This is Why You Can’t Get Your Hands on an iPad 2
Reuters is reporting that an analyst from Wedbush Securities said “We would not be surprised to see Apple sell closer to 1 million iPad 2’s in the opening weekend.” This is amazing for Apple since it took 28 days for the first iPad to reach 1 million sales. The iPad 2 went on sale at 5PM locally at Apple stores, Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Verizon Wireless and AT&T stores. Thousands and thousands of people lined up across the country to get their hands on one. Read the rest of this article…

Did Yahoo Just Sell Delicious?
The rumor mill is constantly churning and the latest is that Yahoo just sold Delicious for $5 million reports The Next Web. This doesn’t come as a surprise with the rumor in December that Yahoo was closing them down. Yahoo bought delicious in 2005 for between $15 and $30 million and now if they sold it they are loosing a hell of a lot of money. This also isn’t surprising since it seems that startups go to Yahoo to die. Does anyone still use Delicious or is it one of those sites that’s slowly dying off like Digg?

Homefront Launch Trailer is Here!
Oh snap! I don’t know about you but I’m excited about this game, so are my little brothers. I think it’s because the game makes you feel patriotic, kind of how Modern Warfare 2 did when you we’re going through the Pentagon and they had that unpleasant feeling like “oh hell no, not in my AMERIKA!” After the jump I included the first 17 minutes of the game in HD!

Stop Waiting for Chrome Notebooks, They’re Gone!
If you are still hoping that you will get a Google Chrome notebook you can stop waiting because they are now gone, sorry. I got one from the first shipment and haven’t used it as much as I would like. Nick got his about a month ago and his came with stickers (mine didn’t :( so Google if you read this can you send me some stickers). Well I just found out that they got 60,000 made and now they are finally out. So if you really want one you can buy one from eBay or just wait until Summer when they release better ones that will be available for a few hundred bucks at your local electronics retailer or online.
IE9 Launching March 14th, Who Cares?
Over at The Windows Blog they posted an update saying that the new Internet Explorer will finally launch on March 14th at 9pm PST. Oh and guess what? They are launching while they are at SXSW. Is that really the target audience that they want to get? I thought that everyone in the whole online biz hated IE? As much as I hate IE I will be happy if I don’t have to have separate style sheets to support it. I’m speaking like that because I still haven’t installed it on my computer, I already have IE6, IE7 and IE8, I don’t need another one…
