This article from Space.com may not be about breaking personal technology, but it does highlight the significance of seemingly trivial interactive internet features. NASA will be announcing the name of a new section of the international space station tomorrow on the Colbert Report. Stephen Colbert has mentioned the new module numerous times, hoping that it will be named for him. NASA held an online poll in which those interested could vote for or suggest names for the new module. Colbert's fans voted for the comedian more than 230,000 times.

I thought this story was interesting due to the viral aspect of a goofy cause like naming part of the space station after Stephen Colbert. Anything can reach cult status online.
