The TechList: 27.Feb.2010
Facebook patents newsy feeds, even iPhone fans have needs
1. Facebook. Issued patent for "news feed." Its next patent: How to annoy users by redesigning your interface every three months.
2. Apple. Allows apps displaying scantily clad babes from Playboy, Hooters, & Vicky Secrets. But only because those girls are all virgins.
3. OnePoll.com. Online survey reveals women prefer hairy geeks. Proving one thing: Hairy geeks are more likely to conduct online surveys.
4. iTunes. Celebrates 10 billionth song download. Unfortunately, that tune wasn’t "Take This Pod and Shove It."
5. JooJoo. Says ‘dead simple Web tablet’ is delayed. Again. See, they did learn something from Michael Arrington after all.
6. Yelp. Sued for extorting $$$ in exchange for spiking bad reviews. CEO says the charges are bunk, and for $400/month he’ll prove it.
7. Facebook 2. Coding glitch caused emails to be sent to the wrong people. In six months they’ll be trying to patent that too.
8. Twitter. Smutty phishing scam snares UK MP Ed Miliband. Not to worry; his sex life still sucks and & his dick is still pitiful.
9. Associated Press. Unveils new digital business unit. We hear they’re hoping to become the CompuServe of digital news delivery.
10. TigerText. IM app lets you send messages that self destruct. But not before they try to screw every Hooters waitress within 50 miles.
