GeekBrief.TV (N95 Sneak Peeks): GBTV #353 (medium) | GeekBrief.TV

Despite the fact that I introduced the show as Brief #352, it's actually #353. Microsoft's attempt to acquire Yahoo reminds me of something that would happen in sixth grade, except instead of passing notes, the two companies keep passing Press Releases. Yahoo didn't respond to Microsoft's deadline for an answer and Mark Andreessen >analyzed the situation Apple upgraded the specs on the iMac , but everyone is really just waiting for the announcement of a 3G iPhone. The expectations are reaching frenzy status. Geoff Smith launched a new Web service called RingtoneFeeder.com . It's a subscription service that automatically installs a new original ringtone on the iPhone via iTunes every week. Each ringtone is an original Geoff Smith production. Subscriptions are $1.98 a month or $19.98 a year. There is a free sample feed available at Ringtonefeeder.com for anyone who would like to see how it works. Festo created a giant indoor flying object that floats through the air like a jelly fish in water. I cant tell what AirJelly's ultimate purpose could be, but it's beautiful to watch. It uses a combination of helium and an electric motor powered by lithium-ion polymer batteries.
