Apple releases Magic Trackpad: Twitter gasps!

Apple has released its new Magic Trackpad for desktop computers. This device is just like the Trackpad on the MacBook Pro, only bigger:

Magic Trackpad is just like the trackpad on the MacBook Pro — but bigger. It’s made with the same advanced touch-friendly and wear-resistant glass surface. But with nearly 80 percent more area, it’s the largest Multi-Touch trackpad made by Apple. So there’s even more room for you to scroll, swipe, pinch, and rotate to your fingers’ content. And since the entire surface is a button that clicks, you can use it in place of a mouse.

Despite the fact Apple has once again released an old piece of technology and called it "new", folks on Twitter just can't shut up about how great it is:

@MichaelPizzolla On a quest today for the just released Magic Trackpad.

@grolby If I can plug the Magic Trackpad into my MBP and get inertial scrolling, you'd think they could update my firmware for the built-in one.

@michaelzhou new iMacs and Magic TrackPad: daddy likes

@hellosmalldog Sign of the times: Apple.com still features major iPhone splash while new iMacs, Mac Pro, Apple Display, and Magic Trackpad are footnotes!

@PolarLava RT @bikehugger: is there a special way to hold the magic trackpad? want to know that before purchase this time.

@jasonmklug Apple has a genius pricing strategy: Magic Trackpad for $69, opt. battery charger for $29, which completes a $100 "chunk" = no extra guilt.

WikiLeaks releases, Trends; overloads with visits

Fresh from the controversy over thei brelease of journalists under friend-fire from U.S. forces in Afghanistan, WikiLeaks.org has now released more than 91,000 military documents revealing day-to-day operations in the region. And so far, it doesn't look good for U.S. forces who seem to be making little to no progress; military cover-ups; Taliban and Pakistan connections; and much, much more.

Needless to say, the document release is generating a lot of buzz for the site. It has been a Trending Topic for hours and seems likely to remain that way for days as folks sort through the documents and try to determine if WikiLeaks.org is working for the common good or merely trying to get famous...


@jayrosen_nyu Why didn't Wikileaks just publish the Afghanistan war logs and let journalists 'round the world have at them? This is why: http://jr.ly/n89s

Twitter goes crazy over Inception

Inception, released July 16, is a sci-fi thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, and Cillian Murphy. Dom Cobb (DiCaprio), a skilled thief, is asked to perform the act of inception - meaning to plant an idea in someone's mind. Of course, this becomes Cobb's hardest task ever.

Hype has been building up for weeks. According to these Twitter fans, it was worth it.

@mdasif An Idea. A single idea from the human mind can build cities. An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules. ~ Inception

@Tina_Tequila85 Inception was ah-mazing.. Hurt my brain a little, and I am questioning the fabric of my existence.. But excellent

@carinadiolata Maybe you're not a part of my reality. You're just one of those projections created by my subconscious. - Ohhh, i ❤ Inception :)

@sylveth If anything,Inception reminded me of what i enjoyed studying in my psych & psychiatry classes.the power of the human mind is truly amazing.

@jiayiaugust Inception is super awesome,is like i had a dream...

@samversionone @kerrylaifatt I would skip Eclipse and go straight to Inception. haha.

@RalphyBohemian just saw inception. hollywood take dreams far too literally, they think dreaming is a mode you switch on and off

@Stars_Are_Cute I'm in Waterloo, patiently waiting for it to be Imax o'clock so I can finally see Inception!

@vikraijazz I'm officially in love with Ellen Page's character in Inception. 'Quick, give me a kiss'

@HighHopesKaytee i wanna see inception again. i think i might be able to understand it this time.

Flipping-out over 'Flipboard'

Don't look now but the latest Trending Topic on Twitter isn't another troubled celebrity, a recently released big budget film or even a dirty politician--no, it's an iPad app called Flipboard.

Flipboard is a social networking news aggregator which collects news posted by our social networking buddies and puts it together in what is being called a "magazine format."

It remains to be seen what impact this will have on feed readers and their users, but the fact the company has raised nearly $11 million in capital investment is a sure sign it will mean something....

Twitter gets 'Glee' -ful

A performed on the hit show 'Glee' is getting botox treatments, and Twitter has erupted in comment.
It might have something to do with the fact the actress is just 18 and yet she is having anti-aging treatments performed on her face. 18?

MANILA, Philippines — Filipino teenage singer Charice Pempengco says she prepared for her debut on the hit TV show "Glee" by getting Botox and an anti-aging procedure "to look fresh on camera."

Here's what they are saying on Twitter:

@jimparedes Kinda disturbed that charice is getting a face job. Don't go changing to try and pleade glee. We love you just the way you are.

@celebzweb Charice Pempengco, 18, Gets Skin Lightened and Botox for 'Glee' Role: Filed under: Gut Reactions, Music News, TV N... http://bit.ly/9rCtWa

@candishhh RT @oliboycastro: Charice is getting Botox 4 her appearance on Glee. Dude, I dn't think Botox is right.Shld be plastic surgery instead.

@kay_mansalad http://j.mp/97BGH4 seriously charice?! I hope this isn't true...

@kevinfritz3 Whatever that Botox thing is. I really don't care cuz i know i love charice for who she is and everything's fine. Charice is still the BEST!

@danielledlcrz Charice got botox for joining Glee? =))))))))))))))))))))) HAHAHA. Okay, that made me laughhh. -____-

@MJDBieberRox Waht!!! Charice gettin a Face Job ... WTH!!!

@JordanOrtillan Charice is a trending topic because she got work done on her face; in time for filming of #GLEE's next season? She's HOW OLD?!

@maricarljanah @OfficialCharice You're getting a face job for GLEE?! It's supposed to be about accepting differences & embracing individuality! #Charice

@jadenroyal whether you like it or not, Charice is getting popular every minute, every hour, everyday!!!

@xforeverrx3 Charice got botox to look "fresh" for Glee ? that's RiDiCULOUS . she's 18, what would she need to be "refreshened" ?! lost respect

@theswiftbiebers Charice - Botox? NO @OFFICIALCHARICE! WE LOVE YOU THE WAY YOU ARE! Even when you get botox, I'll still love you. :) Looking forward to GLEE!

@vickymarie Anyway, while Charice is off pondering her next cosmetic procedure, I have errands to run today. TTFN Twitter!

@sassyback "Charice Pempengco says she prepared for her debut on the hit TV show "Glee" by getting Botox" CLASSY.

@carlzac Charice is now botoxed!!! uggh.... idk know what to say, anyways its not a major cosmetic crazyness!

@SheltonLtd Because of "Botox", Charice is trending. It's not even a plastic surgery, so please get over it. There's nothing wrong with that.

Apple iOS 4.0.1 is taking over the world....

Apple has released iOS 4.1 to the relief of many iPhone users...it remains to be seen if the new operating system will make things better or worse. But users are confident they will be slightly better off with the new system than they have been with the current version.
With this new version your phone will actually show just how crappy your reception is, instead of lying about it to make you feel better...

@scottr @colleyryan It'll all make sense when Apple announces iOS 4.0.1 patched the oil spill.

Oil Spill finally Trends on Twitter

The massive oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico caused by BP has finally been capped. At least, that's according to BP officials who would no doubt like nothing more than for that to be true.
Of course, these are the same folks who told us first there was no leak, then just 1,000 gallons a day, then 5,000 gallons a day, then 5,000 barrels a day...then 10,000 barrels a day or more.
So really, your guess is as good as theirs...

Here's what they are saying on Twitter:

@GaryJBusey Our only hope for fixing the oil spill is to have Mel Gibson call it on the phone.

@TWlTTERWHALE #Random but Captain Planet would have fixed this oil spill by now.

@williamiii0 @ArianaGrande the oil spill has been caped woooo hoooo

@LiveLifeLegit i just heard that the oil spill is over, is it TRUE?

@phiadosa Wow. Good job BP for stopping the oil spill in such a timely manner...only took 4 months

@HudakIn2010 thankful that the oil spill has finally been stopped.

@AP BP says oil has stopped leaking into the Gulf for the first time since April: http://bit.ly/bPvSCk -EC

@jdvinegar We cared more about what team lebron james went to than we care abt the ongoing oil spill in the gulf #thatsaproblem

Bastille Day makes the Trending Topic list

It's Bastille Day. The day all French people unite in their appreciation for liberty, equality and a well-placed advertisement.
At least, that's the way it seems on twitter today.
"Bastille" is a Trending Topic but a majority of the Tweets seem to be ads aimed at people who might be celebrating the holiday as opposed to being in appreciation of it.
Maybe I am being too cynical. Here is a small sample. Judge for yourself:

@ciholmer In honor of Bastille day, I am requiring my team to laugh in French all day.

Psychic Octopus: Call him 'Paul'

Paul the psychic octopus is predicting Spain will be the 2010 World Cup champions.

So far Paul has been fairly accurate choosing winners and losers in the FIFA sponsored quarter- and semi-finals. Whether he has correctly chosen Spain over the Netherlands remains to be seen. But he has definitely proven that it doesn't take a genius to knock Justin Bieber out of the Trending Topics list, just an octopus.

@RansomReynolds Paul The Psychic Octopus picks Spain to win the World Cup! He's been right 100%, so far! Let's hope he's right again :)

@sobihan #ESP was predicted by PULPO PAUL as a Psychic Octopus for the 2010 #Worldcup winner..Believe it or not ?? let's see the BIG match on Monday
