ANTmageddon
Open up a shed and look at that saw dust - oh-oh bad news, let's try some TERRO Liquid Ant Killer to start - look at them feeding on it...
But we all know if you see one ant - there are many, many, many more...

Buying SIM card for travel in Italy
Getting a SIM card with local phone number for unlocked cell phone in Italy is super simple but I'll post details here anyways.
You phone must be unlocked to accept other cell phone providers SIM cards - if you're with AT&T getting your phone unlocked is easy - here is a link to their device unlock request site:
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock
When you arrive in Italy look for official cell phone provider store, don't just use kiosk re-sellers - whole process goes much smoother when dealing with provider directly based on my experience.
First of you will need an identification document such as passport or driver's license.
There are few cell phone providers in Italy, but WIND seems to have best package geared towards travelers:
120 min of talk, 120 SMS/Text Messages and 2GB worth of data
This is what WIND SIM card looks like:
on the back of the card there is your Italian phone number and pin code.
You will need to re-enter your pin code if you restart your phone or battery goes dead.
Once you have new WIND SIM card inserted into your phone you should see it under "Carrier" in iPhone settings and you will also get a welcome text message from WIND in Italian ;):
Reset cell data usage on iPhone to track amount of data being used:
That's all there is to it - enjoy using your phone while traveling and not having to worry about enormous charges!
To check account balance dial: *123#

Ever wonder how XFX makes $$$ with Lifetime Warranty on their Video Cards?:
"Unfortunately, if the card isn`t registered within the first 30 days of purchase, then it will have a 1 year warranty from the purchase date. I regret to say that we will not be able to warranty the card at this time."
"Unfortunately, if the card isn`t registered within the first 30 days of purchase, then it will have a 1 year warranty from the purchase date. I regret to say that we will not be able to warranty the card at this time."
That's how!
Pure scam - who the heck remembers/knows to register something within 30 days?
