From Gizmodo: I Almost Died Watching This Crazy Guy Ride His Dirt Bike on a Snowy Mountain Ridge
This guy, 87mcmahan87 on YouTube, is one ballsy son of a gun. Just watch this video. He recorded himself zooming around on his motorbike on a super skinny and snowy mountain ridge in Colorado. I almost died watching him balance, teeter and tease fate like a madman. If he slipped up, he would’ve came crashing down to his death. More »

From Engadget: Dutch court rejects Apple appeal, says Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is legal
Finally!!! I hope this is a sign back to normalcy for business… Apple needs to quit it!
=================================================================
A court in the Hague has just cleared the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 for sale in the Netherlands, rejecting Apple’s requests for a nationwide ban. As NU.nl reports, a different Dutch court had already issued a similar ruling in October, which Cupertino promptly appealed, claiming that Sammy’s slate was too similar to its own iPad 2. Today, though, the Court of the Hague shot down Apple’s arguments, determining that there are enough differences between the two products to legally justify their coexistence. Granted, this is only one of manypatent battles that the two companies are currently waging, but for today, at least, it looks like Samsung has come out on top.[Thanks, Rolfski]

From Engadget: RIM stock falls eight percent following CEO transition
Ouch. RIM, the maker of Blackberry, just can’t seem to catch a break…
================================================================
We rarely meddle with stock news around these parts, but this was a pretty significant piece of meat to chew on. After Research in Motion introduced Thorsten Heins as the new CEO last night and again in a conference call this morning, the company’s stock price tumbled a whopping 8.47 percent. When it comes to what kind of difference the transition will make for the struggling company, we haven’t had a high amount of confidence; while we hope for the best and want to see RIM turn things around, the falling stock appears to indicate that we’re not alone in expressing concerns about this morning’s events. Here’s some food for thought: when rumorsthat Samsung was interested in purchasing RIM flooded the internet, the latter company’s stocks spiked by nearly ten percent.
