Let's Go Surfing

- Free Kindle App Coming To Android Devices This Summer [Android]
source: Gizmodo

Hopefully it runs on Android 1.6.

- The iPad doesnt need to do everything
source: Marco.org

Interesting take on the iPad, one month in.

- Tintii a nice stand alone photo color tinting app

Nice piece of stand alone freeware that makes it fast and easy to take a color photo and turn it black and white leaving only 1, 2, 3 or more colors highlighted.

- 4 Great Ways To Embed Twitter Tweets Onto Your Blog With Blackbird
source: MakeUseOf.com

This to me is insane. Look at the picture at right. Look at how much embed code they have for 140 characters? The concept of embeding a tweet at all is just insane. Embedding Youtube Videos make sense, the video player fuctionality doesn't exist on your website. Embedding 140 chars of text? as a widget? Serves no useful purpose. It is complexity for no useful purpose.

- The iPad and Velcro, a Match Made in Heaven [Ipad]
source: Gizmodo

Fantastic video. All gadget lovers should watch. my only critique, he should have cut the right side of that top piece of velcro a little more straight. ;)

- Facebooks Privacy Problem
source: Jon Taplin\'s Blog



Above a pretty nice graphic showing all the stuff that Facebook has made public. the post-it that shows that your friends can share your info to 3rd parties without your permission is the part I still think most people don't realize. Yes there are obscure ways to lock some of this back down, but most of it stays public in one corp scrapable for or another. It's to the point now, where the "only way to win, is not to play." in my opinion.

- Michael Bay gets ready to blow up the Ninja Turtles [Tmnt]

Turtles AND Explosions!

- RIP: Get a Mac Gets a Tribute [VIDEO]
source: Mashable!

Nice retrospective video compilation of Get a Mac commercials. Worth a watch if you are a John Hodgeman fan.

- 60 Awesome Android Apps
source: Mashable!

Since I'm new to Android, I found all the links to other articles, at the bottom of the above, useful.

- ASUS Eee Tablet: a notepad with impressive 2450 dpi touchscreen sensitivity (updated)
source: Engadget

A very high resolution notetaking centric grayscale 1024x768 pen based touchscreen tablet. For $199 to $299. Very interesting looking device. I can't imagine it will be a giant hit, but it's something to look for at reduced eBay resell prices perhaps in another year or so.

Here's another post with some Video


- James McAvoy Cast As Charles Xavier In X-Men First Class [X-men First Class]
source: io9

If Xavier is that young, he's probably not a Professor yet. Get ready for "Teaching Assistant X!"
