    Review: GelaSkins for iPad

    Short Version: GelaSkins for iPad do everything they promise, and they do it well. For 30 bucks a pop, it'll wrap your iPad up in a work of art -- be it one of GelaSkin's roughly 200 pre-designed pieces, or one of your own. It also does a fine job of protecting the back of the iPad from whatever grit and grime might be sitting between it and your desk.

    Samsung already working on a Galaxy S Pro, complete with physical keyboard?

    Sometime yesterday afternoon, some new information started floating around the Kingdom of Ol’ Rumorton. “The Samsung Galaxy S… another version is coming,” whispered the trees of Rumorton, “and it’s called the Galaxy S Pro! And it has a physical keyboard!” The rumors were in a bit too shaky of a state yesterday for us to cover [...]

    XFX “gunning” for Nvidia with the ATI HD 5970

    Well, it looks like XFX packaging is going to be a little more secure then the stuff that Amazon uses. You'll have to be careful leaving the store with this stuff, XFX appears to be packaging their version of the ATI HD 5970 in a replica of a H&K P90. Catchy, but hopefully they don't lose any customers to gunfire.

    New packaging concept helps lazy shoppers find fresh produce

    Don't you hate standing in the supermarket, with all those people standing around you, peering in your cart and passing judgement over your purchases? You can code a beautiful, standards compliant cross-browser compatible website in your sleep, but you're stymied by which head of lettuce is the freshest. Technology is here to help you, comrade: as time passes, the barcode on the packaging slowly fades.

    Video: This is easily the coolest thing I’ve seen an iPhone do this week.

    You hear that sound? That's the sound of my mind being blown. When the folks over in Cupertino strapped a little speaker to the bottom of the iPhone and released an SDK, do you think that any of them thought "Oh, people are totally going to use this to make apps that can push little Styrofoam balls around a fake soccer field." Yeah, probably not. But sure enough, people have.

The man is taking his show on the road, bringing the funny to a city near you in the coming weeks!

    TNA Wrestling can trend on Twitter just fine, but can it draw actual TV ratings? (No.)

    We're all well aware that Twitter represents man's best chance of Redemption. No one's disputing that. What is in dispute today is just how representative Twitter is of The Real World. Case in point: TNA Wrestling made its long awaited move to Monday nights this week, and all throughout the night "TNA" was a trending topic on Twitter. We've been led to believe that anything that trends on Twitter is hugely important, not merely in the cozy confines of the Twitterverse, but all over Planet Earth. Explain this, then: the show only drew a 0.98 rating (it rounds up to a 1.0). I thought Twitter = ratings?
