Yet Another Review Of Star Trek
Ok, so at this point writing another Star Trek review is white noise. Even more so considering that I loved the movie. In fact we already have one review up on Ars Geek, provided by Mark. However, I was enthralled by the movie enough to provide my two cents.
Continue reading...We Call it Bing Microsoft’s New Version of LiveSearch to Be Named “Bing”
28. May 2009
After months of pablum discussion over the new name for Microsoft’s new search engine interface, the speculation is over. The news is out. The nail biting is over. It shall be called “Bing.”
Continue reading...Too Much Texting?
6. May 2009
How do you know you’re sending too many texts? One indication that you’re sending too many text messages is when you get interviewed by Fox News for sending over 300,000 texts in one month. Yeah, I intentionally put five zeros in that number. The actual number is 303,398, but of course what are three thousand texts [...]
Continue reading...The Expendables to Be Indispensable
20. April 2009
Why The Expendables could be one of the most important movies of this generation. If done well, which I think the new Rocky and Rambo were, seeing these iconic characters and figures at the end of their game is a logical and potentially powerful narrative course of action. It’s arguable whether or not the 4th [...]

14. April 2009
Corporate iPhone use has an unexpected side effect: happier employees. At least, that’s the conclusions drawn by a new report from Forrester Research, as reported by The Apple Blog. Corporate users have been enjoying the iPhone as a communication device, allowing them to stay in touch with their company’s home base both via E-mail and voice. [...]

9. April 2009
Before comic books were cool they were shoved into hallway lockers along with other nerdy counterparts like Dungeons and Dragons and computers. In 2009 you would have to be some kind of social outcast if you were into Lord of the Rings, Batman and the internet, right? Well back when we were all ashamed to [...]

3. April 2009
Around the time of March Madness, nearly every year an article is created about how much money is lost due to fans watching the tournament. With internet browsing, there’s even more articles based around money lost due to leisurely browsing. I could post an entire artile linking to connections between financing, and internet browsing. Now, [...]

27. March 2009
As I keep reading about OnLive, and watch videos of it in action I think back to a very insightful quote: "No matter what the level of your ability, you have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime.” - James T Mccay

19. February 2009
Imagine, if you will a world where every form of media as we know is accessible (legally), free, by means of the internet. It's not a stretch to imagine, mostly because almost every form of media we know is available via internet. Welcome to the future. Granted, the landscape for game playing, television watching, hasn't quite 'caught up' in terms of selection and quality, compared to traditional media. Just give it time.

17. February 2009
Straight out of a science fiction book comes the new Presentation Pro Swiss Army Knife. OK maybe not out of a science fiction book, but who would have thought there would ever be a swiss army knife with a laser pin and USB built in? Maybe its just me. The new Presentation Pro Swiss Army Knife [...]
Continue reading...The History Of Star Wars Video Games
5. February 2009
Star Wars has ruled the entertainment galaxy for what seems like forever. Since I've been alive, Star Wars has always been around in some shape or form. Whether it's books, bed sheets, holiday musicals it seems like Star Wars will always be a part of my life. Nothing has really come close to capturing the magic of the original trilogy, but one form of media that has come close is in video games.

9. January 2009
Trust Sony to bringing new meaning to the word “ultraportable.” This week it launched the Vaio, a computer that runs Windows Vista and has an eight-inch screen, but weighs a good deal less than two pounds and can run for up to four or eight hours (depending on whether users stick with the standard [...]

11. December 2008
You can chalk up today’s news as perhaps rumor, but there’s plenty of evidence to substantiate the story. I knew that this day would eventually come, I just didn’t think it would be so soon. Someone has officially created the first robot wife, according to Sun.co.uk. Le Trung is the inventor of his robot wife, who [...]

12. November 2008
A trip to Wal-Mart will really bring the home the fact that the holidays are on the way. It may be a couple weeks until Thanksgiving, but Christmas accessories are aplenty.

10. November 2008
It is my belief that there are two kinds of Terminator fans. There are the kind that enjoyed the first three films, and eagerly await the next episode of the Sarah Connor Chronicles, and there are those who love the first two, thought the third one was somewhere between bad and mildly decent, and are not very interested in either the Sarah Connor Chronicles or the upcoming Terminator: Salvation. If you fall into a different category, please correct me if I'm wrong.
