YouTube’s Going 1080p So That You Can Watch Silly Videos In High-Def

USB AM/FM Tuner Made By Company Who Hasn’t Heard Of Internet Radio

This USB AM/FM tuner is useless without a computer, but if you’ve got a computer in front of you odds are good that you also have an Internet connection through which you can access most radio stations. And while it’s lovely that it allows you to record broadcast content, it would be a bit more handy if the gadget also had some flash memory on board. [OhGizmo!]

Pirates Decorate Their MacBooks With Crossbones

MacBook decals appear to be turning into a trend as even pirates are getting into the game. Arrr, yo-ho-ho matey, or something like that. [Crunchgear]
