And so the mobile device from Apple that everyone has has been talking about for a year already, will be called the iPad.  Looks pretty cool though.

The plane that Captain Sully Sullenberger landed on the Hudson last year in New York City is up for auction!  Not sure why, seeing as how it is historically significant and should go to a museum, nevermind the fact it was completely submerged IN A RIVER and is not operable.  It has been disected, the electronics are ruined, and the wings / engines removed.  Either way, if you’re interested in bidding on it, the auction is here:

Ford pulled off a sweep, winning both Car of the Year with it’s Fusion Hybrid eco-friendly sedan, as well as Truck of the Year with it’s Transit Connect urban van.  The results were announced at the Detroit International Auto Show yesterday.  The Fusion Hybrid is a gasoline - electric mid size sedan that gets great milage, has room for 5, and has the high tech Sync system from Microsoft.  For Truck of the Year honors is the Transit Connect, a small van that has lots of cargo room in a small form factor, designed to get around cities easily for deliveries.  The Transit comes in several configurations, and also gets great city gas milage.

So from what I can tell, CES consisted of about 5,000 iterations of the same 2 products.  Touch Screen devices, such as tablets, netbooks, phones, counter-top computers, and media players.  Secondly, 3-D TV.  3DTV channels, providers, televisions, conversion boxes and everything else to go with.  Yawn.  What we need is something groundbreaking that will revolutionize the world.

What are everyone’s resolutions for the new year?  Anything good?

Looks like the DRM software in the Amazon Kindle has been reverse engineered, and hackers have been able to extract the text of the Kindle’s AZW files into regular PDF’s.   The exploits have not been turned into a regular program, so there is no way to do this at home kids.  Yet.

I realize I have been stuck on this topic for a few weeks now, but I just can’t keep myself from sharing these great boobs with you. Stumbled across this pic of a blonde with an amazing body and absolutely perfect tits and I just had to share it.

Enjoy!

The Commerce Department has revised 3rd Quarter GDP downward again, for a second time.  Originally estimated at 3.5%, it was first revised down to 2.8%, and now yesterday it was revised down to 2.2%.  Not technically a Recession, but still not good to see, as the economic recovery is slow to take hold.

Google has posted a 2009 recap detailing the year’s most prominent search patterns, stories, and trends.  These are always interesting to see what news topics came and went, and which ones had staying power.  Check it out.

I don’t care what you say about her. Talented or untalented, makes no difference. Lindsey Lohan is hot, and has big perfect boobs. Check them out here (NSFW):

TC is reporting that the Google phone will hit stores in January 2010, and we be sold unlocked.  The phone will be branded as a Google phone, not a T-Mobile or manufacturer name like usual.  It will also work on AT&T and Cingular as well as T-Mobile, giving the buyer some choice of carrier.

Tara Reid says she is more grown up, and finally happy with her life.  She also reveals that she is not “Girls Gone Wild” anymore.  Well, either way is fine with me, so long as her boobs are out.

EDIT, REVISITED HERE:  http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/12/10/microsoft-users-gullible-advertising/

TC has an interesting topic this morning. The question is posed (and data proves) that Bing users are 75% more likely to click on an ad after arriving at a webpage via an organic search. Is that to say Bing users are more inclined to be purchasers, whereas Google users are simply looking for information? Or perhaps Bing users are finding sites that have better ad placement? Maybe Google users have become immune to ads and actively ignore them or read right over them. Tough to say, but look at the graph and you’ll find quite a disparity from Google all the way up to AOL.

Tiger Woods’ alleged mistress list is at 6 and growing!

Now here is a great find. Jennifer Aniston topless in the movie The Break Up! Pics are after the link. Jennifer Anniston is the hottest cougar out there, so this is an especially good find. The pictures aren’t the greatest quality, but they show her tits none the less, so that works for me!

Ok so my first post may have been premature, it doesn’t appear that Tiger Woods was out drunk driving after all.  Instead he was out cheating on his wife.  Rumors suggest anyways.  On Wednesday a voicemail from Tiger to Jaimee Grubbs was leaked, and Tiger subsequently updated his blog to apologize for not loving up to his standards.  No official admittance, but still pretty clear.  I suppose he is going to be worth half as much as he used to be, after the divorce.

Well there goes my hopes of ultra convenient, super comfortable internet surfing from the couch.  Sure a laptop would work, but the CrunchPad was designed to be an open source mashup of a tablet PC, iPhone, laptop, smartphone, you name it.  The prototypes were awesome, and the major hardware and distribution channels were primed and ready.  Hopefully the Crunch team can still salvage something and work out a plan.

I usually try to keep it family friendly here, but these giant boobs are too spectacular not to share. So here is a Monday night treat for everyone.

TMZ released 4 pics today showing Tiger Woods’  black Escalade wrapped around a tree in his community in Florida.  The back window is smashed out, and the right frontend is torn off.

Check them out:

Also, interestingly enough, it seems the Weekly World News predicted this way back in 2000.  Well, ok, it isn’t an exact prediction, but funny none the less.

http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/29/idroid-app-rejected-apple-iphone/

Well, not suprisingly, but shamefully, Apple’s censors have rejected an iPhone App called iDroid.  Granted, iDroid didn’t actually do much, but it was a clever marketing and advertising method.  All it did was display the Droid Eye logo, and tout it’s benefits.  Somehow Apple didn’t find this amusing, and rejected the App from the App Store.
