And the world’s largest Internet registration company entices Web entrepreneurs with a Super Bowl ad in which two female celebrities paint its logo onto the body of an apparently naked model.
Forget what you think you know about the benignly geeky computer programmer who lives for the thrill of finding a single misplaced semicolon in thousands of lines of code.
And welcome to the world of the “brogrammer.”

Instagram Android app is coming
Austin, Texas (CNN) — Instagram, the iPhone photo-sharing app that turns almost anyone into an artful photographer, is growing at an astonishing rate.
The app now has 27 million registered users — up from 15 million in December, its co-founders announced Sunday. And a long-awaited version of Instagram for the Android platform is coming soon.
“We’ve been able to put together one of the most incredible Android apps you will ever see,” said CEO Kevin Systrom told audience members during a session at the South By Southwest Interactive conference, waving an Android phone with a prototype on it. “It’s extremely fast.”
Systrom said he’s been using the Android phone since shattering his iPhone while climbing out of an Austin pedicab.

Domain names, for the uninitiated, are the dot-com, dot-net, dot-org and other addresses that identify websites and e-mail addresses. You can register one, if the name’s not already taken, at any of hundreds of services (hint: you shouldn’t pay more than $15 a year for a dot-com address).
