Foxtrot should be part of any self-respecting geek's weekly dose of funny, but this week's strip takes the cake. If you're into web comics at all, check it out... :)
(The references are to Gabe & Tycho's Penny Arcade, Scott Kurtz' Player vs Player, Randall Munroe's XKCD, and Nitrozac and Snaggy's The Joy Of Tech comics, all of which are part your complete breakfast. Kid tested, mother approved.)
This is a classic. I had forgotten about this until tonight when I found myself humming it for no good reason... Just thought I'd share...
Who are you?
From Channel Frederator, a compendium of all of the viral Internet video stars. Ahhh, memories...
Oh noes!
From YesButNoButYes: high-larious comic book panels. Gotta love the way language has a way of mutating through the ages.

Articles like this are the reason I keep reading "The Onion". Personally, I'm waiting for _one more thing_, maybe the iJobs?
From the article:
SAN FRANCISCO—At a highly anticipated media event Tuesday at San Francisco's Moscone Center, Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs introduced a new Apple product he said would "revolutionize" the process of unveiling new products throughout the world.
"In 1984, Apple introduced the Mac," Jobs said to an overflowing crowd as an image of the first Macintosh computer was displayed on a giant screen behind him. "We changed the face of the music industry with the first iPod in 2001. And in January, we showed off the revolutionary new iPhone. Today, Apple is releasing a piece of innovative new technology that will forever change the way innovative new technology is released."
The iLaunch, as the new product is called, was then raised up from below the stage, prompting the audience of technology journalists, developers, and self-professed "Apple fanatics" to burst into a five-minute standing ovation.
"Get ready for the future of product introduction," said Jobs, looking resplendent in a black turtleneck and faded jeans. "The iLaunch will be able to make announcements from this, or any other stage, making human participation in generating consumer awareness almost entirely unnecessary."
"Frito Lay Introduces Line Of Healthy Snacks --
PLANO, TX—With the recent trend of wholesome snack foods reaching "truly ridiculous proportions," Frito-Lay announced Monday that it would, against its better judgment, roll out a new line of healthy fruit-and-vegetable-based chips next February.
"Here," said Frito-Lay CEO Al Carey as he disgustedly tossed a bag of the company's new Flat Earth-brand snack crisps onto the lectern during a meeting with shareholders and members of the press. "Here's some shit that's made from beets. I hope you're all happy now that you have your precious beet chips with the recommended daily serving of fruit, or vegetables, or whatever the hell a 'beet' is."
"Mmm, dehydrated bulb things," Carey added. "Sounds delicious."
My favorite line from the 'news' article:
"Weren't Sun Chips healthy enough for you, you goddamn hippie bastards?"
