<h2>1. G-Mail : You got the Wrong Bob Feature</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">The Rundown: &#8220;<a title="Click here to read more posts tagged GOT THE WRONG BOB" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/got-the-wrong-bob/" target="_blank">Got the Wrong Bob</a>?&#8221; is a new <a title="Click here to read more posts tagged GOOGLE LABS" href="http://gizmodo.com/tag/google-labs/" target="_blank">Google Labs</a> feature that you can turn on in Gmail. It works by analyzing groups of people that you usually email together. For example, if you accidentally include your boss Hank in with your normal key party invite group when you meant to invite country singer Hank Williams Jr., well, Gmail will ask if you meant this Hank instead of that Hank. This will in turn save you a boatload of awkwardness (or a magical night where you learn more about your boss than you ever thought possible, but that&#8217;s neither here nor there). -Gizmodo via <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OfficialGmailBlog/~3/EGo5rixSiZ8/new-in-labs-got-wrong-bob.html" target="_blank">G-Mail Blog</a></p>

<h2>2. Barnes &amp; Noble eBook Reader Debut</h2>
<p>Pretty self explanatory, the book overlords at Barnes &amp; Noble have had a eBook in the slow cooker for quite some time. Rumors have ranged from color screen, WiFi, 3G, and the other miscellaneous features you&#8217;d come to expect from an eBook reader. Conference is October 20th. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/barnes-and-noble-hosting-event-on-october-20-ebook-a-lock/" target="_blank">Via Engadget</a></p>

<h2>3. Mystery Google</h2>
<p>Just when I thought the Google couldn&#8217;t get any more mysterious and or paradoxical, I find myself kicking myself for ever questioning the Google in the first place. Nonetheless, the Mystery Google is a site that upon searching <span style="text-decoration: underline;">anything</span>, fetches the results from the search done right before you. This can lead to many intriguing searches, i.e. searching <em>Poop</em> yields a simple response &#8220;Google is not a toilet&#8221;. If you ask why I jumped right to Googling poop, it&#8217;s because my initial search of &#8220;running&#8221; returned search results for <strong>Oh Shit!</strong>. I swear. <a href="http://www.mysterygoogle.com"><strong>MysteryGoogle</strong></a></p>

Polaroid Classic Instant Cameras</h2>
<p>Again, pretty self-explanatory. However, for those out of the loop Polaroid is re-debuting their iconic Polaroid instant-use cameras. Offerings will include the Polaroid standard camera printing to a number of film formats; namely, Polaroid 600 and Polaroid One. Also, America&#8217;s camera company darling has stated they also will be releasing a new model, the Polaroid Three &#8211; that will print a 4&#215;3&#8243; while you wait. <a href="http://stuff.tv/News/Polaroid-classic-instant-film-cameras-to-make-a-comeback/13461/" target="_blank">Via Stuff.Tv</a></p>
<h2>5. TechCrunch Explains Why Desktop Touch Screens Suck</h2>
<p>Touch screens, flat. Desktops, sitting in front of you. Position while using a touch screen desktop in front of you, unergonomic and uncomfortable. Read why HP&#8217;s wannabe touch desktop series of machines won&#8217;t ever see outside the rich suburban kitchen. <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/12/why-touch-screens-on-the-desktop-dont-really-work/" target="_blank">Via TechCrunch</a></p>
