Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines....
  • Despite Twitter's firmly established place among the Web's elite, saying that Facebook dominates social networking in terms of market share still remains a massive understatement. The micro-blogging service has steadily incorporated new themes to strengthen its capabilities, though, most recently in a new Twitpic face-tagging feature that competes with Facebook's similar system.

  • For over 20 years, the Onion has provided readers with a variety of free satirical services, including the seminal paper publication and the free Onion News Network podcasts. "America's Finest News Source" will soon experiment with a pay model, though, with 'Future: News From the Year 2137,' a program broadcast through wormholes "directly into the right eye of every viewer through technology known as 'EyeStreaming.'" [From: Mashable]
  • After its first day on the market, Sprint boasted that the Evo 4G had racked up "three times" the sales figures of the Palm Pre and Samsung Instinct over their first three days combined. A deflated Sprint had to quit patting itself on the back, though, later quietly acquiescing that the sales numbers were more likely "in line with" Palm and Samsung. [From: Engadget]
  • LG is attempting to capitalize on the mystifying 'Twilight' craze with a new devoted phone, but teenyboppers and vampire nerds in the U.S. will be left thirsty and vengeful. Over in France, the company has released a special GD510, including eight brooding vampire wallpapers, an emblazoned rear cover and a "free" 'Twilight: New Moon' DVD for $238. [From: Engadget]
  • Google recently released its impressive Voice program, and the Voice Search feature just received a significant upgrade in terms of diversity. French, German, Italian and Spanish users now possess the ability to utilize the app in their native tongues, and Google also reportedly hopes to follow suit with the rest of the world's various languages. [From: The Next Web]
  • Google continues to bolster its already expansive catalog of offerings, including the formidable Gmail. The company just simplified the e-mail service's video chat, voice chat and group chat services with easier start-up options, and more obvious action icons. [From: Gmail Blog]
