Yeah, so did we…. So let’s just begin this week with the fine folks at Yahoo.  Seems they want to revamp their site, so they’ve hitched their trailer onto the Facebook wagon.  Will it work?  It probably has the same chance of success as The Gore’s marriage.  (Perhaps Al finally figured out that he was married to someone named “Tipper”)  Hey, speaking of Al, how about that electric car thingy.  Seems you might have a few more places to charge your new Chevy Volt now that charging stations are finally arriving.

Not that the folks over at the Mars project will care… they’re now locked in with each other for the next 520 days.  Let’s hope someone brought a good mix tape.  When they finally get around to going to Mars, perhaps the man behind PayPal will be the one taking them there, now that he has his own pet rocket.

This week we also look to the future, much as unheralded genius Robert Boyle did 200 years ago.  Although we probably won’t be quite as accurate as he was.  Good thing we have tech guru Cory Doctrow around to sit down for a chat, and tell us his opinions of the 12 events that will change everything.

All that, plus Apple vs Android, the psychology of fanboyism, and what exactly an intrepid reporter found in a SoCal junkyard. (hint… “You’re gonna need a bigger tow truck.”)

Oh yeah, and there was some sort of iPhone thing this week…?
