In honor of LGBT Pride month, Bryan Safi celebrates the mother of all invention: gay men who want to get laid. From bandannas to toe-tapping to Manhunt to Grindr, if there's a way to find other ready and willing dudes, gay men have made the technology to seal the deal even faster.
Every day this week, infoMania's Bryan Safi, host of "That's Gay," will release an exclusive web extra about some of the reasons he's so proud to be gay.
Then tune into Current TV on Thursday at 10/9c for Bryan's special infoMania segment about Gay Pride -- or, as he likes to call it, Gay New Year. It's time to take a long, hard look at the last 12 months and ask ourselves: Just what are we so proud of?
infoMania is a half-hour satirical news show that airs on Current TV. The show puts a comedic spin on the 24-hour chaos and information overload brought about by the constant bombardment of the media. Hosted by Conor Knighton and co-starring Brett Erlich, Ben Hoffman, Bryan Safi, Sergio Cilli and Erin Gibson, the show airs on Thursdays at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific Times and can be found online at http://current.com/infomania/ or on Current TV.In honor of LGBT Pride month, Bryan Safi celebrates the mother of all invention: gay... more

A look at innovations that have changed music forever.
http://ronebreak.com/2010/02/11/the-liberation-of-music-a-look-at-innovations-that-changed-music/
EXCERPT: "The era of instantly accessible music began when Edison took the simple leap of faith that led to the phonograph. The phonograph evolved into record players then tape decks then Discmans and now hard drives—most notably the market-dominating iPod by Apple. For years, “the speaking machine” was a fixture of fiction, and despite the efforts to produce such a device, all attempts could not get the recording of sound to playback. But on the day in 1877, when John Kruesi said and heard the nursery rhyme, “Mary Had A Little Lamb”, the state of not just music, but culture, was permanently altered..."A look at innovations that have changed music forever.... more

Imagine being able to use your smart phone to accept credit card payments at your annual yard sale. The Square team has been developing this innovative service since February, 2009, and just launched its beta phase. Their goal is to bring "immediacy, transparency, and approachability to the world of payments: an inherently social interaction each of us participates in daily." Square's innovation is a small adapter that plugs into the audio impute jack of any smart phone. After setting up an online account, you can use this adapter to accept credit card payments for anything. Square eliminates receipts, gives rewards and even donates a penny from every purchase to a cause of your choice. Beyond shopping, this little device offers a powerful tool to anyone who needs to raise money. It could be scaled to meet a variety of needs, like increasing community donations for a cause or an emergency. Check out this awesome product intro video to see Square in action.

The Ontario governments announcement last week of a $7 billion 'manufacturing' investment deal with Samsung has been met with a large amount of criticism and scorn. Many people are wondering why a back room agreement had to be utilized to hook the South Korean giant. With all the government bailouts and corporate malfeasance that has littered the business landscape of late, how could a 'subsidy incentive' program - provided for a foreign conglomerate - bode well for the liberals? ----> http://wp.me/pC6Bw-lhThe Ontario governments announcement last week of a $7 billion... more
