Everytime I load Google Maps, the home location that it shows me is Melbourne, Australia. 
Today, Dell announced the Studio Hybrid line of desktop computers, a beautiful and colorful set of PCs that are cheap and environmentally friendly.
According to Dell, the new computers come packaged in 30% less material with about 95% of that material being recyclable. On top of that, the computers come with instructions on how to properly recycle and dispose of these computers should you ever have to get rid of them or upgrade (it should also be noted that the instruction booklets are reduced as well compared to typical desktop towers, which also contributes to the environmentally friendly factor of these PCs).
So the green factor is nice, but what do these computers come with? Well, first off, they come with optional and highly stylized set of outfits, including 6 jewel-toned sleeves and one bamboo sleeve. On the specs side, they virtually come ready-to-go, with Wi-Fi capability, CD/DVD/Blu-Ray optical drive, 5 USB ports, a Firewire port, HDMI, DVI, and audio and digital outputs. All of this and much more in a package that’s made to take up as little space as possible.
For $499 you can order one immediately at the Dell website.
Wow, these computers are fabulous. I love them and I’d want one in my room in red!
Flash of Genius looks like a pretty good movie. Greg Kinnear plays Robert Kearns, an inventor in the 1960′s who fights automobile giant Ford(primarily) for the patent and idea behind the intermittent automobile windshield wiper. The film is based on a true story involving one man and his fight against big automotive corporations.

The film is scheduled to be released on October 17, 2008. Watch the trailer below, or see it in high quality at the Apple trailers website.

Thanks for the photo, Steph!
Absolut ads are getting really weird. Take for example this one featuring Kanye West (called Be Kanye). The ad is a real spoof on bad infomercials that has apparently gone viral over the past week. Just watch it to see what I mean.
And to make it even weirder, Absolut has apparently also put out MTA Subway ads based around the concept of the video above.
The ad was made by TBWAChiatDay.
Here’s another one from the same ad campaign.
Wow. This is a statement like no other. Most people who buy and wear New Era 59Fifty hats have this habit of leaving the golden sticker on the hat in order to show everybody that the hat is genuine. It’s a kind of fashion statement that has caught on and become quite the norm over the years. Problem is, however, that that golden sticker itself is easy to replicate, so the whole idea of keeping it on to show others that a particular hat is genuine is pointless (especially nowadays when counterfeit manufacturing has gotten to be so good that even the hat can be made virtually the same as the genuine product).
To put a twist on the whole situation, fi5e over at ni9e has created the Counterfeit New Era Sticker hat. As the name suggests, the hat is covered all over in layered New Era golden stickers except for a hole on the brim where a standard New Era hat would have the real sticker. [via]
Expect demand for this product to go through the roof, as collectors will be fighting over a total of only 20 hats made. Good luck!
