Spike Jonze's new film is about a man that falls in love with his phone--the question remains about which phone he chooses, but it could be one of the new Nokia Lumias! Announced yesterday, the Lumia 820 and 920 both run Windows 8 and boast an impressive camera (not 41 megapixels, though). But wait, something about their commercials doesn't sit right with us...
To celebrate the launch of Nokia's colorful new Windows phones, we'll take a look at the tech it's replacing: voicemail and e-mail! We'll also look at Eurocom's new mobile phone approved by rabbis.

It's only been half a day since Clint Eastwood bombed the RNC Convention, but the ridiculous amount of "viral memes" online are already making it feel stale. We have no choice but to show you a few picks, and we'll also have a live taste test of ThinkGeek's bacon and Sriracha-flavored lollipops.
We all loved Bridget Carey's appearance on last Friday's 404 episode so much that she's contractually obligated to join us every other Thursday. She'll help us out on today's episode featuring coverage of Obama's Reddit AMA appearance, the new Metal Gear live action movie announcement, and Google.com displaying birthday reminds and cluttering up a once-pristine home page with...junk.
No, Samsung is not paying Apple its $1 billion fine in truckloads of nickels.

We'll sort through the truth and lies on today's 404 episode.
What happens to your digital media after you die? It's a morbid topic, but someone has to cover it! We'll also meet a group of citizen journalists in LA obsessed with listening to police scanners and watch in delight as the Internet roasts the geniuses at Bic that came up with pens made "specifically for women."
On today's 404 episode, we'll study online reviews for hire, adults-only social networking, LinkedIn's strange B2B popularity, and why religious Web sites tend to harbor more viruses than naughty ones.
Gems Peterson and Bridget Carey stop by the 404 studio to help out with today's stories that include a century-old time capsule, the absolute death of the cassette tape, Facebook launching a faster iOS app, and LL Cool J bringing the boomdizzle on a home intruder.
There's a reason why certain songs trigger a visceral response from our emotions--scientists have discovered that musical memories are stored in a different part of our brains. On today's 404 episode, we'll take a look at scientific evidence to support this theory, Microsoft's new logo, and the story of a Google employee forced to look at the worst videos on the Internet (404 included).
Topics discussed on today's 404 episode include Nintendo Power calling it quits, a DIY BioShock pinball game, summer hit songs relying on social followings for replay value, and the Internet implodes as Avril Lavigne announces her engagement to Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger.
