Consumer Reports says it can’t recommend the iPhone 4 because the antenna issue can be replicated and is, in fact, serious. Fanboy response: suck it up and buy a case. Molly response: epic rant. Also, the RIAA’s wildly inflated file-sharing damages are smacked down once again, and Reddit begs for money. Buzz Out Loud episodes …

After the shortest time on market ever, the Microsoft Kin has been unceremoniously yanked from market. Which, I guess, you could see as swift and decisive action on Microsoft’s part, rather than a total failure of the company’s mixed-up mobile strategy. Or both. Also, Apple lawsuits, Google’s uncertain future in China, and the Woot monkey …
I think we can all agree on one thing: flying cars may be cool, but it’s going to be a slaughter in the skies–at least at first. Also, the Verizon iPhone is here again! Yay! We’ll believe it when we see it, just like we’ll believe that Google Me is real and a real competitor …
