(Derp of the Day) 2 Kansas men accidentally call 911 during a drug deal!

Jesus Suarez and Jesus Santos were putting the finishing touches on a crack cocaine sale when one of their cell phones dialed the emergency number. The dispatcher overheard a commotion on the other end and kept the connection until the location could be traced and cops could be sent to the scene.

When the officers were nearby, one of the men was overheard saying, ‘Oh, there goes the cops’ before being taken into custody.

“We have been trying to figure out how to classify it,” said Leavenworth police Chief Patrick Kitchens. “It might be the first case where a person accidentally dialed 911 and got arrested.”

MITT ROMNEY: Nudges Rivals to Quit

Mitt Romney is urged his Republican rivals to pack it in yesterday, saying that he’s on track to score the presidential nomination before the party’s convention. Yet Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich continued to say that they’re in it for the long haul.

On top of that, a Santorum ally suggested that Newt give up, but Gingrich declined, saying he’d only consider it if he thought Santorum could beat Romney and President Obama, but “I don’t,” he said.

Santorum also had some choice words for Romney, when he heard that Romney had said it would take an act of God for any other Republican candidate to collect the required convention delegates. Santorum snapped, “What won’t they resort to, to try to bully their way through this race? If the governor now thinks he’s now ordained by God to win, then let’s have it out.”

(OPINION) HACK ATTACK: FBI Warns Congress About Terrorist Threat

The director of the FBI warned members of Congress yesterday that terrorist groups might launch a cyber-attack on the U.S. The warning comes a day after several hackers from the Anonymous movement were arrested by authorities.

FBI Director Robert Mueller said in written testimony, “Terrorists have shown interest in pursuing hacking skills. And they may seek to train their own recruits or hire outsiders, with an eye toward pursuing cyber-attacks. These adaptations of the terrorist threat make the FBI’s counterterrorism mission that much more difficult and challenging.”

(TECH) The new iPad unveiled

Apple unveiled their third-generation iPad yesterday and one of the biggest surprises is the name. During the introductory presentation Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook, who replaced the late Steve Jobs, simply referred to the device as the “new iPad,” rather than the expected iPad 3 moniker.

The new tablet has many improvements, including a faster processor, a higher resolution “retina display” screen, and 4G “LTE,” or Long-Term Evolution network capability, allowing for faster downloads and better streaming when not connected to wi-fi.

Apple will continue to offer the iPad 2, but is dropping the price by $100 to $399. The wi-fi only new version goes on sale March 16th for $499, with the top-of-the-line model priced at $629.
