I need to get me some .sex!
ICANN just approved the creation of new top-level domains that are up to 64 characters in length. No more will the web be restricted to .com, .net, .org, .tv, etc. We’ll be able to have .seattle, .kingcounty, .iamfreakincool, etc. etc.
And of course there will be a run on .sex domains, .xxx, etc. Which is something [...]

Black Kids
They might be from Jacksonville, Florida but their new album doesn’t come to their home country for another month. They’re huge in the U.K.
Hope everyone enjoys their Friday and hopefully this catchy song starts the weekend out on a good note.

Eye-Fi Adds Geotagging and Hotspot Access
The folks at Eye-Fi have done it again with their next iteration of their brilliant memory card/wireless uploader combination. This time, with the release of the Eye-Fi Explore, they’ve added geotagging to the pictures you’ve taken.
At first glance I thought they’d managed to cram in a GPS unit into the super small card, which would [...]

Google Health
We first reported on this when it was in private testing a few months ago and then I made a brief reference to Google’s new medical venture in a Friday review not long ago. Here now are my thoughts on the new feature.
Google Health announces that it is “safe, secure, and free.” It will not [...]

A day early
I’m predicting tomorrow I’ll be too busy for any sort of Friday Review so, here it is on a Thursday. Enjoy!
Selling out: Remember those Netflix set-top boxes I mentioned the other week? Well, they’ve sold out of the entire supply. The maker of the device, Roku, says they “will need about two weeks to fulfill current [...]

Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
.nabbrtable{height:314px; width:300px; background-color:white; border:0px; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0;} .nabbrimg{margin:0px; border:0; padding:0px}

Eye-Fi Card Exposes Unsuspecting Thief
Engadget has a story about a woman who’s camera was stolen in Florida. What the thief didn’t know was that the SD card inside her camera was actually an Eye-Fi card. It’s a sweet piece of technology I myself own and enjoy using.

Starbucks and AT&T Team Up to Deliver Free (Sometimes Sort-of) Wireless

But essentially it boils down to this:
