Your daily bit of buzz.
- Macbook wheel (+475%). The Onion's approach to a new, fake Apple product: a useless computer that has no keyboard. If you don't like it, you're clearly getting in the way of human history.
- FBI jobs (+2,050%). If you're one of the recently unemployed, or just like the idea of being a g-man or woman, check out the FBI's major hiring blitz.
- Old Spaghetti Factory (+285%). To celebrate the restaurant chain's 40th anniversary, prices on complete meals will be at special, low old-timey rates.
- Dianne Feinstein (+285%). The California senator broke with Democratic party leaders over the seating of Roland Burris. Feinstein said that the Senate should accept the appointment, despite it coming from the tainted Illinois governor.
- Quick easy healthy recipes (+113%). It's diet season and searches on diets, diet foods, and diet devices such as the bodybugg are causing a feeding frenzy on the Web.
