Oh, and for Slash to not play the last Super Bowl with the Black Eyed Peas — we suppose that makes three. At any rate, at the least we’re moving somewhat in the direction of a reality that solves the center issue, with TeleNav announcing this week that it’ll be implementing “hybrid navigation technology” into its apps (including the new iOS version ) within the very near future.

Sometimes life’s simply too kind, eh?
