Recently, on YouTube, there has been a surge of “Sh*t Says” videos – most-popularly, “Sh*t Girls Say” – highlighting stereotypical behaviors of a given group. Now, tech bloggers have a video we can finally relate to.

“Sh*t Silicon Valley Says” underlines all the things one might expect to hear living in the San Francisco area, or, say, at an event like CES 2012 or MacWorld. And it’s nothing like “Pandora for cats…” I mean, if that’s a bad thing. Full video below.

Hello everyone, and welcome to Tremors and Rumors for this week!

This is just a pretty store. I kind of want one.

A lot of hot new topics have come down the wire lately. For instance, a major computer maker has released new academically-based applications.

Are you serious? A 3D phone?!?! After playing with the Sprint HTC EVO 3D smartphone, I actually found myself turning off the 3D feature. The 3D feature requires you to view at a certain angle and distance to get the optimal view. Even though it beats wearing 3D glasses, I don’t see much need for this feature on a phone.
