These two star-crossed lovers seemed to be doomed to a world just friendly-flirting.

In a very unsurprising move, Yahoo!
finally announced that they will . Instead they are asking their users to move on over to their other photo service Flickr.
While most of the planet is moving to electronic currency, .
They introduced a coin that is worth US $1,000,000. This could end horribly, as I visited an arcade in Vancouver once, and put in what I thought was quarter after quarter into the game. Only to find out later that they were dollar coins.
U.S. Soldiers can breath a sigh of relief.
The Army said , and that you don't have to get blogs and emails approved before sending them out.
For those of you who get overwhelmed with printer cartridge purchases, HP has you in mind. in order to express whether you're buying standard, value, or specialty ink.

Best of all mdash;as if owning a Battlebot wasn't cool enough mdash;it's only going to cost you $300 or best offer!
And if you know CL, that means people are lowballing him left and right with emails like "I've only got $235, can I pick it up tomorrow?"

Stick a rose into this Outline Vase by designer Yuko Tokuda, and you've suddenly got yourself a first-class sight gag.
Even though your mom may not be a big fan of , she still might dig a nice little piece of design like this.
The short one's $34 and the tall one is $48. And keep in mind, you still have plenty of time to get ready for Mother's Day on May 13, still more than a week away.

's back from vacation, and this week, he's taking a look at high def hard drive camcorders (or, HDHD camcorders), marveling at the gadgets that giving your boring home videos the same picture pizazz as professional HD content. In his words, the picture is "sharp enough to slice a tomato." And your goofy dad will never tape over old content ever again because he accidentally hit rewind bfore hitting record.
He tests the recently announced HDR-SR7 and the JVC Everio GZ-HD7, ultimately preferring the Sony's more stabilized shot, better battery life, and more grainy but detailed low light picture. The Everio's 3 chips, one for red, green, and blue, didn't do a damn thing for visual quality.
What's cool is that both cameras can get HD content onto standard def DVDs (even though you can't play them back in most DVD players).
The Sony solution works on Sony Blu-ray players and the PS3. JVC has a proprietary burner that only plays back the JVC discs in HD, for $400. Sounds like a pain in the ass.
Pogue also has a list of posted on his blog. Worth a read.
Video review of the cameras, post jump.
These two pieces of have magical properties thanks to nanotechnology: apparently they can help prevent the flu, protect against smog, shield against pollution and attract beautiful women, who will feel an irresistible desire to hug anyone who wears them.
Never mind that this last extraordinary feature will be clearly balanced by the fact that you will be wearing a silver nanoparticle-coated gold-colored dress, with anti-bacterial and anti-stain powers. Or the fact that women may not appreciate your accurate explanation on how your palladium nanoparticle-dipped jacket gives you Deadly Gases Protection: +43.
Although , it's "one of the first times that nanotechnology has entered the fashion world", according to fiber science assistant professor Juan Hinestroza at Cornell University. "Fashion world" means that, if you came here looking for the hot chicks with golden spandex leggings, you will get to the right place by jumping now.
Although this new patent by may not make it into , it probably means we're going to get some new features sometime in the near future.
If you can remember back to last year's , where the multi-desktop "Spaces" feature was demoed, you won't be that surprised when you see where Apple's going with this.
The patent shows a cube with Dashboard widgets on each side, being shown as the cube rotates. The cube doesn't have to be a cube mdash;it can be any 3D shape.
This, combined with Spaces, should give the user a feeling of having much more room to maneuver than he actually has.
Other stuff revealed in the patent have to do with Dashboard organization and configuration, so you can take a look at that if you're a big fan of widgets. Or patent drawings.
Here's an unusual angle on timekeeping that tickles our techno-lust for , and this one's a twisty, affectionately known as the . Its two cylindrical segments revolve around, giving you approximate times of day rather than sticking to that pesky precision to which we've grown so accustomed.
This is a truly odd design which looks like a pipe coming up out of your desk, but gives you a quick answer when someone asks what time it is: "Well, it's about three," you'll say.
We're thinking it's about time somebody came up with a unique clock design like this one. Too bad that uniqueness comes with a $160 price tag.
