While the rest of the world is decorating their phones with gems that look like cake icing, some people are adding a little hearty, wooden sound to their gadgets. The l.dear Wood Speaker has been making its way around the tech blogs this week and causing quite the ruckus. The 1.5 inch speaker can connect to your keychain and has a wooden case and a rechargeable Li-Polymer battery. It was designed to work with cell phones and small gadgets, like the DS Lite or PSP. I can just see school girls abusing their speaker phone powers with this one and letting everyone's secret crush secrets out through the wooden airwaves. Want to see other photos? read more
In the hilarious Oscar nominated movie Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, Borat (played by Sacha Baron Cohen) is a TV personality from Kazakhstani TV who is sent to the United States to report on all aspects of American life. At the very end of the movie he says this funny quote about the iPod: "My neighbor Nushuktan Tulyiagby is still assholes. I get iPod, he only get iPod mini. Haha! Everybody know it for girls!" The iPod nano might not hold as many songs as the 30 or 80GB iPod, but we all know that they aren't only for girls!

My Buzzsugar spy tells me that in this scene a tech wiz teenager is zoned out and playing with this wild futuristic toy of some sort by just staring at it and flickering his fingers. As far as we can remember, there’s no mention of what it’s called or what the game is or anything. He’s just completely absorbed in it with half-closed eyes and his dad tells him to take his pills. Yes, it's one of those moments and it kind of makes you wonder...what will my world be like in 2027? For more photos, just read more

Yes she did it again! Britney made a quick escape from rehab for the third time in the past two weeks with her most cherished belongings - one of her many dogs, her lighter to support her bad habit, and her BlackBerry 8700, the main accomplice in the text message K-Fed break up.
