Happy Feet Penguin swimming home!
We are always entertained by anything animal especially when it touches the hearts of millions. An Emperor penguin dubbed Happy Feet was found in June off the coast of New Zealand, nearly 3k miles away from his home.
Doctors performed surgery on the penguin to save his life and now he has been released back in the ocean for the first time in months. They built a special slide for him to make his grand exit off the Tangaroa reseach vesel in the Southern Ocean.
We will miss him, good luck Happy Feet!

What kind of Apple iPod should I buy?
What kind of Apple iPod should I buy? I run/rollerblade daily and travel about 3 times a month, long flights from East Coast out West. I had a Shuffle iPod but it was stolen. I am not sure if I should upgrade or stick with it. I only want to get an Apple music player. Any help? Thanks!
If you just want music…there's nothing wrong with the shuffle. They're small and you can put a whole bunch of songs on there. The shuffle is the cheapest and smallest thing to carry and you'll free yourself up rollerblading.
Upgrade, buy a Creative Zen or Zen Stone.
I would upgrade to the new nano so you can also watch videos while you fly. also its smaller for traveling.

Turn Your Smartphone Into Golf GPS – Some Apps That Do the Trick
There are some great applications that can turn your mobile phone or smartphone device into a golf GPS. many have free trial periods (or are totally free). Some of these applications, like GreenFinder, GolfShot, and FreeCaddie Pro have most, if not all, of the features of the standalone units, and, at a fraction of the price, they are certainly worth a try.
GreenFinder works on Blackberry, iPhone 3G, Android, and Windows Mobile phones. you can download and use it five times for free. It gives you distances to the front, center, and back of the green, as well as distances to fairway hazards and the distance of your last shot. you can even map your own courses with the GreenFinder golf GPS.
GolfShot works only on the iPhone 3G and is comparable to any of the standalone golf gps devices. With the iPhone’s touchscreen capability you can pinpoint any spot by touching it: GolfShot will calculate the distances from your current position to that spot and from that spot to the center of the green. It shows distances to green, fairway hazards, and special layups. It also has aerial views of the course and keeps automatic statistics that are displayed with wonderful graphics.
FreeCaddie Pro works on Blackberry, iPhone 3G/3GS, Windows Mobile, and Java enabled phones. It can display the distances to the front, center, and back of greens, as well as distances to bunkers and hazards. Other features include a shot distance function, the ability to map your own points, scorekeeping, and statistical analysis.
Now GolfLogix, who introduced the first standalone handheld golf GPS back in 1999, has become the first of the major handheld GPS manufacturers to make its technology available for download and use on the smartphone. Currently, its software is available for the iPhone 3G and the Blackberry Curve, Bold, Tour, and Storm, and will soon be available for the HTC Touch Pro.
Is this the beginning of the end of the standalone golf GPS? If people already own the hardware, why not just provide them with the software.

The top 8 iPhone alternatives
Avram PiltchLaptop
With Samsung’s long-heralded Galaxy S II smartphone coming to three of the four major carriers, the iPhone faces some stiff competition. however, Samsung’s giant handset isn’t the only device that’s ready to give Apple a run for its money. Each of these eight alternatives offers something that Apple’s ever-popular handset lacks.
Motorola Atrix 4G (AT&T)With a speedy dual-core Tegra 2 processor and generous 4-inch qHD screen, the Atrix 4G is one of the most powerful phones on the market. A unique lap dock turns the Atrix into a notebook with an 11.6-inch screen and full Firefox browser. try doing that with your iPhone.
Samsung Infuse 4G (AT&T)A 4.5-inch Super AMOLED display gives the Infuse 4G one of the largest canvases on the market, great for typing and watching movies. the iPhone 4’s 3.5-inch screen is tiny by comparison. A fast 1.2-GHz processor, an 8-MP HD camera and HDMI-out make this a true multimedia powerhouse.
Motorola Photon 4G (Sprint)Pair an attractive 4.3-inch qHD screen with a dual-core 1-GHz Tegra 2 CPU and 4G speeds and you have a powerful iPhone 4 foe. better still, the Photon 4G plugs into an optional dock for enjoying the full web (yes, including Hulu) on the big screen.
HTC EVO 3D (Sprint)The iPhone 4 doesn’t offer a stereoscopic 3D screen or a camera that lets you record 3D photos and videos, but the HTC EVO 3D does. Throw in a a dual core 1.2-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU and HTC’s elegant Sense interface and you have more beauty and brains than Apple’s handset.
myTouch 4G Slide (T-Mobile)Not a fan of correcting touchscreen typos? Pick up the myTouch 4G slide, which has one of the best physical keyboards on a smartphone. plus, this device has one of the sharpest and fastest cameras we’ve ever used. No more shutter lag.
HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile)The gorgeous HTC sense UI, a 1.2-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a 4.3-inch qHD screen, and T-Mobile’s fast 4G HSPA+ network combine to make this Android handset a winner. Best of all, the HTC Sensation lasts over 7 hours on a charge, which is well above average.
HTC Thunderbolt (Verizon)While the 3G iPhone 4 can’t even get 2 Mbps download speeds on Verizon or AT&T, the Thunderbolt rides on Big Red’s industry-leading 4G LTE network, allowing it to get download speeds as high as 17 Mbps, averaging 8.3 Mbps across our testing. You can even turn the Thunderbolt into a hotspot to share the speed with your notebook.
Samsung Droid Charge (Verizon)A colorful, 4.3-inch Super AMOLED screen allows you to view the screen on the Droid Charge even in direct sunlight. Average download speeds of 7.8 Mbps on Verizon’s 4G LTE network give device four times the bandwidth of an iPhone 4.
