Well, he has already beat Lance Bass in my book: Google cofounder Sergey Brin has put up $5 million to reserve a seat to space! I guess if I was worth about $18 billion dollars, I'd make my way to space eventually, too (after Fiji, all of Europe, Antarctica, you know).
Being a long-time Sergey-lover, I'm more concerned with who will be sitting in the seat next to him (all relationships notwithstanding) because between him and his other Googler, Larry Page, I'd pick Sergey every time. Who would you pick to fly you to the moon?
The Rio Hotel and Casino's iBar is set to get six Microsoft Surface tables for guests to play games, flirt, send messages to each other, and order drinks. . . . Considering this is a product of the 21st century, why does the video look so eighties?! — Switched
Palm has just announced the cobalt blue Centro on the Verizon Wireless network that will go on sale tomorrow. — Engadget
Sega Toys has revealed their new humanoid robot in Japan, which stands 38cm tall and can sing and walk "like a lady." It's said to cost $175 and will go on sale September 26. — CrunchGear
The new and improved Firefox 3 will be released June 17. And supposedly Mozilla is going to try to break a world downloading record that day. — Lifehacker
I fell in love with Redmaloo's laptop sleeve because of the way it folded and wrapped around your laptop, instead of a traditional sleeve that you have to slip in and slide out.
At the airport, I think this would make a world of convenient difference, since you could put it and its case down in the security bin, and then just velcro it open and closed. The dealbreaker for me, though, is the $130 price tag.
Luckily, I found a great alternative at Urban Outfitters: The Livity Wrap Sleeve — currently on sale for 20 bucks! It doesn't sport the aesthetically-pleasing, solid-colored felt of Redmaloo, but it's cute enough to do what I want it to. And it's green — made of organic cotton, hemp, and recycled polyester!
Are you unhappy with your job and about to launch a full scale attack on your local classified section? Then maybe you should check out Glassdoor first, before sending that resume.
What is this Glassdoor I speak of? Well, the info junkies that brought us Expedia and Zillow have announced their new venture, dubbing it the TripAdvisor for companies. But instead of ranting about your dingy hotel room and airline customer service, you can rate your company, your boss, CEO, and post your salary info anonymously. . . giving us all an honest insight to what is actually lurking behind those cheerful interviewers who tell you what a great working environment X Company provides. You knew something was off when she didn't blink for two whole minutes!
Who would have thought that this exact (but in pink!) Judith Leiber cupcake evening bag would have such a significant role in the Sex and The City movie.
First of all, Charlotte's adorable Lily answers Carrie's Swarovski crystal encrusted phone and puts it in this bag and then walks off with it. And then Big keeps trying to call Carrie, but her phone is held captive in this cupcake — therefore I'm blaming their (spoiler alert!) failed wedding round one on this jewel-encrusted $4295 bag.
I know I'm not the only one whose dad still laughs at whoopee cushions. If yours is too, and he's a geek, then check out this selection of gifts for Father's Day — gifts for the goofball dad! My problem is which one I'll choose. . . talking teepee or peeing beer server? Check them out and tell me which one makes you laugh the hardest!
I love being able to do my banking online, in the comfort of my home and mainly away from long line-ups at the bank. Unless I absolutely have to, you're rarely ever going to see me stepping into a bank.
A new study shows that 51 percent of Internet users in Canada and the US are now paying at least one monthly bill online. Unlike back in 2004 when only 33 percent were doing so. I guess more people are stepping up with the times, saving trees and putting their good ol' Internets to work!
