in tech news, can't believe apple has sold already 1.7mm iphone 4's. i will get one, just not yet, probably for xmas once they iron out all the bugs and release a couple iterations of the firmware.

noticed facebook keeps snatching up google talent, the guy in charge of chrome OS is the last facebook steal, nice.

been using www.veetle.com to watch the world cup games. works surprisingly well on the iphone via quicktime streaming. really cool and easy way to watch the game wherever you are. requires a decent 3g connection (or wifi.)

ok, enough stuff for today

Super hot day in NYC. 2 Great World Cup games today, Germany crushed England and Argentina did the same with Mexico. That setups up an incredible match up for next weekend: Germany vs. Argentina. Tomorrow Netherlands and Brazil should move thru as well.

Awesome.
