Flash Wars

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010 – running time 44:18

More episodes:

Lots of sexy Star Wars talk today on Diggnation! Plus, Kevin talks about his ex-relationship with the iPhone, HP buys Palm, Google confirms Android 2.2 OS will support flash, Fox News calls Mr. Rogers evil, and all topped off with a healthy dose of "The Art of the Accidental Penis"!

HP Buys Palm; Kevin Drops the iPhone!

From engadget, "HP has just announced that it's acquiring Palm to the tune of $1.2 billion, which works out to $5.70 per share of Palm common stock. The deal is planned to close by July 31, which marks the end of HP's third fiscal quarter of the year. Current Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein is "expected to remain with the company," though it's not said in what capacity.

Kevin goes on to discuss his new toy, the Droid Incredible! He broke is iPhone, and although he can now actually make calls... the Android apps just suck compared to Apple. Spoken like a true fanboy.

Google Confirms Android 2.2 Will Support Flash

Google's Andy Rubin revealed that the upcoming version of the Android mobile operating system will fully support Flash technology. Code named Froyo, Rubin says Google's definition of openness "means not being militant about the things consumers are actually enjoying." The guys go on to discuss the fact that an ad-sponsored Twitter will be the death of the free service. Would you pay for Twitter? Kevin, maybe; Alex, no way.

Slave Leia Car Wash!

How many of you love Slave Leia (ahem, Princess Leia in a golden bikini)? Yeah, everyone. Iconic, nerdy, hot - undeniable. So check out this video a guy took as Slave Leias cleaned up their ride. Kevin then finds a Star Wars Burlesque show. Princess Leia is a pretty damn good thing. Hear that, ladies?

Fox News Calls Mr. Rogers "An Evil, Evil Man"

So, apparently, the kids today that grew up watching Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood are ruining society due to their lazy socialist tendencies. Just because he called us all special, just as we are. They say there's some kind of study of unproductive citizens traces back to beautiful days in the neighborhood. Say it again, Fox, and we're gonna be pissed!

The Art Of The Accidental Penis [Pics]

"Though many things can be phallic, and at times some of us are more prone to see cock in things that don't necessarily look like wang, these below images leave little doubt of what they resemble. Short, long, wide, skinny, shriveled...these members here can be appreciated by all." So unfortunately un-Photoshopped (mostly)! One of these gems even comes from our very own studio guy, Brett! Check out his penile contribution of Upper Crust Pizza. Enjoy, perv.
