Good Morning once again- It’s Monday, so you know what that means- it’s Manic Monday. Let’s go:

• Facebook’s new vanity URL’s were the highlight of the weekend.
• In fact, 200,000 users added vanity URL’s in 3 minutes (me included).
• Sadly, though, the best one has already been taken.
• Moving on, WWDC was this week.
• The iPhone 3GS was announced, but it’s not as important as the previous one.
• Apple’s super MacBook Pro battery has been extended down the line.
• Safari 4 was also finalized- and was downloaded 11 Million times in 3 days.
• And if you’re looking for an iPhone 3GS, it’s too late to pre-buy; they’re out!
• Moving on, Ubuntu is looking for another milestone: A ten second boot time.
• Microsoft will soon have free anit-virus software. Yea right!
• And this month is the 10 year anniversary of Napster.

And that’s this week’s Manic Monday. I mentioned last week in my WWDC coverage that I would purchase one of the new MacBook Pros very soon. I am happy to announce that I have made that purchase, and it should be at my door by the end of the week. Again, I will keep you posted, and I’m going to try and post some un-boxing photos. Enjoy!

Good Morning- hopefully you had a great Easter weekend (and celebrated the real reason of Easter). But now- on to technology. Let’s take a look with this week’s Manic Monday.

• Gmail: 5 years and it’s still in beta! Here’s why.
• iTunes launches variable pricing (we already talked about this last tuesday).
• CompUSA risen from the dead? No- they are not Jesus of Nazareth.
• BBC to plug BitTorrent downloads.
• And this just in- snow is flying in Hell.
• Apple admits to MacBook cracking- will fix it for free (Good news for me).
• Guilty or Not Guilty? That is the question facing Pirate bay.
• Ubuntu 9.04 boots in 17.5 seconds. Nice!
• Chrome progress is being made on a Linux version. Still no Mac version, though.
• Facebook messes up your GPA? Yea right!

And that’s this week’s Manic Monday. I will be posting all five days this week- so stay tuned for some more great tech content. Enjoy!

Good Morning! After two and a half weeks of Flood Fighting (okay, minus the second half of last week for rest), Wired For Gadgets is back. And what a better way to start then with Manic Monday!

• Digg’s new product, DiggBar launched on Friday
• Google’s form of an April Fool’s Joke. I thought it was quite good!
• Angry villagers run Google Street View out of town
• U.S. President given power to shutdown individual websites? I don’t think so.
• Time Warner is now following Comcast’s footsteps. Stop the madness!
• Microsoft has announced there is now only one Version of Windows 7. Pheww!
• And Skype is now live for iPhone/iPod Touch.
• But, it’s WiFi only. Is that right? The FCC’s looking at it.
• Moving on, Best Buy Taking Over Circuit City Credit Cards. Uh oh…
• Think Facebook’s photos are too slow? They’ve just fixed that problem.
• Finally, some sad news. Twitter is killing the Auto-Follow feature.

And that’s this week’s Manic Monday. Thank you so much for waiting these last week’s- Fargo has needed the communities help (and I needed sleep). I will also mention the really good possibility that Wired For Gadgets will have a redesign (more like a relaunch) soon, probably next month when the website turns 5. Geek on!

Okay, I know- I’m about 12 hours late. I had to work late last night and early this morning- sooo sorry. That said, here we go:

And that’s this week’s Manic Monday. I do apologize for the wait, and I hope you stay tuned for more stuff to come this week. Enjoy!

Good Morning- here is the US it’s Memorial Day, hence why this didn’t go live until later. That said, here we go:

• Firefox 3 On Track To Be Speediest Browser. Sweet.

And that’s this week’s Manic Monday. I have finals this week, and Gradutation this weekend, so posts might be a bit on the slow side this weekend. However, starting Monday, June 2nd, I’ll be at full posting- one post everyday and a bonus 2 or 3 days a week. Enjoy!
