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.
  • BoingBoing shows off the best thing to come out of weeks of iPhone 4 shenanigans: photo and video of Apple's surreal, echo-free antenna testing center. [From: BoingBoing]
  • Way back in April 1999, Wired magazine wrote, "The next iMac attack promises new lollipop laptops, a more serious series of professional machines, and a wireless handheld dubbed the iPad." For an industry that's so consistently off when it comes to rumor-mongering and guesses at the next Apple product, this may become a legendary tech prediction. [From: Reddit]
  • Attend any tech industry event or hang out with designers, publishers or the IT crew, and you're bound to hear loads of social media marketing buzzwords. Jesse Brown nails it: "Spitballing... helicopter view... blue sky." Exactly. [From: YouTube]
  • LTL Prints interviews Yiying Lu, the 'Fail Whale' creator, revealing that everyone's favorite digital cetacean was almost an elephant. [From: LTL Prints]
