We hope your weekend was awesome, whether you spent it in the sun at your local beach or indoors with a latte and a good book. Now it's Monday morning (in America, at least) and it's time to get back to work. To help you get up to speed, we've collected some of the top stories and resources from the weekend.
This weekend, two Windows Phone 7 rumors caused a stir, Northwestern University talked down celebrities on Twitter, Netflix won a huge cache of content new and old, and Apple updated iTunes to make Ping more usable. Oh, and Elmo touched hearts through YouTube, and we assembled a list of Sci-Fi predictions that have, amazingly enough, come true in recent years.
Thanks for reading!
