Apple 'Friend Bar' Excites Mac Fans, Making of 'AT-AT Afternoon'

Apple Friend Bar
There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • The Onion News Network's crack news team returns with a piece on the new Apple Store 'Friend Bar,' which gives Mac users someone to talk to about "their impeccably organized iTunes library." [From: The Onion]
  • The precious 'AT-AT Afternoon' video gets a 'making of', chock full of green (and red) screen goodness, stop-motion trickery and tons of puppeting fun. [From: Likecool]
  • The new Web Apps Exchange weds the Digg voting and recommendation formula to your questions about Google, Facebook, Dropbox and other sites. Though it only recently launched, the site already has helpful hints and tips on everything from pruning your Google Reader feeds to managing your contacts. [From: Web Apps]
  • The new U.S. Cyber Command's logo comes with a built-in mystery code: 9ec4c12949a4f31474f299058ce2b22a. You'll probably need more than an Enigma machine to crack that. [From: Danger Room]
