You Don't Need Gonads To Be A Goon
And here's another heartwarming girls-in-sports story. Pennsylvania high school hockey gives us the rare mixed-gender brawl, spurred by two boys dropping the gloves against one feisty little lady. (Or in the unfortunate parlance of the YouTube poster, "tagteaming" her.) [Deadspin] -

This Year's Most Ridiculous Events Auto-Tuned
Auto-tuned science was fun, but an auto-tuned retelling of the year's more ridiculous news events such as the Balloon Boy hoax is fantastic-yet-oh-so-terrible. So fantastic-yet-oh-so-horrible, in fact, that I'm crying because I can't get the beat out of my head. [Gizmodo] -

Aqua Forest 2 iPhone Physics Game Review
I love the first Aqua Forest (iTunes link) "game", which wasn't so much a game as it was a physics simulator with different liquids and solids. But Aqua Forest 2? It's more like a fancy marble game with water droplets. [Gizmodo] -

Dell Vostro V13 Hands On: Bruce Wayne's Laptop
Magnesium alloy. Aluminum. Zinc. That's what Dell's Vostro V13 is built with. It's as thin as Dell's primo Adamo at 0.65 inches, but it weighs less, 3.5 pounds. Yet somehow, it's $450. [Gizmodo] -
