Zuckerberg and Tom from Myspace meet in a bar - Video
What did they talk about? Google+ and the conversation goes sour real quick. Another great short from the guys at RoosterTeeth — funny, awkward and relivent. They did slip on one fact though — Tom sold Myspace to Rupert Murdoch for $540Million dollars (not the 30 million mentioned in the video). This is still an awesome short though!

Apple's 27-inch Thunderbolt display is essentially an iMac, minus a few things
Apple’s been known for always releasing new products at the same price of their predecessors but with a few more features than last time around and this is very true with the new 27-inch Thunderbolt Display. It’s essentially an iMac minus a processor, RAM, Harddrive, Graphics card and OS. It has everything else like USB, Thunderbolt, Ethernet, FireWire, HD Facetime camera, Speakers, Mic and 27 inches of glory — but it also has one or two other tricks up it’s sleeve.

According to the Google+ Terms of Service, they aren't stealing your information
So everyone is raving about Google+ and nobody expected it to take off this fast. Google seems to be making all the right moves, and Facebook seems to be slipping out of the limelight with fellow geeks packing up and flocking over to Google+ with mainstream Facebook users becoming curious. You’d think Google+ is gaining popularity because of it’s nifty features, or tie-ins with existing services, but it appears as if it’s a little more complicated than that — people are loving Google+ because they are treating your info they way they should (according to their TOS) — Let’s hope they don’t fudge this up…

Apple Sales Roar Past Q3 Estimates with $28.57 Billion in Revenue
With a gross margin of 41.7%, better then what analysts and the company had predicted, Q3 has been a very successful quarter for Apple. Q3’s net profit was a staggering $7.31B, and even though the iPhone is close to a refresh, Apple sold 20.34M iPhones which is 14% more then last year. Apple also sold 9.25M iPads this quarter, bringing iPad sales up 183% compared to last year and lastly Apple sold 3.95 million Macs during the quarter, bringing sales up 14% compared to third quarter last year. Impressive, but Mac sales really seem small.

Let's enhance it - TV's version of sharpening and zooming in
Let's enhance it - TV's version of sharpening and zooming in
“Let’s enhance it” or “Enhance the image” are both pretty common phrases spoken during any given episode of CSI, Law and Order, and other shows of the like. Apparently, when you work for a state run facility you get state of the art technology that breaks the boundaries of what’s possible in professional photography.

iPhone 4 falls 13,500 feet from Skydiver's pocket and lives
When Apple set out to create the iPhone, I highly doubt they believed it would one day be dropped from 13,500 feet. As avid skydiver Jarrod McKinney recently discovered, Apple’s fourth generation iPhone is far sturdier than most would believe. A short drop and sudden stop is often enough to destroy the glass back or display of Apple’s popular smartphone — a feat which was achieved by McKinney after his two year old accidentally knocked his phone from a bathroom shelf, cracking the screen in the process. However in this instance, a mishap 13,000+ feet above the ground has resulted in a rather amusing story.

Capcom announces cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3
Hints were everywhere about the possible, and what has now become, inevitible end to the Mega Man Legends 3 project. The development of the title was ground breaking for its openess in allowing fans to vote and select concept art and character design which would become the final look of the newly introduced characters. However, it seems all the hype was for naught. — More after the break!
