Android App Review: Who Becomes Rich
Who Becomes Rich is a fun multiple-choice trivia game where you compete to win big bucks. It closely resembles Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and is very addicting, so watch out.
The questions start out incredible easy, but gradually get more difficult as the monetary value increases. Topics include: general knowledge, sports, movies, politics, geography, biology, computer science and mathematics.
Each question has four answers and you're given three lifelines to last through the entire game. 50/50 eliminates two of the answers, ask the audience is self explanatory, and you can scrap the current question for another one.
Once you lose the game, you can enter your name to submit it to the leaderboard and even share it to Facebook if you wish.
Options include the ability to change 'Answer Clicked Wait Time', and 'Answer Solving Wait Time'.
The game app is available for free in the Android Market. Please find links to it after the break as well as more screenshots.

Groupon: 50% Off at Wine.com
Update: This deal has expired.
Groupon is offering 50% off at online retailer Wine.com. They say the offer runs through Friday but quantities are limited and we've seen these sell out in the past.
After a wave of similar offers earlier in the year, Wine.com seems to be making the rounds again with these offers. Living Social ran a $40 for $80 a couple weeks ago.
This time it's $25 for $50 -or- $40 for $80 through Groupon. I'd recommend going for the $40 for $80 because the voucher can't be used towards shipping and as a percentage of the total order less value is eroded with the $40 for $80. If you've previously purchased their Steward Ship package (similar to Amazon Prime - free shipping on all orders for a year) it can be used in conjunction with vouchers like this one. They sometimes offer that for $25 and include a 6 month subscription to Wine Spectator so there is a certain amount of stacking that can be done here. But you have to be crafty.
One other catch - they say it doesn't work for alcohol orders shipped to MA. If you can get past that, you'll notice the prices at Wine.com aren't exactly the greatest. But their markup doesn't seem to be uniform. Take for example the 2009 Caymus Special Selection. They've got it for $99. With a $40 voucher it would be $60 plus shipping for that bottle which is a about $40 less than I see it for anywhere else in the country.

Picksie, The App That Plans Your Evening Entertainment, Launches On Android
If you haven't heard already — perhaps because you live outside of the San Fran/NYC area or maybe because you're averse to having fun — Picksie is a location-based app that helps you figure out what to do. But it gets way more intensive than a Yelp!-style app because Picksie takes everything it can possibly learn about you and your surroundings to determine your options for the evening. This includes current weather, location, time, past ratings, biographical information from your user account, reviews, and search information. The app's been on iOS for some time now, but today is extending to a multitude of new devices courtesy of the Android Market. To celebrate, Picksie has set up a pretty awesome giveaway with us today, but I'm not going to spoil the surprise. All I'll say is stay tuned.

Linux Fans Gorge on Raspberry Pi
Frantic buyers cleaned out the shelves of two UK retailers offering a small $35 Linux computer from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The credit-card-sized device, which is named after the foundation, plugs into a TV and a keyboard. It can be used to work on spreadsheets, play games, and do word processing, and can also play high-definition video.
