iPhone thief takes photos, doesn't realize their... →
By now, I’m assuming we’re all familiar with Apple’s Photo Stream feature. It’s the service that automatically uploads photos you take on your iPhone (or iPad) to all of your other Apple device for easy cataloging. No need to sync the photos or transfer them; they’ll be there.
Anyway, someone stole an iPhone during a Disney Cruise, and apparently wasn’t aware...

CBC, a Canadian broadcast network, have announced that they will offer an alternative audio channel for people (specifically, women) to listen to if they were so inclined as to watch the upcoming NHL Stanley Cup Finals (which I REALLY hope includes the Rangers, but I digress). So, what does this mean? I’ll let the commentators of that audio channel give us a clue:
Thanks guys, but if we...

daverosado:
Thanks to the awesome guys at Grooveshark, you’re able to make a customizable widget with as many full-length songs as you want that you can embed on your web page. I don’t know how long you’ve been able to do this, but I only learned about it yesterday morning, so it’s news to me!
Anyway, now that I’ve discovered this gem of a feature on their site, I’ve decided that every Friday,...

– A Dickhead (via bestrooftalkever)
One time, and this is a true story, I was on the N train going over the Manhattan Bridge towards the borough of the same name. I was standing, listening to my music and minding my own business, when a woman got bumped fairly hard by a much taller man seeking...

– The Handsome Furs are no more. Here’s a song to wave goodbye.*
*I would’ve included a superior song from their latest album, but for whatever reason, Spotify has the uncensored version of its cover art featuring a very naked woman, which, if you see the way these things get embedded,...

On the comedy side, the network that brought us Twitter-based $#*! My Dad Says and Twitter-based actor Ashton Kutcher is once again showing its affinity for new media. CBS has greenlit Friend Me. Here’s the (rather extensive) logline: “Twentysomething best friends, Evan and Rob, move from their hometown of Bloomington, Ind., to Los Angeles to begin their...

Yesterday, the Internet was ablaze with rumors that NBC had decided to renew 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, and Community with short seasons, then promptly giving them all the axe. Then everybody panicked. People set fire to buildings. They kidnapped strange children off the street. Others ran out into the streets and threw tridents at birds, desperate to capture all the food they could to survive...

The last bit of Sendak: If you haven’t yet seen his interview on The Colbert Report, know that you pretty much have to. He’s (Maurice, I mean) cranky and hilarious throughout. It’s just...

iheartmoosiq:
Yep, you can stream Beach House’s highly anticipated new album Bloom over at NPR! Click on the link below to check it out and get ready to dream the night away to Victoria Legrand’s voice. The album drops on Sub Pop on May 15. I’ve already pre-ordered! Hearing Myth (the first track on the album) awhile back easily convinced me to do so.
