Generous or Ridiculous?

So I read this study this morning and apparently more than 50% of parents in the United States fully support their 25 year old (and up) children. I can't say I'm surprised because I've got a few friends and family members in such situations, but that's crazy to me. In my parents day they were rushing to get out the house! What do you think about this statistic?

Jersey Shore Contract Disputes Resolved

"... The cast negotiations that were holding up the fourth season of Jersey Shore have been resolved, meaning the entire cast has signed on and they'll all be heading to Italy soon. Text 'GTL' to 90999 to donate to Italy's disaster relief fund. [TMZ]"

The Governator

For those of y'all who thought the rumors about the terminator's (Arnold) new cartoon were hilarious are in for a bit of a surprise. Because they aren't rumors! See the first footage of "The Governator" which is set to debut some time in 2012...if we make it that far.

Kinect Video Conference of the Future

I've been out of the regular college community for a while, but I've recently taken a few classes on a campus and seen a number of classes being taught via Skype. From what I hear it is a very popular alternative for classes being taught in multiple locations and online classes. Well check out this system of video conferencing developed at MIT. Really makes a video conferencing session interactive and intelligent for lack of a better word. I could really use something smart like this at work...cuz our video conferences suck! are old school.
