The week is truly and really at an end and no, kids, there was nary a Lion to be seen. So chalk up another bad call for the rumor mill. Will people remember this the next time they cry "wolf in Lion's clothing"? Will they nothing. We're creatures who crave novelty and anticipation and nothing we do will ever cure the rumor addiction. And so just in case you weren't by your computer's side 24/7 waiting for the biggest cat of all to go live, here's a few stories you might just have missed.
- How to Get Started with Spotify - It was undoubtedly the biggest news of the week. Spotify, long-lauded in Europe, was finally coming to America, then just like that it was here. What is it?

Meanwhile, here's the "buzz" on Google+ (see what we did there?).

Well, let's not only download our pix for posterity, just in case, but let's also back them up for safety too.
- How to Use Crossover for Windows Browsing - We get it, believe us. We're Mac users in a PC world and sometimes, sometimes there just isn't an Apple-compatible solution to your problems. Sometimes, yes, you need Bill Gates. But who wants to shell out for a licensed copy of Windows for that once every six weeks need? Ah, but CrossOver might just be the cure for what ails ya.
- Wow-Keys Keyboard Review - This had all the makings of genius awesome wowness. A keyboard that charges our iPhone and lets us swap back and forth between texting and typing is some kind of killer idea. But then it just kind of flopped for us.
