Lots of stories with buzz today, including a new Archos Android tablet, the launch of Zune HD and voice chat on Facebook. Of course Joe the pilot in Honolulu sent us some good old fashioned Phillipino Whiskey and Rum. So Cooley makes us pause and do a tasting. Poor Natali gets left out though. Sad. …

3D TV? Augmented reality in your contacts? The world is getting awesome. Unless you have an Xbox 360.
