Since the Rickrolling phenomenon began, I’ve always found it to be funny as all get out. There’s something simultaneously diabolical and impish about the bait and switch tactic that has always put a smile on my face. It’s kind of like a cue to stop and smell the roses, especially when Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi decides to get a piece of the rickroll action. More »

Is the iPhone falling behind? That’s the question that is running through many of our minds at this point. With the release of the new Droid, its obvious that other phone manufacturers are capturing the mesmerizing features of the iPhone UI into their own.

People, language, dim sum, pink digital HD camcorders — it’s like China is IN my brain waiting for the next GirlyBubble thought to be born. Looking at this super awesome pink digital HD camcorder from Chinavasion, my only thought now besides, “OMG! HAVE! WANT! NEED!” is why can’t pink be a communist color instead of red? More »

From Girlybubble: If Audrey Hepburn had an iPhone, I doubt she’d Holly Golightly when it comes to Swarovski crystals on her iPhone case. Hepburn being ever-so-much the iconic figure for beauty and class, would most likely own an Audrey Charm faceplate. Could we blame her for picking a decorative tech/gadget frame line named after herself? More »

Usually I’m not a fan of digital photo frames. They were cool when they came out, a functional way to do something with those hundreds of photos you’d taken but never had the initiative to get put on a disk or get printed. As time’s gone by companies have felt the need to slap on more and more features including radio and a dedicated weather center to make their product stand out in the crowd. More »

So I posted yesterday about how The Beatles are putting their entire record library onto an apple shaped USB for $279. As I was navigating the blogosphere, I saw Wired’s article about BlueBeat.com, a previously unknown music site that has been selling The Fab Four’s tuneage without their permission. As I read it, a line from Jay-Z’s “Friend or Foe 98″ kept playing in my head: “But I was like “Nah”, Homes had to know he was wrong. And if you caught me on the foul know you would sing me the same song.” More »
