Lady Gaga all Over YouTube
Lady Gaga's Bad Romance music video has made one the the most viewed videos on You Tube. With 184 million views it has surpassed the viral video Charlie Bit My Finger. With the spectacular editing and unique outfits it is probably one of Gaga's most stunning videos. Here's a link to the said video if you haven't already seen it (shame).

Google Tablet?

According to some Google may be coming out with their very own tablet. The tablet will be able to run android, of course. Google will most probably bundle the tablet with a version on Google Chrome. The company is working to get book and magazine content on it as well. Unlike it's Apple counterpart it will run flash and games (YES!). I wonder if it has internet on it (well duh it's Google). Well I personally can't wait. The one thing that makes me think the Apple iPad is lame is the fact that it refuses to run adobe flash player so hopefully this will be the better new and improved version :D. I am looking forward to this.
Next of Kin?

The new Kin phones :D They are called Kin one and Kin two. They are based all around social media, basiccally the whole idea behind that is that your sharing everything that goes on in your life. Facebook, twitter, you name it. These phones are really designed for people who like those sites. Along with people who text a lot, email a lot, you know all of that social networking stuff. The Kin one (is smaller in size) has a 5 megapixel camera whereas the Kin two (the larger one) has an 8 megapixel camera. Along with a better camera, the Kin two has a better internal memory. Both phones are from Verizon and made by Japan's Sharp corporation.

Robots doing Chores?

I never thought it would come to this. Robots can now do common everyday chores. Researchers at UC Burkley have taught a robot how to fold towels. The Willow Garage PR2 can roam an office in search of a power outlet as well as identify that a towel is a towel. It will then proceed to fold the said towel. Once the towel is folded it will be neatly stacked. The Willow can do up to 25 towels per minute. What a funny way of timing towel folding.
Feminine Camera?

The Sony W350D! A camera ladies can cope with. Nice, compact, and it comes in pink, what more could a lady wish for? So anyway, the colors are "Jewel Pink" (notice the rhinestones), and "Precious White" (also with rhinestones). It has 14 megapixels, 4x optical zoom, and a 2.7 inch LCD. It also comes complete with face detection and captures 720 PHD video. I goes on sale in Japan on April 23'd for around $290.
Need Batteries

Having trouble with batteries that just don't last long enough? Well no more worries! Thanks to Hitachi you'll never have to deal with short term batteries. INTRODUCING HITACHI'S 10 YEAR BATTERIES! Imagine only having to go to the store every decade to buy batteries! No more annoying trips because your radio isn't working, or your kid's toy car....wont work. Back to all seriousness though. Hitachi thinks that they will be releasing these super batteries some time next year.

3D DS?

Nintendo says that in about a year they should be coming out with a 3D DS. You may not even need to wear 3D glasses for this gadget. Ninteno has JUST launched the DS XL so for them to release another DS so soon seems to be pretty rushed. I guess Nintendo really wants to jump on this whole 3D craze before it goes away. It will be compatable with older DS games, however that's all we really know right now. All I would like to know is if it can play GBA games...probably not. >.> *sigh* goodbye old school gaming.
Google Maps Update~!

You can now check hotel prices on Google maps. Yup, just enter the dates that you will be staying in a given city and Google maps will give you real prices on select listings of hotels in that area. If you click the price you will see a list of advertisements that provide information on that hotel, indicated by a sponsor text sign. You can actually click all the way through to reserving the room. This sounds pretty convinient to those who like to travel. Before now the biggest problem was being able to compare prices of hotels, but not geographically able to compare them. Have fun!

China?

China has now blocked Google from mainland computer in response to Google removing filtered search results. On monday Google redirected Chinese users to their Hong-Kong site where the search results are not filtered. Later Chinese users complained that they could not get Google content because government computers had either disabled searches or blocked links to certain results. This does not apply to all Chinese users, just some of them. Anyway, China's biggest mobile company, China mobile, is canceling a deal that uses Google as it's primary search engine. This is just one of the partner ships that Google seems to be loosing over in China. Honestly I think that this is pretty childish of China. If you don't want your people to see something bad, then don't do it. That's what I say.
