The Startup Guys
Holy crap this is exactly how FleshEatingZipper started except we don’t focus on anything, instead we just throw random stuff together and call it a website and pay/bribe/blackmail people to read our site and write comments. Oh and there is no actual people that really write anything, it’s a computer from the future that has a split personality.

Life With A Chromebook
Today at I/O 2011, Google finally announced retail plans for Chrome OS, starting with two netbooks (or Chromebooks, as they call them) by Acer and Samsung. Google began to ship Chromebook reference designs, designated the CR-48, to developers and other gawkers around New Years’. Kelly got his Chromebook about a month before I did, but while his sat in a box in the garage for months, I’ve ended up using mine daily for the past three months. So what does one expect coming into Chromebook land? Follow me…

Twitter Just Bought TweetDeck
Back in February we heard that UberMedia (UberTwitter, EchoFon) was buying TweetDeck for $30 million and today TechCrunch is reporting that Twitter counter offered with $40-50 million. This is smart for Twitter since TweetDeck is widely used and if UberMedia owned them that means they would have the highest market share on how people interact with Twitter.

White iPhone IS the Same Size as Black iPhone, Calm Down
Man the internet was abuzz when it was said that the white iPhone was thicker after using lead from a mechanical pencil to be the judge, because we all know that those are straight and accurate measuring devices. Well Consumer Reports decided to see if it was true using um, a more professional device. What they found when they used their professional calipers was that it was in fact the same size as the black iPhone. Now case manufacturers can rest assure they don’t need to make two different model cases.
