After my 1 day vacation from the internet, I’m back with another nightly roundup. Thanks to Kevlar for handling last night’s and I hope he does more. So, let’s get crackalackin.
You might have heard that the Noisecast was overcome with a crippling sense of paranoia and worry for the lives of our dear peasants (we mean that in the affectionate way that George Washington meant it for his slaves on his plantation). So we started survival week. Tonight, learn to face off against that monthly bitch that terrorizes your village.
Vivek Wadwha on the troubling signs pointing to the US Startup VISA being D.O.A (like autotune)
Enter GIRP, the spiritual successor to QWOP. The rest of the roundup after the jump.
This pleasant little video, using angry birds as a metaphor for… oh just watch it.
You think maybe the gubmint don’t know what secrecy means? 4 sources? This is why I laugh at Conspiracy Theorists.
Twitter founder wants to make service more mainstream… really? Twitter ISN’T mainstream right now? I’m listening.
So, on top of sucking, marketing for Samsung’s Galaxy Tab is also full of lies? Shocking.
*Yawn* More tablets on their way.
Record labels are already a mockery of the very concept of the “intelligent human”. This is just getting ridiculous.
Speaking of survival, Jacki Chan is immortal. He handily survived his Twitter assassination and shall continue to rule supreme in the house that Bruce Lee built (but that he decorated oh so finely).
Oh no, you fat silly nerd. You weren’t getting enough exercise with the Kinect, don’t worry, your Samsung Galaxy S2 has you covered.
They’ve called in the NSA to investigate the hack of NASDAQ. This almost always means they suspect a foreign government’s involvement. The NSA had previously been called in on the Google hack performed by Chinese elements.
Microsoft says there will soon be NFC support in WP7, just as soon as they get the first batch of updates done… HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, nah, I’m playing, the update will exist but you’ll never get it.
No offence, but Kansas City, Kansas is a shit hole where people go to buy drugs, sell drugs or get shot… j/k I’m just jealous that they won the honor of getting Googles Fiber all up in their guts. Finally, and American community can get the brand new cutting edge internet access that anybody could get in some major Asian cities for years now. Good job, America.
Tesla Motors is suing Top Gear for libel, malicious falsehood, and their missing funny bone.
iPhone rumors are at it again. This one is a doozy. Voice-controlled, cloud streaming LTE iPhone 5 in the fall. Okay…
Google gets a “like” button, but calls it “+1”
Had no idea Paul Allen was so bitter over Bill Gates being richer than him. He feels he deserves more credit (and presumably more shares in Microsoft) a company that, every version of the story, except his, has him as the wingman.
WebOS 3.0 beta for developers is out. I’m genuinely excited for this.
Nintendo is teasing its next gaming console and says it “probably” won’t be 3D… “probably?” As in, they haven’t decided yet? As in, they haven’t started working on it yet? As in, this is just a cock-tease? I’m going to bed. G’night.
