I’ve been busy getting ready for a trip to the inlaws residing in Montreal and Vermont (No we’re not going to renew our vows…yet) so here’s a bunch of news items that made me go huuurmm?<\/p>\n

Another Somali pirate attack<\/a>. Here’s a thought: don’t boat by Somalia. It’s like African shipping lanes are run by the RIAA.<\/p>\n

Apple snoozes and the next big interface gets dropped<\/a>. Note the graphically correct circle menus (easier to navigate than stacked menus!). However, I’m not liking the “Cube farm” feel – I get enough of that in real life. I’m sure they’ll jazz it up in future releases.<\/p>\n

RIM “leaks” the next gen of “text input”<\/a>. “See this? It’s a stylis! We’re going retro! Screw you iPhone!”<\/p>\n

iTunes drops their crappy DRM to all their songs, applies tiered pricing.<\/a> I still haven’t found any reported $0.69 songs in the Canadian store. And I was knee deep in old Rough Trade songs.<\/p>\n

Poor Penelope Cruz. <\/a>‘Nuff said.<\/p>\n

I need a new video game. The Onion to the rescue!<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of video games – will this movie tie in game not suck? Who cares… VIN DIESEL!!!<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally, someone smart has collected the top 99 things you should have seen<\/a> since the inception of the internet. No Exploding whale<\/a> though (the first internet video I ever downloaded. Took me 4 hours, kids!).<\/p>\n
