Foursquare Takes the Lead in 'Where-Am-I' Apps

Live from SXSW, Kevin's buddy is checking the API for Gowalla vs. Foursquare and the results are damn close! Plus, Gowalla gives a free Gowalla branding iPod Nano for one lucky winner in the audience. Which do you guys prefer? Check out this new app, WhereTheLadies.at, that takes the check-ins from Gowalla and Foursquare that calculate how many chicks are at your location and how to find them! Can you say stalker?!

Boob Cheese: A Protein Whose Time Has Come

What’s the big deal here? Of all the things that humans eat, there are only two or three existing in nature made by nature just to be food. Such as breast milk (of all varieties). What do you think about eating cheese made out of breast milk? Alex makes a very good and convincing point… and then Kevin brings up the possibility of STD transmission through breast milk. Gross.

Exclusive Pictures of Microsoft Courier!

iPad vs. Courier ultimate show down! Not really, but we're told Courier will function as a "digital journal," and it's designed to be seriously portable: it's under an inch thick, weighs a little over a pound, and isn't much bigger than a 5x7 photo when closed. Kevin calls B.S. on this. Sorry, leak troll.

Pringles Has Definitely Lost its Way [Pic]

Pringles…! Come on, man! Lamb, grilled shrimp, seaweed and other horrendous flavors are coming into the world. However, Kevin swears by the Lamb flavored Pringles. Maybe next we can see breast milk flavored?

You, Too, Can Own a Jetpack! Only $90,000!

You NEED to see this video. Anyone who wants one faces a 12-month wait; to get on the list, you'll need to put 10 percent down and only complete 48 hours of training! Leo Laporte has some input for this innovative Iron Man reality, perhaps from experience? For now, enjoy some live stream crowd surfing!
