Some might argue that Newt Gingrich's emphasis on scientific pursuits hurt his political chances ? but what's really needed is more science, not less, says our own Alan Boyle.

Speaking of science, before he donned those funky futuristic shades as Starfleet engineer Geordi LaForge, LeVar Burton was synonymous with "Reading Rainbow," and now he's wrested control of the dormant @ReadingRainbow Twitter account.

A fan group of the Facebook game set a new record Jan. 31 for having the most comments on a single post: 1,001,552.

Want to talk Facebook millions ... and billions? The?social network company announced its $5 billion public offering Wednesday afternoon, which is expected to value the whole company at $75 billion to $100 billion. Ultimately, that offering will mint a lot of billionaires and millionaires. Here's who they are?(one is a graffitti artist).

Ands here's what Facebook's IPO could mean for fraud and spam on the social network.

Whoopsie! HTC handsets are totally leaking WiFi passwords!

Popular gadget blog Gizmodo proclaimed that the site's writers were able to "spy on a total stranger's iPhone" thanks to an iMessage-related bug.

Meanwhile, RIM?s newest BlackBerry will now look like all the other phones out there: A slim, flat black slab. Happy now?

Google talked smack about Microsoft talking smack about Google in that new ad.
