Homotron Week In Review: Week Ending 03/08/2008

Do you feel it? Yes folks, that's the smell of spring in the air!

It rained here recently in Miami (rain being a daily ocurrence), but this time instead of being cooler after the rain, the sun was out and warm after the rain - which means one thing: Spring is coming!

I took advantage of the feel of Spring and went tanning on the beach. True story: I didn't recognise my own skin in the shower because it had gotten so dark from tanning.

Yeah, I'm a room cave nerd.

Moving on from my tanning stories, let's get down to business!

On to the linkage:

• That's right, even Mac "viruses" are pretty.
• Is Digg going to get in on all this hot and heavy company buy-out action?
• Nine Inch Nails gives away their music, and makes money doing it!
• We covered the unveiling of the iPhone SDK details live! For a peek at what's to come from the SDK, take a look at GayGamer's Gamer of the Week's game Trism. Be careful carrying your iPhone and iPods around, though: I hear they attract the baddies.
• Coat hangers? Just as good as those ridiculously expensive Monster Cables.
• Verizon likes to let the Feds into their backdoor.
• Snakes on a pole!
• Circuit City takes pity on HD-DVD buyers, and lets you trade that paperweight for something Blu.
• You know that crazy awesome robotic arm in Star Wars? It's now real!
• Iran is blocking the tubes this week!
• Bill Gates lays down some smack talk against Google. Don't let him talk to you like that, Google!
• Our Gadget of the Week was none other than the new multi-touch trackpad MacBook Pros.
• Clubs are so last century. If you want a man, go to the Apple Store!
