Hey it's me. Your computer. You seem so far away! You haven't used me in forever, tell me why you gotta stray. Don't you want to watch Sam Sheffer? Telling you the news?

Remember all the things we shared, like Apple's patent spats? BlackBerry announcements (in January), and Star Wars in a theater near you? I'd hate to see you get all heated, if suddenly they got deleted.

Want to keep me calm and stable? Perkier, more able? To keep me happy in every way, I need you to watch these 90 Seconds TODAY.

Stories of the day:

• Apple and HTC settle all patent litigation with 10-year license agreement
• Lucasfilm confirms 'Star Wars: Episode VII' will be written by 'Toy Story 3' scribe Michael Arndt
• BlackBerry 10 launch event scheduled for January 30th
