Did you blink during the Super Bowl commercial breaks? Too bad if you did, because it means you may have missed the anemic number of gadget or tech-related commercials worth talking about tomorrow at the water cooler. But! Megan Fox! More »
A small, but interesting note: Apple's published an "App Store Tip" for developers that it'll reject apps which "use location-based information primarily to enable mobile advertisers to deliver targeted ads based on a user's location." It's not to protect you.

Have you guys heard?! Comcast's brand is so irreparably tainted by their horrible service, they're changing it to Xfinity! Yes, Xfinity. Hilarious! Let's help them transition by making some ads for them.
