This Minimalist Star Wars Chess Set Costs $128,000!
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Wars, the artist over at luxury French goods manufacturer S.T. Dupont crafted this $128,000 (HK$1 million) minimalist chess set that pays homage to the franchise.
The round chess board is made of black obsidian with a polished and matte finish and the Empire and Rebellion pieces are rendition of iconic characters including Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Han Solo and Chewbacca. The gold design elements on each piece evoke the signature looks of the characters to bring the universe to life.
The Empire pieces are made out of nephrite jade from British Columbia while the Rebellion pieces are crafted in natural rock crystal quartz. Each of the pieces is hand-carved and engraved with extreme attention to detail. The metal gold-plated rim of the checker board resembles the Death Star’s exterior design. In addition to that, the drawer pulls on the board feature the symbols of the two sides.

A New All-Time Low: Logging Into Facebook To Save Your Non-Facebook Game
So let me get this straight. I have to log into Facebook to save my Adventure Time IOS game, even though my Adventure Time IOS game has literally nothing to do with Facebook? Yes, this seems totally legit. Makes sense.
*uninstalls whack game
Not cool, not classy, gaming is getting kind of gross, especially mobile gaming. For shame, people. I expect more from anything with Adventure Time attached to it. We are gamers, not walking billboards or pop-up ads.
Show us a little respect or you wouldn’t exist.

WiFi Users Agree To Clean Portable Toilets

22,000 WiFi users in the UK have unwittingly agreed to unblock sewers by hand. They failed to read a clause placed in terms and conditions as a stunt.
Purple provides Wi-Fi services that businesses and other facilities offer as public Wi-Fi for customers. To access the connection, customers need to confirm they accept a set of terms and conditions. The company recently edited these conditions to include a clause reading:
The user may be required, at Purple’s discretion, to carry out 1,000 hours of community service. This may include the following:
- Cleansing local parks of animal waste
- Providing hugs to stray cats and dogs
- Manually relieving sewer blockages
- Cleaning portable lavatories at local festivals and events
- Painting snail shells to brighten up their existence
- Scraping chewing gum off the streets
More than 22,000 people agreed to the conditions during the two weeks. Further evidence that they hadn’t actually read the terms comes from the fact that the small print also offered a prize for anyone who contacted the company to say they’d spotted the offer. Just one person claimed the prize.
The good news for customers is that the company says it won’t be enforcing the clause. Instead it’s a stunt to promote that it’s the first Wi-Fi company to fully comply with new European laws on data privacy that come into effect next May. One of the new rules is that customers must give “unambiguous consent” to the use of their data.
Purple says that following the experiment, it’s rewritten its privacy policy to reduce it from 1,600 to be 260 words, increasing the likelihood people will read it and make an informed choice to agree to it.
