Cosmo sure wasn't lying when they said that Apple stores are a great place to meet men. Last night PartySugar and I ventured out to San Francisco's main Apple store to test their theory. And let me tell you ladies, the place was swarming with men! We instantly noticed the insane guy to girl ratio, as well as the smorgasboard of "international" men. Brits, Germans, Japanese, Brazilian, French, Polish, it was raining men from all over the world. We certainly had our fair share of brow-raising events, including getting followed out of the store!

Brad Pitt's great and all, but over here on geek we care about another type of celebrity: The Internet Celebrity! Dorky as it may be, after I make sure that I check PopSugar for what's happening with the growing Jolie-Pitt brood, I also need to know what's happening with my YouTube founders, Google execs, harsh Wikipedia dumpings, etc. If you share the same sick interest, you'll be pumped to see the faces of DiggNation hosts Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht on. . . jars of loose tea?!
Yep, Digg founder Kevin and his cohost Alex have teamed up with Adagio teas to create custom blends like Mintastic and Executus (blood orange with sour apple). It's worth checking out just to see the digg-like ratings on the teas, and if you happen to both love tea and Kevin Rose (you're not really dating Julia Allison, are you, Kevin?).
Showtime's hit series Dexter, one of my pal Buzz's new faves, not only has been hanging out (with a little less blood) on CBS lately, but also has its own web series on YouTube dubbed Dexter: The Dark Defender. And soon you'll be seeing Dexter hitting the shelves, not only as each season's boxed set, but as a video game to boot.
Entering into a production agreement with Marc Ecko Entertainment, Showtime announced yesterday that it will be bringing the award winning (and totally awesome) series to your gaming console. To learn more about this video game, read more
With a handful of decent search sites out there, I often wonder what criteria people follow when selecting their search engine of choice. GiggleSugar and I were both in agreeance that we like the simplicity of Google's page and prefer it over ad and link-filled sites like Yahoo!, AOL, and MSN. However, I did happen to show her my pimped out iGoogle page, which is jam packed with gadgets and applications — and bright colors, naturally. But for some reason, since they are all features approved and selected by me (minus any ads), I like it just as much as the basic Google search page. What do you think? Is simpler always better or do you like checking out what the main site has to offer?
Last October, HP and MTV held a Global Design Competition where young designers were encouraged to submit their own laptop creations. With over 85 entries, the winning design went to Joao from Portugal, who now has his creation on a HP Pavilion dv2800t Artist Edition model. Gizmodo reports that the specs of this laptop aren't too shabby either, with a 14.1-inch screen and a Centrino processor, you can count on it for photo editing, playing games and watching movies. All this, and a matching messenger bag, for $1,130. What do you think? Does the design appeal to you?
With the budding blossoms of Spring comes nicer weather and inevitably more travel. If you are familiar with the friendly skies, the idea of surfing the web or watching your own movie while on a five-hour flight may not make up for long security lines, crappy airplane food, and the six inches between your face and the bald head of a sleeping passenger in front of you. Thankfully the peeps over at InsideTrip feel your pain, as well as the pain you may get in your knees from not enough leg room.
Where other flight search sites like Kayak give you the best rates, InsideTrip specializes in the creature comforts of flying. Want to know what I mean? Just read more
To bring you up to speed, the fate of Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles has recently been up in the air, as the show needed big ratings for its two part finale last night to keep it afloat. Although I've gone on record to say that T:SCC isn't my favorite show, I tuned in anyway to get my fill of cybergenetic action until it (possibly) returns. But truth be told, I really just wanted to play along with IO9's Save Sarah Connor Drinking Game. If you happen to see the story and are keeping up then you must be one hungover sci fanatic this morning!
When all was said and done, there were 41 swigs of beer and a whopping 20 shots to be had. Yeesh — talk about a headache! Maybe if the show comes back for another season, Fox could consider moving it to a weekend time slot. You know, so we can all play without worrying about going into work with a hangover! To see a full breakdown of my "swig and shot" tally just read more
