A Geeky Night at the Oscars, Obama's Mission to Mars

Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines....
  • Ben Stiller frequently steals the spotlight at the Oscars with ridiculous costumes and zany routines. At this year's ceremony, though, his passionate love for the Na'vi from 'Avatar' apparently overpowered his desire for laughs. Stiller dressed as a blue-hued humanoid in a hilariously uncomfortable routine honoring James Cameron's epic. [From: Geekosystem]
  • Miley Cyrus and Keanu Reaves weren't the only personalities to elicit an Oscars' "What are they doing here?" moment last night. Apparently, Apple CEO and Disney-majority-shareholder Steve Jobs (or his Hollywood doppelganger) was spotted schmoozing on the red carpet. [From: CNET]
  • President Obama received some nerdy criticism when news leaked last month that NASA's return to the moon would suffer from impending budget cuts. The President will reportedly address that budget situation in April, when he is expected to outline plans for an eventual trip to Mars. [From: Reuters]
  • Gamers with Macs are receiving two tidbits of awesome, and, in one case, long overdue news. Valve's 'Portal 2' will actually be available for Macs when it's released this coming fall. The social gaming network Steam, which has hundreds of downloadable titles, is also reported to be coming to Macs for the first time. [From: TUAW]
  • Android phones are now available from all four major wireless carriers: AT&T has officially released its Motorola Backflip, and it costs $99.99 (after mail-in rebate) with a two-year plan. [From: Engadget]

I'm, like, okay with being a little crazy.

The time, energy, words, weight lost, nails bitten, scabs picked and nights I've struggled thru for this are easy to judge from afar, right?
