Got a iPhone, BlackBerry, or any other type of SmartPhone with internet???
Then visit this site for some fun:

first, everything went to Web 2.0
then we all heard about “grillz” and cool shiny rims on cars
now even google had to get caught up in the mess, and make a browser called “Chrome”
when did the world become so dull that everything has to be shiny, chromed out, or glitterly?
personally, I think the fad is boring and I would rather go back to some simpler times when we all could just enjoy the nice weather, either at the beach or mountains, or through a walk downtown on a warm night after a nice baseball game.
These days, I have found most monitors to be the same. Some that are dreadful, some that are spectacular, but most are just OK. One monitor that’s a good bet for the Spectacular category will be the LG Flatron L226WTQ ~ the world’s first LCD computer monitor that LG is claiming to have a 5,000:1 contrast ratio.
A high contrast ratio, for those not in the know, keeps images from looking washed out. You get very dark blacks, very bright whites, and ultimately a better picture. It’s not that useful when you’re editing images, doing desktop publishing or other dull office tasks, but it’s jolly good for watching movies and for a great gaming experience.
The word so far on the street about the L226WTQ for the last few weeks has been the typical comments like “we can’t verify the exact contrast ratio” (few people can), it’s packing some seriously BLACK Blacks, and awesome WHITE Whites. The color reproduction seems pretty good too, plus you get 2ms gray-to-gray response time, HDCP over DVI-I for high-definition content, and a one-touch zoom function that lets you switch to lower resolutions if your eyes can’t cope with 1,680×1,050 pixels.
The L226WTQ is available in black or a rather unattractive shade of gray for around about $300-$350. Look to see it at Best Buy, H.H. Gregg, NewEgg.com, and TigerDirect in plenty of time for Christmas.
The good: Dominating performance in current-generation games; catches up to ATI on current-gen image quality; first card out with support for DirectX10 and next-gen gaming features; amazing value proposition.
The bad: Will likely require you to beef up your power supply in SLI mode.
The bottom line: This one is easy. Nvidia’s GeForce 8800 GTX not only beats ATI to market with its next-gen 3D graphics hardware, it also eliminates ATI’s image-quality advantage in current-generation titles. Throw in its sheer horsepower, and Nvidia gives the high-end enthusiast every reason to make this purchase.

The humble USB drive could soon be using a new type of memory thanks to research from the Arizona State University.
The college’s Center for Applied Nanoionics (CANi) has developed a new technique for storing memory that could lead to flash memory being superseded in a number of years.
The new memory technology, which is known as programmable metallization cell (PMC), has been developed to counteract the physical limits of current memory storage technology. The college claimed that PMC could be a 1,000 times more efficient than existing flash memory and could enable devices like USB drives to greatly increase the memory of digital cameras, MP3 players and laptops.
