Why not share the fun by use the social bookmarking feature.

Here’s our Top 5 Social Friday Stories

1. New iPhone Comes Loaded with Photos of the Girl Who Made It - We’ve seen pictures from the factory coming loaded on new iPhones before, but this is the first time we’ve seen what appear to be intentional snapshots loaded on a new iPhone.

2. British Government Caught Pirating On PMs Website- While the British government puts huge amounts of pressure on ISPs to clamp down on file-sharers, it is doing some pirating of its very own.

3. Compact Disk (CD) Turns 26 and It Still Won’t Die - Another birthday for the CD has come and gone and yet the damn things just won’t die. On Aug. 17th, 1982, the Compact Disc was born into an age of rampant consumerism that was the 1980s.

4. Project Hovercraft - The goal of this project was to build a working remote controlled hovercraft while spending as little money as possible.

5. Hack Your Wii for Homebrew Apps and DVD Playback - Despite the fact that it ships with a DVD drive, for whatever godforsaken reason, the Nintendo Wii doesn’t support DVD playback, until last week.
