Ever since the release of the iPhone 4, Apple has been dogged with reports of spotty reception and the dreaded “antenna problem"... If you hold the phone in a certain way the phone loses all five bars and the call is lost!!
So, because this is a huge issue, Apple decided to do something about it: Until September 30th, they are offering a FREE “bumper” case to all iPhone 4 users - The fact that Apple is admitting that they are wrong is one thing, but to give away a product for free that they regularly charge $29 for is even more amazing!!

The premise of the new bill:
"We have to defend ourselves against a hypothetical attack by a foreign power on this country’s computers over the Internet."

Heidi Montag is so broke & desperate, she's now using her Twitter account to advertise products and services for pay!!
Her recent tweets include promoting a discount website:

And she even goes as far as linking to a dating site:
"Maybe being single wasn't such a bad idea after all… h**tp://bit.ly/9z**** (Ad)"

ZackTaylor.ca, TheDirty.com, and the parent company of HotOrNot.com, recently placed a bid to buyout PerezHilton.com, and unfortunately, Perez says he doesn't want our combined $20 million offer!!
In an interview with US Weekly Magazine earlier this week:
US: There are reports you're getting ready to sell your blog for $20 million. Would you do that to enter to music business full time?
No. What's so funny about that is that it was clearly a pathetic publicity stunt by these two competing gossip blogs, and the media got tricked into believing it and picking it up as a story. I'm kind of flattered that people want to use me for press, it means I'm relevant. I don’t want to sell, because [blogging] is not a job for me, and I don't know what I'd do without it.

There is a global crisis happening RIGHT NOW... Twitter has exploded!!
Twitter found an embarrassing bug on its hands earlier today... A server glitch allowed people to FORCE others to "Follow" them, thus creating chaos amongst users!!
To help solve and fix the problem, Twitter switched everybody's account to "0 Following / 0 Followers" aka making everyone equal...
"World peace?! We are all equal now! Retweet if u have the best 0 followers in the world"
"Somebody call Chuck Norris!!"
"Can we blame The Jonas Brothers for this?"
"cuz u ain't no follow back girl #twittercrash2010"
"Hey twitter - I think you need a math tutor... it says I'm not following anyone... yet I still get @ZackTaylor's ugly face on my updates"
"For once i'm just as popular as @JustinBieber thanks Twitter Crash"
"Justin Bieber is as popular as me. He should feel lucky today!"
"I feel so lonley!!!!! Lol :) come back soon. I can't live without yall!!! :( can somebody send me some followers pls lol"
"Twitter is giving me a chance to start over again... Or does it mean the world is ending?"
No word yet from Twitter on when this might be fixed and if they’ll be able to do undo the damage.

This week, Research in Motion, the company behind the BlackBerry Smartphone, announced their newest software version, BlackBerry 6!!
This will be the company's attempt to compete with the iPhone, integrating advanced touchscreen features and a fast web browser, things that were lacking in previous versions. They are going after the people who love their BlackBerry Messenger but are being attracted to the thousands of enticing apps in the Apple App Store. With BlackBerry 6, RIM promises great apps, an intuitive interface and improvements to the programs we already love about it, including BBM and Facebook. We will have to wait until later this year to see it in action.

He just wants money... and he’s using me, my name, my status, my mother, brothers and sister for the cash to pay for [another] wedding."
