  Most fans ship. Some of them have a distinct ship that they like over all others, while some of them support several, sometimes contradictory, pairings. Some of them like to debate a pairing while keeping in mind its status in canon, while some of them discuss it believing their pairing IS Canon (or will inevitably be). Now throw in the power of the Internet to connect everybody (and everybody's opinions) with everybody else...

• 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."

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

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."
