Voyager almost out of this solar system

Science – While Voyager has been closing in on the edge of the heliosphere for a while, NASA took a few minutes out today to release some new information about where they believe the true shock boundry lies. Turns out, the heliosphere doesn't appear to be circular, and instead is being impacted by outside magnetic forces.

iDont; Guerrilla marketing against iPod

Gadgets & Tech – The iPod is arguably the most popular consumer electronic device of this century, and now the haters are coming out in full force. iDont, a site and ad campaign sponsored by rival MP3 player manufacturer SanDisk, aims at curbing the iTrend by trying to make the hip feel trendy. Are iPods no longer hip? Could SanDisk dethrone the king? Doubtful, but the campaign is at least mildly entertaining.

Obviously, with the 11 pound heft of it, it\\\'s not that far of a stretch to fry food! Behold, the PS3Grill!
