Smattering of top stories!
Friday, May 15, 2009 by Amber
Good afternoon everyone! I've got some great headlines for you today on this beautiful Friday, so let's get right to it:
Our friends at PopSci asked a string theorist if warp speed (a la 'Star Trek') is actually possible...
Ever wonder what would happen if an iPod and a Kindle mated? Well, not anymore! A new e-reader is making HUGE waves online -- it's called the Cool-er, and it comes in some great colors. Hopefully, we can get in a review copy to take a look at soon! With a price like that, it's hard not to be totally intrigued!
Whoa, calm down everyone -- Google is finally admitting to some service errors that set the web on fire yesterday.
Lookng to get away form Twitter? Good luck -- since now, not even the vacuum of space is free from 'tweets.'
OK, now let's lighten things up a bit with Play Him Off, Keyboard Cat! -- some funny videos apparently taking the web by storm. It's about a cat playing an ear-worm-worthy song with funny clips of unexpected uncomfortableness. So funny ... we recommend the kid on the slide, the Chuck Norris on and the Sign Guy one.
Finally a viable and awesome option for you iPod users out there who hiz-ate the white earbuds as much as I do: How about matching them to the color of your iPod Nano 4G? Awesome, thanks to TruTunes!
Not to worry -- video game sales are down again, but IMHO that's only because all the cool games are being postponed. Again.
Have a great weekend, and keep your fingers crossed that we'll get a chance to look at the Cool-er!
