| Scary Stuff: Harnessing Twitter Data Allows Mass Emotional Mapping Posted: 02 Oct 2011 07:00 AM PDT A report from a Cornell University research team has revealed that across the world, a standardized emotional rhythm runs our daily lives. So what kind of methodology did they use? Tweets, lots and lots of tweets. Like somewhere in the neighborhood of two million people across several dozen countries. The end result was published in the journal Science.

| Holy Cow! Google To Open Its Own Retail Stores Posted: 02 Oct 2011 06:00 AM PDT In London. Actually, a so called Chromezone has already gone live over at Tottenham and it’s primarily a hub for people to buy laptops. If you’re wondering how come you missed the launch, that’s because the Tottenham Chromezone only opened its doors on Friday. Plans for another store are already underway. Read more after the break. But take heed, the Tottenham establishment is rather small at the moment, like an experimental dip into the consumer space, perhaps suggesting a limited run. The real big colorful Chromezone’s are still in the planning stages.

| The Guy Who Behind The Flip Camera Now Into Grilled Cheese Franchise Posted: 02 Oct 2011 05:00 AM PDT Several years ago, the Flip video camera became such a huge hit it was acquired by Cisco for half a billion dollars. Sure, it made the guy who first marketed and founded the company behind the Flip rich, but it also guaranteed he had no more say in his product. Thus, the Flip isn’t as exciting as it once was. In fact, it’s gone for good. The big news now is Jonathan Kaplan is at it again in a whole different industry. He wants you to eat grilled cheese.

| AlphaDog Pack Robot Can Carry Enormous Loads Posted: 02 Oct 2011 04:30 AM PDT The story goes that in the early stages of the protracted Afghan war, U.S. special forces rented a donkey from a nearby village. Rather than carry them across steep mountain passess, the donkey was supposed to haul their extra gear. The problem was, when they got to the mountain, they realized they needed another one. What ensued was a moment of awkwardness.

| Ew! Be Traumatized By This iPhone-Android Make Out Video Posted: 02 Oct 2011 04:00 AM PDT This might be an abomination for partisans of either camp, but it is a fine testament to the make love not war mindset. Seen below is a very slight hint at what to expect from the riveting video. It’s really about what happens when both the Android mascot and an iPhone bring down their barriers and feel each other’s body heat. Warning: this could prove a little too racy for the blushing set.

| Game of Thrones RPG? Yes, Please Posted: 02 Oct 2011 02:27 AM PDT Apparently you don’t always need to be a huge developer with a string of AAA franchises to your name to secure the rights to an amazing IP. A gleam in your eye, a song in your heart and a happy-go-lucky attitude could serve in good stead, as first it did Chair Entertainment in 2010 with their Orson Scott Card collaboration and now Cyanide with not one, but two Game Of Thrones games.

| Posted: 01 Oct 2011 10:48 PM PDT Apple are holding their annual iPhone event next Tuesday, the 4th of October, where we are expecting to see the new iPhone 5, and we have also heard rumors of a new iPhone 4S. Now the guys over at Gizmodo Brazil, have obtained some exclusive photos of the iPhone 4S, and the photos come from inside Foxconn’s factory in Brazil, and the iPhone 4S features a different model number than we have seen previously of N90A.

| General Motors Developing New Type Of Front Center Airbags Posted: 01 Oct 2011 03:57 PM PDT There used to be a time when the catch phrase ‘What’s good for GM is good for America’ rang proud and true. Now it doesn’t seem to apply considering the sad depths Detroit has sunk. This doesn’t mean the great automakers are throwing in the towel despite repeated trouncings from foreign rivals. GM recently announced that it’s developing a new kind of airbag that goes poof from a different part of the car. Intrigued? More details after the jump.

| Weird Flying Carpet Experiment Makes The Magic Real (Video) Posted: 01 Oct 2011 03:53 PM PDT The truth is it’s not exactly a carpet that’s floating around a lab at Princeton. More like a plastic sheet that has an electric current running through it. The creation of a grad student inspired by a paper he read by some MIT prof, the footage of the experiment has since gone viral. Innovation at its best, ladies and gentlemen. Below is a fantasy stock image of a flying carpet, because the real footage (after the jump!) looks awful.

| Facebook In Big Trouble For User Tracking Posted: 01 Oct 2011 03:48 PM PDT The picture below probably captures best Mark Zuckerberg’s complete and total joy knowing he has the lives of millions in his hands. Not literally though, but on Facebook. This week, angry Facebook users from Illinois filed a lawsuit against the friending titan over alleged tracking. What makes the charges so controversial is the tracking took place after the users had logged out. Uh oh.

| For Some Reason, Google Goes Into Beer (Video) Posted: 01 Oct 2011 03:42 PM PDT Apparently, Google isn’t satisfied being the most diverse internet company in the face of the earth. Out of all the new ventures it could possibly embark upon (like finding a habitable planet in a galaxy somewhere), it decides to partner with a distinguished brewery and produce beer. Whoa, what?

| Rumors Swirling Of Alibaba Group’s Yahoo Purchase Posted: 01 Oct 2011 03:33 PM PDT In hindsight, maybe firing their CEO wasn’t such a brilliant idea after all. See, Yahoo has this special kind of reputation in the technology scene that may not be too rosy, but despite that, it truly is a valuable asset. Or is it? It must be, since a lot of big names have been lining up to buy the search engine. The latest from the grapevine hints no less than the Alibaba Group headed by Jack Ma (that’s him smiling below) is going to make a bid.
