It’s such a shame, because the only problem I have with the Palm Pre is the hardware. I love webOS, it is so far the best phone OS that I’ve ever used. But I really dislike the shape and overall feel of the hardware.
New pictures and specs of the Palm Pre 2: 1GHz processor and 512MB RAM | PreCentral.net: This is not impressive at all and really not what most of the WebOS community wanted. If Palm is to survive in the mobile arena the it will need to come up with much better hardware than the Pre. - techflux

Boing Boing Video is proud to debut a second video from the forthcoming music documentary N.A.S.A. (Myspace Link), directed by Syd Garon and Sage Vaughn, who also created the art. The track is “Way Down,” and features RZA (of Wu Tang fame), vocalist Barbie Hatch, and John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers.) If you dig the track, you can buy the entire N.A.S.A. “Spirit of Apollo” album on Amazon here. There is not one tosser in the collection, the whole project is amazing.

My friend requested his friends send him links to amazing YouTube videos, in order for him to compile a playlist to loop during a party. This has lead me down a path I like to call “Reliving the Magic”.
