Gates was arrested back in the ’70s. Bill, he’s just like us!

OK, are you sitting down?

No, don't JUMP over the chair, Bill, sit your ass down.

First thing: Bill Gates has been arrested twice, once in 1975 and again in 1977.

The first time, in 1975, he was driving without a license and speeding, and in 1977 he was arrested again for driving without a license and not stopping at a stop sign.

The fact that he's smiling, combined with that floral collared shit is kind of amazing, right?

Second thing: The outline of Gates' mugshot is thought to have inspired the photo outline on various Microsoft applications.

DO YOU SEE IT?!

Ars Technica first noticed the resemblance of the mugshot to the outline, and they have made the world a better place for it.

Nike continues to dress as many models as they can in the Yeezy colorway, this time draping the Nike SB Dunk High in a Yeezy 2-esque color scheme. The black and anthracite upper sits atop a crystal mint sole, and features hyper pink detailing on the heel tab, tongue and lining. There is one noteworthy difference however, as the upper sports a starry night print on the heel and nike swoosh (perhaps glow in the dark?). These will drop the day after Black Friday aka Saturday, November 29th. Check out a few more images below and let us know if you’re still digging the Kanye inspired colorways.

After giving you a preview earlier this month, we bring you another look at the PUMA “Green Box” pack with official images of each style from the collection. Inspired by the original Trinomic PUMA box, the vintage running silhouettes are dressed in Pantone’s classic green to give you that nice, throwback feeling. First up is the XS850. Having gained popularity in good old ’92, it uses PUMA’s revolutionary trinomic-cushioned technology and features nylon uppers, leather overlays and a cool honeycomb graphic on the heel. Next up is the Blaze of Glory, which has air mesh uppers with soft nubuck overlays. The R698 holds nylon uppers with nubuck overlays and is finished with green piping. Finally, the XT2 is fashioned with lightweight textile uppers and white full-grain leather formstrips. The “Green Box” pack drops Friday, October 31 at premium PUMA retailers worldwide.

Manny the Frenchie, an adorable French Bulldog known for his conversational skills, tries to teach his brother Frank how to speak the same way he does, but to no avail. Manny shouldn’t feel too offended however, as it seems that Frank has a history of losing focus whenever anyone speaks to him.

The West Midlands Police in Birmingham, England have posted thermal-imaging video of a partygoer shining a laser pointer directly at a department helicopter. Over the course of the video, the officers pinpoint the origin of the light, locate, and apprehend the suspect.

Their bravado was abruptly punctured when colleagues on the ground – directed to the group from above – gate-crashed the party and arrested the 23-year-old shop worker on suspicion of ‘acting reckless in a manner likely to endanger an aircraft.

The department has a strong social media presence, including actively commenting on responses to the videos it posts on YouTube.

Photographer Arlene Gottfried has been a longtime resident of New York City and has since captured its gritty likeness in beautiful black and white. Mildly NSFW, as much of New York in the ’70s was.

Since the early 1970s, Arlene Gottfried has confronted the faces and landscapes of New York City with her unique photo perspective. What she's gathered is a historical look into the city's unique diversity and ever-changing culture. Sometimes Overwhelming, Gottfried's first solo exhibition at Daniel Cooney Gallery, will be on view in New York City from Nov. 6 to Dec. 20, 2014.

To poke fun at competing airlines, Virgin America has created a bizarre, nearly six-hour-long video depicting a cross-country flight aboard an imaginary competitor, “BLAH Airlines.” In the video, the plane is populated with creepy slack-jawed mannequins. As the (incredibly boring) hours pass, the passengers endure a series of typical air travel annoyances, from misbehaving children to boring in-flight entertainment. The video was produced by San Francisco ad agency Eleven.

While our preview of Nike’s Air Max 90 “Winter” Pack featured a range of colorways for your choosing, it didn’t include this Teal/Grey/Volt Nike Air Max 90 Winter PRM. A reasonable alternative to the full-on, winterized Nike SneakerBoot Collection for Holiday 2014, this mid-height option maintains many the pieces we love from the classic runner, while also throwing in some reinforcement from the elements in the form of durable suede and synthetic materials across the upper along with a high-traction outsole underfoot. The look is also easy on the eyes, with Volt taking care of the Swoosh, which also plays nicely with the Teal and Grey mix across the upper. Continue after the jump to see more of this upcoming drop, which should be hitting stores in the coming months.
