Indie band Arcade Fire recently put out a fantastic album called The Suburbs. If you haven’t heard it, go buy it now. It’s one of the the best I’ve heard in quite some time. To promote it they’ve done some TV appearances on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, some summer festival appearances, and an [...]
Blockbuster, formerly America’s Starbucks of video rental stores (remember those?) is expected to file for bankruptcy next month. It’s not hard to see why since they’ve lost so much ground to Netflix, Redbox, Hulu, and P2P. In fact, Blockbuster has lost over 1.1 billion since 2008, is sitting on 920 million in debt, and was [...]
Panasonic posted a new video demonstration of how tough their ToughBook notebooks are. It’s like Will It Blend but far more impressive. Just, take a look at the video below. Panasonic took their ToughBook up against a rammer by mounting it on the rammer. It’s nothing incredible, just a bunch of shaking, but just wait [...]
Toshiba is working on a new 3DTV that won’t require glasses. This is what I’ve been waiting for and the catalyst that will help 3DTV truly take off. At home, people don’t want to wear glasses to watch TV, and they especially don’t want to fork out $130 a pair. No word from Toshiba on [...]
You’ve all heard of ChatRoulette right? It’s that website that matches you up with a random stranger and you chat via webcam. Well, LionsGate has found an awesome use for the site that doesn’t involve horny 20 year olds showing you their raging boners or hoping to jack off to naked chicks that might be [...]
I’m kinda surprised by this since I ditched Norton a long time ago, but it has some out on top on AV-Test’s Q2 testing with a score of 16/18. Very impressive, for what I considered to be bloatware and only bogged down your computer. I don’t think this will make me switch because I’m a [...]
Teen heartthrob and professional thief (NSFW link) recently tweeted someone’s phone number to his almost 5 million followers. Almost immediately, the number was flooded with texts and calls from fans of the Canadian pop sensation. The number belongs to a guy named Kevin Kristopik. To demonstrate how this affected him, Kevin posted a video from [...]
If a German online retailer is to be believed, this is Microsoft’s rumored Arc Touch mouse. It features that same Arc design as the Arc mouse, but this time they’re taking some cues from Apple and making the mouse touch based (including the scrolling). They’re also giving the blue laser technology that lets it track [...]
OH YES! This is what we’ve been waiting for! At the Star Wars Celebration V convention this past weekend, George Lucas finally announced that Star Wars is coming to HD for the first time. Now, before you get your hopes up too much, it’s only the new versions. So all you purists out there, you’ll [...]
Uh, what? I guess the RIAA still thinks it’s 1985 and just like LL Cool J, we can’t live without our radio. That or it’s the latest in many misguided attempts to keep profits up. As the Consumer Electronics Association said “Rather than adapt to the digital marketplace, NAB and RIAA act like buggy-whip industries [...]
