Did you hear? – Apparently some guy called Michael Jackson died last week and if news reports are anything to go by, we were one of only a handful of websites not to crash from an onslaught of fans desperate for info on his demise. Google thought it was under attack, Yahoo recorded a massive number of hit, MSNBC and CNN both had outages.

Apple Rumors Snowboarders Tool – Apple Insider is reporting that Apple may be “working on an activity sensor similar to the Nike+ iPod sport kit geared towards skiers, snowboarders and mountain bikers that would be capable of determining their “air time,” “speed,” and the amount of “power” or energy absorbed during those sporting activities.” Could be good.

DC’s Ad Guy Dies – Did you catch the commercials with Billy Mays that DC made? Unfortunately, he died after a head injury over the weekend. Check the commercials he did here.

And Finally – Olivia Wilde, who plays Dr. Remy Hadley in House (A.K.A. Thirteen) and Princess Inanna in the hit and miss, Year One. The photo above says more than I can… check below the cut for plenty more.
