A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Looks like Spore is coming to the iPhone, too. People, do you know what weekend it is? It's Super Smash Bros. Brawl launch weekend!! GameStop will be holding Brawl tournaments and midnight launches this Saturday at 2,500 of its stores, including a number in Philadelphia (via). Joystiq has their own first impressions of the game, as well as a metareview. Finally, they also......

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. The concept of controlling a computer and/or a video game with only your mind has been around for a long time, and lately it's been getting closer and closer to reality. Now it looks like the reality is finally here: a neuro-headset which interprets the interaction of neurons in the brain and sends them wirelessly to a USB dongle connected to your computer......

TelePhillyist doesn't usually publish on the weekends, but we just had to sneak on and let you know that even geeks who don't care about football have a good reason to tune into the Super Bowl tonight. At approximately 7:30PM, a new ad for the upcoming Iron Man film (due for release May 2nd) will premiere during the game. Shortly after its TV debut, the ad will be available on Apple.com, Marvel.com, and the......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Fortune has ranked its Six Leaps of Innovation, rounding up what and whom to keep an eye on in 2008, and #5 is West Conshohocken's own Josh Kopelman. (Via Emily) It's a new local blog! This one is in support of a grassroots campaign to create an annual holiday celebrating the greatest state ever, Pennsylvania! Pennsylvania Day would be on March......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. You might have heard about a little game called Halo 3 getting released late last night/early this morning. Game|Life has the details on the midnight release party at a Best Buy in Manhattan, while Joystiq covers a non-launch in Boston and an actual, celebrity-infested launch in LA. Beware, however! Rumor is that the limited edition packaging for the......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Apparently, in the next three to 10 years we're expecting scientists to create artificial life. Um... does that freak anybody else out?! Didn't Dr. Frankenstein decide this was a bad idea? If you've even seen the ads for Superbad, you know there's a sequence where a character creates a fake ID with the name "McLovin" on it. Well, now you can......

LAist is experimenting with blogging dates from J-Date, but finds the best men are found offline. Some date vicariously online and that is one reason why porn is big -- really freaking big -- so they ask if they should cover XXX since the heart of it lays in the city's San Fernando Valley. A writer grapples with her food porn photography obsession, another gets censored on Flickr, one gets scooped by the LA......

If you didn't know anything about the band Trans Am (which, just for yucks, let's assume we didn't), and were basing your preconceptions of them entirely on their name, you might think they're a straight-ahead classic rock outfit with lots of guitars and songs about engines. But in fact their latest disc, Sex Change (released in February on the Thrill Jockey label), is filled with instrumental, synth-heavy, poppy post rock, and is overall pure......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. It's Friday the 13th, and Cinematical has a nice present for us, in honor of the holiday. We usually find ourselves talking about a different Penn University around here, but Penn State is having a rap contest to build excitement about their big college football celebration, Blue & White Weekend on April 20 and 21st, and that's amusing. See the entries here (you......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Man, that is one awesome billboard. (Via) Zidane vs. Materazzi, the game! It's pointless, silly, and over in seconds, but...well, come to think of it, that's pretty much the criteria we use to pick things out for this post! (Via) And just in case you still haven't seen enough representations of this infamous moment, here's another one. Finally, somebody's figured out how to......
