Former Google China President Reveals Info for Apple Tablet


Apple is set to hold an event on January 26, 2010, presumably to reveal a Apple tablet gadget (not the picture above) of sorts. Apparently, the former Google China president, Kaifu Lee, has seen the thing and commented on it.

"The Apple Tablet looks like a bigger iPhone that sports an awesome UI packed in a beautiful 10.1-inch screen. The tablet combines the functions of both netbook and kindle, an ebook reader. It has virtual keyboard for text entry and a webcam for video conferencing." (translated)
Yea, hold off on buying that Macbook if a tablet would make your life better. [AppleInsider]

Rumors: Google to Sell Unlocked Nexus One for $530, $180 W/2-Year T-Mobile Contract


Rumors say that Google will sell the Nexus One (aka Google phone) for $530 unlocked. A cheaper version is available at $180, but will require a 2-year T-Mobile contract. Here's the round up of other rumors regarding the phone:
  • Existing T-Mo customers can’t keep their current plan if they want a subsidized phone.
  • The subsidized price only works on accounts with single lines. Family plans, Flexpay, SmartAccess and KidConnect plans must buy the phone at the full $530 unlocked price.
  • You can onliy buy five Nexus Ones per Google account.
  • Looks like it can be shipped outside the U.S.
  • It’ll be sold at google.com/phone.
  • And if you buy the Nexus One at the subsidized price and cancel before 120 days have passed, you have to pay the difference — $350 — or return the phone to Google.

Tits, Boobies & Pussy Lovers


Two apps have hit the iTunes App store for the iPhone and iPod Touch. One is called Tits & Boobies and the other is Pussy Lovers. (Allllllll Riiiiighhht) (Giggidy Giggidy, Giggidy Goo!) Yea, it's not what your dirty mind thinks it is. GET THAT THOUGHT OUT OF YOUR HEAD, PERV!


The apps let you check out pictures of birds and cats "as God intended to be viewed in their real forms." Not sure exactly how the names got approved by apple, but it's definitely a good trick by the app makers to entice downloads.

Report: Brett Favre Refused to be Benched Last Night


Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports says that Brett Favre was told by Vikings' head coach Brad Childress that he would be benched for the 3rd quarter of last night's loss to the Carolina Panthers. Favre refused and stayed in the game.

“Yeah, there was a heated discussion, I guess you would call it,” Favre told reporters afterwards. “We were up 7-6 at the time. No secret, I was getting hit a little bit. I felt the pressure on a lot of plays. We had seven points. So I think everyone in the building was like, ‘They’re not moving the ball, they’re not getting points.’ Brad wanted to go in a different direction and I wanted to stay in the game.”

Google Phone is a Go (aka Nexus One)


At first it was just a rumor. Then people came out saying they've heard all about it. Now Google is handing it out to employees! Apparently the phone will be available directly from Google. It will be made my HTC and will be called Nexus One.

Here's the rundown of what is known so far:

• The Wall Street Journal says it's made by HTC and called the Nexus One. It'll be sold online, directly by Google. You'll have to get your own cell service (which suggests it's an unlocked device). Curiously, the WSJ says, "unlike the more than half-dozen Android phones made by phone manufacturers today, Google designed virtually the entire software experience behind the phone." Sounds weird, since they designed the look and feel of the software on the Droid and G1 too, except that our source had told us before that the current Android we know isn't the "real" Android. Also odd sounding: that name, Nexus One. But maybe not that odd.

• Google confirmed they handed out "a device that combines innovative hardware from a partner with software that runs on Android to experiment with new mobile features and capabilities and we shared this device with Google employees across the globe."

• A bunch of Google employees tweeted stuff like the phone is "like an iPhone on beautifying steroids."

• It's supposedly an unlocked GSM phone running Android 2.1, powered by the crazyfast Snapdragon processor, with an OLED touchscreen (no keyboard), dual mics (for killing background noise), and enhanced voice-to-text powers. It's gonna be alllll Google branding. And it's probably coming out in January. Which jives with what our source saw a couple weeks ago, a huge screen running a brand new version of Android unlike anything out there.

• We heard it was referred to, at least in some capacity in the staff meeting where they were handed out, as the "Passion."


Yea! that's a lot of awesomeness for a phone that people thought didn't exist. Unlocked and open sounds just like Google's style. NOW, the iPhone might have some competition...[Gizmodo]

Here are some more pictures to drool over (click the picture for Engadget's gallery):

The North Face Files Lawsuit Against Parody



ST. LOUIS (AP) -- The North Face Apparel Corp. is suing a small suburban St. Louis-area company called The South Butt and the teenager who started it.

The lawsuit filed last week in federal court in St. Louis seeks unspecified damages and asks the court to prohibit The South Butt from marketing and selling its parody product line.

The North Face says it does not comment on pending litigation.

The South Butt's attorney, Albert Watkins, says the company was started by 18-year-old Jimmy Winkelmann to help pay for college. It puts out products with the tag line "Never Stop Relaxing," a parody of The North Face line, "Never Stop Exploring."

The parody company sells T-shirts, fleece jackets and sweatshirts on its Web site.


Thank you North Face for being complete douchebags and suing a kid who is making some money (probably just pennies) to pay for college by selling clothes that make fun of your overpriced brand. Jerks. [SouthButt, NorthFace]

Police say a man broke into rapper Nelly's house in suburban St. Louis and stole electronics and video games.

Authorities say the Grammy-winning artist was not home when during the robbery early Friday morning.

St. Louis County police spokesman Rick Eckhard says a man used a window to get in and out of Nelly's home. He said three people were inside the house at the time and one confronted the intruder.

Eckhard says the man was able to get away with a duffel bag of electronics, a video game system and video games.

No one is in custody.

AT&T Launches Mark the Spot App for iPhones


AT&T launched an app to help get feedback on dropped calls for the iPhone. It gives users the ability to send information back to AT&T about dropped calls and gaps in coverage. In their statement:

AT&T is committed to providing its customers with the best network experience possible.

This application will help contribute towards this goal and its utilization is greatly appreciated.


It's something, so I guess it's better than nothing. But I have a question, if you aren't getting any service, how are you suppose to send feedback to AT&T. Heck, right now I can barely get service to download the app! Also, looking at the picture above, the app tells you to call customer service i at 611 if you need help. AT&T customers know that calling customer service is the biggest pain in the ass about AT&T. I'd almost rather live with the problem than call those know-nothing-jerk-offs.

Google is launching a way for customers to check out stores and restaurants on their mobile phones.

Mobile phone users can then scan that code using various apps across multiple phones (including iPhone, Blackberry and of course, Android) to get information about what the store sells, how much it cost and other information. Here's a video to show you how it works.



I like how they use iPhones in their ads still, even though there are plenty of new Android phones. [Google Favorite Places]

BrewDog Beer Introduces World's Strongest Beer


BrewDog Beer, UK's leader in brewing, introduced the world's strongest beer. The brew is 32% alcohol/volume. The beer, appropriately named Tactical Nuclear Penguin sells for £35 a bottle in the UK. BrewDog describes the beer as a "double cask matured uber-imperial stout."They ship internationally as well. Heck, if you're willing to pay £35 for a bottle, I'm sure you can afford the shipping. The label reads:

This is an extremely strong beer; it should be enjoyed in small servings and with an air of aristocratic nonchalance. In exactly the same manner that you would enjoy a fine whisky, a Frank Zappa album or a visit from a friendly yet anxious ghost.


It's available for purchase on their website. [BrewDog]

Chicago's Rick Morrissey Eats His Own Words



Two years ago, the Chicago Bulls drafted Joakim Noah from Florida. Noah was never an offensive powerhouse in college, but in fact was usually a liability on that end of the floor. But on defense he was a good enough defender to help his team get, not just one, but two national titles.

After the Bulls drafted him, Chicago Tribune's sports writer, Rick Morrissey called out the Bulls for making a crappy draft move and wrote that Noah would turn into another wasted draft pick. Going as far as saying he'd eat his printed column if he was wrong. Quite confident.

Unfortunately (fortunately if you're a Bulls fan), Noah turned out pretty well. He's averaging a double-double. As promised, Morrissey at his words...literally.

A Day I Will Remember Forever


This morning was bad, and by morning I mean afternoon (since that's when I usually wake up when I work nights). I'm kind of sick...congestion, runny nose, just don't feel like doing anything. But I know the Yankees are playing game 6 of the World Series, up 3 games to 2. Pettitte on the mound facing off against Pedro. Yea, that's what made me get up this morning.

I'm still slightly annoyed that the Yanks didn't finish off the Phillies in game 5. They came back but just came up short (ugh Jeter, why did you have to hit into the double play in the 9th!). See, the Denver Nuggets are playing the NJ Nets at the IZOD Center, and while I'm not a fan of either team, it would be cool to watch Carmelo Anthony go off on the Nets (he was okay, 22/4/1). So if the Yanks had won game 5, I would have gotten a chance to make it out for the Nuggets/Nets game. But oh well, World Series takes precedent over two teams I'm not even a fan of. I gave away the tickets to a friend (obviously not a Yankee fan). Even my girlfriend (a Nets fan) didn't want to go to the Nets game, because she'd rather watch the Yankees in the World Series(Nets/Nuggets tickets were going for 3 dollars on stubhub).

I wake up and take my time getting ready. Drudge through some daily chores and by 5 p.m., I'm ready to leave for work in Chelsea section of Manhattan. I have to be at work at 6, so leaving at 5pm is early, considering I can usually get from Fort Lee, NJ to my work in about 30 minutes on a normal day. But this isn't a normal day. Yankees play at home in the World Series, plenty of traffic on the George Washington Bridge, so I left at 5 instead.

Listening to more traffic reports, there are accidents on the Cross Bronx Expressway, GW Bridge backed up 40 minutes. So I go through my routes of getting from my house toward the bridge. Roads are closed, redirected, held up by police. After sitting in a lane for about 10 minutes, I tried another road,...and then another. It's about 5:30 and I haven't even been able to get out of my home town. I'm pissed. Drake and Lupe Fiasco are getting me through it though.

I decide to call in to work and let them know I'm running late. I decide to try and take the Lincoln Tunnel from Hoboken. Go down River Road in Edgewater and make it toward the entrance of the tunnel by 5:50 pm. Still going to be late, but probably not as bad. I was wrong. Traffic was bad there as well. Still pissed, I make my way through the tunnel and head downtown to Chelsea. Park, and manage to get to work by 6:30. An hour and a half to get 11 miles. Heck, I could have driven to Philly in that much time!

But I'm at work now, time to focus on baseball and the Yankees. Pettitte pitches great, even on 3 days rest (yea take that critics (certain WFAN host) and shove it!). Matsui's success against Pedro continues. He ends the night with 3 hits for 6 RBIs (and the MVP trophy). Yanks have a fairly comfortable 7-3 lead, Joba and Marte help the Yanks get through the 6,7 and part of the 8th. Time for Mo! No problem getting through the 8th, Yankees don't score any more runs, onto the 9th!

I tell my co-worker: The 2 most comforting songs played back to back are Metallica's Enter Sandman and Frank Sinatra's New York, New York. The former for being Mariano Rivera's intro music as he comes out of the bullpen and the latter (as any Yankee fans and New Yorkers know) plays at the stadium when the Yankees win.



His response: Amen brother!!!!!!

Mo takes care of the 9th, as usual. Yankees win. In office Yankee fans are excited. Laughing, high fives, a hug. Excitement, joy and happiness take over, we joke about the centaur story about A-Rod and how the Phillies are done. It's all summed up in this picture:

I know some Mets fans enjoyed that!

It's 2am, time to go home. I get to my car, make my way up the West Side Highway and onto the GW bridge going into NJ. Ugh! More F'ing traffic! two left lanes are packed with trucks and some cars. It looks like the right lane is closed and further down the two center lanes are closed as well. Once again I'm annoyed, but still happy about the victory and number 27!

Someone starts honking. At first I think it's at me, but I didn't do anything, I only moved forward half an inch. But then I realize, they are honking a tune. Not sure what tune, but I know whoever is honking is Yankee fan coming back from the game and pumped from the win. Other fans coming home start honking too. I think about joining in on the honking, but that would be out of sync and lame. Only one thing to do. Roll down the windows (in 45 degree weather), open the moon roof, crank the stereo up all the way, and hit play on my iPod:



I'm sure some of the honking cars could hear it, I saw some truckers rocking out to it. BEST TRAFFIC EXPERIENCE EVER! And a day I will remember forever. Yankees are world champs again! Mo, Jeter, A-Rod, Teixeira, Jorge, Swisher, CC, Burnett, Pettitte, Joba...WORLD CHAMPS! So a lot of crap happened today, but I'll remember how I enjoyed number 27 sitting in traffic on the GW Bridge for the rest of my life.
