The Future Of Foursquare Check-Ins Requires Literally Swiping Your Phone? AWESOME.
Use Foursquare? What about Facebook Places? If the latter, why? Did you know Foursquare exists? Anyway, I’m getting ahead of myself. Many of us know that location apps are hindered by a legion of wrong check-ins or outright cheating: a portion of the system hinges on some honesty about where you’re checking in. For those who play by the rules, there’s a real sense of satisfaction when you unlock that one elusive badge where you’ve visited all of the best dental museums in the world (it doesn’t exist, but it should…). Well, it looks like Foursquare is figuring it out and I’ll explain how after the break.

Windows Phone Hits 10,000 Apps, Nick Still Doesn’t Have One
Outpacing Apple’s App Store and Android’s Marketplace in their respective five months after debut, Microsoft’s Windows Phone has surpassed 10,000 applications, a great sign for the platform as it goes forward. Oh, sure, those other stores have been out for years and Microsoft has to compete with existing standards, but the momentum being where it is (and building!), signs are looking up for the fledgling Zune phone.
Some day I’ll have one, too. *sniff*

Did Yahoo Just Sell Delicious?
The rumor mill is constantly churning and the latest is that Yahoo just sold Delicious for $5 million reports The Next Web. This doesn’t come as a surprise with the rumor in December that Yahoo was closing them down. Yahoo bought delicious in 2005 for between $15 and $30 million and now if they sold it they are loosing a hell of a lot of money. This also isn’t surprising since it seems that startups go to Yahoo to die. Does anyone still use Delicious or is it one of those sites that’s slowly dying off like Digg?

Homefront Launch Trailer is Here!
Oh snap! I don’t know about you but I’m excited about this game, so are my little brothers. I think it’s because the game makes you feel patriotic, kind of how Modern Warfare 2 did when you we’re going through the Pentagon and they had that unpleasant feeling like “oh hell no, not in my AMERIKA!” After the jump I included the first 17 minutes of the game in HD!

Stop Waiting for Chrome Notebooks, They’re Gone!
If you are still hoping that you will get a Google Chrome notebook you can stop waiting because they are now gone, sorry. I got one from the first shipment and haven’t used it as much as I would like. Nick got his about a month ago and his came with stickers (mine didn’t :( so Google if you read this can you send me some stickers). Well I just found out that they got 60,000 made and now they are finally out. So if you really want one you can buy one from eBay or just wait until Summer when they release better ones that will be available for a few hundred bucks at your local electronics retailer or online.
