Google Chrome OS
If you are hearing about Google’s foray into the operating system war for the first time, then I humbly thank you for being a follower of Morning Cup O’ Joe. When Google broke the news on its blog last night, the entire web was abuzz.
As a friend of mine pointed out, Google’s business model is about gathering information on you, profiling essentially, in order to build an accurate marketing model. Knowing this, would you still use the Google Chrome OS?
Surgical Tools of Old
I wonder which surgical tools of today will elicit the same visceral response that we get when we see these surgical tools of the past.
Yowza.

Enhanced Reality Apps for iPhone 3GS
This is a rough beginning, but it’s a beginning nonetheless. Can you imagine the possibilities? Can anyone say, “Urban Pac Man”?
Battlestar Galactica, Simpsons Style
Here’s a great gallery of Battlestar Galactica characters drawn Simpsons-style. If you liked that, you might enjoy other sci-fi characters drawn Simpsons-style.
Two great tastes that taste great together.

Has it really been 6 years since the Matrix Trilogy? Here’s a nostalgic reminder of The Matrix, ensconced in history via the awesomeness of Lego.

Sarychev Peak Eruption
What a perfect example of scientific serendipity. The International Space Station just happened to be floating over “Matua Island, in the Kuril Island chain, northeast of Japan” just as Sarychev Peak erupted in a spectacular fashion.
DTXTR – Teenage TXT Translation Tool
This is a completely serious website aimed at educating parents on the completely indecipherable SMS shorthand affectionately referred to as TXTing to the youth of today.
ROFLMAO.
In all seriousness, though, I think this is a potentially handy reference for people, IMHO.

iPhone OS 3.0 Update
I’ve successfully updated my family’s respective iPhones to version 3.0 of the firmware. No horror stories to share from me, though I am a tad bit annoyed by the extra page of applications that was inserted to make room for the new Voice Memo app. Instead of just pushing the applications over by one to make room, the update inserted a blank page and pushed one application onto it. Bleh.
There are plenty of articles on the interwebs describing the hottest features in the 3.0 update (like auto-authentication at any AT&T Wi-Fi Hotspot), but one upgrade that I didn’t see written about was how the iPod app handles audiobooks. There are two new buttons: one that rewinds you back 30 seconds, and one that increases the playback speed. I love this.
How did the update go for you?
iPhone Attention Deficit Disorder
The new iPhone 3GS has an upgraded camera (along with many other features) that make photo/gadget geeks like me very excited. Just be aware of your surroundings.
