Kevin Rose Sets Up Lame Home Theater System (Verdict: BURIED!)
As any good tech aficionado, Kevin Rose has put together his new home theater system all by himself. Unlike a good rich tech aficionado, however, Kevin Rose has set up quite a humble setup, spending just around $9,040 on it. Honestly, given his worth, I was expecting a Sony Death Star projector and a full Kaleidescape rack. Instead, we got this suburbia setup, complete with setup videos:

Kevin Rose Eats Funny Red Pills Again, Predicts iPhone 3G
After being absolutely wrong wrong wrong (WRONG) about the first iPhone, Digg's Kevin Rose has now settled down for the obvious: he says that the 3G version of the JesusPhone will have a camera on the front for video-conferencing with other 3G iPhone and Macintosh iChat users. Most probably, he is right about this, but not about the rest of his predictions:

Google Takes a Lesson From Digg?
Taking a lesson from Digg and similar sites, Google Labs is testing out a new reader response interface for search results (with only a select few users for a limited time). Essentially, your normal search results are enhanced with "like it" and "don't like it" buttons that would tweak the order of said results on your list. And you can also add URL results that you would have liked to receive given your search premise. Google explains:When you search for the same keywords again, you'll continue to see those changes. If you later want to revert your changes, you can undo any modifications you've made.But your poor tastes/opinions won't screw everyone. More »

busted!
The Geek Squad, Best Buy's tie-wearing, Beetle-driving, and now porn-stealing tech group, was caught transferring pornographic images from a customer's machine. The sting was orchestrated by The Consumerist, who give a play-by-play of how they set it up. Check it out, it's work safe. Be sure to give it a Digg while you're at it, each one here goes straight to the Consumerist. For shame, Geek Squad! (You're not supposed to get caught!) [The Consumerist]

Breaking: Digg Riot in Full Effect Over Pulled HD-DVD Key Story
The power of Web 2.0 is in full effect over at Digg, where users are revolting over Digg's decision to pull a story (that netted over 15,000 diggs) and reportedly boot a user for posting the HD-DVD AACS Processing Key number, which would allow someone to crack the copy protection on an HD-DVD. The front page (along with two and three) of Digg consists entirely of stories flaunting the number or criticizing Digg for its actions. Update: Fresh screencap, gallery of first four pages and thoughts after the jump. More »

Diggnation: Kevin Rose and Alex Transplant Drunken Livingroom Antics to Macworld
Instead of on a livingroom couch, Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht filmed Diggnation #80 live at Macworld, in front of nearly hundreds and hundreds of fans. When they film at home, Kevin and Alex drink. True to form, they proceeded to pound beers, while Moscone security guards look on in question. And at one point, Kevin realizes the entire crowd is sober. Time to start filming these things in bars.
