Lots of lessons learned on last night's episode of The Hills! Stephanie and Audrina realized that band boys are major players and Lauren learned that mixing business with pleasure may not be the smartest thing to do. I loved the cameo by Heidi's dad Bill (who regularly dropped the word "shotgun" to keep Spencer in line) and it looks like wedding bells will be ringing soon in an upcoming episode for Heidi and Spencer. Sadly, the episode didn't deliver in the tech department, but I've got a few questions for this week's tech quiz! And don't forget to check out CelebStyle for all of the fashion trends from the show!

Here's one for anyone who's ever thought up a video game they'd love to see produced — it can happen! If you're an influential Hollywood director, anyway.
Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg loves the Wii and its ability to get his children off the sofa, but he wasn't satisfied with all the game offerings — so he teamed up with Electronic Arts to create his own game.
Boom Blox Bash Party (say that three times fast) is a block-destroying puzzle game that's good for all ages, but still looks like the fun and production value are high enough for the likes of me.
The game is out today and if you end up liking it, more good news: this is the second game of Spielberg's two-game deal with EA, so you can also check out the first, Boom Blox.

Dear geeksugar,
I use three computers. I have a desktop with all my old data, a laptop for home use and a work computer. Over the last couple of years my music library has spread across all three machines. How do I sync my iPod up with them all without losing my playlists and having to start all over?
Thanks,

There are still a couple more months before the Beatles come to
Rock Band, and it's exhilarating not only because HELLO IT'S THE BEATLES (huge fangirl over here), but also because the legendary quartet's music has not always been friendly with modern tech — namely, the major dramz between the Beatles and iTunes. Will the
Rock Band game finally open the door for the Beatles' music to be widely available digitally? Who knows, but in the meantime, take a look at the long and winding (tech) road we've been on with them so far.
I can't help but feel sorry for those that haven't been exposed to the wonderful world of Netflix — the convenience, the price, and the excitement of getting one of those little red envelopes in your mailbox. I'm totally a Netflix junkie, and because of my obsession, I've picked up some useful tips that I wanted to share with you!
In last night's predictably unpredictable season finale of Gossip Girl, more than one bomb went off, but my faves were the relentless blasts from Gossip Girl herself, even if we didn't get to learn her identity. This episode was full of tech treats (maybe to salve the wound that is a Summer without the show?) so to see how well you paid attention, take my quiz!
