This is just too good.. Seriously, what will they think of next?

Etsy has started selling a Cat5 style his / hers wedding band set for geeky couples. My wife would kill me if I bought her one, she knows I’m a geek, and she’s pretty geeky herself - but in total denial.

I could also see making some sort of necklace like this, as well.

Watch out though -they retail for $175!

More…(Gizmodo, Gadgetell, DVICE)

I heard this story on the radio today, and thought it was quite funny.

Some guy named Bernie Peng, spent an entire month reprogramming his girlfriend’s favorite game (Bejewelled). When she reached a certain point level it showed a special wedding proposal screen and a ring.

Awestruck at what he’d done she of course said yes.

Popcap the makers of the game were impressed by this love story and as a wedding present flew the lovebirds to Seattle, for their honeymoon, where I’m betting there was quite a bit of Dungeons and Dragons to be had.

Not only that Popcap also gave away 250 free games to those at the Wedding Reception, pretty nice huh?!

Apparently the four biggest internet companies are at it again, everyone would love to be google, of course google would love to acquire everyone else.

Microsoft wants yahoo to be their love child, but Yahoo is like, I dunno Aol is kinda cute, and I might be crushin’ on google too.. I think we could make cute babies.

Here’s a short overview from Mashable:
Here’s a very short recap of the internet love rectangle story so far. Microsoft bids for Yahoo; Yahoo wants more money; Google doesn’t want the deal to happen; Microsoft reiterates their bid; Yahoo still wants more money; Yahoo considers closing an advertising deal with Google; AOL and Yahoo consider merging.
While the community at large is thinking what does Yahoo see in Aol, and for that matter why does Microsoft want Yahoo? It’s all one big convoluted love triangle.

The winner though in this menage tois, in my opinion is probably Google, they’re not in “love” with anyone, and stand less likely a chance of getting their heart broken.

The problem one blogger noted was that everyone wants to be google, but they are trying to do it using big business practices, when Google is google, because they are different, they do things differently and that’s how they came to be where they are. Until the old business mindset is lifted, none of the other internet giants will be able to rise to the level of Google. Plain and Simple.

Today is a great day, at hearing about Microsoft’s demise / acquisition, Apple is throwing a farewell party to Bill Gates(May he rest in…well…whatever…)….

If you haven’t heard, he committed suicide when The Ceo of Microsoft jokingly agreed to sell Microsoft for $1 Trillion Dollars, Google - capitalized on the statement by taking them up on the offer, and wrote them a check on the spot.

Long Live GOOGLE-Soft!
Apparently, the CEO of Microsoft told the Google CEO, “Ha - we will sell you our company for 1 Trillion Dollars!”, adding: “yeah, right” under his breath.

This was all in jest, and a joking manner, however it was also on live television, and Google’s CEO immediately pulled out a checkbook and wrote a check for $1 Trillion Dollars. Bill Gates, at hearing the news crapped his pants.

Apparently Microsoft under-estimated the Search Engine giant, citing that they had no idea Google had
that much money available.

On a related note - Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, on hearing the news, tracked down the CEO of Microsoft, and shot him point blank with a .22 revolver, before ending his own life, ironically he couldn’t shoot himself, so he took a PC, filled a bathtub and took a bath with a Personal Computer. Ironic because it is his company that helped put a computer in just about every household in America.

I’m curious what we do now, since Google, now owns the whole internet / computing world, pretty much.
Talk about a big Monopoly. What are your thoughts on the matter?

Lasers may Revolution the way data is passed on Computers, replacing wires completely.
Sun has begun research on a new computing technology that may or may not even be possible.

Currently, there are thousands of small wires that run along the motherboard and other cards that are used in computers.

Those wires are a lot of what causes a computer to run slow, and need time to think.

Sun is researching a method of using lasers instead of wires, this could theoretically speed up computers by 10000x after all what’s faster than the speed of light?
Moore’s law states in laymen’s terms that technology basically doubles every two years, (in technical terms, it states that the # of transistors that can be inexpensively put on a circuit board doubles every 2 years)…

The reason I bring that up is that with this new technology, which they say has a 50% chance of failing altogether - they are boasting that it would destroy Moore’s law.

I personally think it’s pretty cool, probably wouldn’t show up in personal computers for 5-10 years, if it’s possible, but the speed would be pretty amazing.
