If you’re a huge space buff, you might not be surprised by anything in this video tour of the International Space Station . But it’s still great to just get a simple walkthrough of this incredible project and all its corners.

I hate spiders, I hate horror movies, and I hate gimmicky computer cases . But I love the commercial for the Lian Li Mini-atx case. Maybe it’s just because it reminded me of Steve Irwin.

Black Hawk Safety Net , an online hacker training resource with 12,000 paying members and another 170,000 free members, was brought down recently by Chinese authorities. Only three operators of the site were arrested, while the official site itself, 3800hk.com, was put out of commission when the company’s 9 servers were seized.

I love little birds. They are so cute
I love little birds. They are so cute. And they taste delicious and crunchy fried in beer batter.

JDS Architects thought that this trampoline net spiral—which would allow people to bounce from the top floor to the bottom of the Guggenheim Museum rotunda—could be the funniest thing ever.

A curious tidbit from VentureBeat: The A4 chip that Apple’s pimping hardcore in iPad promos might not’ve been done by their PA Semi team (which Apple acquired for $278 million). Their source says it was designed by Apple’s existing VLSI team, who made custom chips like northbridges for the old G5 Macs. Sounds possible, since there likely isn’t a whole lot “custom” going in the A4’s actual design, which by all appearances is an ARM Cortex A9 wrapped up with a PowerVR graphics core and some other parts in a custom SoC

Android 2.1 for the Droid is making its way through the Verizon test gauntlet, and apparently inside is multitouch for the browser (like Maps 3.4), Google Goggles, and fancy news and weather widgets. Not coming over from the Nexus One ? Live backgrounds—those swishy animated wallpapers—and that new 3D grid of app icons aren’t part of the package.

If a printer doesn’t need toner, ink or copy paper, is it still a printer? Well, I guess if a bear still shits in a forest, then yes.

Let’s not dwell on the past. Things happened as they happened, you have a kid and you don’t want to sing the damned Happy Birthday song yet another year. Boy oh boy do we have the
