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.

NYC's Taxi TV: Might Be Annoying Unless Gossip Girl Is On
I'm bummed that I didn't get to experience Taxi TV when I was in New York — the service, though described by this New York article as annoying and wearing on city's taxi-taking populace, actually sounds pretty cool to me, aside from the apparent high volume and constant ads.
If you could get into the cab and pick what you wanted to watch, rather than be imposed upon by what Taxi TV chooses, I think it'd be awesome — most short cab rides would probably be only enough time for like four really funny jokes on 30 Rock, but whatever. How do you feel about Taxi TV, New Yorkers?
Gossip Girl Tech Quiz: Episode Three, "The Lost Boy"
In last night's dramatic episode of Gossip Girl, there was champagne and celebration mixed with deception and drama amongst our favorite Upper East Siders. We learned that Scott is actually a love child from Lily and Rufus, Chuck is diving into the hotel business, and Serena is making a go of it with Carter (who I'm going to nickname "Cheating Carter"). Whether it's texting or talking on their cell phones, these New Yorkers always have their gadget gear close to them.
How I'd Wire Serena van der Woodsen For Brown
The kids of Gossip Girl aren't really kids anymore, as they're about to embark on their first years at college. I'm having fun imagining how I'd outfit them for gadgets and accessories — Blair Waldorf's wiring kicked me off, and now I'm turning to the California casual New Yorker Serena van der Woodsen.
S is headed to Brown University (though I have a feeling that won't last, with all her friends staying in the city for school), and it's been hinted that her bohemian nature will be out in full force.
Match.com Posts Fake Profiles, Man Sues For Humiliation
One of the reasons some people are wary of online dating is that people tend to stretch the truth when describing themselves. Perhaps you can build up a BS detector for embellishments of electronic personalities, but what if the dating prospects were not even real?
That's what happened to New Yorker Sean McGinn, who's suing dating site Match.com for keeping around profiles of former users so that it would look like the site had far more romantic prospects than it did.

Would You Stand in Line for a Gadget?
macgirl's comment about the iPhone 3G yesterday made me think: Yes, I love the excitement of the lines that form when a new, hot gadget is released, but would I stand in line for one, otherwise? It's pretty discouraging when you realize that you can walk in the very next day and wait in no line to get your new toy!
Last year, I loved the energy of being caught up in downtown San Francisco, right outside of the Apple store: the countdown of the doors opening, the employees cheering you into the store, the first customer emerging victoriously with his iPhone!
Top 10 Most E-Mail Addicted Cities In The US
The folks over at Switched inform me that AOL just completed a massive survey on e-mail usage throughout the United States, which polled residents of the country's top 20 markets. The results? While teens may think e-mail is so 1999, there are many adults (and teens) who are in need of a little e-mail detox.
Man Trapped in Elevator Video Becomes an Internet Hit: But Why?
I'm sure you've probably seen this video already, since it's been spreading on the Internet like a wildfire, but if you haven't, here's some background info to bring you up to speed. On Friday October 15, 1999, Nicholas White went outside for a cigarette break while working in New York's McGraw-Hill building (it was 11pm on a Friday). On his way back, the elevator stopped, and he was trapped for 41 hours.
How The Robot Parking Garage Works
The question "would you trust a robot to park your car?" came up last month and brought up some serious conversation. On one hand, robots like the EverR-2-Muse, the world's first entertainer robot, are amazing.More on GeekSugar
