Homotron Week In Review: Week Ending 03/15/2008

Hey look! It's St. Patrick's Day!

The castle and accompanying Homotron labs have been bedecked with green sequins and I've released my army of robo-leprechauns to cause mischief and mayhem.

Tonight, I'm totally getting smashed going to have responsible fun as we celebrate one of my favourite holidays. Have you ever seen Tiny Dancer dressed as a leprechaun? Trust me, it's very entertaining.

To everyone out there: Happy St. Patrick's Day!

On to the linkage:

• We're looking for more writers! If you think you've got the chops (and the mental fortitude to deal with our madness) then send us some of your brilliant writing samples!
• The corporate intrigue continues this week, with Microsoft giving Yahoo! some pointers on how good they'd be for Yahoo!, and AOL snapping up Bebo, which I hear is very popular in the land of green fields and limericks.
• My macroeconomics teacher somewhere is smiling: victorious, Blu-ray players have now gone up in price. The PS3 is still your best bet. Sony must really love this.
• GASP! An ISP actually worked to make P2P traffic faster and better?! And it's Verizon?! Mind. Blown.
• Microsoft tells us Windows 7 is coming in 2010. Honest!
• OMG TASERs to match your outfit!
• All is not roses in well designed vases in the land of Apple, as Apple stops customers from using their own gift cards.
• Hulu is now open for business to the world at large (if the world means the US only, sorry folks in other countries.)
• Mind reading collars! (I can indulge in fantastical sentences every once in while, give me a break.)
• Happy 10th Birthday, portable MP3 player!
• The Sharper Image tries to rectify the whole gift card fiasco - by screwing the people with gift cards. No wonder they're going bankrupt.
• NIN makes $1.6 million in one week by giving away their music. Yeah, it works.
• Just slip your mouse into my PC card slot, baby.
• Our gadget of the week, the MiniStation TurboUSB, comes with some Buffalo secret sauce for faster speeds. Yummy.
