Samsung Galaxy Note II confirmed to reach Verizon stores tomorrow

Despite the fact that Verizon's version of the Samsung Galaxy Note II -- complete with its ugly logo-laden home button -- is already starting to ship out to pre-orderers, the carrier and manufacturer continued to keep quiet about their official launch plans. We've finally received word from a Samsung spokesperson that the 5.5-inch smartphone-tablet hybrid is destined to make its way into Big Red stores beginning tomorrow for $300 with a two-year contract. If you've been exercising a heap of patience in waiting for this gigantophone, you'd best free up some time on your calendar first thing tomorrow. We have the official statement waiting for you after the break.

NYT's Trademark Vigilance Cranks Up Twitter Mockery Meter

"GUYS, young people like to hang out in groups, and The Times is ON IT." So goes The Times Is On It, the latest parody account to take Twitter by storm. Creator Benjamin Kabak's running joke is on The New York Times for its breathless reporting of everything obvious. On Monday, though, @NYTOnIt suddenly disappeared. At issue was its use of the Times' trademarked logo.

Gordon Smith believes few things are more American than a square meal with peas, carrots and corn. Of course the former senator from Oregon may be biased, since his family supplies much of the nation's frozen veggies.

Skyrim, Modern Warfare and Other Games Are Your Cyber-Monday-Hangover Deal of the Day

The tiny corner of the internet where folks parse and discuss deals seemed a bit tired this morning. Makes sense—everyone's still recovering from the deluge of bargains and sales from Cyber Monday. There are a bunch of prices still on the internet which unscrupulous retailers jacked up for Cyber Monday so their coupon codes and sales looked more attractive. Now those codes have expired. So the smart move for deal hunters is to give your UPS driver a break and download some games to play on those shiny desktops, laptops, and consoles you bought yesterday. More »

Jetbus is a retro-tastic physics game, with a bus

Once upon a time, there used to be a DOS game with a caveman and a human powered helicopter. The caveman would shuttle around the screen, madly trying to get customers to where they wanted to go.

Jetbus is not that game, but it's obviously inspired by it. You're driving a yellow school bus which has jets. I guess the jet engine takes quite a bit of space inside the bus, because you can only pick up one person at a time.

There are several doors on the screen, each with its own number. As you pick up a person, the status bar at the bottom of the screen shows you which number door you have to take them to.

You must fly your bus carefully, because if it gets bumped around too much, you lose. You earn money on each level, and can visit the garage to buy better jets and damping, power-ups, or even a whole new vehicle.

So while this game isn't made as well as the original that inspired it, it does provide a few minutes of fun. And now, which one of you guys remembers the original and feels like pointing to it in the comments?

Mixtab Delivers Content With a Side of Eye Candy

Really Simple Syndication is a way for people who produce content for the Web to push that content to people interested in it. For folks like me, it can save time otherwise spent jumping from website to website to gather news. During its heyday, RSS was quite popular, so much so that advertisers agonized over how to monetize the technology.
