(OK, OK, BoomTown=Guilty of Yahoomania, so unless Google sends server-equipped troops on those goofy bicycles to attack Microsoft’s Redmond, Wash., HQ today, besides this, we’ll give it a day off and get back to smacking around the widget economy.)

The first is about Web “trolls,” who plague politicians’ Web sites by posting negative comments and links; the second looks at the Geek Squad of Best Buy; the third is about Queen Elizabeth II’s new YouTube site; and the fourth looks at a blogger who posts critically while also living in Havana, no easy task.

While Stewart is known for her focus on home-making skills, some might not know that she is also a bit of a geek, who has been a fixture at many tech events over the years.

AND, AS USUAL, MORE GOOFY WIDGETS FOR FACEBOOK! (And you know what we think of them!)

This time, it’s a collective of technologists and artists who are creating robotic musical instruments out of slime and other odd materials.

Ew! (Except for Slinky music, which is brilliant, as are all experiences one might have with what is arguably the greatest toy ever invented.)

Lightning and video games–Ouch!

Are you a hostage of Webkinz? So are we!

Some are worried about eBay’s recent financial results and some are not:

It’s good to be pregnant at Google (but maybe not so good to be old), including–no joke–”Expectant Mother Parking” spots:

Seagate CEO Bill Watkins, who is a firecracker, talks about the drive-maker’s sharp earnings:

Tesla Motors’ Martin Eberhard (they love him in Silicon Valley) on the first electrical roadsters:

And Lenovo tries to grow a global business against competitors like Acer, IBM and Dell, although there is also a rural PC for farmers. So says Bill Amelio, CEO of the Chinese computer maker:

Making Lego movies–stop-motion films called “brickfilm”–which are a lot more gripping than a lot out there (but not much!):
