    Star Wars Getting 3D Re-release Starting 2012

    Dammit George, do you have any idea how many times I've purchased these movies, because I sure don't! I've had at least 2 copies on VHS (I skipped Laser Disc) a couple copies of each episode on DVD, and planning on getting the Blu Ray releases at some point... now 3D? GAH! There needs to be...

    Microsoft Announces New Xbox 360 Kinect Bundle

    System upgrades don't make sense unless you are creating a new console. After all, game designers couldn't optimize their games to the improved hardware because then the older systems wouldn't be able to handle it. As for cross-platform, that's a novel ideal but in practice, I don't think the...

    Microsoft Announces New Xbox 360 Kinect Bundle

    I got my xbox 360 shortly after launch. Just before the 3 year mark, it red-ringed and I was able to get it repaired under their "Oops we messed up on this design" extended warranty. Now, it looks like it may be on its death bead once more so the thought of a package deal is becoming more...

    They need to make an Optimus Prime version of the phone then... but then how would you decide between an Optimus Prime or an R2-D2 Droid 2?

    Google Users Complain Over Nifty ''Ballsy'' Logo

    Wow, that's kind of cool. I would have never seen it if it wasn't for this article though. I almost never go to the main Google page. I either go straight to Gmail or I type my search query into the address bar of Chrome.

    Verizon Releases Photos of R2-D2 DROID 2

    Yes, because Lucas trademarked the term "Droid", even the original "Droid" phones had to pay royalties to Lucas. I assume it wasn't that much more difficult to get them to agree to an R2-D2 phone. I wish I didn't have another whole year until I could upgrade my Droid!

    TV Networks Not Keen on Apple's $0.99 Rentals

    I have to agree that even $.99 is too much for an episode of television. I can watch it when it runs, I can record it with my DVR, I can catch it on the network's website... or I can pay $.99 to *rent* it? Let me see which choice makes more sense here.

    Microsoft Officially Unveils the Arc Touch Mouse

    I wonder how often you will end up "accidentally" flattening the mouse when you are resting the weight of your hand on it. I'd rather not my mouse make me feel like "HULK SMASH!" everything I use it.

    Google Responds to Steve Jobs' Activations Gibe

    "We did not!" "You did so!" "Nu-uh!" Gotta love it when business act like toddlers!

    Samsung Unveils Galaxy Tab, Talks Android 3.5

    Perhaps it's just me, but is the tablet *supposed* to have a shortcut to a "phone" application on it? I suppose it could be some form of VoIP.

    PlayTime Allows Android & iOS to Play Together

    Hmm, I wonder if the disconnected player would resume their spot once they regained their connection? Probably not, I see that as becoming a huge nightmare trying to keep the state of the game correct. This does sound really interesting though. I hope some quality games will use this so we...
