the buzz log

Here's what's buzzing on the Web.

1. Red ring of death (+1,130%). It's not something you want to see if you're an Xbox 360 owner. Gamers can find DIY fix-it remedies on the Web.
2. Adolf Hitler cake (+313%). The sad, sad story of a child affixed with the Nazi leader's name who apparently has problems ordering customized birthday cakes.
3. Obama smoking (+228%). On the topic of this nasty habit, Obama has admitted it's hard to quit. Anti-smoking groups are hoping that the President-elect will be Cold Turkey in Chief.
4. Britney Madonna (+138%). Last month in L.A., Britney Spears made an appearance at Madonna's "Sticky and Sweet" concert. Now the comeback kid of pop stars wants the Material Girl to return the favor when Spears goes on tour next year.
5. Steve Jobs health (+131%). Even the mere whiff of a rumor of the Apple CEO's health being in jeopardy is enough to send its share price down. The company announced that Jobs would not be delivering the keynote at the upcoming tech show.
