- Yep, Siri really sucks. Although I don't really understand why it's being compared to a regular Google search (one that is keyed in). That hardly seems fair.
- GMiDHF.
- Facebook could soon introduce a button similar to the Like button. Any guesses on what it is? Check here to see if you were right.
- TomKat is/are done. You care?
- Fire win!

- Pot tickets what what. [via Nate]
- Sox fans, use your radios for Saturday's and Sunday's games. [via scratcho]
- Chrome is even on iOS now, so you iPhone weenies can enjoy it.
Rough day... Here're two random things to finish it off.
Mark Jackson was the target of an extortion! [Matt actually sent this to me, but I never put it on here. Crazy!]
- Gmail now has 425 million active users. That's one of those numbers that you could divide by 10 and it would still seem right to me. I have no concept of large numbers.

- Hello, goal-line technology!
- Bristolmetrics.
Lots of Google IO information today. Not a Google fan? You might want to skip what I've got below.
- I love that Jelly Bean is being announced before most of us have Ice Cream Sandwich.
- Here're some updates on Google+, for those of you still around.
- Meet the very reasonably priced Nexus 7!

- You can now build with Legos in Chrome. Google does some strange things.
- Are you planning on watching Aaron Sorkin's new show, The Newsroom? Well, perhaps you've already seen it.
- Want to become a better Google searcher? If yes, then enroll in their new class.
- The 30; Funbag.
- For those of you who complain about grunting in women's tennis, you may appreciate the development of the grunt-o-meter. The rest of us will continue to not watch women's tennis.

- A spot in the Olympics for two women could be decided by a coin toss after they tied in the 100-meters.
- A Chinese soccer fan died after staying up 11 straight nights to watch Euro 2012. I don't really have a quip for this - it's just pretty messed up. [via Matt]
- Reducer.
- Every time Gawker redoes its comment system, it gets worse. Why can't they just use something like Disqus, which lets you customize how you view comments? Jesus. I can't think of a site that has a worse system.
- LOL Marlon Byrd.

- Here are the "creepy" letters that Jerry Sandusky wrote to Victim 4.
- Damn, Mark Cuban just completely killed Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith.
- Good lord, Torontometrics presents a different side to Bristolmetrics, but it is also not the type of show I'd like to watch. I don't know which is worse!
- GMiDHF. [NSFW]

I asked Matt to fill in for me today, but he apparently isn't going to. So, feel free to provide some of your own links by either editing this (if you have the rights) or commenting. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

- In news that should surprise nobody, House Hunters is fake. [via scratcho]
- Bristolmetrics.
- It's "Turing Week" at Wired, so check out the LEGO Turing machine.
- Who knew CBS had a sense of humor?

- In addition to making people weep instantly, Adele can also wake people from comas. Really though, that's a pretty cool story.
- Here's what happens when you report someone on Facebook.
- Check out some information on custom themes in Gmail, which I thought already existed. But hey, it's kind of cool.
- Funbag.
- Just fucking put replay in sports, seriously.

- Here's the Premier League schedule for next season, which starts in exactly two months! Woot woot!
- The 30 - three of my teams in the MLB pool are in the top 5. Maybe that explains my current 8-game lead.
- I really enjoy Jimmy Kimmel's holiday pranks.
- What are your thoughts on officers issuing tickets instead of arrests when finding people in possession of small quantities of pot?
- Let's play a new game, called Do you care? Roger Clemens was found not guilty on charges of lying to Congress when he denied using PEDs. Do you care?

- Here's another Conan clip that I found amusing. I love Triumph!
- With every holiday comes the annoying last-minute shopping ads, but I refuse to look past any DD blog post, so here ya go.
- GMiDHF.
- Will elephants still exist in 20 years?
- This isn't really an article so much as it's a statement: Mark Zuckerberg is worth more than Nokia.

- A post on how not to be like Jay Mariotti... don't mind if I do. [tl;dr, Nate]
- This video is for Matt.
- Not too shabby, Ireland supporters. Better than Jeff Garlin.
- What would you do if you got unlimited cash due to an ATM glitch? You probably wouldn't be as awesome as this guy.

- Remember how stupid everyone thought Ping was when it first came out? Do you even remember Ping? Anyway, Apple will discontinue it in the next iTunes update. I doubt a single person will care.
- Here's your GIF of the day.
- I saw this on Conan last night and thought it was really funny, so have a look if you want. [Video auto-plays]
- OK, dogs are pretty smart, but man is this one ugly. [Video auto-plays]
- I can't help but be amused at Floyd Mayweather's prison situation. Apparently he's being treated differently in jail, so he tried to seek house arrest instead.

- Russian fans rule.
- Bristolmetrics - more of the same; Funbag.
- Seems like just about everyone has a marketplace these days. Meet Mozilla's. Ugh.
- The creator of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation created a short film series on YouTube. Maybe those of you hurt by CSI: Miami's cancellation can find joy in this.
- Pizza vending machines... I don't even know what to say.

Sorry for the late entry. Busy day.
- iOS 6! Roughly 95% of my tech news was about Apple today, so consider yourselves lucky that you're only going to get two posts on Apple shit. This is #1.
- And this is #2. The next OS X version is Mountain Lion, which is entirely unexciting.
- Jerry Sandusky had one of his victims sign a contract offering him money in return for seeing Sandusky once a week. Awful. [Warning! Video plays automatically]
- The 30.
- Viva la England! OK, it wasn't a win, but damn it, it wasn't a loss either!

- Facebook App Center. I think I'll wet my pants [said in Harry Doyle tone].
- GMiDHF.
- Weird to think that Grantland's already been around for a year. In fairness, I do like the writing on that site a lot more than on ESPN's main site. I know that's not saying a ton, but it's something. Also, this seems like a good time to remind you that this article exists. <3
- Chris Ryan on the first day of Euro. Wonder if he'll have a piece every day...
- I miss Jose Contreras.

- Man, Anderson Cooper really doesn't like Amanda Bynes. [warning, video autoplays]
- Even CNN is getting in on the ridiculous Euro 2012 hype. They've brought the whose tattoo is this? game.
UPDATE: Somewhat depressingly, I got 8 out of 10.
- Leslie Knope wrote an article. Let's read it.
- A Classical article on Paul Konerko? Yes please!
- Reducer, Euro style. And it's got shout-outs to Arshavin and Walcott, how nice!

- Bristolmetrics: the Miami Heat, who else?
- Journey To The Center Of Hawkthorne is becoming a real game. Pretty cool.
- Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Zack from Saved By The Bell) tells us what we have been refusing to admit for a long time: "It’s not a great show."
- You'd figure ESPN would make a list of the top 40 players at Euro 2012 after the tournament, but they're so excited about the tournament that they've wet themselves with this pointless piece: Top 40 Players of Euro 2012. Klaas is #39, and, quite unjustly, Bendtner is not listed.
UPDATE: Just found out that Alexi Lalas was part of the committee that voted on this list. Now it all makes sense.
- New Twitter logo. God, I don't care even a little.

Thanks to the reliability of free web hosting, RMB's server was down yesterday. As a result, You won't be getting a Five Things for 6/4. It's a shame, really, as I had several good things lined up. I tried to IM any good stuff to people I thought would care, so hopefully you still got your fix for interesting articles. Anyway, here's today...
- Here's one source who hasn't been particularly impressed with Microsoft's showing at E3 thus far.
- This man lives in his own private airplane. I thought it would look a lot cooler. Instead, it seems like just an old airplane with some unimpressive modifications.
- If, when you're watching Euro 2012 coverage on ESPN, it looks like the studio action is being broadcast from Poland or Ukraine, then ESPN's fairly complex and detailed studio tricked you.
- Funbag. Oh, here's something I was going to post yesterday: I'm going to add another weekly feature, The 30, which is a stupid name for MLB power rankings.
- Man, I have such a crush on Nick Offerman.

- The Carling Cup is no more. Now it is the Capital One Cup, which sounds like a stupid college football game.
- The potential new Maryland football field is amazing.
- All articles about Nicklas Bendtner are worth reading.
- Axl Rose beefs with Slash on an exciting new level! Make sure to scroll all the way down and check out the fan who got caught in the crossfire. [via Nate]
