GMA" performance was all that and much more, as the singer's appearance was derailed by a wardrobe malfunction and the 43-year-old chanteuse cursing on live TV. The back of Carey's dress -- which was created by Donatella Versace -- split open as she was talking to host Lara Spencer. The two then did their best to manage the precarious situation, as Carey's bust began to spill out of her outfit. "Oh shoot, now the back of my dress just popped," she said. "I love you Donatella, but it popped."   Spencer described the debacle as "a TV moment" and cut to commercial. When the broadcast returned, Carey was wearing a pink number. As she welcomed fellow singer Miguel to the stage, she let out an "oh sh-t" on live TV and followed it up with a "you didn't hear that!" Eventually, the pair performed "#Beautiful," Carey's big comeback single . Take a look at her wardrobe malfunction abov

“Flash or disk?” That question — whether the future of data storage would be defined by flash memory or hard drives — has been a looming battle in the storage industry for the last several years. Hard drives, of course, remain the heart of the storage industry. Manufacturers shipped 524 million disk drives in 2012, according to iSuppli, more than ten times the 39 million flash drives that were shipped in the same period. Worldwide manufacturing capacity for drives at the end of 2012 came to around 125,000 petabytes per quarter, compared to around 10,000 petabytes per quarter for flash. By volume, hard drives are tough to beat.

Graves of a Catholic woman and her Protestant husband, who were not  allowed to be buried together. In the Protestant part of this cemetery, J.W.C  van Gorcum, colonel of the Dutch Cavalry and militia commissioner in Limburg, is  buried. His wife, lady J.C.P.H van Aefferden, is buried in the Catholic part.  They were married in 1842, the lady was 22 and the colonel was 33, but he was a  protestant and didn’t belong to the nobility. This caused quite a  commotion in Roermond. After being married for 38 years, the colonel died in  1880 and was buried in the protestant part of the cemetery against the wall. His  wife died in 1888 and had decided not to be buried in the family tomb but on the  other side of the wall, which was the closest she could get to her husband. Two  clasped hands connect the graves across the wall. ( Link )

You might remember Microsoft's recent ad comparing the Windows RT flavored 64GB ASUS VivoTab Smart with the fourth-generation Apple iPad . Microsoft even used Siri's voice as a Voice Over announcer. Now, in a more hard-hitting spot, Microsoft shows off capabilities that the ASUS VivoTab has that the Apple iPad doesn't offer out of the box and also shows how the ASUS slate is thinner than the iPad (.32 inch versus .37 inch) and is lighter (1.16 pounds versus 1.44 pounds). Microsoft is more than happy (gleeful, perhaps?) to show that while the Apple iPad only has the OneNote app, the ASUS slate comes with Microsoft Office. Again, the Redmond based software giant reminds you that while the iPad doesn't multitask, the Windows RT powered tablet does do more than one thing at a time. Want to expand the native storage on your tablet? Good luck looking for the microSD slot on the Apple slate. You can buy an adapter and kudos to Microsoft for pointing that out. But guess w

  Police in Philadelphia are looking for a 21-year old man who shot up a strip club with an assault rifle.  They say that Henry Pettigrew is responsible for firing off his gun in the Purple Orchid Genteman’s Club after getting into an argument with the bouncers. According to witnesses, Pettigrew became angry that the DJ wouldn’t play his song. When the bouncers tried to put him out, Pettigrew got even more upset and attacked a customer that he thought was a bouncer.  When the man tried to get away in his SUV, Pettigrew shot at him with an AK-47 and hit him in his right hip. “Fortunately where it hit him, it hit the flesh of his body and it didn’t hit any vital organs,” Lt. Johnny Walker of the Philadelphia Police Department said. Surveillance shows the man trying to get back into the club, but falling down because he was drunk.  He then started to shoot everywhere. “Just wildly, obviously with an AK-47 with a banana clip, it can fire multiple rounds at a high rate of speed very qui
