"Giving up my iPod for a Walkman"
This is what happens when you give a 13 year old kid a Sony Walkman to compare against his iPod.
It took me three days to figure out that there was another side to the tape. That was not the only naive mistake that I made; I mistook the metal/normal switch on the Walkman for a genre-specific equaliser, but later I discovered that it was in fact used to switch between two different types of cassette. BBC invited 13 year old Scott Campbell to trade in his iPod for Sony Walkman for 1 week.Leo Laporte and Mike Arrington on the Palm Pre
Just saw this on TV a few minutes ago while working from home.
Leo Laporte got a Palm Pre to review and got pretty mad when Mike Arrington from TechCrunch implied that his review was biased since the unit was given to Laporte for free. He shortly kicked all the web cam participants off the June 6th Gillmor Gang show and ended the show right after. Why is Taylor Swift Rapping With T-Pain?

You might remember the next game in the Duke Nukem series that was supposed to be released sometime this millennium, but just recently got canceled indefinitely when 3d Realms went outta business (as if it was ever going to come out anyway.) Anywho, an ex 3d Realms staffer leaked this to developers and then it got posted all over the internet.
Mind you this is NSFW due to some stripper tits and some Duke Nukem flavored language. Racingsouthwest.com Drift-Cross, May 24, 2009

Some unfortunate news for dirt track racers around New Mexico. The Hollywood Hills Speedway has closed due to unsafe conditions at the facility.
Officials met in Phoenix, AZ to discuss the future of the speedway as it was revealed that the facility would be closing due to unsafe conditions of the masonry structures at the track. The main entrance and concession building have been deemed unsafe by engineers in an inspection prompted by track and casino officials. This building will be shut down immediately and temporary ticket locations will be established in order to proceed with the final 2 races at Hollywood Hills.The full article is available at the Hollywood Hills Speedway website. This is a big hit to racers in New Mexico. The Hollywood Hills Speedway is located between Albuquerque and Santa Fe off of Interstate 25 exit 252, just 10 miles north of Bernalillo, New Mexico.

If we started a movie on the day you were born, and stretched it over your lifespan, this is where you'd be in that movie. So if you're a teenager, you might see Luke arguing with Uncle Owen, or Cameron making a phony phone call to Ed Rooney. If you're a retiree, you might see the Marshmallow Man, or Toto pulling away the curtain. And if you're in your mid-thirties, you might be relieved to know that Ferris is still eating lunch, and the Millenium Falcon hasn't left Tatooine.
Where are you in the movie? Just enter your birth date on the site and it'll tell you. It has a few movie choices to pick from including Star Wars, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and Ghostbusters. 2009 Gumball 3000 Rally in Santa Fe
