There's a lot of cute and stupid USB drives out there, but these anthropomorphic pieces of toast take the cake. They even come with a hub that looks like a toaster. Cuteness is expensive when it first comes out, so its no surprise the whole set is now on clearance for a fraction of the original price.

The school system in my area recently announced they were purchasing a large number of iPads as part of a new education paradigm. iPads are wonderful, and no one loves them more than me, but I will admit they are more useful for education purposes when they are paired with a physical keyboard for faster, easier note-taking or typing up reports. When I have passed along an iPad to a niece or nephew, I’ve always included a Bluetooth keyboard. They are older and can quickly and easily set up the Bluetooth connection when needed. Our school system intends to use the iPads they are purchasing with younger kids, who may not be so adept at connecting a Bluetooth keyboard. I can foresee a lot of wasted classroom time, at least at first, with the teacher having to help everyone with their keyboards.
The Wired Keyboard for iPad from Logitech is designed to be plug-and-play, so the kids (or you) would only need to plug in a cable to be ready to start working. Logitech specially designed these keyboards for the classroom, so they are built to be durable and easy to maintain, with spill-resistant keys, no battery to recharge, and a 3-year limited hardware warranty. They are available with either the old 30-pin connector or with the new Lightning connector. You can pre-order either model now for $59.99.

What you're looking at above is the exact moment that atoms for a covalent bond. It's the first time this intricate single-molecule transformation has been captured in the act. It's a breakthrough, it's informative, in many ways it's beautiful. And it was taken by sheer dumb luck.
As reported in this week's Science Felix Fischer and his team at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory had set out to do what any enterprising young molecular chemist is doing these days: Create nanostructures made out of graphene
Graphene, as you may remember, is made up of carbon atoms that have been arranged in a hexagonal pattern that, combined, creates a substance with near-magical properties. If carbon atoms are Planeteers, graphene is Captain Planet. Reordering atoms can be a tricky business, though; you can end up with any number of molecules in the process. So the team decided to get a closer look at the proceedings. A much, much closer look.
As Wired reports, Fischer and friends bummed an atomic force microscope off of Berkeley physicist Michael Crommie, which was able to capture atom-level images of carbon falling in line. And, as it turns out, something that had never been seen before: The shared electrons that create the bonds between them. And so they joined a long, noble tradition of making scientific discoveries by complete accident
While the images themselves were a surprise, what they showed was anything but. Those diagrams you suffered through in AP Chem? Turns out they were spot on, as you can see above. What's perhaps most remarkable is that they had until now been based on guesstimates and informed assumptions. Turns out all they were missing was a little extra blurriness.

Tapbots' Tweetbot for Mac already has a reputation as the desktop Twitter client for media hounds, but a just-posted 1.3 update should make that especially clear. Like its iOS counterpart, the Mac app gains a dedicated media timeline: start a search and you can spotlight only photos and videos. There are a few perks for the vain among us, too. Tweetbot now supports profile cover images, and a redesigned tweet layout shows the counts for those inevitable favorites and retweets. So long as $20 isn't too much to pay for a dedicated social networking tool, 1.3's greater media savviness is waiting at the Mac App Store.

What do you Instagram? Food. Cupcakes. The beach. The beach with your sandy feet. Clouds. Dogs. Beer. Selfies. High heels. Forgotten Nights. TBTs. And maybe on some off chance, a blurry photo of a celebrity you saw on the street. Or on a magazine. Or in a movie. You're certainly not as hilarious as Peeje T. He perfectly photoshops celebrities into his Instagram. It's wonderful.
It's really wonderful work. The 25-year-old seamlessly splices himself into pictures of the rich and famous. Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, they're all friends with Peeje T. He gets creative with his work too, using popular images on the Internet and riffing off of it as best he can.
He told the Daily Dot that "it's gotten to the point where people expect me to make a picture when stuff starts to trend on Twitter" and that he hopes to use his graphic design and photo-editing skills to help a future company. You can see more of Peete J's work here (it's as hilarious as any portfolio you'll find and reminds me of Flora Borsi's work at splicing historical photos
Just check out Peeje T stealing Kanye West's seat next to Jay-Z, Beyonce and Kim Kardashian:

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES (IBM) INTERDIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS
Apple CEO Tim Cook, wrapping up his stint on stage at D11, said Apple wasn't religiously opposed to porting iOS apps to Android (or presumably other platforms). Cook claimed that, if it made sense, Apple would indeed consider bringing apps to Android. However, and especially in the case of iCloud, Cook doesn't currently think it makes that kind of sense.
In other words, they could but they won't. Not now, and not in any near future Cook can see. So, unlike Windows, Android gets no glass of cool iTunes water in their particular hell.
Anyone at all surprised or disappointed by any of that? Any hopes pegged on iTunes Store or iTunes Match for Android? FaceTime or iMessage?
