Show 1. As explained, 5 Minutes of Interesting is going to be a short, to the point show, delivering 2-4 news stories, and light commentary. Today's show features just myself, but I intend to have 2 people most of the time. Here are today's stories.
McDonald's is now offering free WiFi at 11,500 of its 14,000 locations within the United States. This makes McDonald's one of the largest free Wifi providers in the nation; the company claiming that 16% of the Wireless Hotspots in the nation are McDonalds.

President Obama finally tweeted for the very first time, just this afternoon. He and the first lady were visiting the Red Cross's Disaster Operations center, and the president tweeted through the Red Cross's account- "Pushing the Button" as explained by someone working for the Red Cross. The president admitted to the workers at the center that he had never tweeted before, which seems odd considering the role that social media played in the 2008 election.

Apple has announced their next event, saying "Come and see our latest creation". Invitations went out earlier today for an event on the 27th of January, and the event will be held in San Francisco. As Gizmodo points out, Apple's events often are named in such a way that they give away a little about what's going to be going on at the event. For instance, the "It's only Rock n' Roll" event from last Fall dealt entirely with iTunes and iPods, while their "Something's in the air" event saw the revealing of the Macbook Air. If this trend is present here perhaps this event will see the revealing of the much discussed Apple tablet, possibly named the "iSlate".
