There's no denying the fact that some sexy and stylin' cases for the Kindle 2 have emerged — have you seen the Cole Haan Patent Leather Case? But as with all new gadgets, there are some of us that just can't hide the goods when they are so shiny and new. If you want to keep your beloved Kindle protected from scratches and dust without hiding it away in a case, GelaSkins have some ultra thin protective skins which will cover the back of your Kindle.
This easy to apply skin provides a better grip to the back of the device and it can be removed without leaving a nasty residue on your Kindle. Keep in mind that it does cost $20 and you only get one skin, so probably only worth the investment if you really need it and you won't remove it (also if you are digging the design, hopefully, more styles to come).

Music made available on the Internet always seems to draw fire somehow, and unfortunately for the music obsessed across the pond, attempts to renew YouTube's license agreement with the UK's Performing Right Society have come to a fast halt. According to YouTube, the "PRS is now asking us to pay many, many times more for our license than before. The costs are simply prohibitive for us — under PRS's proposed terms we would lose significant amounts of money with every playback," and have since blocked all music videos in the UK until an agreement is reached.
Although I think it's fun to send old music videos to my pals, I don't really watch music videos anymore at all. Do you still get your music video fix from TV, or do you head for YouTube? Do you even care if music videos are on YouTube?
Our Cell Phone Evolution Series continues with a famous female that not only won the coveted cell phone obsessed celeb award for 2007, but 2008 as well!
I'm looking forward to seeing her flash her cell phones on the upcoming season of The Hills (airing April 6) but until then I have a slideshow, which traces her cell phone usage throughout the past couple of years and will tide us over until the season premiere.

Can you spout off gaming stats like a baseball fanatic? Do you know the best selling game of last year, or the most popular console of all time? If not, then you may want to pick up your own copy of the 2009 Guinness Book of World Records Gamer's Edition and keep up with gaming trivia. Available this week, the Guinness Gamer's Edition ($15) is a textbook of gaming facts that gives you a crash course on the history of gaming, includes interviews with record holders, lists of highest scores, and top games of the year.
So next time you're invited to a Guitar Hero party, you'll be prepared with the name, age, hometown, and stats of the highest GH scorer ever. Impressive? Indeed.
Are you a megapixel hoarder, just waiting for them to up the total in your next new digital camera? Well, exec Akira Watanabe of Olympus says that 12 megapixels is plenty — "enough for covering most applications most customers need."
I have to agree with him, especially that considering once you get to a certain point, the average person doesn't need that many megapixels, considering what most people end up doing with their photos.
I get wonderful quality out of the 6 of my little point-and-shoot, and beautiful, rich photos with the 10 of my DSLR.
I doubt this declaration will put any cap on the rising number though (megapixels being the high-thread count in the digital photography world), but now I'm curious — how many megapixels does your digital camera have? Do you want more?
I am a huge fan of Mint to help me keep track of my money, but another awesome option may be Buxfer, which allows you to see your financial situation (whether good or bad) at a glance. Like Mint, Buxfer shows you your recent purchases, gives you a pie chart so you can visually see where your money goes, view budgets, and gives you mobile access to your account.
But something unique to Buxfer will come in handy for those of you with roommates: you can set up group access to shared expenses and keep track of who owes what to whom. For example, if I buy groceries for the house, I can split the bill and list what my roommates would owe me so I (and they) don't forget later. Cause these days, who can afford not to get back what they are owed? Not me, that's for sure.
