Apple is apparently in something of a rush to push iOS 9.1 out the door, because it just released a brand new beta less than a week after the last one was pushed out to developers. The new iOS 9.1 beta 5 build is listed as a bug fix release, and it should be nearing completion ahead of iOS 9.1’s imminent release to the general public. For now, however, it’s only available to iOS developers — or anyone out there with access to public betas — as an over the air (OTA) update, or as a download through iTunes.

Believe it or not, people with expensive sports cars like to show off. Shocking, we know. Supercars have always been the tool of choice for wealthy people who like to flaunt their success, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with showing off if you want. At the same time, it’s always fun to point and laugh when over the top vanity backfires and things go awry.

We’ve seen plenty of videos where luxury sports cars have proven to be too much car for a particular driver, who ends up spinning out or even crashing a million-dollar supercar while trying to show off in a parking lot. Now, it’s time to enjoy a video of a Lamborghini bursting into flames as its driver revs his engine for a selfie being taken by the Ferrari driver in front of him.

That’s right, apparently no one told this guy that revving your engine doesn’t translate very well in a still photo.

FEATURED — Funniest Amazon product reviews you’ve ever seen

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

With hundreds of millions of items for sale, from electronics and books to pet supplies and diapers, Amazon is unquestionably the largest online retailer on the planet. In fact, Amazon, from a market cap perspective, is even larger today than Walmart.

One of the reasons why Amazon is such a popular online destination is that many products are accompanied by hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of product reviews from everyday consumers who can speak with first-hand authority to the merits of whatever item is being considered. As a result, consumers are able to make more informed shopping decisions and steer clear of items they might ultimately regret purchasing. Of course, with the Internet being what it is, Amazon’s vast library of product reviews are also filled with a good number of sarcastic, biting, clever, and downright hilarious responses. Some even speculate that these reviews may be responsible for Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos’ distinctive laugh.

So without further ado, listed below are some of the best and funniest Amazon product reviews we could find. Buckle up, these are pretty golden.
