There’s really nothing special about the Yelp for Android app. Sure, it determines your location and tells you what’s around, but it doesn’t really leverage the location-aware technology like it should.

Times are tough and $1000 digital photo frames just aren’t flying off the shelves fast enough for Kodak. In not so random twist of fate, Kodak announced that they would be selling off their OLED business to LG.
“As we said earlier this year, OLED is one of the businesses we wanted to reposition to maximize Kodak’s competitive

It’s been just one week since world-famous golfer Tiger Woods got into a car accident due to his wife allegedly chasing after him with a golf club.
So of course there’s already an online game making fun of him for it (in addition to this ridiculous virtual re-enactment).
