| Girls Get Geekier
Any time I come across software developers or visit an IT business, one thing immediately strikes me – where are the women? For all the talk of girl geeks, computing - and technology more generally - is still a very male-dominated business. Even a few months back at a meeting of would-be Facebook application developers – a very young crowd - there must have been ten men for every woman. But that could be about to change. A new survey out today from a major supermarket (no, I'm not going to name them – but the research looks reasonably sound) suggests that girls may now be better at some computing tasks than boys. The survey of more than a thousand 7-16 year olds found that girls were more likely to know how to create a word document, put a profile on a social network or upload a video onto YouTube.
Belichick can't bear to see perfect season tick away for Patriots
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -A single second showed on the clock - a tick away from a Giant upset. Before Eli Manning could take a final knee to seal New York's 17-14 upset victory Sunday night, Patriots coach Bill Belichick ran onto the field for a quick handshake with Giants coach Tom Coughlin and made a beeline for the locker room. The so-called genius coach with the three Super Bowl rings appeared little more than a poor sport. "I mean, look, they played well," Belichick said. "They made some plays. We made some plays. In the end, they made a couple more than we did." They sure did, and that should alarm Belichick. He put together perhaps the best team the NFL has seen in a long time, setting records galore on offense with Tom Brady and Randy Moss.

About TODAY
In June 1994, “Today" moved from its longtime home at New York's 30 Rockefeller Plaza to a stunning new site next door, NBC News' glass-walled, ground-floor production facility at the corner of 49th Street and Rockefeller Plaza. The facility brings to mind the “Today" of the early 1950s, which also had its studio windows facing the streets of New York City. The three-story, 18,000-square-foot home of “Today" now attracts thousands of visitors each year to peer into its windows and become part of Today's broadcast. .
