Some of you thought I was crazy for waiting in line six hours for a cell phone, but when you get that rush, that feeling of pure satisfaction and joy when a shiny and new gadget is in your hands, it's well worth the wait and then some. The long-awaited iPhone 3G launch in SF has come and gone and here are a few of my memorable moments from that lonnng day which will go down in history with last year's exhilarating iPhone launch day.
After compiling over 20 million of your votes, the 2nd annual PopSugar 100 is finally here! To help celebrate tomorrow's announcement of the PopSugar 100, and her debut on the list, we're bringing you this exclusive interview with Lauren Conrad!
It's been a huge year for LC; between her friendships, fashion line, and hit TV show, this starlet is bigger and better than ever. We had a chance to catch up with her and talk about love, happiness, food, fitness and just about everything else. Check out our interview across the network and be sure to be back tomorrow to see where she lands and see the rest of the list!
We already knew that Lauren was cell phone obsessed, but thanks to the interview, we learned a couple more tech tidbits about her!
PS: Are you a Mac girl or a PC girl?
LC: Both actually, mostly PC but I like Macs to edit photos or art.
PS: Do you ever Google your dates?
LC: Yeah, all of them! But I don’t believe everything I read though. I Google pictures to see ex-girlfriends and stuff, ha ha.

Many of you are like me and put your DVD collection out on display, so I don't think many of you find your home tech - TVs, computers, speakers - unattractive, but still, many people like to hide these things behind closed doors.
I love it when gadgets end up enhancing your interior, but I also think it's cool when people figure out a way to keep a TV from interfering in their "look" — receding paintings, armoires with doors, curtains. And I've always been a fan of secretary-style desks, where your laptop can hide inside a little desk. I don't hide anything, but I'd consider something like this hutch from Pottery Barn to break up the visual noise.
What about you, do you hide any of your home technology?
Yes, that Commodore 64 you've got gathering dust in your garage does qualify as vintage geek, but it lacks a certain je ne sais quoi. That is, it's not cute enough to put its quirky obsolescence on display.
Want something that can? Check out this beautiful vintage speaker, rescued from its Belgian decay, to add some vintage geek decor to your life.
You may have to be a serious antique geek collector, because this old guy costs $450, but each vintage speaker is unique, and will never blow out, either.
Guess which celeb was out and about in New York City the other day, chatting away on her BlackBerry Curve? She certainly isn't a regular on Match the Celeb With the Cell Phone, so I can't say if she has always been a BlackBerry kinda girl! Any idea who it is? Scroll down to leave your answer!
