While most Super Bowl ads tout products you can eat, drink or drive, the smattering for tech products have been among the game’s most memorable commercials. This year Best Buy, Time Warner Cable and Cars.com will continue their Super Bowl ad traditions, while BlackBerry will run its first game time ad – a bit of a Hail Mary for the struggling smartphone manufacturer.

Samsung Galaxy Note users are probably extremely familiar with their S-Pen as it’s accompanied both Galaxy Note devices and the Galaxy Note 10.1 and add something to those devices that no other pen-like accessory can accomplish. If you’re not a fan of the Galaxy Note’s stylus, it looks as though you’ll be stuck with it for some time as Samsung has made an investment in a company, which indicates its stylus accessories will be here to stay.
Samsung purchased 5% of Wacom, which is a company that manufactures one of the top designer tablets around, totaling an investment of $58.2 million. Purchasing 5% of Wacom will hopefully give Samsung more features for its stylus accessories.
Not only that, but considering how Samsung is promoting its Note products to be used by designers, among other uses, having Wacom help in producing some designer-focused features for new Note products would make those devices even more appetizing.
Or maybe Samsung purchasing Wacom has to do with the rumor of the Samsung Galaxy S4 coming with a stylus.

Following a tropical storm, sea foam whipped up along the Sunshine Coast of Australia was so intense that it covered the streets of a beach town and rose high enough to nearly block traffic lights and mobile homes.
In the video footage above, a couple can be seen wading through the waist-high foam. The woman snaps pictures using a cell phone camera, while the man navigates the foam until it’s all the way up to his neck.
The blanket of foam came as the result of Tropical Cyclone Oswald, which recently produced high winds, small tornadoes and extensive flooding on the east coast of Australia. The storm required thousands of people to be evacuated from their homes.

Beyonce spoke to the media at a Super Bowl press conference Thursday afternoon, just days before she’ll take perhaps the nation’s biggest stage during the game’s halftime show. But she started the show her way: By singing the national anthem, live.
“Does anybody have any questions?” she asked after completing the impressive performance.
“I am a perfectionist,” she explained when asked about the inaugural performance, explaining that she chose to use “a backing track” due to a lack of sound check and the high stakes surrounding the event. “I’m very proud of my performance,” she added.
Actor Jason London made headlines when he was arrested and charged with assault and disorderly conduct over a bar fight and accusations that he later defecated in a patrol car on his way to jail, on Jan. 29.
A mugshot of the 40-year-old shows him swollen and bruised and a rep for the actor claims London was victimized during the incident, alleging that he was subjected to a “brutal attack,” and his injuries reflect “skilled and intentionally inflicted injury and harm.”
“The details of the events leading up to the incident are still being worked out with the help of many eyewitness testimonies, people who were there with Jason for the duration of the evening and with the recollection Jason does have,” London’s rep told E! News on Wednesday.

Reuters photographer Goran Tomasevic returned to Syria earlier this month, where he has been traveling the war-torn streets of Damascus with the Free Syrian Army. His past 24 hours were especially harrowing, as he accompanied an FSA group on an attack mission. Tomasevic captured the scene as one rebel was shot and killed in front of him by a government sniper. Just an hour later, he managed to keep taking photos as a tank shell slammed into a wall just above him and a group of fighters, sending chunks of plaster and concrete onto their heads. These images bring home with power and immediacy the frightening reality of Syria’s urban warfare — this all happened just yesterday — but they offer just a few glimpses of this long, bloody uprising.

WASHINGTON — Seventy-three years ago to the day, Ida May Fuller of Ludlow, Vt., was issued the first Social Security check.
