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. Usually I won’t post rumors but this looks legit, the full announcement is supposed to be in a couple of days.

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.

UGO And IGN To Merge, Form Larger Site We Still Don’t Care About
Don’t you remember the early 00s, right after as the dot-com hangover began? Back when wonderful sites like Daily Radar were smitten from existence and bland, unfeeling ones like UGO and IGN survived? Well, all things are circular I suppose because a recent report states that these two titans of mediocrity are joining together into a slightly larger tribute to vanilla. I have never been less excited about two chunks of personality-free internet real estate joining together.

Movie Review: Fast Five
I’m not sure when the Fast & The Furious series evolved from its cheesy, ricer-fest ooze to the recent Bourne-style action films that spend as much time on foot chases as they do in cars, but everyone’s better off for it. The series had been known for being so monumentally stupid that by the second installment, complete with squeaky cars that look like they were driven straight out of the Matchbox factory, rival studios were mocking it with brain dead rip-offs like Joseph Kahn’s Torque. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here to tell you that Fast Five, the latest in the series, is also the best, earning every dollar it receives at the box office.
