When Rebecca Black hit the scene with her single “Friday,” you probably remember the Internet, as well as yourself, flipping out at the ridiculousness of the song. Though she came under a decent amount of flack and the song rose to meteoric popularity because of how bad it is, her (currently former) producer, Patrice Wilson, took an equal amount, if not more, flack than the singer herself. You may remember Wilson as the guy in “Friday” who rapped in the car. Now, he’s made a direct sequel to Black’s “Friday.” It is called “H.A.P.P.Y.,” and it is about Saturday morning.

It seems like not that long ago that smartphones were the exception rather than the rule. In fact, chances are that most of you can remember a time before you could just assume everyone had a mobile phone of any kind. That’s probably because that wasn’t too long ago. As it turns out, smartphones — specifically — are on track to being the most quickly adopted tech in the history of tech.

If you needed something fun to do tonight or for the next decade (or more) until Portal 3 releases, the Portal 2 Perpetual Testing Initiative DLC is now available. In non-hilarious, real-life non-Portal terms, that’s the game’s level creator. It’s free, and if that doesn’t tickle your seemingly untickleable fancy, the DLC contains new Cave Johnson dialogue, and he was your favorite part of Portal 2. Don’t deny it. Since you rightly love him so much, check out his hilarious letter to all of you regarding the level creator below. He’s angry.

Methane is a leading greenhouse gas, and the producers of methane — including cows and other ruminants — are often singled out as a possible contributor to global climate change. However, it seems that they may not have been the first to do so. A new study published in Current Biology has pegged the entire output of giant sauropod dinosaurs at around 520 million tons of gas every year.

No, I’m actually not talking about Bing. Million Short is a search engine that provides you with less-than-revelant results on purpose as a kind of experiment in web trawling. If you want to find something old, obscure, or weird on the Internet, search engines like Google — or even Yahoo! — aren’t going to cut it. They’ll get you to what most people want, but maybe that’s not what you want. If so, Million Short has got your back; they slice out the top one million most indexed sites and let you dive right into the weird stuff.

Over in Sri Lanka, a hen gave birth to a live chick. You might recall something about how hens lay eggs, which they then incubate outside of their body, and that they don’t give birth to live anythings at all.

President Obama will be issuing an executive order allowing for sanctions to be imposed on foreign nationals who use technology to violate human rights, the Washington Post reports. The order, which will be given in a speech at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, is intended to bring the U.S. up to speed, in a way, and acknowledge that technology can be both a very useful tool and a very dangerous weapon in the wrong hands. Since the Internet has become a major part of modern protests, like we saw in Egypt, it’s also fallen under fire by many authoritarian governments who would rather see the Internet shut off entirely. With the issuance of this order, the U.S. will be officially opposed to that sort of behavior, specifically in cases where it enables widespread violence and mass murder.

Last week we wrote about Pebble, an e-paper smartwatch that synced with iPhones and Androids, with the ability to show you what was happening on your phone while your phone was, for example, in your pocket. If you fancy watches, this one verged on awesome. At the time of our last post regarding the watch, the project reached over $800,00 of their $100,000 goal. Now? With 29 days to go, the project is nearing $5 million in funding, with less than $3,000 to go at the time of this post.

When Windows 8 hits the market (unofficially) in October of this year, we’re going to be getting a few different versions of the new operating system. Whereas Apple likes to keep things neat and tidy with their one version, Microsoft usually likes to provide a few options in order to service a wider market. This time around, Windows 8 will release in three different versions: Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, and Windows RT.

Pretty much everything is digital now, so who needs CDs? Not me, and probably not you. Fortunately, Amazon understands and has announced that it’d like to do you a solid and take them off your hands for you. What’s more, you’ll get Amazon gift cards for them. Amazon has accepted trade-ins for Amazon bucks for a while now, but they’ve only just recently opened up the program to music CDs. I’m sure I’m not the only one with a collection to unload.
