Newt Gingrich is 'really puzzled' by cellphones that take pictures and needs your help

Six years after the release of the first iPhone…and Newt Gingrich is still unaware of the word “smartphone”? I’m totally lost.

Microsoft wants an iTunes app for Windows 8, but it's not coming 'any time soon'

From a certain point of view, I can understand why Apple doesn’t want to write an iTunes app for the “Metro” interface Windows 8. It really boils down to two things. First, the “Metro” interface is still too young and it’s unclear as to how well-received it is. Second, developing for both the desktop and “Metro” interfaces can be expensive. Apple has been known to adopt new technologies early (ie. Thunderbolt) but only if they feel confident that the technology will be well-received and worth the risk. That isn’t the case with the “Metro” interface. As such, Apple likely feels that the time and money it would take to invest in a “Metro” version of iTunes isn’t worth it.  It’s kind of like building a modern web app that still works with Internet Explorer 6…except that the browser in question is brand new! Not a good sign for Microsoft’s new spangled OS.

Meet The 'Liberator': Test-Firing The World's First Fully 3D-Printed Gun

So, umm…how exactly do you regulate this? I’m a firm believer in a basic background check for any gun. If a person can just make their own then how do you regulate it? Does bring up lots of questions.

I hear Conservatives talk about the Constitution, American principles and values, and such all the time. Every time I hear it, it always bugs me. Problem is that, when it happens, I couldn’t tell you why it bugs me. Last night, John Stewart did a bit on the Daily Show that illustrates well the hypocrisy of the Right when it comes to the Constitution. It’s all in good humor. The worst part is what Ann Coulter said. When she said it, I nearly fell off my couch. Totally shocked me. You just can’t take that kind of stuff out of context.

Wealth Inequality in America

This is the real slippery slope we’re in. Stark reality of where our economy really is. Sad.

Norman Osborn found for Amazing Spider-Man 2

Have to admit, I’m actually ok with this casting choice. Willem Dafoe did a great job in giving us a version of Norman Osborn that worked well for a Sam Raimi movie. With the reboot, Marc Webb has an opportunity to ramp up the character and present a more realistic, hard core version of the Green Goblin. To do this, you really need to nail down Norman Osborn and give it to an actor who can fill the shoes of a seriously tortured soul. No doubt that Chris Cooper can do it. Go back and look at American Beauty and you’ll see what I mean. Looking forward to see the new flick!

US Department of Justice to join lawsuit against Lance Armstrong

I think the keyword here is “screwed”. Looks like Lance Armstrong has his hands full! Don’t think Oprah can rescue him from this mess!  Yikes!
