Google Images Adds Millions of Historic TIME Magazine Photos
One thing that upsets me about Google Images is the fact that it's sometimes difficult to find older photos — hey, the Internet is only 39 years old. Google is trying to change this by hosting millions of photos from the LIFE photo archive from the 1950s and onward. Search various categories like people, places, events, sports, and culture or add "source:life" to any Google image search to only search the LIFE photo archive.
Geeky Proposals: Awesome or Kinda Lame?
What girl wouldn't want a memorable marriage proposal? But popping the question on a Jumbotron or hiding the ring in a dessert is so 10 years ago. In these days of love 2.0, you gotta be more creative and a lot more tech savvy.
Could You Give Up Print Magazines For Digital Editions?
Digital editions of magazines are nothing new, although it feels pretty momentous to hear that prestigious magazine The New Yorker is launching its digital version, with all of the content being made free to its print subscribers.
Here's the thing — I'm a magazine junkie. I subscribe to so many magazines, I can barely get through them all in a month.
What Mashup Site Would You Love?
There's no doubt about it mashup sites provide a unique and pleasurable website experience by combining services of two sites into one. For example, Flickrvision is a mashup site that displays the pictures people across the world are posting on Flickr on a map, while MapsKrieg.com combines Google Maps and the housing listings on Craigslist.org.
This week, Wired Magazine's Alt Text blog put out a ploy for more innovative mashup sites that would help trim our bookmark menus by combining popular domains.
Do Geeks Make Better Lovers?
Wired Magazine's in-house sex drive expert Regina Lynn has come up with a hilarious The 10 Real Reasons Why Geeks Make Better Lovers post which kills the "geeks make better lovers because they're worried they'll never get anyone else" stereotype. It's NSFW, which is why I figured Saturday was the perfect day to share. My favorite highlights include:
Geeks get personal with tech - All engineers may be geeks, but not all geeks are engineers.
Best Geek Bars In US, According to Wired
This month's Wired Magazine features a list of the top six geek bars in the US that can't be missed if you're a bar-going geek. While the concept of a geek bar excites me to no end, I do worry the crowd at such places is slightly more likely to use pick up lines like "you make me want to upgrade my Tivo" and "by looking at you I can tell you're 36-25-36, which by the way are all perfect squares." Just a guess.

Paris Hilton Gets a New Cell Phone Every Two Weeks
During a pretrial hearing for failing to promote the movie Pledge This!, US Magazine goes into how Paris Hilton (who we already know is no stranger to technology), pulled out all of the tech excuses, which included saying she used Google as a way to keep track of business meetings.
Paris also went on to blame missed calls from producers on her lost cell phones. She says:
With my phone I never know, because I lose it all the time.
The Kindle DX Has Landed
This morning in NYC, Amazon's founder and CEO Jeff Bezos officially announced the Kindle DX, the larger-screened (9.7 inches large) wireless reading device. Unlike the Kindle 2 (which holds up to 1,500 books), this bad boy can be filled with 3,500 books with its 3.3 GB of memory. It also features an auto-rotating screen, a built-in PDF reader, and the battery life is said to last four days with wireless on and two weeks when it's off.
