Samsung Galaxy S 4 isn't even out yet, but it's been rooted
We might have spent a few hours toying with Samsung's new mobile hardware, but tinkerers over at XDA-Developers have had enough time to root the Galaxy S 4, already. This means those (very) early adopters can start perusing the inner workings as soon as it arrives on store shelves. There's a video of the process after the break and you can pick up all the necessary files (and warnings of not to meddle with what you do not understand) at the source. There is one tiny caveat to the news, however, as the rooting magic is focused squarely on the Exynos 5 Octa model for now. According to SAM Mobile, several batches of the new Galaxy phone are rumored to be packing Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 instead of Samsung's homemade chip series. An official spokesperson from the UK branch has confirmed that it'll arrive in the there with the Snapdragon processor.

APRIL FOOL!
Self-inflating Whoopie Cushions
The whoopie cushion dates back to Roman times, but modern day rubber versions appeared in the 1920s. Those required the prankster to blow into them. <a href="http://www.creativekidstuff.com/self-inflating-whoopie-cushion.html" target="_blank">The 21st century version</a> has a hole in the center that guarentees it will inflate quickly after each use.
Flying Butterfly
This <a href="http://www.creativekidstuff.com/flying-butterfly.html" target="_blank">butterfly</a> has a wind-up rubber band and lays flat in a book or magazine until the unsuspecting rube opens it and gets the shock of their lives. OK, not their lives. Maybe not even their hour, but it is pretty cool looking. http://www.creativekidstuff.com/flying-butterfly.html
Rubber Pencil
It looks like a pencil -- sorta. It feels like a pencil -- sorta. But when the unsuspecting rube tries to write with this <a href="http://www.creativekidstuff.com/rubber-pencil.html" target="_blank">rubber writing utensil,</a> it will bend in crazy ways that are sure to confound him or her momentarily.
"I'm A Douche" Mug
It's the perfect office prank. It looks like a normal coffee mug -- except for the hidden <a href="http://www.vat19.com/dvds/im-a-douche-coffee-mug.cfm" target="_blank">"I'm A Douche"</a> message printed on the bottom. Don't tell your unsuspecting rube. Please? It's funny!
Gotcha Gadgets
Some studies suggest that America needs to increase interest in the sciences among kids. But how to do it? By showing them how science can be used to prank family and friends with <a href="http://www.creativekidstuff.com/klutz-gotcha-gadgets.html" target="_blank">Gotcha Gadgets.</a> Your kid made the remote control emit a farting sound? Annoying now, but not in 40 years when he or she collects a Nobel Prize.
Ghost Pepper Candy
The unsuspecting rube who tries <a href="http://www.vat19.com/dvds/ghost-pepper-candy-spicy-watermelon.cfm" target="_blank">these candies</a> won't be such a jolly rancher afterwards. At first, it seems like a sweet watermelon-flavored candy, but it soon gives way to the blistering taste of ghost pepper, one of the most incendiary peppers known to humans. Have a camera ready. Seriously.
Unfortunate Fortune Cookies
The fortune cookie is ubiquitous at Chinese restaurants. Funny fortune cookies are common as well. But <a href="http://www.vat19.com/dvds/search.cfm?q=Unfortunate+fortune+cookies&x=-241&y=-256" target="_blank">cookies with snarky comments bordering on insulting</a> are all too rare. Slip these in the bag the next time you get takeout and don't be surprised if someone wants to take YOU out.
Prank Packs
Everyone loves a gift and these boxes are worth the extra expense. Basically, <a href="http://www.vat19.com/dvds/prank-packs-empty-gift-boxes.cfm" target="_blank">these are boxes for fake, weird, non-existent products</a> and you put a real gift inside of them. The disappointment in the faces of the unsuspecting rubes will be hilarious.
Chocolate Soap
Kids: If you get in trouble for using bad words, this is the soap you want to be punished with. It looks like soap. It feels like soap. But it's <a href="http://www.niftycandy.com/weirdcandy.html" target="_blank">actually delicious chocolate.</a> Imagine the looks on the faces of your unsuspecting friends when you take a bite out of it.
Rattle Snake Eggs Gag
You can't take snakes on a plane, but you could try this novelty instead. Just wind up the washer, put in the envelope and wait for someone to open. That rattling noise will surely make anyone gripe like Samuel L. Jackson.
Woopsy Doopsy Gag
Tease the neat nuts in your life by leaving out these messy condiment wrappers. Well, my six-year-old son was fooled.
Telefork
Everyone knows that the food on someone else's plate is always more appetizing. But how to access it? I know, this Telefork stretches, allowing compulsive eaters access to do their dinner companion's plate.
Money Snatcher
Everybody wants to find money on the ground which is why the money snatcher is a classic prank. Attach a dollar to the device, set it on the ground and wait for the unsuspecting rube to snatch. That's when you pull it away, all the while squealing with laughter and delight.
Hurry Scurry Cockroach
People hate being pranked and they hate cockroaches. This wind-up toy allows you to press two buttons of annoyance at once. You don't have to thank me, but, hopefully, the exterminator who comes to your friend's house after they get fooled by this <a href="http://partyfunbox.com/collections/jokes-and-novelties/products/hurry-scurry-cockroach" target="_blank">wind-up bug</a> will give you a kickback.
Chattering Teeth Gag
The first set of wind-up <a href="http://partyfunbox.com/collections/jokes-and-novelties/products/chattering-teeth" target="_blank">chattering teeth</a> were invented in 1949 by Eddy Goldfarb. Now there are lots of variations, some with feet, some without.
Fake Vomit: A Look Back
"Whoops" was the first fake vomit to hit the market in 1959. Since then, fake vomit sales have been fairly steady as the product is discovered by each new generation.
Fake Vomit: A Look Back
According to fake vomit historians Stan and Mardi Timm, the idea for imitation upchuck came from an employee of famed game designer Marvin Glass, who was walking down the street saw somebody's vomit on the street, and he did a double-take when he realized it would make a great gag. Although Glass hated the idea, Irving Fishlove, of the Chicago-based novelty company H. Fishlove & Co., loved it and bought the idea.
Fake Vomit: A Look Back
Fake vomit is a fairly consistent product, although there are variations on color, texture and size. Stan Timm says today's product isn't as good as it used to be, but says sprinkling water on it improves the effect.
Fake Vomit: A Look Back
Fake vomit is still a consistent seller, but people like novelty products historian Kirk Demarais wonder if the industry can survive, especially since there aren't many bodily fluids left unimitated.
Bloody Magic Nail
Faking an injury is as American as French Fries and Dutch Apple Pie and this realistic looking<a href="http://www.windycitynovelties.com/214105p/bloody-nail-headband.html" target="_blank"> nail through the head</a> is sure to fool your boss when you explain why you can only work a half-day.
Magic Ink
It's a simple gag, perhaps the simplest. You go up to someone who is dressed fancy and spray them with this <a href="http://www.windycitynovelties.com/6306p/magic-ink.html" target="_blank">disappearing ink.</a> They get mad. You laugh. Then it disappears. Just like this slide will in 10 seconds. Tee hee.
Joy Buzzers
The <a href="http://www.windycitynovelties.com/gcssearch.aspx?w=buzzers" target="_blank">joy buzzer</a> was invented in 1928, but didn't really shock people, but the blunt end used to poke the unsuspecting rube did hurt a little. This is one prank that is better in theory than actual practice as it never delivers the bang promised in cartoon.
Plastic Ice Cubes With Spiders
<a href="http://www.windycitynovelties.com/11104p/bugs-in-a-plastic-ice-cube.html" target="_blank">Plastic ice cubes with bugs </a>are another prank idea that works better in theory than in reality. In the most basic scientific terms: plastic cubes feel nothing like real ice. For those unfamilar with ice, it is very cold and slippery. Plastic, while it can be cool to the touch, doesn't get cold enough to make this trick work.
Squirt Rings
These<a href="http://www.windycitynovelties.com/11249p/plastic-squirting-finger-ring.html" target="_blank"> plastic rings can be filled with any liquid</a> --please no acid -- and can be squirted at your victim. The ring designs give away this gag a mile away -- far beyond the distance that they shoot. However, they can still annoy even if the rube is not so unsuspecting.
Fart Bombs
It's a simple equation sure to lead to prank paradise: You throw a <a href="http://www.windycitynovelties.com/6268p/fart-bomb-bags.html" target="_blank">fart bomb.</a> It land and it stinks. Everyone's happy. Well, you're happy. The other people are really angry. Now's the time to run.
Potty Mouth
The <a href="http://www.potty-mouth.com/" target="_blank">Potty-mouth</a> is a humanitarian device wrapped in the guise of an annoying prank. It reminds everyone using the bathroom to put the toilet seat down after using it via a sensor attached to the toilet. I smell a Nobel Peace Prize in the future. Wait! I was wrong. It was just a fart bomb.

Rep. Peter King Compares North Korean Government to 'Organized Crime Family'
Below you can find some of the notable comments made Sunday on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." Political roundtable guests included former Newark Mayor Cory Booker, D-N.J.; Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y.; ABC News political analyst and special correspondent Matthew Dowd; ABC News senior Washington correspondent Jeff Zeleny; and editor and publisher of The Nation Katrina vanden Heuvel. Our special religion and politics roundtable included writer and religious scholar Reza Aslan; Rev. Calvin Butts, Pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York; author and atheist Susan Jacoby; Dr. Richard Land, of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission; and Sojourners president Rev. Jim Wallis, author of "On God's Side."
King describes North Korean government as 'organized crime family'
KING: As far as I see, this is not even government. It's more like an organized crime family running a territory. They are brutal, he is brutal, his father was brutal, his grandfather was brutal. I don't see any purpose at all in [direct talks with North Korea] at all. It would demoralize our allies in Asia, certainly in South Korea, and it would - to me - serve no constructive purpose whatsoever.
Vanden Heuvel on gay marriage: 'justice delayed is justice denied'
VANDEN HEUVEL: "Justice delayed is justice denied. But I think that the Supreme Court is lagging so far behind now that marriage equality has won in this country? It is moving in states, it is moving politically. And I think you've seen, perhaps, the most rapid mass evolution on an issue, among our politicos as well. They know where the future of this country is. It is also a qualifier to win a next generation."
So I think whatever happens in the court, and it may well be that Kennedy's - Justice Kennedy's consuming affection for state rights does lead to overruling DOMA, I think we are going to see a social, moral, and political paradigm shift that is extraordinary.
King supports President Obama's position on guns
KING: Let me say, I support the president's position on guns. So I'll say that. Having said that, it's going to be very difficult to get very meaningful legislation through the congress, because despite what [Mayor Booker] was saying? is that you get a majority of Americans who don't seem to want this type of legislation. And I support it. So I'm - I am again, supporting legislation on gun trafficking, on background checks, assault weapons, all of that. But I just don't see the intensity building up.
Vanden Heuvel states 'the Republican Party is a values challenged party'
VANDEN HEUVEL: If they don't go along with immigration. I mean, as you head into 2014, the Republican Party is a values challenged party. They have big problems on immigration, on same-sex marriage, on gun reform, commonsense gun reform. So I think this is going to be a test case
Land thinks immigration reform 'needs to be done'
LAND: "Immigration reform is tearing the social fabric of the country. It needs to be done. The lack of doing it is causing havoc that will be difficult to repair in the social fabric of the country. And there is a way to do it, and a way to do it that's fair, and a way to do it that will heal the country."

Among the stars scheduled to attend are Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, NASCAR driver Danica Patrick, gymnast John Orozco and Washington Wizards point guard John Wall.

LA police ID suspect in girl's abduction case
LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Police on Saturday released the name of a man suspected in the abduction of a 10-year-old girl who was snatched from her San Fernando Valley home before dawn last week and abandoned hours later in front of a hospital.
Tobias Dustin Summers, a 30-year-old man who was recently released from prison, was identified as a "child-kidnapping suspect," Los Angeles police said. Summers has a lengthy criminal record, having been arrested in the past for robbery, grand theft auto and kidnapping, according to authorities.
Dozens of detectives worked around the clock looking for clues since the girl was abducted from her home on Wednesday. She was found hours later, wandering near a Starbucks several miles from her home.
The girl was barefoot, scratched and not wearing the same clothes she had on when she vanished. She told the police two men she didn't recognize had taken her from her home.
Investigators have said they believe the girl was driven around the San Fernando Valley in a couple of cars and taken to at least two locations, including a storage facility, before she was released.
A passer-by who recognized her picture from media reports saw her outside the Starbucks and called police. The girl had wandered there from the hospital where she had been dropped.
