If you need to check status updates even when you're driving, Facebook and General Motors have a solution for you. As you might remember, there has been a rumor that General Motors OnStar system might get a Facebook integration so that you can receive status updates from your Facebook account while you're driving. This is not a rumor anymore and it seems that Facebook and General Motors have taken this quite seriously.

In order to use Facebook integration with your car you'll have to connect your phone to General Motors OnStar System via Bluetooth and you're good to go. Thanks to this integration, your car can read Facebook updates to you or even incoming SMS. This makes it relatively safe to use while driving. Thanks to voice control, you can send certain predefined responses. Besides that, this system will allow you to start your car, lock it, or even control your lights and your horn with your phone.

This new system from GM looks great but we hope to wait and see how it works in action. Facebook is everywhere, but is it necessary to be connected to Facebook even when you're driving?

It is simple, the USB heating blanket uses power via the USB to heat up and keep the body that it covers warm.

""Buried in the Buganoids announcement email from Backflip Studios was this tiny little tidbit:

A game developed by us in tandem with MGM Studios based on the cult classic ARMY OF DARKNESS movie will launch early in 2011 . . . deadites beware!

That's right! Army of Darkness the game is coming to the App Store in 2011.

Now, I know what you're thinking… "a movie franchise game?" But Backflip's Julian Farrior says the whole team is "insanely excited" about it and it's collectively the team's favorite movie. So, we're going to mark this one as "can't wait" for now.

The game will include all the favorite quotes from the movie and is described as a hybrid castle/tower defense inspired game. Your job is to protect the Necrinomicon from the deadites with help with your boomstick, chainsaw and more.

Here's a great collection of many of the quotes, probably not entirely safe for work:


If you haven't seen Army of Darkness, well, you've got time before the expected "early 2011" release.
