Ikea, the Swedish dorm-room furnisher, is getting into the electronics business.

Its “Uppleva” line of flat-screen TVs is set to hit the European market this summer, TechCrunch reports, with a wider release planned for next year. The TVs will have a 1080p display, a 400Hz response time, and a remote with a hidden number pad. They will also take ten hours to assemble with an Allen wrench, and will last six months before they fall apart and need replacing.

Today in the New York Times: One guy’s embarrassing Facebook ad saga hits the front page

Meet Nick Bergus. He’s a pretty cool guy who once linked to an odd product on Facebook as a bit of a joke — a 55-gallon barrel of lube from Amazon.com. Ha ha, funny, right? But the joke was on him, as Facebook’s algorithms started featuring his smiling face in personalized ads featuring the giant barrel of lube. From there, his story spread — first to his personal blog, then to Gawker, with an amazing headline. Now, Bergus’ somewhat embarrassing (but admittedly kind of awesome) tale is on the front page of the New York Times. All because he once linked to a giant barrel of lube.
