Friday's aren't the same without Friday

It's gone!
Goooooooooooooooooooooone!!
Is there anything else I can say?!

Justin Beiber MUST live on; beyond humanity

And this video attempts to keep humanity's legacy (Justin Beiber's music) safe for billions of years.

What if a stranger comes up to you and "follows" you [twitter]

Can I write on your wall? No, literally, your wall.

So........ No one at Google checked if the name of their products were already trademarked?

Now Google's getting sued over the name of their OS and Notebooks (because GOD FORBID they used an element as a name)

As an owner of an "Epic" 4G, I can rightfully say EPIC FAIL Google, as well as the company suing them.

I still don't understand why names of things can be trademarked. Doesn't it matter what quality the product is, and not the actual name?

I don't know, it could just be me.....

Anyways, if you want to go more into detail about this:

Happy Late Birthday Les Paul!

This is the coolest doodle EVER! (Besides Pacman. You can't beat Pacman.....)

Anyways, someone actually played "Happy Birthday" on it here: http://www.google.com/webhp?tune=IAQIxBGgFMaIKQIxBGnJAaIqQITCGgDMGMMJ0SQTEIOOQc5VzDmA

And best of all, Google is keeping it up for another day :D Enjoy!

"Hey Mom" "How was your day?" "I tattooed all my friends to my arm!"

She what!?!
Yes, A woman actually did this; but only as a temporary tattoo!

.......As Techcrunch said:
Imagine the pain of defriending someone (if it were real of course!)

The Wii is a real console now?! The all new Wii U!

Get ready for some Kinect competition! (Because we all know the Playstation Move is pretty much a complete copy of the original Wii)

Oooooooo. I'm REAL scared: Webian OS

Gizmodo claimed this is a threat to Chrome OS. REALLY.

Enough Said.

Hey French! GENIUS idea! Put solar panels in space otherwise wasted! Who knew!

How come no one ever thought of this before? Seriously. Well done French........ Well done.

Chromebook Update! The Screen

Just a quick update, the screen hinges are becoming a bit loose, not so much that it is a threat to the computer's functionality or look, but it worries me. I've heard that this is common on CR48's, a true sign of excessive use of the device (a true tester!)

Just wanted to share!
