Quick Clicks: Apple Tablet Rumors, 'Diggnation', Pin-Ups and YouTube

YouTube planning a live streaming push? In a recent interview with YouTube’s Hunter Walk, he confidently hinted that “There is really no particular technology challenge to us delivering any type of video.” Speculation is still abound as to whether they’ll tee off against (or just buy one of) the upstart live portals like UStream, Justin.tv, Livestream or Stickam.

Web Series Pin-Up Calendar? Sure, why not. If you’ve got it flaunt it. Indie comedy series Safety Geeks: SVI launched their very own cal with cast member and former Playboy Playmate Brittney Powell. We’ll have to make room in the office for this one right next to our Tiki Bar TV pin-up cal from Lala (yes, we really have one). [Amazon]

Break.com is offering up some holiday cash ($600) for successfully pie-ing your Aunt Rita in the face. The site is offering the cash, as they often do, for entries into the “Holiday Fails” contest making it to the homepage. [Break.com

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century still gets sci-fi junkies going. The teaser trailer (below) to the upcoming web series, which is really just a fancy looking spaceship flying by, hit the internets today. The project was first announced back in January, and has taken its time so far. [Sci-Fi Block]

John Hodgman talks Apple’s Tablet PC on Diggnation today (bel0w). Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht interviewed Hodgman, (you know the “PC” from Apple’s “Get a Mac” ads) and Albrecht quipped that he “was shocked at how cheap the price point is going to be.” As expected the Apple blogs are going nuts about this.  [AppleInsider, MacRumors, TUAW]
