This week we're buried under a ton of Apple news. We have new test results for the MacBook Pro and 13-inch MacBook Air, plus there's the new iPad 2 to talk about. Later, Charlie Sheen goes rogue on Ustream, and we ask if celeb Web-casting is the ultimate end-run around the studio system?

A second mysterious, robotic space plane was launched into orbit by the U.S. Air Force today, after the first craft safely returned to Earth late last year following a secretive months-long mission and speculation about its potential military or intelligence uses.
The second Boeing-built X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle, or OTV, left Cape Canaveral, Fla., at 2:46 p.m. PT, atop an Atlas V rocket, Boeing said.
"History was made in December when the X-37B became the United States' first unmanned vehicle to return from space and land on its own," Craig Cooning, vice president and general … Read more
This week we recap the best and worst high-tech ads from the Super Bowl, then debate the surprisingly high price of the Xoom tablet. There's plenty of media news as well, with The Daily launching for the iPad and AOL picking up the Huffington Post.
Finally, we play another round of our new tech trivia game, with Joey, Scott, and Julie playing to win prizes for chat room participants. Tune in live every week at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT for your chance to play. The game is new, and doesn't have a proper name yet, but we're thinking of calling it Office Dummies, after our favorite Twitter feed.

Given that we are unlikely to get past 2012, perhaps it's churlish to even think of what 2025 might look like.
However, the indelible optimists at NASA have revealed images of commercial aircraft designs that might well take to the air, should 2025 actually materialize.
It seems that in the darker parts of 2010, NASA gave Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Brumman money to ponder what improvements might be made to our current aerial cattle carriers.
The initial designs, published on NASA's own site, will make some drool and a few, perhaps, shiver.

We tend to think of paper planes as small things, thrown in class in order to get 7-year-olds through the crushing boredom of, say, arithmetic.
But you might not have guessed that some adventurous sort would, one day, try to build a paper plane with a three-foot wingspan.
If you did, I feel sure that it would not have crossed your mind, as it did that of three British amateurs, to build a paper plane with a three-foot wingspan and send it into space.
