Make Your Own Cronuts!
Cronuts have taken over New York City (and the internet) in a big way. The hybrid croissant-doughnuts are only available at one bakery, and when they're gone madness ensues.

Massive Supply of Classic Atari Games to Be Excavated From Landfill
Legend has it that 30 years ago Atari buried a massive cache of video game cartridges in a landfill in New Mexico.
