Paris Hilton was spotted leaving Melrose Mac in Hollywood with several new Apples as she made her way back to her car. Not sure who these were for, but you gotta love the fact that the heiress is one…
There’s an eBay auction going on right now for a code that’ll allow you to beta test the new Starcraft II : Wings of Liberty . Hey, that’s cool. You know, I beta-tested something once. It was a goldfish . It did not survive. Fish joke! This auction is for a piece of paper that shows the Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty Beta Invite code. This key code provides instant access to the SC2 beta and allows you to download the beta client immediately. The code has NOT been used. If you have a feedback rating higher than 20, I am willing to forward actual email key code right away rather than shipping it. But only if you have a perfect feedback (100%) and rating higher than 20. Weird, when I first got the tip last night and looked at the auction they were asking $999, but now they only want $380. *cough* Drug addict *cough* . eBay Auction Thanks to blackswans22, who may or may yes be the meth-fiending seller.
Finally, after years of being a mis-proportioned strumpet, Barbie has finally put herself through college (stripping) and earned a Computer Engineering degree . I’m proud of you, Barbie (one more lap dance for old time’s sake?). Not only will Computer Engineer Barbie be attached to her shiny pink laptop and Bluetooth earpiece, but Mattel worked closely with the Society of Women Engineers to ensure that Barbie’s fashions were as geek chic as possible. She sports a binary tee, black skinny pants, retro-styled glasses, and totes a smartphone along with her other essentials. Way to go, Barbie. Say, is that a Tokyoflash watch? You’re hipper than I thought you were! Kidding — look at yourself. You’re wearing a binary shirt with circuit board sleeves. Barbie’s New Career: Computer Engineer! [geeksugar] Thanks to mimi and Bella, who could out-code Barbie with their eyes closed. Seriously, they’re touch-typists.

Need more USB ports ? Who doesn’t, amirite? Well then look no further than Thanko’s 80-port USB panel. At $200, there’s really no reason not to buy a half dozen. Plus, adjustable voltage. WEEWOOWEEWOOWEEWOO!! みんなきっと驚くこと間違いなし!これ、なんと80ポートものUSBポートを内蔵したチャージャーボードなんです。携帯電話、デジカメ、オーディオプレーヤーなどなど。そんなデジタル機器をたくさんお持ちの方には朗報かもしれません!デジタル機器を80個まで充電できるなんて、まるで夢のようじゃないですか?USBの端子が80ポートも並んでいるのを横からみると何か、なんだか軍隊の兵隊さんみたいな感じがして迫力あります。 Unless you run a ‘Rent-A-Port’ by the minute business (genius) or make something in bulk that needs to be charged before selling, why the hell would you need one of these? Don’t get me wrong, I’m still buying two, but that’s only because I have 101 Dalmations 160 USB humping dogs and think it would be hysterical to see them all going at it simultaneously. Wouldn’t that be funny? You’d watch it on Youtube, right? CHANNEL VIEWS NEED CHANNEL VIEWS. Product Site via Who Needs More USB Ports? [forevergeek] Thanks to Melissa and Darkwing Duck, who charge things the old fashioned way: with space technology.
So Apple’s gonna announce their tablet tomorrow. That’s exciting. And these are allegedly a couple leaked pictures of the thing a whole day early. Boners all around! And, because I love you, I’ll post real pictures tomorrow if you’re like following this sort of thing. But, if you like following women with a video camera trying to film up their skirts, sorry, can’t help ya . Hit the jump for a closer shot of what may or may not be an empty picture frame.
I can’t even believe that. Granted I spend 26 hours a day staring at a computer screen , but I’ve also already come to grips with not having a life or ever seeing the light of day (I look like a much handsomer Edward Cullen already!). But these kids, they still have hope . Run! Run into the light, little ones! However, it should be noted that this figure includes multi-tasking (i.e. watching television and working on a laptop simultaneously for an hour counts as 2 hours). The actual figure for singular daily use is 7:30. Jesus, you kids are gonna be blind by the time you’re 30! Look at me, I’m living proof. Kidding, kidding — masturbation. That shit’ll get ya. Youth of America Spend Half Their Waking Hours Staring at Screens [gizmodo]
Despite what you may have learned in school, a petabyte isn’t a byte that lures children into its van with free candy. That’s a peda byte. No, a peta byte is 1,000 gigabytes, and this is a graphic depicting how large that is (you have to hit the jump to see the rest cause it’s really long like monkey arms). And, since I’m in a teaching mood this morning, do you know what comes after petabyte? Exabyte (1 billion gigabytes), zettabyte (1 billion terabytes) and yottabyte (1 quadrillion gigabytes). A quadrillion gigabytes? That’s a lot of files porn. I can’t even wrap my head around that. But I can wrap my head around corners to peek and make sure the coast is clear. Just sayin’, I’m stealthy! Hit the jump to see the rest.
‘I’m on a Mac’ is a music video spoofing — you’ll never guess — The Lonely Island’s, ‘ I’m on a Boat ‘. It was surprisingly good and after watching it I can honestly say I didn’t want to jam the business end of an umbrella in my eyes and ears. So, yeah, I guess that’s an endorsement. Corporate America — call me. Youtube Thanks to Victor, who likes to post tips on Geekologie’s Facebook Wall instead of sending them to me.
This is a little graphic depicting how fanboys view their operating system compared to others. I thought it was pretty cute, especially the little Mac boy. Also, who else feels like they got Windows as viewed by Linux’d last night? Just me? Cool. How Fanboys See Operating Systems [joeydevilla] Thanks to Mark, who pledges no allegiance to any operating system except his central nervous one.
