Teens hate riding the bus, but love drifting in it

The last time we saw a bus drifting it was in a commercial for public transportation in Denmark. The last time we saw Nitro Circus it was waging off-road paintball battles by land and by air. Combine the two and what do you get. An off-roading school bus that can drift in a parking lot and in the mud, but not before setting the whole rear end on fire.
Kids would never be late to school if they got this kind of ride.

Oprah Tweets About Her Love for Microsoft Surface from an iPad

Oprah has not been shy about her love for her annual Favorite Things, which in this year includes the Microsoft Surface RT. Hours ago, she (or one of her staff members) tweeted that she bought 12 Surface units for Christmas gifts, but it was sent using Twitter for iPad. On the surface (pardon the pun), this sounds likes a bad PR job. It has been reported that Microsoft spent $1.5 billion to promote Windows 8 and the devices that run it.
