On Thursday, June 25, we not only lost Charlie's Angel star Farrah Fawcett, but the king of pop — Michael Jackson.

For many of us, the Michael Jackson news was so unexpected that we couldn't help but take to the Internet to see if the sad news was actually true. With fans flooding the Internet, sites like Google News were inaccessible at times, with many other sites having several outages to deal with an influx of traffic. On Twitter, many experienced the infamous fail whale, with hundreds of thousands of tweets being sent. How did you hear about the news? Were you online, watching TV, or listening to the radio?

As the world mourns the loss of this iconic man, our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family.

When Google Voice launched in March, it was only available to people who were already subscribing to the service Grand Central, the company that Google bought and turned into Voice (also a pain since getting a Grand Central account wasn't always easy).

Finally, though, Google Voice is now being opened up to anyone. Of course, you still have to request an invite, which I personally just did, because it just seems worth it for the free call management system (you get a single number that can ring multiple lines, an Internet-based voice mail system, and you can make Skype-like calls over the Internet).

It does seem like a lot of hoops initially, but I know a lot of geeks are lining up for Google Voice. Are you?

Have you been a Mac lover since the days of the Apple IIe, tapping out Oregon Trail with your chubby little fingers?

Then rock this Mac Daddy T-Shirt ($26) from Fred Flare — the soft blue tee flaunts a vintage Apple computer and will assure everyone who can see your shirt that yes, there was a day that you didn't right click.

This may say it's a men's tee and use the word "daddy," but shoot, I'm ordering a small and calling it a day.

Looks may be deceiving, but don't be fooled: I promise this is a sexier and sleeker version of the eGo drive I reviewed last year.

This much lighter, third generation, 320GB drive offers built-in antivirus software and an impressive rugged aluminum exterior that can withstand a 1.3 meter drop, which you know as well as I do is very important when you're lugging around a device that holds your important data.

Online, this puppy will cost you around $95, which is pretty affordable, considering I've heard of similar devices going for upwards of $150.

After a few months of use, I had some issues with my first eGo drive, so I was pleased to hear Iomega is offering a three-year warranty on the third gen drives. What really irks me, though, is that these drives are primarily built for PCs, not Macs. The included USB cord comes with a cord to plug into your drive and two attached USB cords to plug into your laptop. On many Macs, there are two USB ports (on opposite sides of the laptop), so plugging in both cords is practically impossible. Although your drive may be able to run with only one USB cord plugged in, it isn't sufficient power to experience the high-speed data transfer rates. And sadly, a powered USB bus isn't included, even though there is an auxiliary power port for it. So if you really want to use it on your Mac, you'd have to invest in one.

This is the midnight blue version, but it is also available in red, silver, and black. With the noteworthy upgrades from the last eGo, I think this eGo is worthy of four stars.

I already thought Whole Foods was pretty cool, but it has just gotten a whole (get it? tee hee) lot cooler with its latest free Market Recipes iPhone app. What can this app do for you? Well it not only caters to those with special dietary needs like low fat, vegetarian, or gluten free, but it will also whip up some recipe suggestions when you enter what ingredients you have on hand. And say you're really lost for dinner ideas, you can check out their yummy directory of favorite recipes. Want to find the nearest Whole Foods? It can tell you that too, with its online store locator.
