I get press releases all day long from travel providers, and 99% of the time I spare you, my readers, from having to hear about them. They usually read something like, “New survey research discovers that X% of travelers say they want to get away for Y holiday, and Z is a great place to [Book Your Travel Online / Stay for a Romantic-Exciting-Fun Time / Waste […] - OpenGL 4.0 Comes Out To Play
TechCrunch
With Microsoft becoming increasingly marginalized in areas like mobile media, DirectX is becoming less of a must-use toolset and more of a gaming-specific one. The other side of the coin is, of course, the increasing relevance of standards like OpenGL, OpenAL, and OpenCL: powerful cross-platform systems for graphics, audio, and parallel processing. You may r […] - Street View in Northern Ireland

The Retroist
I recently became re-addicted to Tab, the first popular diet cola drink. Did you know they even still made Tab? Made by Coke, Diet Coke has pretty much blown it out of the fizzy, brown, too-sweet water since it was introduced in 1982, but Tab still has a hardcore fanbase that keeps it in production. (Less than 1 percent of all soda sold today is Tab.) Tweet […] - Four hot, sticky and sweet deals in New England this spring

TechCrunch
I handle a lot of mice in this job (right now I'm using the Mionix Naos 5000) and I have to say that if a mouse were, like the Magic Mouse, shaped completely wrong for human hands, I would throw it away and never speak of it again. Others, while perhaps more crafty, are far less principled, and will go so far as to fabricate a silicone crutch to rest th […] - Lent Madness: Aelred vs. John the Baptist
Clergy Family Confidential
The Round of the Saintly Sixteen begins with a smackdown of saintly contrasts: Aelred (who advanced against Anskar)vs. John the Baptist (who defeated Martin of Tours). Clean shaven vs. wild beard matted with locusts and wild honey. English monk vs. Biblical ascetic.

TechCrunch
If I were a spit takin' man, I'd do a spit take right now. Motorola, stalwart of freedom, will work with Chinese carriers to add Bing to Chinese Android-based phones, ousting Google Search and Maps from the scene. Now this isn't meanness on Motorola's part although Reuters notes that this move could have something to do with that whole Gr […] - The 20 greatest cities in the world for foodies

Cool Tools
There may be slightly better sounding or feature-rich PA systems in this price range, but nothing comes close to the outstanding portability of Fender’s Passport. It’s barely 30 pounds, and when it’s packed up and put together in its slick integral case no moving or delicate parts are exposed to scraping or damage. And since the case tapers at each end, it’s […] - Boyoyo Boys, "Back in Town" (Greatest Song of All Time of the Day)
Boing Boing
Everyone from Malcolm McLaren to Paul Simon heard something in South Africa's Boyoyo Boys that they wanted to appropriate. Their '80s records are lively and surprising, both original and emblematic of their time. You can hear where whole chunks of popular American music, from Graceland to Vampire Weekend, were born and raised. After listening to […] - CSM—‘Jihad Jane’: How does Al Qaeda recruit US-born women?
