Celebrities in the video are all hip hop and sports stars, including Usher, Eminem, Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dogg and David Beckham. Terrorism expert Neil Doyle is quoted as saying: "There's no question — this video is setting sports stars up as potential targets. Choosing their words carefully, using double meanings and veiled threats, the people behind it are trying to stay within the realms of the law."

New Camera Phone Shoots Video At 120 FPS

A new LG camera phone has a nice lineup of features, but one in particular is, basically, insane: It shoots video at 120 FRAMES PER SECOND. Movies -- you know, the the ones you watch at the movie theater -- are typically shot at 24 fps, TV at either 30 or 60 fps. Speeds like 120 fps are usually reserved for super slow-mo filming. The phone sports a 5-megapixel camera, image stabilization, auto focus and uploads to YouTube with a push of a button.
