Someone has a case of the Fridays! Let’s check out everything that’s going on this week in the world or sci-tech gadgetry and mayhem!

--Breaking news (as of yesterday): Target is going to start selling Amazon.com’s Kindle! If you’ve ever been curious about the e-reader, this is your chance to get your hands on it and try it before smacking down the big bucks.

--NASA announced some spectactular new satellite images of the sun. Scary stuff.

--Microsoft’s Windows 7 is doing some great things sales-wise!

--Want a new touch-screen phone but unsure of what to get? Here’s a review pitting the iPhone against the much-hyped HTC Incredible.

--Speaking of the iPhone … here is a funny story on the new prototype of the iPhone 4G. Apparently, there was a huge leak of information and even photos, but Apple’s mediocre reaction has diffused most of the speculation … which wasn’t that big in the first place. Like I said, it’s a pretty funny situation : - )

--Hehehe Here’s more on the prototype iPhone. Apparently Gizmodo paid $5,000 to acquire the model, but decided to return it to Apple, thus confirming it was a leak.

--Want to watch the 2010 NFL Draft but can’t because of that pesky job of yours? You can watch it online and get updates sent to your cell – here’s how.

--Awww! Who says geeks don’t understand romance? This story is so sticky sweet it’s almost too much! And, PS – I love Back to the Future!!

--It’s official: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 had the best launch in video-game history. I’ve heard some amazing things but have yet to see it in person. I’m just not a FPS kinda girl.

--Barnes and Noble has released a big update for the Nook. Gee, wonder what I’ll be getting my mom for her birthday?? : - )

OK, I’m tapped out for the week. Is it quittin’ time yet on this gorgeous spring Friday? Just a few more hours and we’re all free to enjoy the weekend! See you back here Monday ….

Yawn … happy Monday morning everyone. My weekend was full of ‘Art,’ delicious food and gardening. But, my arms now feel like rubber hoses reminiscent of Harry Potter’s Prof. Lockhart debacle, so typing is about all I can manage at the moment.

Let’s take a look at the day’s headlines before my fingers wear out, too.

PS – I totally crit all the useless, ugly plants from in front of my house, so at least it was a ‘mission accomplished’ kind of effort.

--I’m absolutely bouncing off the jigsaw-puzzle walls of my cubicle this week in preparation for PAX EAST! Please keep those questions coming for G4’s Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb, and I’ll try to ask as many as possible. ByteSized@Captivate.com

--Looking to enjoy March Madness on something more massive than your silly little 42” wall-mounted LCD? Try these TVs on for size.

--Speaking of which, Captivate has a gallery of the best March Madness photos up live now!

--Apple has had it’s issues over the years – here’s a nostalgic look back. Why? I don’t know, blame CNet.

--Let’s get ready to rumble: In one corner, Kindle! In the other, Nook! Ding ding ding!

--OK, I know I’m totally supposed to fill out my Census form. I get that. But I also don’t see why they need more information than the ages of number of the people living in my house. Everything seems completely unnecessary, and I’m glad some people agree.

K, now my fingers are getting tired, too, so I’m going to go massage them and rest up so I’m in top form this Friday! Talk to you all laters!
