    Project Spartan: Facebook's Plan To Bypass Apple

    Humans thinki think Facebook is purer evil than Apple. It is like comparing Diablo and Bhaal of course but still... I have to agree. I've never been a big fan of Apple, but Facebook/Zuckerberg have openly been worse than anything Jobs has ever done. Paraphrasing from previous Zuckerberg...

    Mozilla Exposed 44,000 Passwords

    It seemed like the personal information about Honda's accounts for 2.2 million people was more newsworthy than the 44,000 passwords from an old database of inactive users for Mozilla. I like how it was just thrown in there as a "P.S."

    TDK Releasing 100GB BDXL Disc Soon

    2x write speed when CD-Rs came out took like 2 hours for what... 700MB? At 2x and 4x write speeds, how long would it take to write 100GB of data onto this disc?

    YEE Dual-Mode Car Navigates Roads and the Air

    Smart people show you how to make it fly. Geniuses show you how make it LAND. Great job putting the wheels IN the wings so you can't use both at the same time. I guess you could just transition the wings on your descent and become a flying brick. You might just need nahdogg's "cupholder...

    The Kitesurfer From the Future

    People are barely able to control their cars and they're only able to travel in two dimensions. Please don't allow those same people to lift off. If Driver's Ed hasn't helped them thus far, then pilot training will likely do very little for them as well.

    New Yahoo! Ad Slams Google for Being Too Bare

    I doubt Google will even take the time to prove this theory wrong. The market forces will continue to do it for them.

    WB Expands DVD to Blu-ray Upgrade Program

    Jane McEntegartIn case you're wondering, the disks and packaging sent to WB are processed and used for future packaging. Just a minor correction for folks who might be interested, this program does not require you to mail in the packaging of the old movies; all you need is the old DVD. Also...

    A Wristband Battery For Your Portables

    asiaprimeI would've liked if it had a watch to the face of it. at least it can hide it's a battery. especially since it's power ranger sized. Thought the same thing. This will be a great product until we hear: "girl loses hand due to exploding wrist battery."

    LG Dispay LCDs May Be Banned Worldwide

    montezumaWhen is the U.S. Government going to step in and stop all this patient trolling? From what I read here in the article (putting a ton of faith in Kevin's journalism skills on this one), it sounded as if LG is the one who initially started the lawsuit claiming patent infringement on the...

    BlackBerry Tablet Arriving in 2011?

    azcoyoteBlackboard Clever name for it, in my opinion. I wish MS would quit getting so bubbly on their interfaces to try and compete with Apple. I'm running Win7 and it looks like Windows XP and Snow Leopard had a baby.

    Headphones Concept Matches Visuals With Music

    This looks like it will just fall into the lame "bling" category. I can't imagine how many headaches this will cause when all the kids start wearing them in public places. Rainbow strobe lights everywhere you go!

    BitTorrent CEO: Broadband Has No Regulator

    I thought the whole idea of net neutrality was that all types of data received the same level of priority across the internet. There's no pulling over to let the ambulance go by.
