First Impressions: RescueTime
via PaulStamatiou.com by Paul Stamatiou on May 14, 2008

Given the popularity of FriendFeed, it’s surprising that we haven’t seen many memetrackers appear for the site. Today French developer Michael Mortchelewicz has unveiled FriendFeedLinks, which attempts to fill that void.Compared to other memetrackers like TweetMeme and RSSMeme, FriendFeedLinks has a very spartan interface. There are no summaries or discussions to speak of - just a link to...

Alien e-mail reply to arrive in 2015?
via Pink Tentacle by Edo on May 14, 2008
An “e-mail” message from aliens inhabiting the Altair solar system could reach Earth within 7 years, some astronomers suggest. The alien message would come in response to a radio-wave signal sent toward Altair 25 years ago by Japanese astronomer Hisashi Hirabayashi, who suggests we may receive a reply as early as the year 2015 if intelligent aliens received, decoded and responded quickly to...

Comcast buys Plaxo to make itself more socially viable
via VentureBeat by MG Siegler on May 14, 2008
After months of rumors, Plaxo, the social contact service, finally announced today that it is, in fact, being purchased by Comcast. Aside from Comcast, both Facebook and Google were rumored to be purchasing the service at one point. Of all of those, Comcast may seem to be the least likely suitor, but thanks to a deal the two already had in place, Comcast apparently it was time to take the...

Puzzle alarm clock demands more than mere wakefulness
via Boing Boing Gadgets by Rob Beschizza on May 14, 2008
Puzzle alarm clock: the simple, profoundly irritating idea at its heart is easy enough to guess, but why, then, is the puzzle itself so simple? It's a toddler's learning toy, a matter of bashing three shapes into the corresponding holes.

T-Shirts : Try Another Hole
via ThinkGeek :: What's New by (author unknown) on May 13, 2008
A good maxim for tech support or life in general.... The nice thing about computer ports is that there are only so many wrong options, so eventually the user's got to get it right. Unfortunately, the "getting it right" part doesn't usually happen until after they call you. We feel your pain. Price: $14.99 - $16.99
