With all this talk about the upcoming Xbox One, of course mention of the equally not-yet-released PS4 is inevitable. But which console will I still not have by this time tomorrow?

I know one thing:@VloggerFair is a sooner sure thing than either one of 'em!

How much has tween titter use grown? Significantly? When I was a tween, we would titter at suggestive novelty songs on the Doctor Demento Show and guffaw about obsolete technology like 8 track tapes.

But 21st century tweens have different things to titter about. Like some guy on YouTube who can't tell you a darned thing about teen Twitter use.

But he does know a thing or two about the proper pronunciation of GIF. Are you saying it wrong? Watch the video, find out, and join in the conversation!

Yesterday, Microsoft announced the Xbox One, and there was much rejoicing. Now I'm just going to have to figure out what to do with all of my Xbox 360s... I know that the games won't be backwards compatible, but I don't really use 'em for gaming much, anyway.

Some have suggested that I just build a PC to do the job if I'm mainly using the consoles as media players, and that's a fair point. But if the Xbox One has the staying power of the Xbox 360, I believe I'm still taking the path of least resistance by investing in a couple to suit my particular needs.

What do you guys think? Check out the video below, join in the conversation, and share with your friends if you think they have some good insights about the announcement, too!

I've been an "entrepreneur" since 1996, and my business has had its fair share of both ups and downs. 

What you should know is that the top source of funding small businesses in the US is out of personal savings (not to mention a TON of "personal time" and sweat). This, according to a report commissioned by Intel and Dell. 

I've never taken external funding (VC or angel money), unless you count the $50 my mom gave me back when LockerGnome first started. I've always figured out a way to avoid any kind of debt - though it's been an uphill battle, and I'm not sure what the future will hold for me.
