Fox has been gently busy over the last couple of days, unveiling plans for a 24-hour sports network that may be the most significant challenger to ESPN’s throne, and including brand-new features to its mobile apps.

One tweak it will bring is the “double box” industrial format that tries to keep the game on while ads play, which is expected to be used frequently on the new channel. It will have a suite of studio shows to contend with the sports leader also, and even a Fox Sports Go “mobile experience” on iOS, Android and the web with live video streaming and news/stats for authenticated customers.

This Is Why You’re Fat: 24-Hour Cupcake ATM
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Sprinkles, an upscale Cupcake bakery, is opening a 24-hour ATM at their Beverly Hills location (WHICH I WILL VISIT AND REVIEW) that will serve cupcakes, cupcake mixes, dog cupcakes (cupcakes for dogs not made WITH dogs), ice cream and apparel 24-hours a day. Need a red velvet cupcake at 3AM? Your boyfriend just broke up with you! Also, it’s not actually an ATM, it’s an automat, so after you touch-screen your order there’s gonna be a person behind the thing pushing your food through. I know, not as cool. Still, if it’s between late-night cupcakes or taquitos and a Slurpee from 7-11, I’d definitely…”Taquitos, hands down — plus they sell dong bags behind the counter.” AHAHAHAHAHA — Don Juan, ladies and gentlemen!
Behold, the world’s first cupcake ATM [dvice]

Geekend steps its game up with a 24-hour Hackathon, promises boost to nerd cred
Author: Markus Smith
For the past two years, all sorts of gadget, social media and design geeks have descended upon Savannah, GA. The goal is clear: to spend the weekend hearing from the nerds they look up to, including our pal Major Nelson, who spoke back in 2009. This year was no different — and to make things even more interesting — event organizers invited attendees to participate in the first ever Geekend Hackathon. Teams of up to four members, fueled by a copious supply of Mountain Dew and pizza, were given 24 hours to come up with the most innovative desktop, mobile or web application they could. There was just one catch: teams had to incorporate at least three out of five key words that were randomly assigned to them. The only other stipulation was that if the code used to create each app wasn’t already available online, they had to place the open source that they developed in a web repository before the event.
We were there to catch the results, which showcased a mixed bag of entertaining (and useful) applications. Projects ranging from an app tracking vegetable eating habits to one that uses image recognition to bring your favorite comics to a mobile device showed just what could be done in a day — given enough caffeine, of course. Another allowed you to feed your urge to hug every cat, while a neighborhood advocacy community enabled concerned citizens to vote on issues in their area. Rounding out the field was a field trip database for teachers to share ideas on sites to take their students for the best experience. Two winners — judge’s choice and people’s choice — received a super geeky trophy (pictured above) and a major boost to their street…er online cred. If you’re yearning to find out more about this year’s happenings, hit the coverage link below and start booking your trip for next year.
