The woman you see here walking her dog is named Wendy Southgate and she is the most photographed person on Google Street View. On the day that the Google Street View car decided to take pictures in Suffolk, England, Southgate was walking her dog at the same time. As the Google Street View car was driving around and taking pictures of the streets, they also caught Southgate on camera 43 times. The car followed the same route as Southgate and her dog Trixie. “I didn’t know what it was doing. It was just driving round very, very slowly,” Wendy said in an interview with Sun. [Sun via CNET]

Gray Powell, a graduate from North Carolina State University and an Apple Software Engineer was out celebrating his birthday at an establishment called The Gourmet Haus Staudt in Redwood City, California. Powell’s responsibilities are to work on the iPhone Baseband Software, which allows the iPhone to make phone calls. On March 18, 2010 the night of his 27th birthday he was at the Redwood City bar celebrating. He was celebrating and even wrote a status message from the iPhone he had on him, “I underestimated how good German beer is.” The phone that he was using was the new iPhone disguised as an iPhone 3G S. And he left that iPhone on a bar stool. Eventually that iPhone found its way into tech blog Gizmodo’s hands at the cost of $5,000 from someone that found it.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) announced on their website that the iPad 3G will start shipping on May 7th in the U.S. Some iPad 3G devices may be delivered before that date. No word yet on international availability and pricing yet, but pre-orders will start on May 10th.

Groupon.com has raised $135 million from Digital Sky Technologies and Battery Ventures, giving the company a $1 billion valuation. Groupon is profitable and has 270 employees. Groupon launched only about a year ago and previously raised about $5.8 million from New Enterprise Associates and other angel investors. Groupon e-mails a daily deal to people across major cities that offers huge discounts for services, assuming that a bulk number of people sign up for it at the same time. If the required number of people do not sign up, nobody gets the deal or discount.

The original David After Dentist video has about 57 million plus views on YouTube and now there is a sequel called David After Dentist 2. David DeVore (the father of the kid in the video) also sells merchandise at DavidAfterDentist.com. Some of the profit made from the video views and merchandise is donated to Operation Smile and Drew Olanoff’s Blame Drew’s Cancer.

“People ask for more videos on a daily basis, but we have been careful because we are aware that it would be difficult for anything else to approach the success of ‘David After Dentist,’” DeVore said in an statement with Mashable. “However, now seems like the right time to release the uncut, unedited extra footage we have.” Below is the sequel [Mashable]
