Look, I'm not about to tell grown women what they can and can't have on their laptops, so here you go: the Hello Kitty laptop by Epson. Sure, I might advise you to just put Hello Kitty stickers on your laptop and save the extra money and trouble of buying a new one (although if Sanrio is working with Epson, I'd hope there'd be some sweet games built in at least), but I am officially not judging. After all, I'm finding it slightly more palatable than the Swarovski crystal-covered Hello Kitty laptop!
But if you do buy this laptop (available in Japan and currently about $1,400 with the exchange rate), I want to know what Hello Kitty crap is hiding inside!

Samsung has just unveiled its U940 Glyde for the Verizon network and its got all the features that you want and need in a cell phone. With a full QWERTY keyboard that conveniently slides away to make your phone a tiny handheld, you can easily type text messages and emails on this sweet touch-screen phone. Even better, Samsung has included GPS and a full HTML browser on the Glyde — making web surfing that much more enjoyable. Other great features include a 2-megapixel camera with flash and autofocus, a microSD slot, and Bluetooth. The phone is set to become available this week and will cost $250 on contract after a $50 rebate.
If you've been spending excessive amounts of time playing GTA IV this week, (and who hasn't — it has racked up $500 million and sold six million copies already), then you have come to know and love the GPS system that not only tells you where you are going, but tells you where the cops are once you've committed a crime! I, myself, have been known to shout out loud at my BF to "go the other way!" because of the 5-0 is on his tail.
So what if we could take the best part about Nico's GPS system and use it for ourselves before we get caught breaking the law? That's exactly what Speed Trap is for. To hear more about Speed Trap, read more
TIME magazine recently released its list of the top 100 most influential people and needless to say, comedian Stephen Colbert wasn't very happy with the results.

Colbert finally got Rain to show, and well. . . here's what happened!
