The Blackberry Storm has finally arrived. Is it the
iPhone-killer Blackberry fans hoped it would be? Or is this one
storm you'd be better off taking shelter from? Reviews are pouring
in, and I'm going to stop now, because I've run out of weather
puns.

SnapTell's new Explorer iPhone app lets you find info about a
product simply by taking a picture of it. For some ironic fun,
try taking a picture of the app's page. If it doesn't rip a hole
in the space-time continuum, let me know what it turns up.


Google plans to put the final touches on its Chrome web browser
by January and to start pre-loading it on new computers if they
can secure a distribution deal with manufacturers. And by "if," I
mean "when."


Google has also introduced SearchWiki, a new feature that lets
users who are logged into their Google accounts to rearrange,
add, remove and leave comments on search results. If you'd rather
have your old Google back, Facesaerch has you covered.


Blizzard's World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King
broke the single-day sales record for PC games with 2.8 million
units sold. I'm going to go out on a limb on this one and say
that this whole WOW thing is going to be huge pretty soon.


Scientists at Penn State say they have found a way to resurrect
almost any animal that lived within the last 60,000 years thanks
to advances in DNA-sequencing. I think I just heard Michael
Crichton smack his forehead and then roll over in his
grave.


Lightsabers are cool and everything, but it's not like something
similar to them could ever be shrunk down and equipped to fire a
laser beam that could then help fight cancer...right?
