Samsung Game Pad pops up on Galaxy S4 site outs Note 3

The gaming controller works with devices up to 6.3 inches, perhaps suggesting Samsung is planning a bigger phablet, or should we be calling it a "tabone?"

During its bizarre unveiling of the Galaxy S4, there were a few accessories that Samsung didn't get to spend much time on. For example, some reporters later stumbled upon a wireless charging feature, and a prototype of a nifty gaming controller that docks with some Galaxy devices while pairing via Bluetooth has also popped up.

The controller is dubbed simply the "Game Pad" and looks an awful lot like it came off of an Xbox 360. Samsung says it is capable of one-touch Bluetooth pairing via Samsung's funky NFC Tectile system, which works with the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S2 as well, among others. It also functions as a remote control for use with your bigger screens at home.

What's perhaps most interesting about this fairly standard little controller, however, is one little note that's currently on the Game Pad page on Samsung's Galaxy S4 microsite. It notes "4"~6.3" screen size available," which is curious because Samsung's biggest phone at the moment is the Note 2 with a screen size of 5.5 inches.

That is food for speculation right there. Is Samsung planning an even larger phablet? Will the Note 3 be a whopping 6.3 inches? And if so, will it throw the world of pants pocket design into utter chaos?

At that size it's really becoming more tablet than phone, right? Which means it's really more accurate to call it a "tabone." I know what you're thinking, but does it really sound more weird than "phablet?"

Let's just embrace it. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to be the first to declare that I believe Samsung's new Game Pad has just outed the world's first tabone.

Soon enough, it'll just be rolling off our tongues. You'll see.

Greek footballer handed life ban for Nazi salute after scoring winning goal

ATHENS (GREECE): AEK Athens midfielder Giorgos Katidis has been banned from any Greek national team for life after giving a Nazi salute while celebrating a goal in the Greek league.

Greece's football federation said Sunday in a statement that the player's gesture "is a deep insult to all victims of Nazi brutality".

The 20-year-old Katidis gave a Nazi salute after scoring the winner in AEK's 2-1 victory over Veria on Saturday. His action provoked an immediate and overwhelmingly negative response on social media. Katidis apologized on TV and Twitter, pleading ignorance about the meaning of the salute.

AEK and the Greek league are also considering separate sanctions. AEK could also be penalized.

Hardcore AEK fans have issued a statement demanding Katidis' dismissal from the team.

Katidis has played for Greek junior teams.

Inmates blame booze for crimes sue beer companies

Five inmates in Idaho are suing several beer companies, claiming the companies didn't warn them alcohol could be addictive and they never would have ended up in jail if it wasn't for alcohol.

Inmate Keith Allen Brown filed the suit, which seeks a total of $1 billion in compensatory and punitive damages from 10 major beer and wine companies, in December, according to The Associated Press. His co-plaintiffs are Jeremy Joseph Brown, Cory Alan Baugh, Woodrow John Grant and Steven Todd Thompson.

Brown wrote in the suit he spent a "great deal of time in prison" due to "situations in which alcohol played a major role,” and that he was never "informed that alcohol was habit forming and addictive” before he became an alcoholic, according to the Idaho Statesman.

The lawsuit also states the inmates "would have lead normal lives as productive members of society" if it wasn't for alcohol, according to the AP.

The companies, which include Miller Brewing Company, Anheuser-Busch Co., Adolph Coors Co. and others, have not yet responded to the lawsuit, according to the Idaho Statesman.
