That Guy Smells Just Like a Whopper!
Burger King is now selling a men’s body spray, “Flame” that makes them smell like flame broiled meat. I appreciate their out of the box thinking (fragrances are not usual fair for a fast food chain) but who wants to smell like that? I’m waiting for the first lawsuit over a “Flame” induced dog attack.

Is the PS3 Dying?
Google re-defining net neutrality it seems to me. Yahoo adding third party apps to Yahoo mail. By 2020 most of the net surfing will be dominated by handsets. Har. I think not. Is the PS3 dying? Some think so. Twitter chooses Google not Facebook. Half of women surveyed would give up sex in favor of the Internet. Better sex there perhaps? Netbook promotions. Microsoft losing some sales folks no thanks to recent hire. Why should Intel do batteries? It’s crazy. FCC postpones meetings on free Internet. Samsung doing 8-megapixel phone.
