Is Digg at deaths doorstep? - Wesbo thinks so...“I will suppress the thought that Digg V4 looks like a bastard child of Twitter & Facebook, and keep those feelings to myself. All i know is that digg is no longer a unique product, it looks and behaves now like other platforms i use, it has in short become a sheep and joined the flock, no longer a leader, but now a follower.” — Wesbo, Punchbaby

iPad is Delicious - Video
iPad is Delicious - Video
Apparently, Apple’s phenomenal tablet is more than just magical and revolutionary. According to the Cupertino-based company and their Youtube channel, the iPad is also delicious. The part that’s really surprising is that on the Youtube video, there’s 2,012 “likes” and only 351 “dislikes” — we would have thought this video would be stormed by anti-Apple warriors by now, but it looks like iPad lovers can have their delicious iPad, and eat it too.
*do not eat your iPad

Maybe the Best College Application Letter in History
When a friend of mine showed me this crazy little letter, I laughed out loud. So I thought I might share it with you guys. The really funny part is this is an actual essay written by a college applicant to New York University, and after it was read, the application was accepted and he is now attending NYU.

Gmail can now call phone numbers and make cake
Just when you thought Gmail was the internet, it has now become your phone. Gmail has become so packed full of (surprisingly) useful features, that the need to leave your inbox has become an afterthought. For some, it’s overwhelming and understandably confusing, but for the geeks — this is pure, concentrated #win.
