Delta Passengers: Use Your Cell As a Boarding Pass at LaGuardia Airport!
Ever since I first heard about a man using his BlackBerry to check into a flight - he was running late and didn't have his boarding pass - I've been wondering if this was just a one-off instance, or if it was going to become a growing trend. According to RCR News, Delta Air Lines is now allowing passengers at LaGuardia Airport in NY to use their cell phone as a boarding pass. Domestic customers can now download their boarding passes to their phones via Delta's website and go directly through security rather than visiting check in (if you don't have bags to check).

State of Maine Gives MacBooks to Every Public School Student
How times have changed since I was in high school, when the only thing you got for free was a dented locker: The state of Maine has agreed to provide Apple MacBooks to every public school student, grades 7 through 12.
The Maine Department of Education has already ordered over 64,000 laptops for students and staff, to make Maine the first and only US state to ensure that every public school kid in middle and high school has a laptop to work on. The students are allowed to use the computers at school and take them home, but they have to return them at the end of the school year to pass to the next classes.

Stephen Moyer Works His Bod With the Wii and Gold's Gym
With HBO's True Blood coming back to our screens this Summer, it's only appropriate that Stephen Moyer would want to stay in shape. And given his affinity for all things Wii (well, on the show anyway), of course he's taking advantage of the newest cardio fitness game to hit the market.
Called Gold's Gym Cardio Workout, this game promises to give us a sweat-inducing, fat-melting workout, and Stephen was spotted getting an up-close and personal look at the game during a Wii fitness event held earlier this week in Southern California.
Geeks We Love: Mike Fahey of Kotaku
A man after my own heart, Mike Fahey is a game addict. Currently helping to hold down the East Coast office of Kotaku, and ripping through game after game so you don't have to, Mike is a man of many hats. He's been everything from an arcade attendant (totally expected) to a vinyl sign cutter (huh?), but still, his love for games made him who he is today.
