- BusinessWeek: New Gear from Apple and Verizon Wireless? #
- "One device is a smaller, less expensive calling device described by a person who has seen it as an 'iPhone lite.' The other is a media pad that would let users listen to music, view photos, and watch high-definition videos, the person says. It would place calls over a Wi-Fi connection." The media pad certainly sounds interesting. But of course, it will have to play second fiddle to the ZunePhone!
- Office 2010: Shield Your Eyes #
- Only a beta, but eep. Commentary by Steven Frank and some guy with a typewriter.
- Flickr Hit Hard By Yahoo Layoffs #
- I don't know nearly enough to say - on the face of it, this seems foolish for Yahoo. But maybe Flickr really is overstaffed? And you can't hold onto the original stars forever. After a few years they're going to run off to some other next big thing.
- Official White House Photostream #
- Two three four.
- Vimeo: Honda Insight - Let It Shine #
- Maximise your browser, but don't full screen the video. Also? Turn your lights off.

- I hate Nickelback so much. This is joyous.
- PA: Further Songs Of Sorcelation #
- I might have linked this before? Great series though. I no longer read Penny Arcade (sniff!) but I still hold them in high esteem.
- Twitpic: Can You Make That Shirt a Bit Tighter? #
- Eventually, the answer was: No.
- Twitpic: The Benefits of a Short Car #
- Ha, classic.
- Microsoft Posts First Ever Drop in Quarterly Revenue #
- First ever? Wow. They are a money-making machine. Well, were - that's quite a substantial drop. Bad omens?
- CG House, Curved Glass Tables #
- Not bad, not bad at all.
- NYT: Oracle Buys Sun #
- Well, that's something.
- CG House, Trees #
- Flippin' Heck. That's bloody amazing, and also? I would like to live in that house.
- How to Tell an Iranian Sniper From a Wookiee #
- I'm having a lot of trouble taking that picture seriously. Do they hug you to death?
- BBC: Court Jails Pirate Bay Founders #
- I admit to being very thin on details here, but the harsh punishments seem surprising given they were just enablers, not direct perpetrators.
- Abisko Washbasin #
- I'm not convinced about this aye.
- msn.co.nz Hacked #
- It sucks to be unpopular.
- Herald: Trial Told of Escort's Deadly Rage #
- "A jealous prostitute killed her lover in a 'deliberate and brutal' knife attack after he admitted cheating on her with other escorts, a court has heard." Well, that's fucked up.

- I have to say, I'm tempted.
- 40+ Stylish & Creative Hand-Picked Wallpapers #
- There's some beauties in here.
- BBH Staff Vote for Unpaid Leave Over Redundancies #
- I am all about taking leave. Paid, unpaid, professional development, I don't care. Leave is awesome. I'm surprised this was even put to the vote - indeed, only 0.5% disagreed. (And I think we all know someone who would be in that 0.5%.)
- Spreadtweet #
- A Twitter client that looks like a spreadsheet, for those iron-fisted workplaces.

- In case you missed it. It gave rise to a great line.

- Quitting the Paint Factory, by Mark Slouka #
- Another incredible find by Stew. I aspire to one day write this well.
- YouTube: Tom Gerrard - 30+ Years as Principal #
- My old principal. In case you can't tell, he's one hell of a conservative. But the school doesn't produce fuck-ups like Bill O'Reilly because it doesn't matter if you're conservative or liberal, it matters if you're genuine, hard-working and thoughtful. (Having said that, a few more olive branches wouldn't go astray.)
- Pirates and the CIA: What would Thomas Jefferson have done? #
- Heh, until I read this I too had the woefully lame idea to send in the navy and fuck them up!

- Surprise hailstorm yesterday. You know what they say.

- Huge blaze at an adult store in Newmarket. Arson?
- Stuff: Playmate Struggles With Normal Life #
- "Hugh [Hefner], who was also joined by his new partners Crystal Harris and twins Karissa Shannon and Kristina Shannon..." I'm sure they have wonderful personalities. I think the appropriate response here is to be jealous, but honestly, it just cracks me up.
- Jenny McCarthy Body Count #
- Interesting. I have to admit to a certain distaste for people who eschew scientific evidence for this really strong gut feeling they have. Aye? You should be awarded the Nobel Prize for I'm So Sure.
- The Netscape Phenomenon: Smaller Than You Think #
- That is one surprising graph.
- YouTube: Seinfeld - The Soup Nazi #
- I really should get around to watching this show someday.
- Alien vs. Predator Ads Better Than Actual Movie #
- And they are... the last one is exquisite.

- I think my favourite bit- no, actually the whole thing is my favourite bit.
- Irresponsibility #
- Snap.
- Skype for iPhone: 1,000,000 Downloads in 2 Days #

- Years of abuse are finally over. It's time to stand up and tell them what we really think.
- Tesla Model S Electric Sedan #
- I suppose that, at the end of the day, I want the Roadster so much more. But I want this too. So yeah, Easter's coming up. Is all I'm saying.
