I’ve clearly been living under a rock. Here are a few kick-ass things that I found while perusing the Internets this weekend. This may or may not turn into a weekly post and I welcome all of you to share with us what you found this weekend.
I love magazines, books and comics. I know they’re a waste of natural resources and …
In a rather long-winded story published by the WSJ tonight this week, a handful of new facts have been revealed about Apple’s purported iSlate/iTablet/iPad. You know, the one that’s supposed to be announced next Wednesday in San Francisco. I’ll save you the trouble of reading the whole thing because we’ve mostly covered it all on …
After some shipping issues, Techland has finally received review units of the Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus for Verizon Wireless. Both devices launch on the 25th of this month for $149.99 and $99.99, respectively. After a $100 MIR and 2-year contract, of course. The unlimited data plan for Verizon is $29.99. A unique and exclusive …
Love it or hate it – Twitter is here to stay. It’s managed to become invaluable for a number of reasons and if you haven’t already jumped on board, well, you’re actually missing out.

Internet darling Kevin Rose and Twitter co-founder/CEO/Chairman Jack Dorsey (among many others) have been toiling away at Square – an iPhone credit card payment app coupled with a peripheral.
