The military fad is far from over. Even long after all our troops come home, this fashion statement will live and for good reason. Surface 2 Air’s latest sweaters are military-inspired masterpieces. The charcoal-gray, marled wool sweater pictured above comes with buttons that line the left shoulder, suggesting epaulets.

Google’s iPhone Search app is live, so head to iTunes and grab it from the App Store. The guys over at Gizmodo have already tested it out and given some screen shots.
“Gizmodo” was understood, surprisingly, as was “bear market” and “bare ass”. That’s right, it was smart enough to tell the difference between the words bear and bare, depending on the context. Also super cool?

Is it us or does this happen pretty frequently? Break out of your current Sprint contract without paying an early-termination fee. How, you ask? Thanks to a materially adverse change of contract. Consumerist reports that a 99-cent administrative fee increase per line is going into effect on January 1st, which falls under, “you can use it to argue that the fee renders your contract void and you can end service without a termination fee.” Head to the Consumerist to get full details and how to hurdle the Sprints reps.

For people on the go, a notebook (obviously) is the best way to go. For people on the go, a 17″ display that gives you a numberpad is not the way to go. I travel with an 11″ display and when I’m punching numbers, I’m left without a numberpad for ease of use.
For Mac users, this dilemma is gone with the help of a new iPhone app called numberkey. Perfect for heavy duty spreadsheet users, this nifty new application for the iPhone and iPod Touch lets you use your mobile device as an ad-hoc numeric keypad for your Mac. Just install Balmuda’s Numberkey connect software onto your Mac, then grab the mobile app from the App Store for $1.99. The two pieces of software communicate via Wi-Fi, adding a familiar 18-key numeric keyboard to your Mac without wires. Not bad, right?

This is right about the time when the blame game gets cracked open at Microsoft Headquarters. The stock hit it’s 10-Year low today after analysts cut Microsoft’s 2009 revenue forecasts. The reason? The projections were reduced due to “downward pressure on PC unit sales.” Guess we can’t blame Vista or the lawsuits this time, considering the company decline in the past few months has mirrored the decline of the S&P.
Should we be surprised? The home of the West Virginia Hot Dog Festival and an event called Chilifest is named the most disgusting unhealthiest place in the United States. The Center for Disease Control named the country made this conclusion after finding that nearly half the town is obese and the city leads the nation in a variety of illnesses, including diabetes, heart disease and even tooth loss. One second, I have to go throw up. (more…)
The Nissan GT-R, aka Godzilla, made its way into the US not too long ago and is now crowned Motor Trend’s car of the year. Nissan’s beauty competed with the BMW 135i, Acura TL, Jaguar XF, Hyundai Genesis, Pontiac G8, and the Dodge Challenger. It prevailed and with good reason, no?
“The GT-R puts Nissan on a map that thus far only designated Maranello, Sant’ Agata, Munich, and Stuttgart as points of interest,” said Motor Trend editor Ron Kiino. ”Well, it’s time to stick a tack on Tochigi. In the kingdom of supercars, the GT-R positively belongs. Be it comparing 0-to-60 sprints, quarter-mile times, 60-to-0 braking, or lateral acceleration, the GT-R is one of the world’s best.”

Who better to keep you warm (and fashionable) this winter than a company that’s supplied textiles to the likes of Giorgio Armani and Vivienne Westwood? Faliero Sarti has been producing out of Italy for over fifty years.
