I have been charged with taking the helm of the nightly roundups this week. Here&#8217;s some stuff that happened today (or over the weekend). Also a video that Marian suggested I use, so sure why not. It&#8217;s got Eliza Dushku, so how could I possibly say no?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"One Shot ft.

Comes back a few hours later. Unfortunate. But the fact that somebody thought people would pay $2.99 to rent that horrible video is kind of hilarious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple sued yet again. This time, over the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/230127\/apple_sued_by_icloud.html\">iCloud name<\/a>. Nobody is surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/news\/2011\/06\/1gbps-fiber-for-70in-america-yup.ars\">California ISP is offering 1Gbps Internet access for $70<\/a>. We were supposed to talk about this on the podcast, but we&#8217;re kind of useless sometimes. Sonic.net CEO Dane Jasper proves to be an awesome guy in general by personally taking part in online discussions about the company and <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/dane\/status\/79568034452353024\">tweets back at me<\/a> after I ask him a question. It makes me dream of a world where ISPs aren&#8217;t evil sacks of living feces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.joystiq.com\/2011\/06\/13\/3ds-finally-reaches-a-million-sales-in-japan\/\">Nintendo 3DS finally sells 1 million units after 4 months on the market<\/a>. To compare, the original DS sold that much in a month. But to be fair, that was during the holiday season and was a lot cheaper. The point, though, is that 3DS sales have been underwhelming thus far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apparently, l<a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/technology\/facebook\/8573340\/Facebook-usage-drops-in-Britain-and-US.html\">ess people have been using Facebook<\/a>. Data shows that the number of users has dropped from &#8220;a gigantic shit-ton&#8221; to &#8220;a slightly smaller shit-ton.&#8221; It is unclear whether that is in metric or imperial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our favorite artists, Sam Spratt, has been taking rage faces and doing some kind of <a href=\"http:\/\/samspratt.tumblr.com\/post\/6497538890\/forever-alone-evolved-by-sam-spratt-this\">artistic wizardry to them<\/a>. Curse him and his ridiculous talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kfor.com\/news\/local\/kfor-giant-300pound-structure-stolen-from-yard-20110610,0,5837246.story\">Some cruel person stole a 300 lb Tardis-inspired bus shelter<\/a>. The Master has yet to be called for questioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some time in the last few days, Facebook switched on email notification for people liking your posts\/comments. You&#8217;d be best to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/editaccount.php?notifications\">turn that shit off<\/a>. Unless you like having your inbox blown up, that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A technicality in a proposed anti-streaming law means <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdirt.com\/articles\/20110609\/23171814649\/people-realizing-new-anti-streaming-criminal-copyright-bill-could-mean-jail-time-lip-synchers.shtml\">you could potentially be prosecuted for lip-synching on Youtube<\/a>. Lawmakers once again prove that they don&#8217;t understand the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charge time is one of the major drawbacks to electric cars, but students at MIT hope to overcome that with a<a href=\"http:\/\/green.autoblog.com\/2011\/06\/09\/mit-students-develop-liquid-fuel-for-electric-cars\/\"> new form of liquid fuel<\/a>. Here&#8217;s hoping this takes off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On one last side note, Netflix changed the homepage layout and I don&#8217;t like it. That&#8217;s all for today. Sleep tight and I&#8217;ll see you lot tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dive into the weekend&#8217;s hottest headlines!
