- Red Sox change up road uniforms with head nod to the '80s
"The new road unis, you'll notice, look a lot like the ones that Al Nipper and Calvin Schiraldi rocked in the mid-80s. The lettering is blue instead of the more recent red and the logo on the sleeve really brings it all together. It's strange to think that something worn in the '80s now qualifies as a 'classic' look, but it's the truth." - Miley Cyrus Gets Mom's Old Porsche for 16th Birthday

JVC turns on the first 720p billboard in Times Square
Is bigger always better? JVC's new LED display in Times Square doesn't have the size of Walgreens or Toshiba (and lets be real, no one is touching Dubai) but it is the first one in proper 720p (1280x720) resolution, no scaling or head tilting...

The Most Popular Music of 2008: iTunes vs Last.fm
Mashable sez:
"Not surprisingly, the iTunes list is much more reflective of the pop charts, while Last.fm – a music discovery service – has some lesser known artists in its rankings. Interesting to note is the absence of hip-hop on the Last.fm list, and the lack of Country on both end-of-year charts. Coldplay, however, appears to be universally popular."

I found this fascinating quote today:
